of a specified event or at the option of a Holder thereof.

          Section 2.11. Limitation on Liens.

          (a) So long as any 2021 Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not issue, assume,
guarantee or permit to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money secured by a Lien on any shares of
capital stock or other equity interests of any Majority-Owned Subsidiary, which shares of capital
stock or other equity interests the Company now or hereafter directly owns, without effectively
securing the 2021 Notes equally and ratably with (or prior to) that indebtedness. The foregoing
limitation does not limit the following Liens and indebtedness:

          (i) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests of an entity existing
at the time that such entity becomes a Majority-Owned Subsidiary;

          (ii) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests created at the time
the Company acquires those shares of capital stock or other equity interests, or within 270
days after that time, to secure all or a portion of the purchase price for those shares of
capital stock or other equity interests;

          (iii) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests in favor of the
United States (or any State or territory thereof), any foreign country or any department,
agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of those jurisdictions, to secure payment
pursuant to any contract or statute;

          (iv) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests arising in
connection with court proceedings; provided that either: (1) the execution or enforcement of
that Lien is effectively stayed within 30 days after entry of the corresponding judgment (or
the corresponding judgment has been discharged within that 30 day period) and the claims
secured by that Lien are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (2) the
payment of that Lien is covered in full by insurance and the insurance provider has not
denied or contested coverage; or (3) so long as that Lien is adequately bonded, any
appropriate legal proceedings that have been duly initiated for the review of the
corresponding judgment, decree or order have not been fully terminated or the periods within
which those proceedings may be initiated have not expired;

          (v) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests in favor of the
Company;

          (vi) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests of any special
purpose subsidiary formed for the sole and exclusive purpose of the acquisition,
development, ownership or operation of an asset with indebtedness as to which there is no
recourse to the Company or any of its affiliates other than such subsidiary;

5

 

          (vii) any Lien on shares of capital stock or other equity interests of any special
purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary formed for the sole and exclusive purpose of engaging
in activities in connection with the purchase, sale and financing of accounts receivable,
payment intangibles, accounts or notes receivable and related rights and property in
connection with and pursuant to a Permitted Securitization; and

          (viii) the replacement, extension or renewal of any Lien referred to above, provided
that: (1) the principal amount of indebtedness secured by those Liens immediately after the
replacement, extension or renewal may not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness
secured by those Liens immediately before the replacement, extension or renewal; and (2) the
replacement, extension or renewal Lien is limited to no more than the same proportion of the
 shares of capital stock or other equity interests as were covered by the Lien that was
replaced, extended or renewed.

          (b) The provisions of this Section 2.11 shall be an “additional covenant” for purposes of
Section 5.04 of the Indenture and subject to covenant defeasance in accordance with Section 5.04 of
the Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 5.04(g) (such that following a covenant
defeasance with respect to the 2021 Notes, payment on the 2021 Notes may not be accelerated because
of a default under or other reference to this Section 2.11).

ARTICLE THREE

Optional Redemption of the 2021 Notes

          Section 3.01. Redemption Price. Prior to March 1, 2021, the Company shall have the right to

plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the
redemption date.

          On or after March 1, 2021, the Company shall have the right to redeem the 2021 Notes, at its

the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on the 2021 Notes that are due and

          This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company (herein called the
“Notes”), issued under an Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2004, as supplemented by the Fourth

of New York
Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (successor to BNY Midwest Trust Company), as
Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the
Indenture). Reference is made to the Indenture and any supplemental indenture thereto for the
provisions relating, among other things, to the respective rights of the Company, the Trustee and
the Holders of the Notes, and the terms on which the Notes are authenticated and delivered. This
Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal
amount to $350,000,000; provided, however, that the authorized aggregate principal amount of the
Notes may be increased above such amount by a Board Resolution authorizing such increase.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, the Company shall not issue additional
Notes after May 19, 2011 unless the Holders of the outstanding Notes will be subject to federal
income tax in the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such additional Notes were not issued.

          Prior to March 1, 2021, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Notes of this series,
at its option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to

discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 25 basis points; plus, in each case, accrued and
unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to the redemption date.

          On or after March 1, 2021, the Company shall have the right to redeem the 2021 Notes, at its
option, at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

          For purposes of determining the redemption price:

          “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed
that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial
practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Notes.

          “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of
four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and
lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than
four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations, or (3) if only
one such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

          “Quotation Agent” means a Reference Treasury Dealer appointed by the Company.

A-2

 

          “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (1) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (or their affiliates), and their respective
successors, unless either of them ceases to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in
the United States of America (“Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company will substitute
therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer and (2) two other Primary Treasury Dealers selected by the
Company.

          “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked
prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal

reliance on such waiver. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure
to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect
the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders, and any notice which is mailed in the
manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. In any case where
notice to Holders is given by publication, any defect in any notice so published as to any
particular Holder shall not affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders,

expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the consideration for, the
execution of this Indenture and the issue of Debt Securities; provided, however, that nothing

time and set forth in the Debt Securities of the series issued from time to time);

provided in or established pursuant to the authority granted in or pursuant to a Board Resolution
or in any such indenture supplemental hereto, and except as may otherwise be provided in or
pursuant to such Board Resolution and (subject to Section 3.3) set forth in such Officers’
Certificate, or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

     If any of the terms of a series of Debt Securities is established in or pursuant to a Board
Resolution, a copy of such Board Resolution shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’
Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

Section 3.2. Denominations.

     In the absence of any specification pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series, the Debt Securities of such series shall be issuable only as Debt
Securities in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof
and shall be payable only in Dollars.

Section 3.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     The Debt Securities of any series shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman
of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, its Chief Operating
Officer, its President, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer. The signature of any of these
officers may be manual or facsimile.

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

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Debt Securities of any series, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Debt
Securities and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Debt Securities. If all the Debt Securities of any one series are not to be issued at one time and
if a Board Resolution or the Officers’ Certificate or other document pursuant to a Board Resolution
or supplemental indenture relating to such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth
procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Debt Securities and for the
determination of the terms thereof, such as interest rate, Stated Maturity, date of issuance and
date from which interest, if any, shall accrue.

     The Trustee shall receive, prior to the authentication and delivery of the Debt Securities of
such series, (i) the supplemental indenture or the Board Resolution by or pursuant to which the
form and terms of such Debt Securities have been approved and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel
substantially to the effect that:

19

 

     (1) the Company Order furnished by the Company to the Trustee in connection
with the authentication and delivery of such Debt Securities conforms to the
requirements of this Indenture and constitutes sufficient authority hereunder for
the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities;

     (2) the forms and terms (or, if applicable, the manner of determining the
terms) of such Debt Securities are consistent with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (3) in the event that the forms or terms of such Debt Securities have been
established in a supplemental indenture, the execution and delivery of such
supplemental indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of
the Company, such supplemental indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the
Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, is a
valid and binding obligation enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles
of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or
at law) and subject to such other exceptions as counsel shall conclude do not
materially affect the rights of the Holders of such Debt Securities;

     (4) the execution and delivery of such Debt Securities have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and such Debt Securities
(if to be issued at the time of delivery of such Company Order) have been duly
executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authentication by the
Trustee and execution and delivery by the Company (if to be issued after delivery of
such Company Order in accordance with the foregoing procedures), are valid and
binding obligations enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms,
entitled to the benefit of the Indenture, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to
enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and subject to such other exceptions
as counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of the Holders of such
Debt Securities; and

     (5) the amount of Debt Securities Outstanding of such series, together with the
amount of such Debt Securities, does not exceed any limit established under the
terms of this Indenture on the amount of Debt Securities of such series that may be
authenticated and delivered.

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

     Each Debt Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

20

 

     No Debt Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Debt Security a certificate of
authentication substantially in one of the forms provided for herein duly executed by an authorized
officer of the Trustee or by an Authenticating Agent, and such certificate upon any Debt Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Debt Security has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Debt Security shall have been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such
Debt Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.8 together with a written
statement (which need not comply with Section 1.2) stating that such Debt Security has never been
issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Debt Security shall be
deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

     Reference is made to Section 17.3 concerning execution and delivery of the Guarantees.

Section 3.4. Temporary Debt Securities; Global Notes Representing Debt Securities.

