ARTICLE 2

The Securities

     Section 2.01. Form and Dating. The Securities of each series shall be substantially in such
form or forms (not inconsistent with this Indenture) as shall be established by or pursuant to one
or more Board Resolutions or in one or more

7

 

indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have
imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon such legend or legends or endorsements, not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law, or with any rules
of any securities exchange or usage, all as may be determined by the officers executing such
Securities as evidenced by their execution of the Securities. Unless otherwise so established,
Unregistered Securities shall have coupons attached.

     The Security Guarantee by the Parent Guarantor to be endorsed on the Securities of each series
shall be substantially in such form or forms (not inconsistent with this Indenture) as shall be
established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or in one or more indentures
supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have imprinted or otherwise
reproduced thereon such legend or legends or endorsements, not inconsistent with the provisions of
this Indenture, as may be required to comply with any law, or with any rules of any securities
exchange or usage, all as may be determined by the officers executing such Security Guarantees as
evidenced by their execution of the Security Guarantees.

     Section 2.02. Execution And Authentication. One Officer of the Company shall execute the
Securities and one Officer of the Company shall execute the coupons appertaining thereto for the
Company by facsimile or manual signature in the name and on behalf of the Company. If an Officer
of the Company whose signature is on a Security or coupon appertaining thereto no longer holds that
office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security and such coupon shall nevertheless
be valid.

     One Officer of the Parent Guarantor shall execute the Security Guarantees for the Parent
Guarantor by facsimile or manual signature in the name and on behalf of the Parent Guarantor. If
an Officer of the Parent Guarantor whose signature is on a Security Guarantee no longer holds that
office at the time the Security Guarantee is authenticated, the Security Guarantee shall
nevertheless be valid.

     The Trustee, at the expense of the Company, may appoint an authenticating agent (the
“Authenticating Agent”) to authenticate Securities. The Authenticating Agent may authenticate
Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by
the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent.

     A Security and the coupons appertaining thereto shall not be valid until the Trustee or
Authenticating Agent signs, manually or by facsimile, the certificate of authentication on the
Security or on the Security to which such coupon appertains. The signature shall be conclusive
evidence that the Security or the Security to which the coupon appertains has been authenticated
under this Indenture.

8

 

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any series having attached thereto appropriate coupons, if any,
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication together with the applicable documents
referred to below in this Section, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such
Securities to or upon the written order of the Company. In authenticating any Securities of a
series, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive prior to the authentication of any Securities of
such series, and (subject to Article 8) shall be fully protected in relying upon, unless and until
such documents have been superseded or revoked:

     (a) any Board Resolution and/or executed supplemental indenture referred to in
Sections 2.01 and 2.03 by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Securities of
that series were established;

     (b) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the form or forms and terms of the
Securities, stating that the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series have
been, or, in the case of a Periodic Offering, will be when established in accordance with
such procedures as shall be referred to therein, established in compliance with this
Indenture; and

     (c) an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect that the form or forms and
terms of the Securities of such series have been, or, in the case of a Periodic Offering,
will be when established in accordance with such procedures as shall be referred to
therein, established in compliance with this Indenture and that the supplemental
indenture, to the extent applicable, and Securities have been duly authorized and, if
executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and
delivered to and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof on the date of such opinion,
would be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and would be valid and binding
obligations of the Company and the Parent Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and
the Parent Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium and other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally, general principles of equity, and covering such other matters
as shall be specified therein and as shall be reasonably requested by the Trustee.

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

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02, if, in connection with a Periodic
Offering, all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary to deliver the Board Resolution otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01 or the Board
Resolution and/or executed supplemental indenture, Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise

9

 

required pursuant to Section 2.02 at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such
series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of
the first Security of such series to be issued.

     With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely,
as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the forms and terms thereof and
the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and
the other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02, as applicable, in connection with
the first authentication of Securities of such series.

     If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.03 that the Securities of a series or a
portion thereof are to be issued in the form of one or more Registered Global Securities, then the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Registered Global
Securities that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate
Principal amount of all of the Securities of such series issued in such form and not yet cancelled,
(ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Registered Global Security or
Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such
Depositary or its custodian or pursuant to such Depositary’s instructions and (iv) shall (unless
provided otherwise in the form of such Security) bear a legend substantially to the following
effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive
registered form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to the
nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of
the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of
such successor Depositary.”

     Section 2.03. Amount Unlimited; Issuable in Series. The aggregate Principal amount of
Securities that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

     The Securities may be issued in one or more series and each such series shall rank equally and
pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated debt of the Company.

     There shall be established in or pursuant to Board Resolution or one or more indentures
supplemental hereto, prior to the initial issuance of Securities of any series, subject to the last
sentence of this Section 2.03,

     (a) the designation of the Securities of the series, which shall distinguish the Securities of
the series from the Securities of all other series;

     (b) any limit upon the aggregate Principal amount of the Securities of the series that may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and any limitation on the ability of the Company
to increase such aggregate Principal

10

 

amount after the initial issuance of the Securities of that series (except for Securities
authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, or
upon redemption of, other Securities of the series pursuant hereto);

     (c) the date or dates on which the Principal of the Securities of the series is payable (which
date or dates may be fixed or extendible);

     (d) the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) per annum at which the Securities of
the series shall bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which such interest shall accrue, on
which such interest shall be payable and (in the case of Registered Securities) on which a record
shall be taken for the determination of Holders to whom interest is payable and/or the method by
which such rate or rates or date or dates shall be determined;

     (e) if other than as provided in Section 4.02, the place or places where the Principal of,
premium, if any, and any interest on Securities of the series shall be payable, any Registered
Securities of the series may be surrendered for exchange, notices, demands to or upon the Company
in respect of the Securities of the series and this Indenture may be served and notice to Holders
may be published;

     (f) the right, if any, of the Company to redeem Securities of the series, in whole or in part,
at its option and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and any terms
and conditions upon which Securities of the series may be so redeemed;

     (g) the obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem, purchase or repay Securities of the
series pursuant to any mandatory redemption or at the option of a Holder thereof and the price or
prices at which and the period or periods within which and any of the terms and conditions upon
which Securities of the series shall be redeemed, purchased or repaid, in whole or in part,
pursuant to such obligation;

     (h) if other than denominations of $2,000 and any higher integral multiple of $1,000, the
denominations in which Securities of the series shall be issuable;

     (i) if other than the Principal amount thereof, the portion of the Principal amount of
Securities of the series which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity
thereof;

     (j) if other than the coin or currency in which the Securities of the series are denominated,
the coin or currency in which payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Securities of the series shall be payable or if the amount of payments of principal of, premium, if
any, and/or interest on the Securities of the series may be determined with reference to an index
based on a

11

 

coin or currency other than that in which the Securities of the series are denominated, the
manner in which such amounts shall be determined;

     (k) if other than the currency of the United States of America, the currency or currencies,
including composite currencies, in which payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, and interest
on the Securities of the series shall be payable, and the manner in which any such currencies shall
be valued against other currencies in which any other Securities shall be payable;

     (l) whether the Securities of the series or any portion thereof will be issuable as Registered
Securities (and if so, whether such Securities will be issuable as Registered Global Securities) or
Unregistered Securities (with or without coupons) (and if so, whether such Securities will be
issued in temporary or permanent global form), or any combination of the foregoing, any
restrictions applicable to the offer, sale or delivery of Unregistered Securities or the payment of
interest thereon and, if other than as provided herein, the terms upon which Unregistered
Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series and vice versa;

     (m) whether the Securities of the series may be exchangeable for and/or convertible into the
common stock of the Company or any other security;

     (n) whether and under what circumstances the Company will pay additional amounts on the
Securities of the series held by a person who is not a U.S. person in respect of any tax,
assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted and, if so, whether the Company will have
the option to redeem such Securities rather than pay such additional amounts;

     (o) if the Securities of the series are to be issuable in definitive form (whether upon
original issue or upon exchange of a temporary Security of such series) only upon receipt of
certain certificates or other documents or satisfaction of other conditions, the form and terms of
such certificates, documents or conditions;

     (p) any trustees, depositaries, authenticating or paying agents, transfer agents or the
registrar or any other agents with respect to the Securities of the series;

     (q) provisions, if any, for the defeasance of the Securities of the series (including
provisions permitting defeasance of less than all Securities of the series), which provisions may
be in addition to, in substitution for, or in modification of (or any combination of the foregoing)
the provisions of Article 10;

     (r) if the Securities of the series are issuable in whole or in part as one or more Registered
Global Securities or Unregistered Securities in global form, the identity of the Depositary or
common Depositary for such Registered Global Security or Securities or Unregistered Securities in
global form;

12

 

     (s) any other Events of Default or covenants with respect to the Securities of the series; and

     (t) any other terms of the Securities of the series (which terms shall not be inconsistent
with the provisions of this Indenture), and any requirement to have Subsidiaries Guarantee the
Securities.

     All Securities of any one series and coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be
substantially identical, except in the case of Registered Securities as to date and denomination,
except in the case of any Periodic Offering and except as may otherwise be provided by or pursuant
to the Board Resolution referred to above or as set forth in any such indenture supplemental
hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued
from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to
such Board Resolution or in any such indenture supplemental hereto and any forms and terms of
Securities to be issued from time to time may be completed and established from time to time prior
to the issuance thereof by procedures described in such Board Resolution or supplemental indenture.

     Unless otherwise expressly provided with respect to a series of Securities, the aggregate
principal amount of a series of Securities may be increased and additional Securities of such
series may be issued up to the maximum aggregate principal amount authorized with respect to such
series as increased.

     Section 2.04. Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. The Securities of
each series shall be issuable as Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities in denominations
established as contemplated by Section 2.03 or, if not so established with respect to Securities of
any series, in denominations of $2,000 and any higher integral multiple of $1,000. The Securities
of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in
accordance with such plan as the Officers of the Company executing the same may determine, as
evidenced by their execution thereof.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities, each Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication. The Securities of each series shall bear interest, if any,
from the date, and such interest and shall be payable on the dates, established as contemplated by
Section 2.03.

     The person in whose name any Registered Security of any series is registered at the close of
business on any record date applicable to a particular series with respect to any interest payment
date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest
payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Registered Security subsequent to the
record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall
default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date for such series, in which
case the provisions of Section 2.13 shall apply. The term “record date” as used with respect to
any interest payment date (except

13

 

a date for payment of defaulted interest) for the Securities of any series shall mean the date
specified as such in the terms of the Registered Securities of such series established as
contemplated by Section 2.03, or, if no such date is so established, the fifteenth day next
preceding such interest payment date, whether or not such record date is a Business Day.

     Section 2.05. Registrar and Paying Agent; Agents Generally. The Company shall maintain an
office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration, registration of transfer or
for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
payment (the “Paying Agent”), which shall be in the United States of America. The Company shall
cause the Registrar to keep a register of the Registered Securities and of their registration,
transfer and exchange (the “Security Register”). The Company may have one or more additional
Paying Agents or transfer agents with respect to any series.

     The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to
this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture and the Trust
Indenture Act that relate to such Agent. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the name and address of any Agent and any change in the name or address of an Agent. If
the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The
Company may remove any Agent upon written notice to such Agent and the Trustee; provided that no
such removal shall become effective until (i) the acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent
to such Agent as evidenced by an appropriate agency agreement entered into by the Company and such
successor Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee
shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with clause (i)
of this proviso. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent or Registrar;
provided that neither the Company nor an Affiliate of the Company shall act as Paying Agent in
connection with the defeasance of the Securities or the discharge of this Indenture under Article
10.

     The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating
Agent. If, at any time, the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar shall make available to
the Trustee ten days prior to each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may
reasonably request the names and addresses of the Holders as they appear in the Security Register.

     Section 2.06. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Not later than 10:00 a.m. New York City
time on each due date or, in the case of Unregistered Securities, 10:00 a.m. New York City time on
the Business Day prior to the due date, of any Principal or interest on any Securities, the Company
shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such
Principal or interest. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree
in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for

14

 

the benefit of the Holders of such Securities or the Trustee all money held by the Paying
Agent for the payment of Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Securities and shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. The Company
at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for
any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default,
upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to
the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no
further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If the Company or any affiliate of
the Company acts as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of any Principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on any Securities, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit
of the Holders thereof a sum of money sufficient to pay such Principal or interest so becoming due
until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this
Indenture, and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of its action or failure to act as
required by this Section.

     Section 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary
global Unregistered Securities) and coupons (except for coupons attached to any temporary global
Unregistered Securities) shall be transferable by delivery.

     At the option of the Holder thereof, Registered Securities of any series (other than a
Registered Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a Registered Security
or Registered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal
aggregate Principal amount, upon surrender of such Registered Securities to be exchanged at the
agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 2.05 and
upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. If the
Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise
established pursuant to Section 2.03, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities
of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized
denominations and an equal aggregate Principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered
Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose
in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons
attached, all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon
payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. At the option of
the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Securities of any series, maturity date, interest rate and
original issue date are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise
established pursuant to Section 2.03, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for
Unregistered Securities of such series and tenor having authorized denominations and an equal
aggregate Principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the
agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section

15

 

4.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that have coupons attached, all unmatured
coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining, and upon payment, if the Company
shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. Registered Securities of any series may not
be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of a series at the
agency of the Company that shall be maintained for that purpose in accordance with Section 2.05 and
upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate Principal amount.

     All Registered Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or
payment shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the holder or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.07, unless and until it is exchanged in
whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Registered Global Security
representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such
Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any
such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

     If at any time the Depositary for any Registered Global Securities of any series notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Registered Global
Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Registered Global Securities shall no longer
be eligible under applicable law, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under
applicable law with respect to such Registered Global Securities. If a successor Depositary
eligible under applicable law for such Registered Global Securities is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the
Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of the Company’s order for the authentication
and delivery of definitive Registered Securities of such series and tenor, will authenticate and

16

 

deliver Registered Securities of such series and tenor, in any authorized denominations, in an
aggregate Principal amount equal to the Principal amount of such Registered Global Securities, in
exchange for such Registered Global Securities.

     The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures of the
Depositary determine that any Registered Global Securities of any series shall no longer be
maintained in global form. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt
of the Company’s order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Registered Securities of
such series and tenor, will authenticate and deliver, Registered Securities of such series and
tenor in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate Principal amount equal to the Principal
amount of such Registered Global Securities, in exchange for such Registered Global Securities.

     Any time the Registered Securities of any series are not in the form of Registered Global
Securities pursuant to the preceding two paragraphs, the Company agrees to supply the Trustee with
a reasonable supply of certificated Registered Securities without the legend required by Section
2.02 and the Trustee agrees to hold such Registered Securities in safekeeping until authenticated
and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

     If established by the Company pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to any Registered Global
Security, the Depositary for such Registered Global Security may surrender such Registered Global
Security in exchange in whole or in part for Registered Securities of the same series and tenor in
definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.
Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without
service charge to the Depositary,

     (a) to the Person specified by such Depositary new Registered Securities of the same
series and tenor, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Person, in an
aggregate Principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest
in the Registered Global Security; and

     (b) to such Depositary a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal to
the difference, if any, between the Principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global
Security and the aggregate Principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and
delivered pursuant to clause (a) above.

     Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Registered Global Security pursuant to this
Section 2.07 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary for such Registered Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or
indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the
Trustee. The Trustee or

17

 

such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

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

     Notwithstanding anything herein or in the forms or terms of any Securities to the contrary, none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such exchange would result in adverse
Federal income tax consequences to the Company (such as, for example, the inability of the Company to deduct from its income,
as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United
States Federal income tax laws. The Trustee and any such agent shall be entitled to rely on an Officers’ Certificate or an
Opinion of Counsel in determining such result.

     The Registrar shall not be required (i) to issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series for a period of 15 days before a selection of such Securities to be redeemed or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security selected for redemption in whole or in part.

     Section 2.08. Replacement Securities. If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such mutilated Security or in exchange for the Security to which a mutilated coupon appertains, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and Principal amount
 and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such mutilated Security or to the Security to which such mutilated coupon appertains.

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and the
Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon and (ii) such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a
destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same
series and of like tenor and Principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the
coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security
 or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.

18

 

     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new
Security, pay such Security or coupon (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated
Security or coupon) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of
them harmless, and in the case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company
and the Trustee and any agent of them of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and the
ownership thereof; provided, however, that the Principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on
Unregistered Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.02, be payable only at an
office or agency located outside the United States of America.

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

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

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

     Section 2.09. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities
that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it
for cancellation, those described in this Section as not outstanding and those that have been
defeased pursuant to Section 10.05.

     If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless and
until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is
held by a holder in due course.

     If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an affiliate of the Company) holds on the
maturity date or any redemption date or date for repurchase of the Securities money sufficient to
pay Securities payable or to be

19

 

redeemed or repurchased on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be
outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

     A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its affiliates holds
such Security, provided, however, that, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite
Principal amount of the outstanding Securities have given any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any affiliate of
the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining
whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities as to which a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has received written notice to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Any Securities so
owned which are pledged by the Company, or by any affiliate of the Company, as security for loans
or other obligations, otherwise than to another such affiliate of the Company, shall be deemed to
be outstanding, if the pledgee is entitled pursuant to the terms of its pledge agreement and is
free to exercise in its or his discretion the right to vote such securities, uncontrolled by the
Company or by any such affiliate.

     Section 2.10. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities of such
series. Temporary Securities of any series shall be substantially in the form of definitive
Securities of such series but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations
determined to be appropriate by the Officers of the Company executing the temporary Securities, as
evidenced by their execution of such temporary Securities. If temporary Securities of any series
are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the temporary
Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series and tenor
upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for
such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like Principal amount of
definitive Securities of such series and tenor and authorized denominations. Until so exchanged,
the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture
as definitive Securities of such series.

     Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may
have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The
Registrar, any transfer agent and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities
surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of in
accordance with its customary procedures all Securities

20

 

surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall deliver a certificate of
disposition to the Company. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has
paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     Section 2.12. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” and
“CINS” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers,
as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders and no
representation shall be made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the
Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange.

     Section 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the
Registered Securities, it shall pay, or shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately
available funds sufficient to pay, the defaulted interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest
payable on the defaulted interest (as may be specified in the terms thereof, established pursuant
to Section 2.03) to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which shall
mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted
interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before such special record
date, the Company shall mail to each Holder of such Registered Securities and to the Trustee a
notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest
to be paid.

     Section 2.14. Series May Include Tranches. A series of Securities may include one or more
tranches (each a “tranche”) of Securities, including Securities issued in a Periodic Offering. The
Securities of different tranches may have one or more different terms, including authentication
dates and public offering prices, but all the Securities within each such tranche shall have
identical terms, including authentication date and public offering price. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture, with respect to Sections 2.02 (other than the fourth, sixth and
seventh paragraphs thereof) through 2.04, 2.07, 2.08, 2.10, 3.01 through 3.05, 4.02, 7.01 through
7.14, 10.01 through 10.07, 11.02 and Section 13.07, if any series of Securities includes more than
one tranche, all provisions of such sections applicable to any series of Securities shall be deemed
equally applicable to each tranche of any series of Securities in the same manner as though
originally designated a series unless otherwise provided with respect to such series or tranche
pursuant to Section 2.03. In particular, and without limiting the scope of the next preceding
sentence, any of the provisions of such sections which provide for or permit action to be taken
with respect to a series of Securities shall also be deemed to provide for and permit such action
to be taken instead only with respect to Securities of one or more tranches within that series (and
such provisions shall be deemed satisfied thereby), even if no comparable action is taken with
respect to Securities in the remaining tranches of that series.