     (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of any series, the Company may
execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Debt
Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination for Debt Securities of such series, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Debt
Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Debt Securities may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Debt Securities. Every such temporary Debt
Security shall be executed by the Company and shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the
definitive Debt Securities in lieu of which they are issued.

     Except in the case of temporary Debt Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in
accordance with the provisions of the following paragraphs), if temporary Debt Securities of any
series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Debt Securities of such series to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Debt Securities of such series,
the temporary Debt Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Debt Securities
of such series, of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and provisions, upon surrender of the
temporary Debt Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment for such series, without charge to the Holder, except as provided in Section 3.5 in
connection with a transfer. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Debt
Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Debt Securities of the same series of
authorized denominations and of a like Stated Maturity and like terms and provisions. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Debt Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Debt Securities of such series.

     (b) If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.1 that the Debt Securities of a
series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes, then the

21

 

Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.3 and the Company
Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Notes that (i) shall
represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Notes, (ii)
shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or Notes or the nominee of
such depositary, and (iii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “This Debt
Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary
or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary,
unless and until this Debt Security is exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in
definitive form.”

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Section 3.5, unless and until it is
exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive form, a Global Note representing
all or a portion of the Debt Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary for such series to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to
such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to
a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor depositary.

     If at any time the Depositary for the Debt Securities of a series notifies the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Debt Securities of such series or if at
any time the Depositary for Debt Securities of a series shall no longer be a clearing agency
registered and in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other
applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to
the Debt Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Debt Securities of such
series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or
becomes aware of such condition, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series,
will authenticate and deliver, Debt Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note or Notes representing such series
in exchange for such Global Note or Notes.

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

     If the Debt Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one or more Global
Notes and if an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of such series shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Company will promptly execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a
Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Debt Securities of such series,
will authenticate and deliver, Debt Securities of such series in definitive form and in

22

 

an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note or Notes
representing such series in exchange for such Global Note or Notes.

     If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to Debt Securities of a
series, the Depositary for such series of Debt Securities may surrender a Global Note for such
series of Debt Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Debt Securities of such series in
definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such depositary. Thereupon, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge:

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

     (ii) to the Depositary a new Global Note in a denomination equal to the
difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Note and
the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

     Upon the exchange of a Global Note for Debt Securities in definitive form, such Global Note
shall be canceled by the Trustee. Debt Securities issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to
this subsection (b) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary for such Global Note, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants
or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Debt Securities to the
Persons in whose names such Debt Securities are so registered.

     No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Note held on its behalf by a Depositary (or
its nominee) shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Note or any
Debt Security represented thereby, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee,
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Note or any Debt Security
represented thereby for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Note, nothing herein shall prevent the
Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a
Depositary and such holders of beneficial interest, the operation of customary practices governing
the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominees) as Holder of any Debt Security.

Section 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

     (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register
(the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place
of Payment being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which,

23

 

subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Debt Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Debt Securities. Such Security
Register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being
accurately and completely converted into such form within a reasonable time. The Trustee is hereby
appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Debt Securities and registering
transfers and exchanges of Debt Securities as herein provided; provided, however, that the Company
may appoint co-Security Registrars unless the terms of any series of Debt Securities provide
otherwise.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Debt Security of any series at the office
or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee, one or more new Debt
Securities of the same series of like aggregate principal amount of such denominations as are
authorized for Debt Securities of such series and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and
conditions.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4 and this Section 3.5, at the option of the Holder,
Debt Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Debt Securities of the same series of like
aggregate principal amount and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions, upon
surrender of the Debt Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Debt
Securities are surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Debt Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

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

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

     No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of Debt Securities except as
provided in Section 3.6. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration, transfer or
exchange of Debt Securities, other than those expressly provided in this Indenture to be made at
the Company’s own expense or without expense or without charge to the Holders and other than in
connection with the exchange of a Global Note for Debt Securities in definitive form pursuant to
Section 3.4(b).

     The Company shall not be required (i) to register, transfer or exchange Debt Securities of any
series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the
transmission of a notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such series selected for redemption
under Section 13.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such transmission, or (ii) to
register, transfer or exchange any Debt Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Debt Security being redeemed in part.

24

 

Section 3.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Debt Securities.

     If (i) any mutilated Debt Security is surrendered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust
Office, or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Debt Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be satisfactory by them to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless, and neither the Company nor the Trustee receives notice that such Debt
Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, then the Company shall execute and upon
Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security, a new Debt Security of the same series of like
Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions and like principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously Outstanding,

     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Debt Security,
pay the amount due on such Debt Security in accordance with its terms.

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

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

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

Section 3.7. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

     (a) Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series, interest on any Debt Security which is payable and is punctually paid or
duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Debt
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest notwithstanding the cancellation of such Debt Security upon
any transfer or exchange subsequent to the Regular Record Date. Unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, payment of interest
on Debt Securities shall be made at the place or places specified pursuant to Section 3.1 or, at
the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Security Register or, if provided pursuant to Section 3.1, by wire
transfer to an account designated by the Holder by the Regular Record Date.

25

 

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

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the
Persons in whose names such Debt Securities (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the
payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.
The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each such Debt Security and the date of the proposed payment,
and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the
payment of such Defaulted Interest which date shall be not more than 15 days and not
less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10
days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the
name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment
of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Holders of such Debt Securities at their
addresses as they appear in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Debt Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such
Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause
(2).

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

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

26

 

Section 3.8. Cancellation.

     Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any series, all Debt
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, exchange or credit against any sinking
fund shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All
Debt Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Company may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Debt Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver
to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Debt
Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued, and all Debt
Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Debt Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Debt Securities canceled as provided in this
Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Debt Securities held by the
Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. The
acquisition of any Debt Securities by the Company shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction
of the indebtedness represented thereby unless and until such Debt Securities are surrendered to
the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 3.9. Computation of Interest.

     Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any series,
interest on the Debt Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

Section 3.10. Currency of Payments in Respect of Debt Securities.

     Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any series, payment
of the principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on any Debt Security of such series will
be made in Dollars.

Section 3.11. CUSIP Numbers.

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

Section 4.1. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

     This Indenture, with respect to the Debt Securities of any series (if all series issued under
this Indenture are not to be affected), shall, upon Company Request, cease to be of further effect
with respect to any series of Debt Securities specified in such Company Request (except as to any
surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities herein expressly
provided for and rights to receive payments of principal (and premium, if any) and interest on such
Debt Securities) and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such series of Debt
Securities, when:

     (1) either

     (A) all Debt Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered
(other than (i) Debt Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or
stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6 and (ii) Debt
Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in
trust or segregated and held in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent by the
Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as
provided in Section 12.4) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

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

     (i) have become due and payable by reason of the giving of a notice of
redemption or otherwise, or

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

     (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

and the Company either complies with any other condition or terms specified
pursuant to Section 3.1, or if not so specified in the case of (i), (ii) or
(iii) of this subclause (B), has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds held in trust solely for the
benefit of the Holders, cash in United States Dollars in an amount, U.S.
Government Obligations (as defined in Section 15.2) which through the
payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with
their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any

28

 

payment, money in an amount, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as
will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to
pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Debt Securities not
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any and
accrued interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Debt Securities
which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption
Date, as the case may be;

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

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

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to
the Trustee under Section 6.7, and if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and
the last paragraph of Section 12.4, shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 4.2. Application of Trust Money, Etc.

     The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall promptly pay or return to the Company upon Company
Request any moneys or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time that are not required
for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Debt Securities of
any series for which money or U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section
4.1.

     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 12.4, all money deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Debt Securities, if any, and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for
whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

     The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee for any series of Debt Securities
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 4.1 or the interest and principal received in respect of such U.S.
Government Obligations other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is payable by or
on behalf of Holders. The obligation of the Company under this Section 4.2 shall be deemed to be
an obligation of the Company under Section 6.7.

this Section specifically dealt with or which expressly has been included in this
Indenture solely for the benefit of Debt Securities of a series other than such
series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after
there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee
or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such
default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a
“Notice of Default” hereunder; or

     (5) the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company by a
court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under the Federal
bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or
State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or a decree or order adjudging

of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding
up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order
unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

30

 

     (6) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under the Federal

the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they
become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any
such action; or

     (7) any Guarantor contests the validity or enforceability of its guarantee or
any obligation under a Guarantee shall not be (or is claimed by a Guarantor not to
be) in full force and effect in all material respects (except as contemplated by the
terms hereof) and such default continues for 10 Business Days after receipt of
notice thereof; or

     (8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Debt Securities of that
series pursuant to Section 3.1.

Section 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     If an Event of Default (unless otherwise provided with respect to Debt Securities of any
series pursuant to Section 3.1, other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) or (6) of
Section 5.1) with respect to Debt Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is
continuing, then in every such case, unless the principal of all Debt Securities shall have already
become due and payable, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of such series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Debt
Securities of such series are Discount Securities or indexed securities, such portion of the
principal amount of such Discount Securities as may be specified in the terms of such Discount
Securities or indexed securities) of and all accrued but unpaid interest on all the Debt Securities
of such series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified
amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest (and premium, if payable) shall become immediately due and
payable. Unless otherwise provided with respect to Debt Securities of any series pursuant to
Section 3.1, if an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) or (6) of Section 5.1 occurs, such
amount shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other
act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Upon payment of such amount, all obligations of the
Company in respect of the payment of principal of (and premium, if payable) and interest on the
Debt Securities of such series shall terminate.

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

31

 

     (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
in the currency in which Debt Securities of such series are payable:

	 	(A)	 	all overdue installments of interest on all Debt
Securities of such series,
	 
	 	(B)	 	the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Debt
Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Debt Securities,
	 
	 	(C)	 	to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest upon overdue installments of interest on each Debt Security of
such series at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Debt
Securities or, if no such rate or rates are so prescribed, at the rate
borne by the Debt Securities during the period of such default, and
	 
	 	(D)	 	all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel; provided, however, that all sums
payable under this clause (D) shall be paid in Dollars;

     and

     (2) All Events of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series, other
than the nonpayment of the principal of Debt Securities of such series which has
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as
provided in Section 5.13.

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

Section 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

     The Company covenants that if

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

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

     (3) default is made in the making or satisfaction of any sinking fund payment
or analogous obligation when the same becomes due pursuant to the terms of the Debt
Securities of any series, and such default continues for a period of 30 days,

32

 

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of
such Debt Securities, the amount then due and payable on such Debt Securities, for the
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent that payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest upon the overdue principal (and
premium, if any) and upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in such Debt Securities or, if no such rate or rates are so prescribed, at the
rate borne by the Debt Securities during the period of such default; and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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

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

Section 5.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceedings, or any
voluntary or involuntary case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted,
relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities, of a particular series or
all or substantially all of the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of such Debt Securities shall then be
due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of
overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise,

     (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or, if the
Debt Securities of such series are Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may be due and payable with respect to such series pursuant to a
declaration in accordance with Section 5.2) (and premium, if any) and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Debt Securities of such series and to file such other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the
Holders of such Debt Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

33

 

     (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee,
custodian, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such
proceeding is hereby authorized by each such 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 such Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Debt Securities of such series 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 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Debt Securities.

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

Section 5.6. Application of Money Collected.

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

     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7;

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

     THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct.

34

 

Section 5.7. Limitation on Suits.

     No Holder of any Debt Security of any series shall have any right to institute any action or
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, with respect
to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian,
sequestrator (or similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

     (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Debt Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee
hereunder,

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

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

     (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the
Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or of the Holders of Outstanding Debt Securities
of any other series (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to
ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders), or
to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce
any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable
benefit of all of such Holders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this
Section 5.7, each and every Holder of Debt Securities of any series and the Trustee for such series
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given at law or in equity.

Section 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Debt Security shall
have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest on such Debt Security on the respective
Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Debt Security (or, in the case of redemption, on
the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and interest
thereon, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

35

 

Section 5.9. 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 the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no
such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     Except as otherwise expressly provided elsewhere in this Indenture, 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 5.11. 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 any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Indenture or by
law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 5.12. Control By Holders.

     The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any series
shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred by this Indenture on the
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, provided, that:

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

     (2) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right
to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a
Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, determine that the
proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Debt
Securities of such series not joining in any such direction or would involve the
Trustee in personal liability; and

     (3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is
not inconsistent with such direction.

36

 

Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

     The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Debt Securities of any such series
waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a
default:

     (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any
Debt Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or
analogous obligation with respect to the Debt Securities of such series; or

     (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which pursuant to Article XI
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Debt Security of such series affected; provided that a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series may rescind and annul a
declaration of acceleration with respect to Debt Securities of a given series, as
provided in Section 5.2.

     Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of the
Debt Securities of such series under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.

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

37

 

ARTICLE VI.

THE TRUSTEE

Section 6.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

     (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities
of any series:

     (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

     (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to
the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not
confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts
stated therein).

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

     (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability
for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct,
except that:

     (1) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection
(a) of this Section;

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

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

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

     (d) 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

provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking
fund installment with respect to Debt Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a
trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine
that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Debt Securities of such
series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 5.1(4) with respect to Debt Securities of such series no such notice to Holders shall be
given until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the
term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an
Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of such series.

     Notice given pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be transmitted by mail:

     (1) to all Holders, as the names and addresses of the Holders appear in the
Security Register; and

     (2) to each Holder of a Debt Security of any series whose name and address

Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith
on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

     (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or

     (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 or direction of any of the Holders of Debt Securities of any

be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

majority of the Holders of the Outstanding Debt Securities affected thereby, but the Trustee, in
its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may
see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it
shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent
or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of
any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

     (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties

responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with

     (h) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default
hereunder unless (i) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (ii) the Trustee
shall have received notice thereof at its Corporate Trust Office in accordance with Section 1.4
from the Company or any Holder;

     (i) except as may be required in connection with any legal proceedings, the Trustee shall not

consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit)
irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action;

     (l) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and
other Person employed to act hereunder; and

     (m) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to
this Indenture.

Section 6.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Debt Securities.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Debt Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Debt Securities of any series. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Debt Securities or the proceeds
thereof.

Section 6.5. May Hold Debt Securities.

     The Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Debt Securities, and,
subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 6.6. Money Held in Trust.

     Money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust hereunder need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall
be under any liability for (i) interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed in writing with the Company or (ii) losses resulting from currency fluctuations or any
investments made pursuant to 6.1(c)(4).

Section 6.7. Compensation and Reimbursement.

     The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree:

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

41

 

     (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee in
Dollars upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its
agents and counsel), except to the extent any such expense, disbursement or advance
shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct;
and

     (3) to indemnify in Dollars the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against,
any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense incurred without negligence or
willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance
or administration of this trust or performance of its duties hereunder, including
the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, except to the extent that any such claim or liability shall be determined
to have been caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct.

     As consideration for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the
Trustee shall have a claim senior to the Debt Securities upon all property and funds held or
collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of amounts due on
particular Debt Securities.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and
expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law.

     The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.7 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee
and to reimburse it for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional
indebtedness under this Indenture and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 6.8. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

     If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA
with respect to the Debt Securities of any series, then, within 90 days after ascertaining that it
has such conflicting interest, and if the default to which such conflicting interest relates has
not been cured or duly waived or otherwise eliminated before the end of such 90-day period, the
Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign with respect to the Debt
Securities of such series, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the
provisions of, the TIA and this Indenture, and the Company shall take prompt steps to have a
successor appointed, in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred
to in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA.

42

 

Section 6.9. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State 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 for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee upon
any Debt Securities.

Section 6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee under Section 6.11.

     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Debt Securities of one or more
series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a
successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 60 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of such series.

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

     (d) If at any time:

     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such series for at
least six months, or

     (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 with respect to
the Debt Securities of any series and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

     (3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be

43

 

appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or
of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation,

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect
to all Debt Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Debt Security of any series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Trustee for the Debt Securities of such series.

     (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Debt Securities of one or
more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or
Trustees with respect to the Debt Securities of that or those series (except as provided in Section
6.10(c)) (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the
Debt Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one
Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or
incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of such series and to
that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with
respect to the Debt Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the
Holders of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Debt Security of such series for at least six months may, subject
to Section 5.14, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of such series.

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

Section 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     (a) In the case of an appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Debt
Securities, each 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 request of the Company or the successor Trustee,
such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the

44

 

retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all
property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if
any, provided for in Section 6.7.

     (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each
successor Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of 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 Debt 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 Debt 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 Debt 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 any 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 other trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the
execution and delivery of any 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 Debt 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 Debt Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.