21

 

ARTICLE 3

Redemption

     Section 3.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable
to the Securities of any series that are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.03 for Securities of such series.

     Section 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the Holders
of Registered Securities of any series to be redeemed as a whole or in part at the option of the
Company shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid,
at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders
of Registered Securities of such series at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the
registry books. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Unregistered Securities of any series to be
redeemed as a whole or in part who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall be given by mailing notice of such
redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior
to the date fixed for redemption, to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the
Trustee (and, in the case of any such notice given by the Company, the Trustee shall make such
information available to the Company for such purpose). Any notice which is mailed or published in
the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the
Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.

     The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the Principal amount of each
Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the CUSIP numbers of the Securities to
be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, or if not then ascertainable, the
manner of calculation thereof, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in the case of Securities with coupons attached
thereto, of all coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that
such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the
case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such
notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed
will cease to accrue. In case any Security of a series 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 Security, a new
Security or Securities of such series and tenor in Principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof will be issued.

22

 

     The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the
Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and
at the expense of the Company.

     On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the redemption date or, in the case of
Unregistered Securities, on or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to
the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section, the
Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is
acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.06)
an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of such series so
called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the
date fixed for redemption. If all of the outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to the last date on which notice of
redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.02 (or such
shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all
such Securities are to be redeemed. If less than all the outstanding Securities of a series are to
be redeemed, the Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the last date on
which notice of redemption may be given to Holders pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section
3.02 (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate
stating the aggregate Principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any
redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided
in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant to an election of
the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere
in this Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, prior to the giving of any notice of
redemption to Holders pursuant to this Section, an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with
such restriction or condition.

     If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in
compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which
the Securities are listed, or, if the Securities are not listed on a national securities exchange,
by lot or in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, Securities of such series to be
redeemed in whole or in part. Securities may be redeemed in part in Principal amounts equal to
authorized denominations for Securities of such series. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company in writing of the Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Securities of such series selected for partial redemption, the Principal amount thereof to be
redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all
provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security
redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the Principal amount of such Security
which has been or is to be redeemed.

23

 

     Section 3.03. Payment Of Securities Called For Redemption. If notice of redemption has been
given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice 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
such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption
price, together with interest accrued to such date) interest on the Securities or portions of
Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and the unmatured coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto shall be void and, except as provided in Sections 8.14 and 10.02, such
Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit
under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities
except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for
redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment specified in
said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed
for redemption, said 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 that payment of interest becoming due on or prior to the date fixed
for redemption shall be payable in the case of Securities with coupons attached thereto, to the
Holders of the coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered
Securities, to the Holders of such Registered Securities registered as such on the relevant record
date subject to the terms and provisions of Sections 2.04 and 2.13 hereof.

     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the Principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed
for redemption at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue
Discount Security) borne by such Security.

     If any Security with coupons attached thereto is surrendered for redemption and is not
accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the date fixed for redemption, the surrender
of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee, if there be
furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them
harmless.

     Upon presentation of any Security of any series redeemed in part only, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at
the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of such series and tenor (with any
unmatured coupons attached), of authorized denominations, in Principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

     Section 3.04. Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for Selection for Redemption.
Unless otherwise provided with respect to any series of Securities, Securities shall be excluded
from eligibility for selection for

24

 

redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written
statement signed by an Officer of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 40 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 as directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company.

     Section 3.05. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund
payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory
sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms
of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. The
date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the “sinking fund
payment date”.

     In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any
series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities
of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except through a mandatory sinking fund
payment) by the Company or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so
credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.11, (b) receive credit for optional
sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive
credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company at the
option of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through any optional sinking fund
payment. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the
sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

     On or before the thirtieth day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any series,
or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, the Company will deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate (a) specifying the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment
to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of specified
Securities of such series and the basis for such credit, (b) stating that none of the specified
Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the
payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred (which have not
been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Company intends to
exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series and, if so,
specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Company intends to pay on or
before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Any Securities of such series to be credited
and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Company to be entitled to credit
therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered
for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.11 to the Trustee with such Officers’ Certificate (or
reasonably promptly

25

 

thereafter if acceptable to the Trustee). Such Officers’ Certificate shall be irrevocable and
upon its receipt by the Trustee the Company shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the
cash payments or delivery of Securities therein referred to, if any, on or before the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company, on or before any such thirtieth day,
to deliver such Officer’s Certificate and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not
constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the
Company (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit
Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Company will make no optional
sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

     If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on
the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund
payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request with
respect to the Securities of any series), such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking
fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption
price thereof together with accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption. If such
amount shall be $50,000 (or such lesser sum) or less and the Company makes no such request then it
shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 (or such lesser sum) is available. The
Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 3.02, for redemption on such sinking fund
payment date a sufficient Principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as
nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Company) inform the Company of the
serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. Securities
shall be excluded from eligibility for redemption under this Section if they are identified by
registration and certificate number in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee at least
60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date 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 Officers’ Certificate as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct
or indirect common control with the Company. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the
Company (or the Company, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of
redemption of the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in
Section 3.02 (and with the effect provided in Section 3.03) for the redemption of Securities of
such series in part at the option of the Company. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so
applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash
sinking fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys held on the stated
maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is
accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such
series shall be applied, together with other moneys,

26

 

if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the Principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity.

     On or before 10:00 a.m. New York City time on each sinking fund payment date or, in the case
of Unregistered Securities, 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the sinking
fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash or shall otherwise provide for the
payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on
the next following sinking fund payment date.

     The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking
fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the
sinking fund during the continuance of a Default in payment of interest on such Securities or of
any Event of Default except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall
theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities,
provided that it shall have received from the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except
as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such Default or
Event of Default shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during
the continuance of such Default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article
7 and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been
waived as provided in Section 7.04 or the Default cured on or before the thirtieth day preceding
the sinking fund payment date in any year, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such
Securities.

ARTICLE 4

Covenants

     Section 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall pay the Principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and
this Indenture. The interest on Securities with coupons attached (together with any additional
amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only upon presentation
and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as
they severally mature. The interest on any temporary Unregistered Securities (together with any
additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be paid, as to the
installments of interest evidenced by coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and
surrender thereof, and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of
such Unregistered Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. The interest on
Registered Securities (together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such
Securities) shall be payable only to the Holders thereof (subject to Section 2.04) and at the
option of the Company may be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the
written order of such

27

 

Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the Security Register of the Company.

     Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture and the Securities of any series to the
contrary, if the Company and a Holder of any Registered Security so agree, payments of interest on,
and any portion of the Principal of, such Holder’s Registered Security (other than interest payable
at maturity or on any redemption or repayment date or the final payment of Principal on such
Security) shall be made by the Paying Agent, upon receipt from the Company of immediately available
funds by 11:00 A.M., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed to between the Company
and the Paying Agent), directly to the Holder of such Security (by Federal funds wire transfer or
otherwise) if the Holder has delivered written instructions to the Trustee 15 days prior to such
payment date requesting that such payment will be so made and designating the bank account to which
such payments shall be so made and in the case of payments of Principal, surrenders the same to the
Trustee in exchange for a Security or Securities aggregating the same Principal amount as the
unredeemed Principal amount of the Securities surrendered. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely
on the last instruction delivered by the Holder pursuant to this Section 4.01 unless a new
instruction is delivered 15 days prior to a payment date. The Company will indemnify and hold each
of the Trustee and any Paying Agent harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including
attorneys’ fees) resulting from any act or omission to act on the part of the Company or any such
Holder in connection with any such agreement or from making any payment in accordance with any such
agreement.

     The Company shall pay interest on overdue Principal, and interest on overdue installments of
interest, to the extent lawful, at the rate per annum specified in the Securities.

     Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in the United
States of America, an office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company hereby
initially designates the office of U.S. Bank, National Association, as such office or agency of the
Company. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address
of the Trustee set forth in Section 13.02.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities of any series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may
from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall
in any manner

28

 

relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the United States of
America for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

     Section 4.03. Certificate to Trustee. The Company will furnish to the Trustee annually, on
or before a date not more than 90 days after the end of its fiscal year (which, on the date hereof,
is a calendar year), a brief certificate which certificate shall comply with the requirements of
the Trust Indenture Act (but which need not contain the statements required by Section 13.04) from
its principal executive, financial or accounting officer certifying (a) that a review has been
conducted of the activities of the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Parent Guarantor and their
respective performance under the Indenture and (b) that the Company and the Parent Guarantor have
fulfilled all obligations under the Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to
any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture) or specifying each such
Default and the nature and status thereof.