     (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company 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 paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may
be.

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

Section 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

     Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided
that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In
case any Debt Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the

45

 

Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Debt Securities so
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Debt
Securities. In case any Debt Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor
Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Debt Securities, in either
its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this
Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.

Section 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

     The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed is subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent
indicated therein.

Section 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

     As long as any Debt Securities of a series remain Outstanding, upon a Company Request, there
shall be an authenticating agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) appointed, for such period as the
Company shall elect, by the Trustee for such series of Debt Securities to act as its agent on its
behalf and subject to its direction in connection with the authentication and delivery of each
series of Debt Securities for which it is serving as Trustee. Debt Securities of each such series
authenticated by such Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and
shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by such Trustee. Wherever
reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Debt Securities of any
series by the Trustee for such series or to the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication, such
reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee for such
series by an Authenticating Agent for such series and a Certificate of Authentication executed on
behalf of such Trustee by such Authenticating Agent, except that only the Trustee may authenticate
Debt Securities upon original issuance and pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof. Such Authenticating
Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers,
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its
most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

     Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted, or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or
substantially all the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be
the Authenticating Agent with respect to all series of Debt Securities for which it

46

 

served as Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of the Trustee for such series or such Authenticating Agent.

     The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written
notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company in the manner set forth in Section
1.4. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time, and if it shall cease to be eligible shall, resign
by giving written notice of resignation to the applicable Trustee and to the Company. Upon
receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6.14 with respect to one or more or all series of Debt Securities, the Trustee for such series
shall upon Company Request appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, and the Company shall provide
notice of such appointment to all Holders of Debt Securities of such series in the manner and to
the extent provided in Section 1.5. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of
its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent herein.
The Company agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for each series from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services. The Authenticating Agent for the Debt Securities of any series
shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of
the Trustee for such series.

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

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

receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not

and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing of any material pursuant to
a request made under Section 7.2(b).

Section 8.1. Acts of Holders.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced

49

 

by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or
by an agent or proxy duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Whenever in this Indenture
it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities of any series may take any Act, the fact that the Holders of such
specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by the instrument or instruments
executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of
Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Holders duly called and held in accordance
with the provisions of Article IX, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and
any such record of such a meeting of Holders.

     The Company may, at its option, by Company Order, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of Holders of registered Debt Securities entitled to give any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act solicited by the Company, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so; provided, however, that the Company may not fix a record
date for the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the
next sentence. In addition, the Trustee may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of Holders of registered Debt Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of
any Notice of Default, any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, any request to
institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7 or any direction referred to in Section 5.12. If
any such record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act, or such notice, declaration, request or direction, may be given before or
after such record date, but only the Holders of registered Debt Securities of record at the close
of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders of registered Debt Securities for the
purposes of determining (i) whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Debt
Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such Act (and for that purpose the Outstanding
registered Debt Securities shall be computed as of the record date) and/or (ii) which Holders of
registered Debt Securities may revoke any such Act (notwithstanding Section 8.4); and any such Act,
given as aforesaid, shall be effective whether or not the Holders of registered Debt Securities
which authorized or agreed or consented to such Act remain Holders of registered Debt Securities
after such record date and whether or not the Debt Securities held by such Holders remain
Outstanding after such record date.

Section 8.2. Proof of Ownership; Proof of Execution of Instruments by Holder.

     The ownership of Debt Securities of any series shall be proved by the Security Register for
such series or by a certificate of the Security Registrar for such series.

     Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.3 and 9.5, proof of the execution of a writing
appointing an agent or proxy and of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or
proxy shall be sufficient and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if made in a
manner satisfactory to the Trustee.

50

 

     The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.6.

     The Trustee may in any instance require further or other proof with respect to any of the
matters referred to in this Section so long as the request is a reasonable one.

Section 8.3. Persons Deemed Owners.

     The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name any Debt Security is registered as the owner of such Debt Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest,
if any, on such Debt Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Debt
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All payments made to any Holder, or upon his
order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, effectual to satisfy and
discharge the liability for moneys payable upon such Debt Security.

Section 8.4. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound.

     At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section
8.1, of the taking of any Act by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Debt Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such Act, any Holder of
a Debt Security the number, letter or other distinguishing symbol of which is shown by the evidence
to be included in such Debt Securities, the Holders of which have consented to such Act, by filing
written notice with the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of ownership as
provided in Section 8.2, may revoke such Act so far as it concerns such Debt Security. Except as
aforesaid, any such Act taken by the Holder of any Debt Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of such Debt Security and of any Debt Securities
issued on transfer or in lieu thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of
whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Debt Security or such other Debt
Securities.

ARTICLE IX.

     The Trustee for any series may at any time call a meeting of Holders of such series to take
any action specified in Section 9.1, to be held at such time or times and at such place or places
as the Trustee for such series shall determine. Notice of every meeting of the Holders of any
series, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action
proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given to Holders of such series in the manner and to
the extent provided in Section 1.5. Such notice shall be given not less than 10 days nor more than

for such meetings and may call such meetings to take any action authorized in Section 9.1, by
giving notice thereof as provided in Section 9.2.

respect to which such meeting is being held and its counsel and any representatives of the Company
and its counsel.

Section 9.5. Regulations.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee for any series may make

and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and

52

     The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting,
unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of such series as provided

series. Any meeting of Holders with respect to which a meeting was duly called pursuant to the
provisions of Section 9.2 or 9.3 may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of such Holders
present and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

Section 9.6. Voting.

meeting is being held shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of
such Holders or of their representatives by proxy and the serial number or numbers of the Debt

inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and
who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in
duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each
meeting of Holders shall be taken, and there shall be attached to said record the original reports
of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more
persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing
that said notice was transmitted as provided in Section 9.2. The record shall show the serial
numbers of the Debt Securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be
signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting, and
one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be

to be maintained for such purposes (in or outside of such Place of Payment), and may from time to
time rescind any such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall
in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations described in the preceding paragraph. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such additional designation or
rescission of designation and any change in the location of any such different or additional office
or agency.

Section 12.4. Money for Debt Securities; Payments to be Held in Trust.

     If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of
Debt Securities it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on any of the Debt Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or
interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents with respect to any series of Debt
Securities, it will, by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of the principal (and
premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Securities of such series, deposit with any such Paying

so to act.

     Notwithstanding any term herein to the contrary, in no instance shall the Trustee be under any
duty or obligation (i) to maintain any office or to act in any capacity as an agent for any purpose
under this Indenture (or any supplement hereto) outside the United States, or (ii) to act as a
Paying Agent in respect of any currency other than Dollars.

59

 

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

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

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

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

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

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Debt Security of
any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or
interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request, or (if then
held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Debt Security
shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense
of the Company cause to be transmitted, in the manner and to the extent provided by Section 1.5,
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not
be less than 30 days from the date of such notification, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 12.5. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
condition set forth in any covenant not set forth herein and specified pursuant to Section 3.1 to
be applicable to the Debt Securities of any series and to be subject to this Section 12.5), with
respect to the Debt Securities of such series, except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section
3.1, with

60

 

respect to the Debt Securities of such series if before the time for such compliance the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such
series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally
waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or
affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent expressly so waived, and, until such
waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in
respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

     The election of the Company to redeem any Debt Securities shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least
30 and not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter
notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the
principal amount of Debt Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption
of Debt Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in
the terms of such Debt 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 Debt Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restrictions or condition.

Section 13.3. Selection by Trustee of Debt Securities to be Redeemed.

     Except in the case of a redemption in whole of the Debt Securities of such series, if less
than all the Debt Securities of any series are to be redeemed at the election of the Company, the
particular Debt Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series not previously
called for redemption on a pro rata basis, by lot or such other method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to
the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of such series or any integral multiple
thereof) of the principal amount of Debt Securities of such series in a denomination larger than
the minimum authorized denomination for Debt Securities of such series pursuant to Section 3.2.
The portions of the principal amount of Debt Securities so selected for partial redemption shall be
equal to the minimum authorized denominations for Debt Securities of such series pursuant to
Section 3.2 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, except as otherwise set forth in
the applicable form of Debt Securities. In any case when more than one Debt Security of such
series is registered in the same name, the Trustee in its

61

 

discretion may treat the aggregate principal amount so registered as if it were represented by
one Debt Security of such series.

     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Debt Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Debt Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed.

     If any Debt Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before the
Redemption Date, the converted portion of such Debt Security shall be deemed, to the fullest extent
practicable, to be the portion selected for redemption. Debt Securities which have been converted
during a selection of Debt Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding
for the purpose of such selection.

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

Section 13.4. Notice of Redemption.

     Notice of redemption shall be given by the Company, or at the Company’s written request and
provision of such notice information 10 days prior to the notice being sent (or such shorter period
as allowed by the Trustee), by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, at least
30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to the Holders of Debt Securities of
any series to be redeemed in whole or in part pursuant to this Article XIII, in the manner provided
in Section 1.5. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether or not the Holder receives such notice. Failure to give such notice, or any defect in such
notice to the Holder of any Debt Security of a series designated for redemption, in whole or in
part, shall not affect the sufficiency of any notice of redemption with respect to the Holder of
any other Debt Security of such series.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date;

     (2) the Redemption Price or, if not then ascertainable, the manner of
calculation thereof;

     (3) that Debt Securities of such series are being redeemed by the Company
pursuant to provisions contained in this Indenture or the terms of the Debt
Securities of such series or a supplemental indenture establishing such series, if
such be the case, together with a brief statement of the facts permitting such
redemption;

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

62

 

     (5) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and
payable upon each such Debt Security to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if
any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date;

     (6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Debt Securities are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;

     (7) the CUSIP number, if any, and that no representation is made as to the
accuracy or correctness of the CUSIP number, if any, listed on such notice or
printed on the Debt Securities; and

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

Section 13.5. Deposit of Redemption Price.

     On or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date for any Debt Securities,
the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as
its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 12.4) an amount of money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of such Debt Securities or any portions thereof which are to
be redeemed on that date.

Section 13.6. Debt Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, any Debt Securities so to be redeemed
shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price, and from and after
such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such Debt
Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Debt Security for redemption
in accordance with said notice, such Debt Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption
Price; provided that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, installments of
interest on Debt Securities which have a Stated Maturity on or prior to the Redemption Date for
such Debt Securities shall be payable according to the terms of such Debt Securities and the
provisions of Section 3.7.

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

Section 13.7. Debt Securities Redeemed in Part.

     Any Debt Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Corporate
Trust Office or such other office or agency of the Company as is specified pursuant to Section 3.1
with, if the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Debt
Security without service charge, a new Debt Security or Debt Securities of the same series, of like
tenor and form, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the

63

 

unredeemed portion of the principal of the Debt Security so surrendered. In the case of a
Debt Security providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the Holder thereof,
the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Debt Security or Debt Securities as aforesaid, may make a
notation on such Debt Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof.

Section 13.8. Conversion Arrangement in Call for Redemption.

     In connection with any redemption of Debt Securities of any series which are convertible, the
Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any such Debt Securities by an agreement
with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Debt Securities by paying
to the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust for the Holders of such Debt Securities, on or before
10:00 a.m. New York time on the Redemption Date, an amount not less than the Redemption Price, in
immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article
XIII, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price of such Debt Securities, including
all accrued interest, if any, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such
amount is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Debt Securities
not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof, at the option of the Company, may be
deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by such purchasers from such Holders and
surrendered by such purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business
on the last Business Day on which such Debt Securities called for redemption may be converted in
accordance with this Indenture and the terms of such Debt Securities, subject to payment to the
Trustee or Paying Agent of the above-described amount. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall hold
and pay to the Holders whose Debt Securities are selected for redemption any such amount paid to it
in the same manner as it would pay funds deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of
Debt Securities of such series. Without the Trustee’s and the Paying Agent’s prior written
consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the purchase and conversion of
any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or
obligations of the Trustee and the Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture.

ARTICLE XIV.

SINKING FUNDS

Section 14.1. Applicability of Articles.

     The provisions of this Article XIV shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement
of Debt Securities of a series except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt
Securities of such series.

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Debt 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 Debt Securities of any series is herein
referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Debt Securities
of any series, the amount of any cash sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided
in Section 14.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the

64

 

redemption of Debt Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Debt Securities of
such series.

Section 14.2. Satisfaction of Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments with Debt Securities.

     In lieu of making all or any part of a mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Debt
Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option, at any time no more than sixteen
months and no less than 45 days prior to the date on which such sinking fund payment is due,
deliver to the Trustee Debt Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired
by the Company, except Debt Securities of such series which have been redeemed through the
application of mandatory sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of the Debt Securities of such
series, accompanied by a Company Order instructing the Trustee to credit such obligations and
stating that the Debt Securities of such series were originally issued by the Company by way of
bona fide sale or other negotiation for value, provided that such Debt Securities shall not have
been previously so credited. Such Debt Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose
by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Debt Securities for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be
reduced accordingly.

Section 14.3. Redemption of Debt Securities for Sinking Fund.

     Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Debt
Securities (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company will deliver
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund
payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is
to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Debt Securities of such series pursuant to Section 14.2 and shall state
the basis for such credit and that such Debt Securities have not previously been so credited and
whether the Company intends to exercise its rights to make a permitted optional sinking fund
payment with respect to such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery
the Company shall be obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on
or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company
to deliver such certificate, the sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund
payment date for such series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the
principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment
without the right to deliver or credit Debt Securities as provided in Section 14.2 and without the
right to make any optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series at such time.

     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 Debt Securities of any series), such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Debt 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

65

 

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.

     Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused
balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made with respect to the Debt Securities of any
particular series shall, subject to the preceding paragraph, be applied by the Trustee (to the
extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or other Paying Agent appointed by
the Company (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent) on the sinking
fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund
payment date, on the sinking fund payment date immediately following the date of such payment) to
the redemption of Debt Securities of such series at the Redemption Price specified in such Debt
Securities with respect to the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated
by the Trustee (to the extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or other
Paying Agent appointed by the Company (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent) to the redemption of Debt Securities shall be added to the next sinking fund payment
received by the Trustee (to the extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregated and held in trust as provided in Section 12.4) for such series and, together with such
payment (or such amount so segregated) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this
Section. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Debt Securities of any particular
series held by the Trustee (to the extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars)
or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, segregated and held in trust as provided in Section 12.4) on the last sinking fund payment
date with respect to Debt Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of
particular Debt Securities of such series shall be applied by the Trustee (to the extent it is
acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company
(or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent), together with other moneys,
if necessary, to be deposited (or segregated) sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the
principal of the Debt Securities of such series at Maturity.

     The Trustee shall select or cause to be selected the Debt Securities to be redeemed upon such
sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 13.3 and the Company shall cause
notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the manner provided in Section 13.4. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Debt Securities shall be made upon the terms and in
the manner stated in Section 13.6.

     On or before 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each sinking fund payment date, the Company
shall pay to the Trustee (to the extent it is acting as a Paying Agent with respect to Dollars) or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
the Company shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 12.4) in cash a sum equal to
the principal and any interest accrued to the Redemption Date for Debt Securities or portions
thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section.

     Neither the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor the Company shall redeem any Debt Securities of a
series with sinking fund moneys or give any notice of redemption of Debt Securities of such

66

 

series by operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance of a default in
payment of interest, if any, on any Debt Securities of such series or of any Event of Default
(other than an Event of Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with respect to the
Debt Securities of such series, except that if the notice of redemption shall have been provided in
accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee or applicable Paying Agent (or the Company, if
the Company is then acting as its own Paying Agent) shall redeem such Debt Securities if cash
sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee or such other Paying Agent as
provided above (or segregated by the Company) for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this
Article. 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 such sinking fund
shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be held as security for the
payment of the Debt Securities of such series; provided, however, that in case such default or
Event of Default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter
be applied on or prior to the next sinking fund payment date for the Debt Securities of such series
on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

ARTICLE XV.

DEFEASANCE

Section 15.1. Applicability of Article.

     Except as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.1, the provisions of this Article shall be
applicable.

Section 15.2. Defeasance Upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S. Government Obligations.