     Section 4.04. Additional Amounts. If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of
additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first interest payment date with respect to that
series of Securities and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of Principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Securities of that series if there has been a change with respect to the
matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee and the principal paying agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate
instructing the Trustee and such paying agent whether such payment of Principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of the Securities of
that series without withholding or deduction for or on account of any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding or
deduction shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount,
if any, required to be withheld or deducted on such payments to such Holders and shall certify the
fact that additional amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable to each Holder, and the
Company shall pay to the Trustee or such paying agent the additional amounts required to be paid by
this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any paying agent for, and to hold
them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad
faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in

Securities of all series affected thereby specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be
remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

     (d) there occurs with respect to any issue or issues of Indebtedness of the Company, the
Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary having an outstanding principal amount of $25
million or more in the aggregate for all such issues of all such Persons, whether such Indebtedness
now exists or shall hereafter be created, (i) an event of default that has caused the holder
thereof to declare such Indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity and such
Indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been rescinded or
annulled within 30 days of such acceleration and/or (ii) the failure to make a principal payment at
the final (but not any interim) fixed maturity and such defaulted payment shall not have been made,
waived or extended within 30 days of such payment default;

     (e) any final judgment or order (not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in excess
of $25 million in the aggregate for all such final judgments or orders against all such Persons
(treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention as not so covered) shall be rendered against
the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary and shall not be paid or
discharged, and there shall be any period of 60 consecutive days following entry of the final
judgment or order that causes the aggregate amount for all such final judgments or orders
outstanding and not paid or discharged against all such Persons to exceed $25 million during which
a stay of enforcement of such final judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise,
shall not be in effect;

     (f) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for (i) relief
in respect of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary
case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,

official) of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or

33

 

substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any
Significant Subsidiary or (iii) the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company, the
Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary, and, in each case, such decree or order shall

     (g) the Company, the Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary (i) commences a voluntary
case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,
or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (ii)

     (i) any other Event of Default established pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to the
Securities of such series occurs.

     Section 7.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than as described in clauses
Section 7.01(f) or (g) of Section 7.01 that occurs with respect to the Company) with respect to the
Securities of any series then outstanding occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every
such case, except for any series of Securities the Principal of which shall have already become due
and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal amount
of the Securities of such series then outstanding hereunder by notice in writing to the Company
(and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the entire Principal (or, if the
Securities of any such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the Principal
amount as may be specified in the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 2.03) of all
Securities of such series, and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

     (b) In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in
clause Section 7.01(d) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of
acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such
Event of Default pursuant to clause Section 7.01(d) shall be remedied or cured by the Company, the
Parent Guarantor or the relevant Significant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant
Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto.

34

 

     (c) If an Event of Default described in clause Section 7.01(f) or (g) of Section 7.01
occurs and is continuing with respect to the Company, then the Principal amount (or, if any
Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the Principal as may be
specified in the terms thereof established pursuant to Section 2.03) of all the Securities then
outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall be and become immediately due and payable,
without any declaration, notice or other action by any Holder or the Trustee, to the full extent
permitted by applicable law.

     For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the Principal of any Original Issue
Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared or become due and payable pursuant to
the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been
rescinded and annulled, the Principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be
deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the Principal thereof as shall be due and
payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the Principal thereof as
shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon
and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue
Discount Securities.

     Section 7.03. Other Remedies. If a payment default or an Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or
as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect
the payment of Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series or to
enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this Indenture.

     The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding.

     Section 7.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 7.02, 7.07 and 11.02, the Holders
of at least a majority in aggregate Principal amount (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the Principal as is then accelerable under Section 7.02) of the
outstanding Securities of each series affected, by notice to the Trustee,
may waive all past Defaults with respect to the Securities of such series and rescind and annul a
declaration of acceleration and its consequences, if (a) all existing Events of Default, other than
nonpayment of Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security as specified in clauses
Section 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(b) of Section 7.01 that have become due solely by such declaration
of acceleration have been cured or waived and (b) the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereto.

35

 

     Section 7.05. Control by Majority. Subject to Sections 8.01 and 8.02(e), the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate Principal amount (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the Principal as is then accelerable under Section 7.02), of the
outstanding Securities of each series affected, determined in accordance
with Section 9.03, may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series by this Indenture; provided that the Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that may involve the Trustee in
personal liability or that the Trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the
rights of Holders not joining in the giving of such direction; and provided further that the
Trustee may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any directions
received from Holders of Securities pursuant to this Section 7.05.

     Section 7.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series may institute any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series,
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

     (b) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Principal amount of outstanding
Securities of all such series affected shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee
hereunder;

     (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security
reasonably satisfactory to it against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in
compliance with such request;

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

     (e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of all such affected series have not given the
Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such written request.

     A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a
preference or priority over such other Holder.

     Section 7.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Security to receive payment of Principal of, premium,
if any, or interest, if any, on such

36

 

Holder’s Security on or after the respective due dates expressed on such Security, or to bring
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

     Section 7.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of any series in payment of Principal or interest specified in clause (a) or (b) of
Section 7.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount (or such portion thereof as
specified in the terms established pursuant to Section 2.03 of Original Issue Discount Securities)
of Principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid on, together with interest
on overdue Principal of, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on
overdue installments of interest on, the Securities of such series, in each case at the rate or
Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities,
and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all amounts owing the Trustee under Section
8.07.

     Section 7.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim
and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07) and the Holders
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor on the
Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and
receive any moneys, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange
of the Securities or upon any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay
to the Trustee any amount due to it under Section 8.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the
rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder in any such proceeding.

     Section 7.10. Application of Proceeds. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this
Article in respect of the Securities of any series shall be applied in the following order at the
date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of
Principal or interest, upon presentation of the several Securities and coupons appertaining to such
Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected and noting thereon the payment, or

presented Securities of such series and tenor if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if
fully paid:

37

 

     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07 applicable
to the Securities of such series in respect of which moneys have been collected;

     SECOND: In case the Principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which
moneys have been collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the
payment of interest on the Securities of such series in default 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 same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the
persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

     THIRD: In case the Principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which
moneys have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the
payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series
for Principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue Principal, and (to the extent
that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of
interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series; and in
case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid
upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such Principal and interest or
Yield to Maturity, without preference or priority of Principal over interest or Yield to
Maturity, or of interest or Yield to Maturity over Principal, or of any installment of
interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security of such series over
any other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such Principal and accrued
and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and

     FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other person
lawfully entitled thereto.

     Section 7.11. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding
has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee
or to such Holder, then, and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding,
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions hereunder and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Company, Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though
no such proceeding had been instituted.

     Section 7.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as
Trustee, in either case in respect to the Securities

38

 

of any series, a court may require any party litigant in such suit (other than the Trustee) to
file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant (other than the Trustee) in the
suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 7.12 does not apply to a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 7.07, a suit
instituted by the Trustee or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in Principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of such series.

     Section 7.13. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Securities in Section
2.08, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the
extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     Section 7.14. Delay or Omission not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
Every right and remedy given by this Article 7 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 8

Trustee

     Section 8.01. General. The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided
by the Trust Indenture Act and as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of
this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of
its rights or powers, unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability
or expense. 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 Article 8.

     Section 8.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 315(a)
through (d):

     (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any resolution, certificate, Officers’

39

 

Certificate, Opinion of Counsel (or both), statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness
or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper person or persons. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or
matter stated in the document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit;

     (b) before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to Section 13.04 and shall
cover such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such
certificate or opinion. Subject to Sections 8.01 and 8.02, whenever in the administration
of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a
matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering 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, suffered or
omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof;

     (c) the Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents not regularly in its employ
and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney
appointed with due care;

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

     (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders,
unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against any costs, expenses or liabilities that might be incurred by it
in compliance with such request or direction;

     (f) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers or for any action
it takes or omits to take in accordance with the direction of the Holders in accordance
with Section 7.05 relating

40

 

to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Indenture;

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

     (h) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or
waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, Officers’ Certificate,
Opinion of Counsel, Board Resolution, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or
other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Securities of all series affected
then outstanding; provided 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 proceeding.

     Section 8.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or
its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. Any Agent may do the
same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Trust Indenture Act Sections 310(b) and
311. For purposes of Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b)(4) and (6), the following terms shall

previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee
simultaneously with the creation of the creditor

41

 

relationship with the Company arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of
the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.

     Section 8.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities
(except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as statements of the Company
and not of the Trustee and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.
Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents (a) makes any representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities and (b) shall be accountable for the Company’s use or
application of the proceeds from the Securities.

     Section 8.05. Notice of Default. If any Default with respect to the Securities of any series
occurs and is continuing and if such Default is known to the actual knowledge of a Responsible
Officer with the Corporate Trust Department of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Holder
of Securities of such series notice of such Default within 90 days after it occurs to all Holders
of Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the
Trust Indenture Act, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived before the mailing or
publication of such notice; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment
of the Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such
notice is in the interests of the Holders.

     Section 8.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. 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 at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. If required by
Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall, within 60 days after each May 15
following the date of this Indenture, deliver to Holders a brief report, dated as of such May 15,
which complies with the provisions of such Section 313(a).

     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 any Securities are listed, with the Commission and with
the Company. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed on any
stock exchange.

     Section 8.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee such
compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing from time to time for its services. The
compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a Trustee of an
express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon request
for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee or such predecessor Trustee. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and
expenses of the Trustee’s or such predecessor Trustee’s agents, counsel and other persons not
regularly in their employ.

42

 

     The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and hold them
harmless against, any loss or liability or expense incurred by them without negligence or bad faith
on their part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
Indenture and the Securities or the issuance of the Securities or of series thereof or the trusts
hereunder and the performance of duties under this Indenture and the Securities, including the
costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim or liability and of
complying with any process served upon them or any of their officers in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties under this Indenture and the Securities.

     To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its
capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay Principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on particular Securities.

     The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and
each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall
survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the rejection or termination of this
Indenture under bankruptcy law. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of
the 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 Securities or coupons, and the
Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. Without prejudice to any other rights
available to the Trustee under applicable law, if the Trustee renders services and incurs expenses
following an Event of Default under Section 7.01(f) or Section 7.01(g) hereof, the parties hereto
and the holders by their acceptance of the Securities hereby agree that such expenses are intended
to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

     Section 8.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire
any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the
Trustee and the Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 8.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee
with respect to the Securities issued hereunder which shall at all times 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, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as trustee by the
Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal,
State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. 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

43

 

for the purposes of this Section 7.09 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. The Company may not, nor may any Affiliate of the Company, serve as
Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 7.10, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 7.10.

     Section 8.10. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee as Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series and appointment of a successor Trustee as Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.10.

     The Trustee may resign as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series at any time by
so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in Principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor
Trustee with respect thereto with the consent of the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee
as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series if: (i) the Trustee is no longer eligible
under Section 7.13 of this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent; (iii) a
receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee
becomes incapable of acting.

     If the Trustee resigns or is removed as Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series,
or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series for
any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect thereto. Within
one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in Principal amount of
the outstanding Securities of such series may appoint a successor Trustee in respect of such
Securities to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series does not deliver its written acceptance required by
Section 7.11 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee,
the Company or the Holders of a majority in Principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such
series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect thereto.

     The Company shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee in respect of the
Securities of such series to all Holders of Securities of such series. Each notice shall include
the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

44

 

     Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
pursuant to this Section 7.10 and Section 7.11, the Company’s obligations under Section 8.07 shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

     Section 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the
request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its
charges and subject to the lien provided for in Section 8.07, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee
and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held
by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

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

45

 

     Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments
for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights,
powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

     No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be eligible under this Article and qualified under Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 8.12. Successor Trustee By Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another
corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or
national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same
effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein.

     Section 8.13. Eligibility. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition.

     Section 8.14. Money Held in Trust. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money
received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by
the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except
for money held in trust under Article 10 of this Indenture.

     Section 8.15. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. The Trustee shall
comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship
described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed
shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included therein.

ARTICLE 9

Securityholders

     Section 9.01. Evidence of Action by Securityholders. Whenever in this Indenture it is
provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of a particular 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 majority or specified percentage of
that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of
similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of that series in Person or by agent or proxy
appointed in writing.

46

 

     If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company, at its option, as
evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, may fix in advance a record date for such series for the
determination of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such
a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record
at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes
of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of
that series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities
of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such
authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later
than six months after the record date.

     Section 9.02. Proof of Execution by Securityholders. Subject to the provisions of Section
7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require
notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities
shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

     (a) The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved in
any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.

     (b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such Securities or
by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof.

     (c) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as
it shall deem necessary.

     Section 9.03. Certain Securities Owned by Company Disregarded. In determining whether the
holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities of a particular series have
concurred in any direction, consent of waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of that series
that are owned by Parent, the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by
an Affiliate of Parent or the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the
purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities of such
series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The
Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the
purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the
pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not

47

 

an Affiliate. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon
the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the
Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all
Securities of a particular series, if any known by Parent or the Company to be owned or held by or
for the account of any of the above described Persons and, subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02, the
Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts
therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities of such particular series not listed therein
are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

ARTICLE 10

lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08); or (ii) all the
Securities of any series issued that have not been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for

any paying agent to the Company in accordance with Section 10.04) or U.S. Government Obligations,
maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will insure (without
consideration of the reinvestment of such interest) the availability of cash, or a combination
thereof, sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Securities of such series (other than
any Securities of such series which shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have
been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.08) not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, including Principal and interest due or to become due on or prior to such date of

Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction of and
discharging this Indenture with respect to such series; provided that the rights of Holders of the
Securities to receive amounts in respect of Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities held by them shall not be delayed longer than required by then-applicable mandatory
rules or policies of any securities exchange upon which the Securities are listed. The Company
agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly
incurred and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered
by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Securities of such series.

     Section 10.02. Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities. Subject
to Section 10.04, all moneys (including U.S. Government Obligations and the proceeds thereof)

moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for
Principal and interest; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.

     Section 10.03. Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent. In connection with the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series, all moneys then held by
any paying agent under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such series of Securities
shall, upon demand of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee and thereupon such paying
agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

     Section 10.04. Return of Moneys Held by Trustee and Paying Agent Unclaimed for Two Years.
Any moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any paying agent for the payment of the
Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security of any series and not applied but
remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such Principal or interest shall have
become due and payable, shall, upon the written request of the Company and unless otherwise
required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be
repaid to the Company by the Trustee for such series or such paying agent, and the Holder of the
Security of such series shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable
escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property laws, thereafter look only to the Company for any
payment

49

 

which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any paying
agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.

     Section 10.05. Defeasance and Discharge of Indenture. The Company shall be deemed to have
paid and shall be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the Securities of any
series, after the deposit referred to in clause (i) hereof has been made, and the provisions of

benefits of the Holders of the Securities of such series, (A) money in an amount, (B) U.S.
Government Obligations that through the payment of interest and principal in respect

otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this
Article until such time as the Trustee or paying agent is permitted to apply all such monies or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance

52

 

with Article 10; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of Principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment
from the monies or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or paying agent.

     Section 10.08. Indemnity. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 10.08 and Section 10.02, the
“Trustee”) against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 10.01, 10.05 or 10.06 or the principal or interest
received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of the Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.

     Section 10.09. Excess Funds. Anything in this Article 10 to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon request of the Company, any
money or U.S. Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as
provided in Section 10.01, 10.05 or 10.06 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
Independent Public Accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect
a discharge or defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article 10.

     Section 10.10. Qualifying Trustee. Any trustee appointed pursuant to Section 10.05 or 10.06
for the purpose of holding money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to such Sections
shall be appointed under an agreement in form acceptable to the Trustee and shall provide to the
Trustee a certificate, upon which certificate the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely,
that all conditions precedent provided for herein to the related defeasance have been complied
with. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any acts or omissions of said trustee

ARTICLE 11

Amendments, Supplements and Waivers

     Section 11.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture or the Securities of any series without notice to or the consent of any
Holder:

     (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this Indenture; provided that
such amendments or supplements shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in
any material respect;

     (b) to comply with Article 5;

53

 

     (c) to maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

     (d) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder with respect
to the Securities of any or all series by a successor Trustee 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 the
requirements of Section 7.11;

     (e) to provide for the issuance of additional Securities;

     (f) to establish the form or forms or terms of Securities of any series or of the
coupons appertaining to such Securities as permitted by Section 2.03;

     (g) to provide for uncertificated or Unregistered Securities and to make all
appropriate changes for such purpose;

     (h) to make any change that in the good faith opinion of the board of directors of
the Company does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder; or

     (i) to conform any provision to the “Description of Notes” in the offering memorandum
or prospectus for the Securities of such series.

     Section 11.02. With Consent of Holders. Subject to Sections 7.04 and 7.07, without prior
notice to any Holders, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Securities of
any series with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in Principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of each series affected by such amendment, and the Holders of a majority in
Principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each series affected thereby by written notice to
the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the
Securities of such series.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.02, without the consent of each Holder
affected thereby, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 7.04, may not:

     (a) change the stated maturity of the Principal of, or any installment of interest on, such
Holder’s Security,

     (b) reduce the Principal amount of, or the rate of interest on (including any amount in
respect of original issue discount), such Holder’s Security;

     (c) change the place or currency of payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, or any
installment of interest on, such Holder’s Security;

54

 

     (d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the
stated maturity (or in the case of a redemption, on or after the redemption date) of such Holder’s
Security;

     (e) waive a default in the payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such
Holder’s Security;

     (f) modify any of the provisions of this Section 11.02 requiring the consent of a requisite
number of holders, except to increase any percentage requiring consent or to provide that certain
other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder
of each outstanding Securities; and

     (g) release any Person who Guarantees the Securities from its Security Guarantee, except as
provided herein; or

     (h) reduce the percentage or aggregate Principal amount of outstanding Securities of the
relevant series the consent of whose Holders is required for any supplemental indenture or for any
waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain Defaults and their
consequences provided for in this Indenture.

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

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of any Holder under this Section 11.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent approves the substance thereof.

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 11.02 becomes effective, the
Company shall give to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. The Company will mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way
impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

     Section 11.03. Revocation and Effect of Consent. Until an amendment or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent
Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the Security of the
consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of its Security.
Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the
date the amendment, supplement or waiver

55

 

becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective with respect to
any Securities affected thereby on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the requisite
Holders of outstanding Securities affected thereby.

     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date (which may be not less than
five nor more than 60 days prior to the solicitation of consents) for the purpose of determining
the Holders of the Securities of any series affected entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the immediately preceding
paragraph, those Persons who were such Holders at such record date (or their duly designated
proxies) and only those Persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or
waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be such
Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days
after such record date.

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities of
any series affected thereby, it shall bind every Holder of such Securities unless it is of the type
described in any of clauses (a) through (g) of Section 11.02. In case of an amendment or waiver of
the type described in clauses (a) through (g) of Section 11.02, the amendment or waiver shall bind
each such Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security that evidences
the same indebtedness as the Security of the consenting Holder.

     Section 11.04. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver
changes the terms of any Security, the Trustee may require the Holder thereof to deliver it to the
Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and
return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Security of such
series thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the
Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security
of the same series and tenor that reflects the changed terms.

     Section 11.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of
any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 11 is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture, stating that all requisite consents have been obtained or that no
consents are required and stating that such supplemental indenture constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms,
subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such
amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.

56

 

     Section 11.06. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed
pursuant to this Article 11 shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in
effect.

ARTICLE 12

Parent Security Guarantee

     Section 12.01. The Security Guarantee.

Subject to the provisions of this Article, the Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally Guarantees on an unsecured unsubordinated basis, the full and punctual payment
(whether at stated maturity, upon redemption, purchase pursuant to an offer to purchase or
acceleration, or otherwise) of the Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other
amounts payable under, each Security, and the full and punctual payment of all other amounts
payable by the Company under the Indenture. Upon failure by the Company to pay punctually any such
amount, each Guarantor shall forthwith on demand pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the
manner specified in the Indenture.