     At the Company’s option, either (a) the Company shall be deemed to have been Discharged (as
defined below) from its obligations with respect to Debt Securities of any series (“legal
defeasance option”) or (b) the Company shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any
term, provision or condition set forth in clauses (ii) and (iv) of Section 10.1 with respect to
Debt Securities of any series (and, if so specified pursuant to Section 3.1, any other obligation
of the Company or restrictive covenant added for the benefit of such series pursuant to Section
3.1), and any noncompliance with such terms, provisions or covenants shall not constitute a default
or Event of Default with respect to the Debt Securities of that series (“covenant defeasance
option”), at any time after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied:

     (1) the Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with
the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and
dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such
series, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations (as defined
below) which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in
accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date
of any payment, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii),
sufficient, in the opinion (with respect to (i), (ii) and (iii)) of a nationally

67

 

recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each
installment of principal (including any mandatory sinking fund payments) of and
premium, if any, and interest on, the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series on
the dates such installments of interest or principal and premium are due;

     (2) such deposit shall not cause the Trustee with respect to the Debt
Securities of that series to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section 6.8
and for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Debt Securities of
any series;

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

     (4) if the Debt Securities of such series are then listed on any national
securities exchange, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel or a letter or other document from such exchange to the effect that the
Company’s exercise of its option under this Section would not cause such Debt
Securities to be delisted;

     (5) no Event of Default or event (including such deposit) which, with notice or
lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Debt
Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit and, with respect to the legal defeasance option only, no Event of Default
under Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6) or event which with the giving of notice or
lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under Section 5.1(5) or
Section 5.1(6) shall have occurred and be continuing on the 91st day after such
date; and

     (6) if the Debt Securities are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity (other
than from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such
redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision
therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made; and

     (7) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service, or in the case of the covenant defeasance option, an Opinion of
Counsel, to the effect that the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series will
not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of
such deposit, defeasance or Discharge.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option and an Event of
Default under Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6) or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of
time, or both, would become an Event of Default under Section 5.1(5) or Section 5.1(6) shall have
occurred and be continuing on the 91st day after the date of such deposit, the obligations of the
Company referred to under the definition of legal defeasance option with respect to such Debt
Securities shall be reinstated.

68

 

     Notwithstanding the Company’s exercise of the covenant defeasance option, the Company may
subsequently exercise the legal defeasance option.

     “Discharged” means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, the Debt Securities of such
series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to the Debt
Securities of such series (and the Trustee for such series of Debt Securities, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except
(A) the rights of Holders of Debt Securities of such series to receive, from the trust fund
described in clause (1) above, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on such Debt Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations
with respect to the Debt Securities of such series under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 12.3 and
15.3 and (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder.

     “U.S. Government Obligations” means securities that are (i) direct obligations of the
United States backed by its full faith and credit, or (ii) obligations of a Person
controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States
the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by
the United States, which, in either case under clauses (i) or (ii), are not callable or
redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt
issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government
Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such U.S. Government
Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt;
provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any
deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount
received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific
payment of interest on or principal of the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such
depository receipt.

Section 15.3. Deposited Moneys and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust.

     All moneys and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 15.2
in respect of Debt Securities of a series shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance
with the provisions of such Debt Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Debt Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon for
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 15.4. Repayment to Company.

     The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall promptly pay or return to the Company upon Company
Request any moneys or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time that, in the opinion of
a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the same opinion provided pursuant to Section
15.2(1)), are not required for the payment of the principal of (and premium,

69

 

if any) and interest on the Debt Securities of any series for which money or U.S. Government
Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 15.2.

     The provisions of the last paragraph of Section 12.4 shall apply to any money held by the
Trustee or any Paying Agent under this Article that remains unclaimed for two years after the
Maturity of any series of Debt Securities for which money or U.S. Government Obligations have been
deposited pursuant to Section 15.2.

     The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee for any series of Debt Securities
against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 15.2 or the interest and principal received in respect of such U.S.
Government Obligations other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is payable by or
on behalf of Holders. The obligation of the Company under this Section 15.4 shall be deemed to be
an obligation of the Company under Section 6.7.

ARTICLE XVI.

CONVERSION

Section 16.1. Applicability; Conversion Privilege.

     Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any series, the
provisions of this Article XVI shall be applicable to any Debt Securities that are convertible into
Common Stock. If so provided pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the Debt Securities of any
series, the Holder of a Debt Security of such series shall have the right, at such Holder’s option,
to convert, in accordance with the terms of such series of Debt Securities and this Article XVI,
all or any part (in a denomination of, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with
respect to Debt Securities of such series, $2,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof) of such Debt Security into shares of Common Stock or, as to any Debt
Securities called for redemption, at any time prior to the time and date fixed for such redemption
(unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case such right
shall not terminate at such time and date).

Section 16.2. Conversion Procedure; Conversion Price; Fractional Shares.

     (a) Each Debt Security to which this Article is applicable shall be convertible at the office
of the Conversion Agent, and at such other place or places, if any, specified in pursuant to
Section 3.1 with respect to the Debt Securities of such series, into fully paid and nonassessable
shares (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock. The Debt Securities will be
converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price therefor. No payment or adjustment
shall be made in respect of dividends on the Common Stock or accrued interest on a converted Debt
Security except as described in Section 16.9. The Company may, but shall not be required, in
connection with any conversion of Debt Securities, issue a fraction of a share of Common Stock and,
if the Company shall determine not to issue any such fraction, the Company shall, subject to
Section 16.3(4), make a cash payment (calculated to the nearest cent) equal to such fraction
multiplied by the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day prior to the date of
conversion.

70

 

     (b) Before any Holder of a Debt Security shall be entitled to convert the same into Common
Stock, such Holder shall surrender such Debt Security duly endorsed to the Company or in blank at
the office of the Conversion Agent or at such other place or places, if any, specified pursuant to
Section 3.1 and shall give written notice to the Company at said office or place that he elects to
convert the same and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Debt Securities to be
converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which he wishes the certificate or certificates
for Common Stock to be issued; provided, however, that no Debt Security or portion thereof shall be
accepted for conversion unless the principal amount of such Debt Security or such portion, when
added to the principal amount of all other Debt Securities or portions thereof then being
surrendered by the Holder thereof for conversion, exceeds the then effective Conversion Price with
respect thereto. If more than one Debt Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by
the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon
conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities
(or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered. Subject to the
next succeeding sentence, the Company will, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at
said office or place to such Holder of a Debt Security, or to his nominee or nominees, certificates
for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he shall be entitled as aforesaid, together,
subject to the last sentence of paragraph (a) above, with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share
to which he would otherwise be entitled. The Company shall not be required to deliver certificates
for shares of Common Stock while the stock transfer books for such stock or the Security Register
are duly closed for any purpose, but certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued and
delivered as soon as practicable after the opening of such books or Security Register. A Debt
Security shall be deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date of the
surrender of such Debt Security for conversion as provided above, and the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all
purposes as the record Holder or Holders of such Common Stock as of the close of business on such
date. In case any Debt Security shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder
of the Debt Securities so surrendered, without charge to such Holder (subject to the provisions of
Section 16.8), a new Debt Security or Debt Securities in authorized denominations in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Debt Security.

Section 16.3. Adjustment of Conversion Price for Common Stock.

     The Conversion Price with respect to any Debt Security which is convertible into Common Stock
shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

     (1) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of
such Debt Securities are outstanding, (i) pay a dividend in shares of its Common
Stock to holders of Common Stock, (ii) combine its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) subdivide its
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock
or (iv) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock,
then the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such action shall be adjusted
so that the Holders of such Debt Securities, upon conversion thereof into Common
Stock immediately following such event, shall

71

 

be entitled to receive the kind and amount of shares of capital stock of the
Company which they would have owned or been entitled to receive upon or by reason of
such event if such Debt Securities had been converted immediately before the record
date (or, if no record date, the effective date) for such event. An adjustment made
pursuant to this Section 16.3(1) shall become effective retroactively immediately
after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become
effective retroactively immediately after the effective date in the case of a
subdivision or combination. For the purposes of this Section 16.3(1), each Holder
of Debt Securities shall be deemed to have failed to exercise any right to elect the
kind or amount of securities receivable upon the payment of any such dividend,
subdivision, combination or distribution (provided that if the kind or amount of
securities receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or distribution
is not the same for each nonelecting share, then the kind and amount of securities
or other property receivable upon such dividend, subdivision, combination or
distribution for each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so
receivable per share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares).