     Section 12.02. Guarantee Unconditional, Etc. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor
hereunder are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
will not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by

     (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any
obligation of the Company under the Indenture or any Security, by operation of law or otherwise;

     (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Indenture or any Security;

     (c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or its
assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company contained in the
Indenture or any Security;

     (d) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Parent Guarantor may have at
any time against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with the
Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any
such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

     (e) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of
the Indenture or any Security, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to
prohibit the payment by the Company of the Principal

57

 

of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security or any other amount payable by the Company
under the Indenture; or

     (f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any
other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this
paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to such Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder.

     Section 12.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Parent Guarantor’s obligations hereunder will
remain in full force and effect until the Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture have been paid in full.
If at any time any payment of the Principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security or
any other amount payable by the Company under the Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise,
the Parent Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as
though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

     Section 12.04. Waiver by Parent Guarantor. The Parent Guarantor irrevocably waives
acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as
any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company or any other
Person.

     Section 12.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any
obligation of the Company under this Article, the Parent Guarantor making such payment will be
subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such obligation, provided
that the Parent Guarantor may not enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive
payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Person who Guarantees the
Securities, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Company hereunder or
under the Securities remains unpaid.

     Section 12.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount
payable by the Company under the Indenture or the Securities is stayed upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration
under the terms of the Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Parent Guarantor hereunder
forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders.

     Section 12.07. Execution And Delivery Of Parent Guarantee. The execution by the Parent
Guarantor of the Indenture evidences the Security Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor, whether or not
the person signing as an Officer of the Parent Guarantor still holds that office at the time of
authentication of any Security. The delivery of any Security by the Trustee after authentication

58

 

constitutes due delivery of the Security Guarantee set forth in the Indenture on behalf of the
Parent Guarantor.

ARTICLE 13

Miscellaneous

     Section 13.01. Trust Indenture Act of 1939. This Indenture shall incorporate and be governed
by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of and to govern
indentures qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. If and to the extent that any provision of

     Section 13.02. Notices. Any notice or communication shall be sufficiently given if written
and (a) if delivered in person when received or (b) if mailed by first class mail 5 days after

Securities by mailing to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act at such addresses as were so
furnished to the Trustee and to Holders of Registered Securities by mailing to such Holders at
their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. Notice mailed shall be sufficiently
given if so mailed within the time prescribed. Copies of any such communication or notice to a
Holder shall also be mailed to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

     Failure to mail a notice or communication to a Holder or any defect in it shall not affect its
sufficiency with respect to other Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, if a
notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided in this Section 13.02, it is duly given,
whether or not the addressee receives it.

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

     In case it shall be impracticable to give notice as herein contemplated, then such
notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient
notification for every purpose hereunder.

     Section 13.03. Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent. Upon any request or
application by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Company
shall furnish to the Trustee:

     (a) an Officers’ Certificate stating that, in the opinion of the signers, all
conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
action have been complied with; and

     (b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such
conditions precedent have been complied with.

     Section 13.04. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each certificate or opinion
with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture (other than
the certificate required by Section 4.03) shall include:

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

60

 

     (b) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation
upon which the statement or opinion contained in such certificate or opinion is based;

     (c) a statement that, in the opinion of each such person, he has made such
examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an informed opinion
as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

     (d) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of each such person, such
condition or covenant has been complied with; provided, however, that, with respect to
matters of fact, an Opinion of Counsel may rely on an Officers’ Certificate or
certificates of public officials.

     Section 13.05. Evidence of Ownership. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may deem and treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any
coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or coupon (whether or not such
Unregistered Security or coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or
on account thereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any agent
of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The fact of the
holding by any Holder of an Unregistered Security, and the identifying number of such Security and
the date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a
certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer wherever
situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be
satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a
Security bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust
company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any
such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Unregistered Securities specified therein.
The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Unregistered Securities specified
therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate
unless at the time of any determination of such holding (1) another certificate bearing a later
date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced or (2) the Security specified in
such certificate shall be produced by some other Person, or (3) the Security specified in such
certificate shall have ceased to be outstanding. Subject to Article 8, the fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities held by the Person so
executing such instrument may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in any other manner which the Trustee may deem
sufficient.

     The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the
person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the Security Register for
such series as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered
Security shall be overdue and

61

 

notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of
receiving payment of or on account of the Principal of, premium, if any, and, subject to the
provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes; and
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.

     Section 13.06. Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent or Registrar. The Trustee may make reasonable
rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders. The Paying Agent or Registrar may make reasonable
rules for its functions.

     Section 13.07. Payment Date Other Than a Business Day. Except as otherwise provided with
respect to a series of Securities, if any date for payment of Principal or interest on any Security
shall not be a Business Day at any place of payment, then payment of Principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on such Security, as the case may be, need not be made on such date, but may be made on
the next succeeding Business Day at any place of payment with the same force and effect as if made
on such date and no interest shall accrue in respect of such payment for the period from and after
such date.

     Section 13.08. Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this Indenture
and the Securities.

     Section 13.09. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not be used
to interpret another indenture or loan or debt agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company. Any such indenture or agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture.

     Section 13.10. Successors. All agreements of the Company and the Parent Guarantor in this
Indenture and the Securities shall bind their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee
in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

     Section 13.11. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this
Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same
agreement.

     Section 13.12. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     Section 13.13. Table of Contents, Headings, Etc. The Table of Contents and headings of the
Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are
not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms and
provisions hereof.

62

 

     Section 13.14. Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of Company Exempt from
Individual Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in
this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, or in any Security or any coupons appertaining
thereto, or because of any Indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator,
as such or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer, director, employee or
controlling person, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the
Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the
enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities and the coupons
appertaining thereto by the holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities and the coupons appertaining thereto.

     Section 13.15. Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the Principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a
judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at
which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New
York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final unappealable
judgment is entered, unless such day is not a Business Day, then, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with
the Judgment Currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is
entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i)
shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment
(whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required
Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by
the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such
payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose
of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall
short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be
affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture.

     Section 13.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE IRREVOCABLY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

63

 

     Section 13.17. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any
failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work
stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use
reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume
performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

GREEN DOT CORPORATION

EIGHTH AMENDED AND RESTATED REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

     This Eighth Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered
into as of March 31, 2010 by and among Green Dot Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”) and the holders of the Company’s Preferred Stock listed on Schedule 1 hereto.

     A. The Company and the holders of its Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock,
Series C Preferred Stock, Series C-l Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock have previously
entered into that certain Seventh Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated as of
November 12, 2009, as amended (the “Prior Agreement”).

     B. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company is amending its
certificate of incorporation to (i) implement a dual class Common Stock structure, which results in
the Company having two classes of Common Stock, and (ii) effect the reclassification of each
outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock into one share of Class B Common Stock.

     C. The Company and the holders of not less than 67% of the Registrable Shares (as such term is
defined in the Prior Agreement) currently outstanding wish to amend the Prior Agreement to reflect
the dual class Common Stock structure described above and to exclude from the application of
Section 2.1 of this Agreement and the Prior Agreement the Company’s currently proposed registered
public offering of Class A Common Stock involving an underwriting (the “Offering”) pursuant to a
registration statement Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-165081) (the “Registration Statement”) filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2010.

     D. Section 5 of the Prior Agreement provides that the Prior Agreement may be amended as
contemplated hereby with the written consent of (i) the Company and (ii) the holders of not less
than 67% of the Registrable Shares (as such term is defined in the Prior Agreement) outstanding.
Accordingly, this Agreement amends and restates the Prior Agreement in its entirety, and is binding
upon the Company and each Holder, notwithstanding the failure of any Holder to execute this
Agreement.

     2. Registration Rights.

          2.1 Piggy Back Registration.

               (a) If at any time the Company shall determine to register under the Securities Act (including
pursuant to a demand of any stockholder of the Company exercising registration rights) any of its
Class A Common Stock (including pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 below, but excluding registrations
relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company employee benefits plan, a
registration on Form S-4 or any successor form or a registration in which the only capital stock of
the Company being registered is Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities
which are also being registered), it shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination
and, if within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, such Holder shall so request in
writing, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such registration statement all or
any part of the Registrable Shares that such Holder requests to be registered.

               (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in connection with any offering involving an
underwriting of securities to be issued by the Company, the managing underwriter shall impose a
limitation on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock included in any such registration
statement because, in such underwriter’s judgment, such limitation is necessary based on market
conditions, then the Company may exclude Registrable Shares from such registration to the extent so
advised by the underwriters provided, however, that (i) in the event of any such exclusion,
the shares which are included in such registration shall be apportioned pro rata among the selling
stockholders according to their Ownership Percentage (or in such other proportions as shall
mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders); (ii) the number of Registrable Shares included
in such registration shall not be reduced to less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total value
of securities to be sold in such offering except in the case of the Company’s initial Public
Offering, in which case all securities (including Registrable Shares) other than those being sold
by the Company may be excluded from such registration; (iii) no securities being offered by the
Company for its own account shall be excluded from a registration except as set forth in the
following subsection (c) with respect to a registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 below. In
addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, no stockholder of the Company otherwise entitled to
registration shall be entitled to include their shares in a registration pursuant to this Section
2.1 if such inclusion would reduce the number of shares includable by any Holder in such
registration without the consent of the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities.

               (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Registrable Shares held by
an Initiating Holder (as defined below) shall be excluded from a registration effected pursuant to
Section 2.2 below. If the managing underwriter shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of
Class A Common Stock to be included in any such registration because, in such underwriter’s
judgment, such limitation is necessary based on market conditions, then the Company shall exclude
from such registration (i) first, Registrable Shares held by Holders other than the Initiating
Holders (as defined below), on a pro rata basis according to their respective Ownership Percentage,
and (ii) second, securities to be sold by the Company for its own account.

               (d) If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting referred to in this section, he
may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. No incidental
right under this Section 2.1 shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section
2.2.

               (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in the Prior Agreement, in
connection with the Offering, and as an inducement for the Company and the

2

 

representatives of the investment banks that are underwriting the Offering (the
“Underwriters”) to continue their efforts in connection with the Offering, the undersigned holders
of Registrable Shares (on behalf of all holders of Registrable Shares under this Agreement or the
Prior Agreement) hereby waive any registration rights related to the Registrable Shares and the
Registration Statement, pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement and the Prior Agreement, and
acknowledge that the Company is not required to include any Registrable Shares in such Offering.
The undersigned holders of Registrable Shares understand and acknowledge that the shares of Class A
Common Stock offered for sale under the Registration Statement may, at the discretion of the
Company and the Underwriters, include shares being resold by certain holders of the Company’s
securities, and that upon the execution of this Agreement by the Company and the holders of not
less than 67% of the Registrable Shares (as such term is defined in the Prior Agreement) currently
outstanding, the undersigned holders of Registrable Shares and some or all other holders of
Registrable Shares may be excluded from the Registration Statement.

          2.2 Required Registration.

               (a) Not earlier than the earlier of either (i) 180 days after the completion by the Company of
a Qualified Initial Public Offering or (ii) December 19, 2011, one or more Holders (the “Initiating
Holders”) of at least 50% of the Registrable Shares then outstanding may require the Company to
register such Initiating Holders’ Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, provided that such
registration covers an offering with an aggregate offering price of at least $5,000,000. Such
Initiating Holder(s) shall notify the Company in writing (the “Demand Notice”) that it or they
intend to offer or cause to be offered for public sale all or any portion of the Registrable
Shares, and within ten (10) days of the receipt of such Demand Notice, the Company will so notify
all other Holders as set forth in Section 2.1 above. The Company shall, within 45 days after
delivery by the Company of such written notices, prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”), a registration statement for the purpose of effecting a registration under
the Securities Act of all Registrable Shares that the Initiating Holders have requested to be
registered. The Company shall use best efforts to cause such registration statement to be effective
under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but in any event within 120 days after its receipt
of the Demand Notice.

               (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 to the contrary, if
the Company furnishes to the Holders requesting any registration pursuant to such sections a
certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the
Board of Directors of the Company, such registration would be detrimental to the Company and that
it is in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of a registration statement, then
the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of a registration statement with respect to
such offering for a period of not more than ninety (90) days from receipt by the Company of the
Demand Notice; provided, however, that the Company may not exercise such right more than once in
any twelve-month period; and provided that the Company shall not register any securities during
such ninety (90) day period (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or
with respect to an employee benefit plan).

               (c) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Shares covered by their
request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as part of their request and
the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to above.

               (d) The underwriter shall be selected by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. In such event, the right of any Holder to include
his or her Registrable Shares in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s
participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Shares in the
underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities
through

3

 

such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriters selected for such underwriting.

               (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in
writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten,
then the Initiating Holders shall so advise the Company and the Company shall advise all Holders of
Registrable Shares which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares
of Registrable Shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced as set forth in
Section 2.1(c) above.

               (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take
any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 2.2: (i) if, within thirty (30)
days following the Company’s receipt of the Demand Notice, the Company provides the Initiating
Holders with written notice of its intent to file a registration statement for an initial Public
Offering within sixty (60) days; (ii) during the period starting with the date of filing of, and
ending one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a Qualified Initial Public
Offering (provided that the Company shall make reasonable good faith efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective once it has been filed), (iii) if the Initiating Holders
propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Shares that may be immediately registered on Form S-3
pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.3 below or (iv) if the Company has effected two
registrations and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective.

               (g) If all of the Initiating Holders withdraw from any proposed offering, the Demand Notice
shall not count as a demand under this Section 2.2 if: (i) the Initiating Holders pay their pro
rata share (based on the number of securities initially proposed to be included in such
registration statement) of the expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such
registration statement; or (ii) the withdrawal occurs promptly after the Initiating Holders receive
notice of the occurrence of one or more events regarding the Company, which event or events may
have a material adverse affect upon the business or prospects of the Company, and such Holders
learn of such event or events after, the date of the notice of Demand Notice.

          2.3 Registration on Form S-3. In case the Company shall receive from one or more Holder or
Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Shares then outstanding a written
request or requests (each, an “S-3 Request”) that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or
any similar form promulgated by the SEC) and any related qualification or compliance with respect
to all or a part of the Registrable Shares owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

               (a) within ten (10) days of the Company’s receipt of the S-3 Request give written notice of
the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

               (b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and
compliance as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of
all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Shares as are specified in such
request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Shares of any other Holder or Holders
joining in such request pursuant to Section 2.1, and shall use its best efforts to cause such
registration to be effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, and in any event
within 120 days after receipt of the S-3 Request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section
2.3: (i) if Form S-3 (or similar or successor form) is not available for such offering by the
Holders requesting such registration; (ii) if the

4

 

Company shall furnish to the Holders requesting such registration a certificate signed by the
President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3
Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer
the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than ninety (90) days
after its receipt of the S-3 Request; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this
right more than once in any twelve (12) month period and the Company shall not register any
securities during such ninety (90) day period (other than a registration of securities in a Rule
145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan); (iii) if such Form S-3 Registration
covers an offering of Registrable Shares of less than $1,000,000, net of underwriting discounts and
commissions, (iv) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of
such request, already effected two registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders; or (v) in any
particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to
execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or
compliance.

               (c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the
Registrable Shares and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after
receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. A registration effected pursuant to this Section
2.3 shall not be counted as a demand for registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2.

          2.4 Effectiveness.

               (a) The Company will use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness for up to one hundred
eighty (180) days of any registration statement pursuant to which any of the Registrable Shares are
being offered; provided, however, that: (i) such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be
extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities
included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of any securities of the Company and
(ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Shares on Form S-3 which are intended to be
offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be
extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier to occur of
(A) twelve (12) months following the effectiveness of the registration statement, or (B) the date
that all such Registrable Shares are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the
Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis.

               (b) The Company will from time to time amend or supplement such registration statement and the
prospectus contained therein as and to the extent necessary to comply with the Securities Act and
any applicable state securities statute or regulation.

          2.5 Indemnification.

               (a) Indemnification of Holders. In the event that the Company registers any of the
Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each
Holder of the Registrable Shares so registered, each of such Holder’s Affiliates (including without
limitation each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act), and each of such Holders’ and such Affiliates’ respective officers, directors,
employees, partners, agents and members, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
expenses or liabilities (or any action in respect thereof), joint or several, to which they or any
of them become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), a state securities law or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or any state securities law (collectively, “Applicable Securities Laws”), and,
except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse each such Holder, each such Affiliate and each such
officer, director, employee, partner, agent or member, if

5

 

any, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them or any of them, as such
expenses are incurred, in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any actions whether
or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities
or actions arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the registration statement, in any preliminary or amended preliminary
prospectus or in the prospectus (or the registration statement or prospectus as from time to time
amended or supplemented by the Company); (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein
not misleading; or (iii) any violation by the Company of Applicable Securities Laws in connection
with such registration; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 2.5(a) will
not apply where such untrue statement or omission was made in such registration statement,
preliminary or amended, preliminary prospectus or prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity
with information furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such Holder of
Registrable Shares or any such controlling person expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company will not be required to indemnify any of the foregoing persons from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or any action in respect
thereof) if such untrue statement or omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary
or amended, preliminary prospectus or prospectus and was corrected in a subsequent prospectus that
was required by law to be delivered to the person making the claim with respect to which
indemnification is sought hereunder, and such subsequent prospectus was made available by the
Company to permit delivery of such prospectus in a timely manner by the Holder to the proposed
purchaser, and such subsequent prospectus was so delivered to the Holder making the claim for
indemnification and such Holder failed to deliver such corrected prospectus. Promptly after receipt
by any Holder of Registrable Shares or any controlling person of notice of the commencement of any
action in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, such Holder of Registrable
Shares, or such controlling person, as the case may be, will notify the Company in writing of the
commencement thereof, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, the Company shall assume
the defense of such action (including the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Holder of Registrable Shares, or such controlling person, as the case may be),
and the payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to any alleged liability in respect
of which indemnity may be sought against the Company. Such Holder of Registrable Shares or any such
controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to
participate in the defense thereof in the event the representation of such Holder or controlling
person by counsel retained by or on the behalf of the Company would be inappropriate due to
conflicts of interest between any such person and any other party represented by such counsel in
such proceeding or action, in which case the Company shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses
of such separate counsel. The Company shall not be liable to indemnify any person under this
Section 2.5(a) for any settlement of any such action effected without the Company’s consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company shall not, except with the approval of
each party being indemnified under this Section 2.5(a) (which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
 settlement that does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the parties being so
indemnified of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

               (b) Indemnification of Company. In the event that the Company registers any of the
Registrable Shares under the Securities Act, each Holder of the Registrable Shares so registered
will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have
signed the registration statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages,
expenses or liabilities (or any action in respect thereof), to which they or any of them may become
subject under Applicable Securities Laws, and, except as hereinafter provided, will reimburse the

6

 