     (2) In case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any of
such Debt Securities are outstanding, issue rights or warrants to all holders of
 shares of its Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days
after the record date for such issuance) to subscribe for or purchase shares of
Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) at a price per
share less than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock at such record date
(treating the price per share of the securities convertible into Common Stock as
equal to (x) the sum of (i) the price for a unit of the security convertible into
Common Stock and (ii) any additional consideration initially payable upon the
conversion of such security into Common Stock divided by (y) the number of shares of
Common Stock initially underlying such convertible security), the Conversion Price
with respect to such Debt Securities shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the
price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the
date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered
for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered
are initially convertible), and the denominator of which shall be the number of
 shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of securities which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of securities so offered for
subscription or purchase (or the aggregate purchase price of the convertible
securities so offered plus the aggregate amount of any additional consideration
initially payable upon conversion of such securities into Common Stock) would
purchase at such Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall
become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.

72

 

     (3) In the case the Company shall, at any time or from time to time while any
of such Debt Securities are outstanding, distribute to all holders of shares of its
Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a
consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and the
Common Stock is not changed or exchanged) cash, evidences of its indebtedness,
securities or assets (excluding (i) regular periodic cash dividends in amounts, if
any, determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, (ii) dividends payable
in shares of Common Stock for which adjustment is made under Section 16.3(1) or
(iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company
(excluding those referred to in Section 16.3(2))), then in each such case the
Conversion Price with respect to such Debt Securities shall be adjusted so that it
shall equal the price determined by dividing the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the record date
referred to below, and the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price
of the Common Stock less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of
the cash or assets or evidences of indebtedness or securities so distributed or of
such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock
(provided that such denominator shall never be less than 1.0); provided however,
that no adjustment shall be made with respect to any distribution of rights to
purchase securities of the Company if a Holder of Debt Securities would otherwise be
entitled to receive such rights upon conversion at any time of such Debt Securities
into Common Stock unless such rights are subsequently redeemed by the Company, in
which case such redemption shall be treated for purposes of this section as a
dividend on the Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective retroactively
immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to
receive such distribution; and in the event that such distribution is not so made,
the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would
then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.

     (4) The Company shall be entitled to make such additional adjustments in the
Conversion Price, in addition to those required by subsections 16.3(1), 16.3(2), and
16.3(3), as shall be necessary in order that any dividend or distribution of Common
Stock, any subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Stock or
any issuance of rights or warrants referred to above shall not be taxable to the
holders of Common Stock for United States Federal income tax purposes.

     (5) In any case in which this Section 16.3 shall require that any adjustment be
made effective as of or retroactively immediately following a record date, the
Company may elect to defer (but only for five (5) Trading Days following the filing
of the statement referred to in Section 16.5) issuing to the Holder of any Debt
Securities converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock and other
capital stock of the Company issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares
of Common Stock and other capital stock of

73

 

the Company issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price
prior to adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such
Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right to
receive such additional shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such
adjustment.

     (6) All calculations under this Section 16.3 shall be made to the nearest cent
or one-hundredth of a share of security, with one-half cent and 0.005 of a share,
respectively, being rounded upward. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 16.3, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment of the
Conversion Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least 1% of such price. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be
made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment which, together
with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase
or decrease of at least 1% in such price. Any adjustments under this Section 16.3
shall be made successively whenever an event requiring such an adjustment occurs.

     (7) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 16.3, the Holder of any Debt Security thereafter surrendered for
conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of stock of the Company other
than shares of Common Stock into which the Debt Securities originally were
convertible, the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion
of any such Debt Security shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a
manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with
respect to Common Stock contained in subparagraphs (1) through (6) of this Section
16.3, and the provisions of Sections 16.1, 16.2 and 16.4 through 16.9 with respect
to the Common Stock shall apply on like or similar terms to any such other shares
and the determination of the Board of Directors as to any such adjustment shall be
conclusive.

     (8) No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section: (i) if the effect
thereof would be to reduce the Conversion Price below the par value (if any) of the
Common Stock or (ii) subject to 16.3(5) hereof, with respect to any Debt Security
that is converted prior to the time such adjustment otherwise would be made.

Section 16.4. Consolidation or Merger of the Company.

     In case of either (a) any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, other than
a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and which
does not result in a reclassification of, or change (other than a change in par value or from par
value to no par value or from no par value to par value, as a result of a subdivision or
combination) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock or (b) any sale or conveyance of all or
substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to another Person, then the Conversion
Price shall not be adjusted. If any of the events described in the preceding sentence shall occur,
the Company shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture to provide that

74

 

each Debt Security then Outstanding shall be convertible from and after such merger,
consolidation, sale or conveyance of property and assets into the kind and amount of shares of
stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Debt
Securities would have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or
conveyance, subject to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Article XVI (and assuming such holder of Common Stock failed to
exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other
property (including cash) receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance (provided
that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property (including cash) receivable upon
such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance is not the same for each nonelecting share, then the
kind and amount of securities, cash or other property (including cash) receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance for each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind
and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares or securities)). The
Company shall not enter into any of the transactions referred to in clause (a) or (b) of the
preceding sentence unless effective provision shall be made so as to give effect to the provisions
set forth in this Section 16.4. The provisions of this Section 16.4 shall apply similarly to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

Section 16.5. Notice of Adjustment.

     Whenever an adjustment in the Conversion Price with respect to a series of Debt Securities is
required:

     (1) the Company shall forthwith place on file with the Trustee and any
Conversion Agent for such Debt Securities a certificate of the Treasurer or any Vice
President of the Company, stating the adjusted Conversion Price determined as
provided herein and setting forth in reasonable detail such facts as shall be
necessary to show the reason for and the manner of computing such adjustment, such
certificate to be conclusive evidence that the adjustment is correct absent manifest
error; and

     (2) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting
forth the adjusted Conversion Price shall forthwith be given to the Holders of the
Debt Securities of such series by the Company, or at the Company’s request by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, in the manner provided in
Section 1.5. Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.

Section 16.6. Notice in Certain Events.

     In case:

     (1) of a consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which
approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale

75

 

or conveyance to another Person or entity or group of Persons or entities
acting in concert as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company; or

     (2) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company; or

     (3) of any action triggering an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to
this Article XVI,

then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent
for the applicable Debt Securities, and shall cause to be given, to the Holders of record of the
applicable Debt Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.5, at least fifteen (15) days prior
to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to
be taken for the purpose of any distribution or grant of rights or warrants triggering an
adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article XVI, or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of record or Common Stock entitled to such distribution,
rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which any reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up triggering an
adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to this Article XVI is expected to become effective,
and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

     Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of
the proceedings described in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section.

Section 16.7. Company to Reserve Stock; Registration; Listing.

     (a) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights,
out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the Debt Securities, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as
shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all applicable outstanding Debt
Securities into such Common Stock at any time (assuming that, at the time of the computation of
such number of shares or securities, all such Debt Securities would be held by a single holder);
provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude the Company from satisfying its
obligations in respect of the conversion of the Debt Securities by delivery of purchased shares of
Common Stock which are held in the treasury of the Company. The Company shall from time to time,
in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, use its best efforts to cause the authorized
amount of the Common Stock to be increased if the aggregate of the authorized amount of the Common
Stock remaining unissued and the issued shares of such Common Stock in its treasury (other than any
such shares reserved for issuance in any other connection) shall not be sufficient to permit the
conversion of all Debt Securities.

     (b) If any shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon conversion of Debt Securities
hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority before

76

 

such shares or securities may be issued upon such conversion, the Company will in good faith
and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to cause such shares or securities to be duly registered
or approved, as the case may be. The Company will endeavor to list the shares of Common Stock
required to be delivered upon conversion of the Debt Securities prior to such delivery upon the
principal national securities exchange upon which the outstanding Common Stock is listed at the
time of such delivery.

Section 16.8. Taxes on Conversion.

     The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that
may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Debt
Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common
Stock or the portion, if any, of the Debt Securities which are not so converted in a name other
than that in which the Debt Securities so converted were registered (in case of Debt Securities),
and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has
paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Company
that such tax has been paid.

Section 16.9. Conversion After Record Date.