Company and each such director, officer or controlling person for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them or any of them, as such expenses are incurred, in connection with
investigating or defending any actions whether or not resulting in any liability, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, expenses, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement,
in any preliminary or amended preliminary prospectus or in the prospectus (or the registration
statement or prospectus as from time to time amended or supplemented) or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, but only insofar as
any such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company in connection therewith by such Holder, expressly for use
therein; provided, however, that such Holder’s obligations hereunder shall be limited to an amount
equal to the net proceeds to such Holder of the Registrable Shares sold in such registration.
Promptly after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity
may be sought against such Holder of Registrable Shares, the Company will notify such Holder of
Registrable Shares in writing of the commencement thereof, and such Holder of Registrable Shares
shall, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, assume the defense of such action (including
the employment of counsel, who shall be counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and the
payment of expenses insofar as such action shall relate to the alleged liability in respect of
which indemnity may be sought against such Holder of Registrable Shares. The Company and each such
director, officer or controlling person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such
action and to participate in the defense thereof in the event the representation of the Company,
any of its officers or directors or controlling person by counsel retained by or on the behalf of
such Holder would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest between any such person and any
other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding or action, in which case such Holder
shall pay, as incurred, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel. Notwithstanding the two
preceding sentences, if the action is one in which the Company may be obligated to indemnify any
Holder of Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 2.5(a), the Company shall have the right to assume
the defense of such action, subject to the right of such Holders to participate therein as
permitted by Section 2.5(a). Such Holder shall not be liable to indemnify any person for any
settlement of any such action effected without such Holder’s consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld). Such Holder shall not, except with the approval of the Company (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or
plaintiff to the party being so indemnified of a release from all liability in respect to such
claim or litigation.

          2.6 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 2.5 is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of
indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one
hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that
resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access
to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, provided,
however, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from
the offering received by such Holder.

7

 

          2.7 Exchange Act Registration. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may
at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or
pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

               (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in
SEC Rule 144, at all times after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first
registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general
public;

               (b) take such reasonable action, including the voluntary registration of its Class A Common
Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form
S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Shares;

               (c) file on a timely basis with the SEC all information that the SEC may require under either
of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, so long as it is required to file such
information, take all action that may be required as a condition to the availability of Rule 144
under the Securities Act (or any successor exemptive rule hereinafter in effect) with respect to
the Company’s Class A Common Stock; and

               (d) furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to
its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual
or quarterly report of the Company as filed with the SEC, and (iii) any other reports and documents
that a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC
allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Shares without registration.

          2.8 Further Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company is required hereunder to
register Registrable Shares, it agrees that it shall also do the following:

               (a) Furnish to each selling Holder such copies of each preliminary and final prospectus and
any other documents that such Holder may reasonably request to facilitate the public offering of
its Registrable Shares;

               (b) Use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Shares to be registered
pursuant to this Agreement under the applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions
as any selling Holder may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to
take any action that would subject it to the service of process in suits other than those arising
out of the offer or sale of the securities covered by the registration statement in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

               (c) Notify each Holder of Registrable Shares covered by such registration statement at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the
happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement,
as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in
the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company will use reasonable efforts to amend or
supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

8

 

               (d) Cause all such Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each
securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

               (e) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Shares registered pursuant
hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Shares, in each case not later than the
effective date of such registration;

               (f) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations
under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its
obligations under such an agreement;

               (g) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Shares
pursuant to this Section 2, on the date that such Registrable Shares are delivered to the
underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2, if such
securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through
underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes
effective:

                    (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of
such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten
public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration
of Registrable Shares; and

                    (ii) “comfort” letters signed by the Company’s independent public accountants who have
examined and reported on the Company’s financial statements included in the registration statement,
to the extent permitted by the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
covering substantially the same matters with respect to the registration statement (and the
prospectus included therein) and with respect to events subsequent to the date of the financial
statements, as are customarily covered in accountants’ “comfort” letters delivered to the
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities, but only if and to the extent that the
Company is required to deliver or cause the delivery of such “comfort” letters to the underwriters
in an underwritten public offering of securities;

               (h) Permit each selling Holder or his or her counsel or other representatives to inspect and
copy such corporate documents and records as may reasonably be requested by them; and

               (i) Furnish to each selling Holder, upon request, a copy of all documents filed and all
correspondence from or to the SEC in connection with any such offering unless confidential
treatment of such information has been requested of the SEC.

          2.9 Expenses. In the case of a registration under Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 the Company shall
bear all costs and expenses of each such registration, including, but not limited to, printing,
legal and accounting expenses, SEC filing fees and “blue sky” fees and expenses; provided, however,
that the Company shall have no obligation to pay or otherwise bear (i) any portion of the fees or
disbursements of more than one counsel for the Holders in connection with the registration of their
Registrable Shares, which in no event shall exceed a reasonable fee, (ii) any portion of the
underwriter’s commissions or discounts attributable to the Registrable Shares being offered and
sold by the Holders of Registrable Shares, or (iii) any of such expenses if the payment of such
expenses by the Company is prohibited by the laws of a state in which such offering is qualified
and only to the extent so prohibited.

          2.10 Transfer of Registration Rights. The registration rights of a Holder of Registrable
Shares under this Agreement may be transferred as set forth below, provided in each case that (i)
immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of the Registrable Shares
so transferred or assigned is restricted under the Securities Act; (ii) the transferee or assignee
agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) the Company is given written
notice prior to such transfer; and (iv) the transfer or assignment is to: (A) any partner or
affiliate of a Holder (it being understood that any investment partnership for which David W. Hanna
has the power to direct investment decisions constitutes an affiliate of the David William Hanna
Trust dated October 30, 1989); (B) in the case of an individual, any member of the immediate family
of such individual or to any trust for the benefit of the individual or any such family member or
members; or (C) any other transferee which receives at least two percent (2%) of the Registrable
Securities outstanding on the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the registration rights
of a Holder under this Agreement may not be transferred to an entity, or a person controlled by,
under common control with or controlling such entity, which is a direct competitor of the Company.
Notwithstanding clause (iv) above, the holder of the PayPal Warrant shall have the right to assign
or transfer its registration rights under this Agreement to any party to whom the PayPal Warrant or
the shares acquired upon exercise of the PayPal Warrant are transferred provided such transferee or
assignee is a party to whom the PayPal Warrant could be transferred in an Exempt Warrant Transfer
(as defined in the PayPal Warrant).

          2.11 No Superior Rights; Most Favored Nations. The Company will not, without first obtaining
the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares, grant (i) any
“piggy back” registration rights to any person or entity which would reduce the number of shares
includable by the Holders pursuant to Section 2.1; or (ii) any registration rights to any person or
entity that are otherwise superior to the rights granted hereunder. In the event that the Company
grants rights superior to the rights granted hereunder after obtaining such written consent (or
waiver thereof pursuant to Section 5 below), any superior rights granted to other persons or
entities shall apply to the Holders and shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may grant pari passu registration rights to the rights
granted hereunder without any such consent.

          2.12 Market Stand-Off Agreement. Provided that all Holders are treated equally and that
holders of at least 1% of the outstanding securities of the Company and all officers and directors
of the Company are also so bound, no Holder shall, to the extent requested by any managing
underwriter of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who
agree to be similarly bound) any Registrable Shares during a period (the “Stand-Off Period”) equal
to 180 days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company’s initial
Public Offering filed under the Securities Act (or such shorter period as the Company or managing
underwriter may authorize, so long as the applicable Stand-Off Period for all Holders is the same)
(or such longer period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate
regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii)
analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in
NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto),
and except for securities sold as part of the offering covered by such registration statement in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that if any officer, director, or
holder of 1% of the outstanding securities of the Company (the “Specified Shareholders”) is
released by such underwriter from its lockup obligations as referenced hereunder, then all Holders
shall be so released on a pro rata basis (with the percentage of each Holder’s Registrable
Securities so released being equal to the percentage of shares so released for the Specified
Shareholder having the highest percentage of released shares among all of the Specified
Shareholders). In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stock transfer
restrictions with respect to the Registrable Shares of each Holder until the end of the Stand-Off
Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations

10

 

described in this Section 2.12 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee
benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a
registration relating solely to an acquisition of another person’s business, Form S-4 or similar
forms which may be promulgated in the future.

          2.13 Termination of Registration Rights. The obligations of the Company to register any
Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2 shall terminate five (5) years after the
Company’s Qualified Initial Public Offering, and the obligations of the Company to register any
Holder’s Registrable Shares pursuant to this Section 2 shall be suspended at all such times as all
of the Registrable Shares of such Holder may be sold within a three month period without limitation
under SEC Rule 144.

     3. Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
respective heirs, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

     4. Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of California; provided, however, that if any California law or laws require or permit the
application of the laws of any other jurisdiction to this Agreement, such California law or laws
shall be disregarded with the effect that the remaining laws of the State of California shall
nonetheless apply.

     5. Amendment. Any provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, changes in or
additions to this Agreement may be made, and compliance with any covenant or provision herein set
forth may be omitted or waived, either retroactively or prospectively, with the written consent of
(i) the Company, and (ii) the Holders of not less than 67% of the Registrable Shares then
outstanding, which shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. The Company shall, in each
such case, deliver copies of such consents in writing to any Holder who did not execute the same.

     6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

     7. Notice. Any notices and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement
shall be effective if in writing and delivered personally or sent by telecopier, Federal Express or
other generally recognized overnight carrier or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid,
addressed as follows:

address by giving notice as aforesaid to each of the other parties hereto.

     8. Severability. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable, it shall, to the extent practicable, be modified so as to make it valid, legal and
enforceable and to retain as nearly as practicable the intent of the parties; and the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

     9. Survival. The obligations of the Company and the Holders under Section 2.5 and Section 2.6
of this Agreement shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Shares in a registration
statement and the termination of this Agreement.