     If any Debt Securities are surrendered for conversion subsequent to the record date preceding
an Interest Payment Date but on or prior to such Interest Payment Date (except Debt Securities
called for redemption on a Redemption Date between such record date and Interest Payment Date), the
Holder of such Debt Securities at the close of business on such record date shall be entitled to
receive the interest payable on such Debt Securities on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding
the conversion thereof. Debt Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the
close of business on any record date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of
business on such Interest Payment Date shall (except in the case of Debt Securities which have been
called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such period) be accompanied by payment in New
York Clearing House funds or other funds of an amount equal to the interest payable on such
Interest Payment Date on the Debt Securities being surrendered for conversion. Except as provided
in this Section 16.9, no adjustments in respect of payments of interest on Debt Securities
surrendered for conversion or any dividends or distributions of interest on the Common Stock issued
upon conversion shall be made upon the conversion of any Debt Securities.

Section 16.10. Conversion of Debt Securities into Preferred Stock or other Securities.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article XVI, the Company may issue Debt
Securities that are convertible into Preferred Stock or other securities of the Company, including
Preferred Stock convertible into Common Stock, in which case all terms and conditions relating to
the conversion of Debt Securities into Preferred Stock or other securities, including any terms
similar to those provided in Sections 16.1 through 16.12, shall be as provided in or pursuant to an
appropriate Board Resolution or in any indenture supplemental hereto or as otherwise contemplated
by Section 3.1.

77

 

Section 16.11. Company Determination Final.

     Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors makes pursuant to this Article is
final and conclusive.

Section 16.12. Trustee Adjustment Disclaimer.

     The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article XVI should be made,
how it should be made or what it should be. The Trustee has no duty to determine whether a
supplemental indenture needs be entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental
indenture are correct. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to
the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Debt Securities. The
Trustee shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Article XVI. Each
Conversion Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) shall have the same
protection under this Section 16.12 as the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no duty to make any
calculation hereunder nor to monitor or otherwise determine when or whether a conversion event has
occurred.

ARTICLE XVII.

GUARANTEES

Section 17.1. Applicability of Article.

     Except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for Debt Securities of any series, the
provisions of this Article shall be applicable to each of the Guarantors for the Guarantee of Debt
Securities, if the Debt Securities of or within a series are specified to be guaranteed.

Section 17.2. Guarantee.

     Each Guarantor of a particular series of Debt Securities hereby unconditionally guarantees
(each such guarantee to be referred to herein as a “Guarantee”), jointly and severally with each
other Guarantor of the Debt Securities of that series, if any, to each Holder of such Debt
Securities authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and
assigns, (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on
such Debt Securities in accordance with the terms of the Debt Securities when and as the same shall
be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at Maturity, by acceleration, repurchase,
redemption or otherwise, and performance of all other monetary obligations of the Company to the
Holders of such Debt Securities or the Trustee under this Indenture, all in accordance with the
terms hereof and thereof, and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any
such Debt Securities or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when
due or to be performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated
Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

     If the Company fails to make any payment when due of any amount so guaranteed with respect to
the Debt Securities of any series for whatever reason, each Guarantor of such Debt Securities shall
be obligated, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, if any, to pay the same immediately.
This is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall be continuing, absolute and

78

 

unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, the validity, regularity or
enforceability of such Debt Securities, this Indenture or any other Guarantee, the absence of any
action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of such Debt Securities or the
Trustee with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the
Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute
a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand of performance, filing of claims with a court in
the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first
against the Company, the benefit of discussion, protest, notice and all demand whatsoever and
covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the
obligations contained in the Debt Securities of a series guaranteed by such Guarantee, in this
Indenture and in this Article XVII. If any Holder of Debt Securities of a series guaranteed hereby
or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or any Guarantor of
such Debt Securities, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in
relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor of such
Debt Securities to the Trustee or such Holder, this Article XVII, to the extent theretofore
discharged with respect to any Guarantee of such Debt Securities, shall be reinstated in full force
and effect. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in
relation to the Holders of Debt Securities of a series guaranteed hereby by such Guarantor in
respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby by such Guarantee until payment in full of all such
obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and
the Holders of Debt Securities of a series guaranteed hereby by such Guarantor and the Trustee on
the other hand, (i) the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as
provided in Article V hereof for the purposes of such Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby and (ii) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article V hereof such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by such Guarantor, jointly and severally with any other Guarantor of the Debt Securities of
such series, for the purpose of this Article XVII. In addition, without limiting the foregoing,
upon the effectiveness of an acceleration under Article V, the Trustee may make a demand for
payment on the Debt Securities of a series guaranteed hereby under any Guarantee provided hereunder
and not discharged.

     Any Guarantor of Debt Securities of a series guaranteed hereby who makes payment on any such
Debt Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article XVII shall have the right to seek
contribution from any non-paying Guarantors on such Debt Securities so long as the exercise of such
right does not impair the rights of the Holders of such Debt Securities under any Guarantee
provided hereunder.

Section 17.3. Execution And Delivery Of Guarantee.

     To evidence a Guarantee set forth in this Article XVII, the Guarantor hereby agrees that the
Guarantee, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, shall be executed on behalf of such
Guarantor by the manual or facsimile signature of its Chairman of the Board, its President or one
of its Vice Presidents and delivered to the Trustee in respect of each Debt Security authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee that is guaranteed by such Guarantee, and that a supplemental

79

 

indenture providing for such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its
Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents.

     Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to endorse the Guarantee notation on each such Debt Security. If an
officer whose signature is on the supplemental indenture or on the Debt Securities guaranteed
hereby no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Debt Security on which
a notation of the Guarantee is endorsed, such Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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

Section 17.4. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

     Each Guarantor and, by its acceptance of Debt Securities of the applicable series, each
Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such
Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or
state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such
Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article XVII shall be limited to the maximum amount as will,
after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from,
rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in
respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article XVII, result in the
obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance.

Section 17.5. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

     Except as provided in Section 17.6, no Guarantor of a series guaranteed by such Guarantor may
consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person)
another Person whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless:

     (a) subject to Section 17.6 hereof, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation
or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of
such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee, under the Debt Securities of each series guaranteed by such Guarantor, this
Indenture and such Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein; and

     (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.

     In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the
successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory
in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon such Debt Securities and the due and
punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by
the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the

80

 

Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor
Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon any of the
Debt Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee that are guaranteed by such Guarantee. All the Guarantees so issued shall
in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees
theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of
such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

     Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any
series of Debt Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a
Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 17.6. Releases.

     In the event (i) of a sale or other disposition by the Company, by way of merger,
consolidation or otherwise, of all of the capital stock of any Guarantor, or (ii) such Guarantor is
released or discharged from each guarantee and liens granted by such Guarantor with respect to all
of the Company’s obligations under all of its credit agreements and other indebtedness for borrowed
money other than obligations arising hereunder and any Debt Securities issued under this Indenture
which shall be simultaneously released, except discharges or releases by or as a result of payment
under such guarantees, then such Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under
its Guarantee. In the event of such release, such Guarantor shall promptly notify the Trustee in
writing.

     Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under a Guarantee shall remain liable for the
full amount of principal of and interest on the Debt Securities guaranteed by such Guarantor and
for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article XVII.

current information requirement; provided that the Company has provided the Trustee with an
Officers’ Certificate to that effect, and the Company may require from any Person requesting

acting on behalf of such an owner) may provide to the Trustee (and the Trustee will accept)
a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership at any time after the Restricted Period

Restricted Period). Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with
respect to such a beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such beneficial interest to be
exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, and
will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Note by
the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such
Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest.

     (iii) Notwithstanding subparagraph (ii) above, if after the Restricted Period any
Initial Purchaser owns a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note, such
Initial Purchaser may, upon written request to the Trustee accompanied by a certification as
to its status as an Initial Purchaser, exchange such beneficial interest for an equivalent
beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Note, and the Trustee will comply with
such request and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore
Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount
of such Permanent Offshore Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest.

     (iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any owner of a
beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Note shall not be entitled to receive
payment of principal or interest on such beneficial interest or other amounts in respect of

87

 

such beneficial interest until such beneficial interest is exchanged for an interest in
a Permanent Offshore Global Note or transferred for an interest in another Global Note or a
Certificated Note.

     (f) For so long as any of the Debt Securities remain outstanding and constitute “restricted
securities” under Rule 144, the Company and the Guarantors, if any, will, during any period in
which the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, furnish to the Holders
of such Debt Securities and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to

to produce this Certificate or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal
proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
