     THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE NO. 1, dated as of May 17, 2006 (this “Supplemental Indenture
No. 1”), between DEAN FOODS COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws
of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), THE GUARANTORS listed on Schedule 1 to the
Indenture (as defined below) and THE BANK OF NEW YORK TRUST COMPANY, N.A., a national banking
association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

RECITALS:

     WHEREAS, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee are parties to an Indenture, dated as of
May 15, 2006 (the “Indenture”), relating to the issuance from time to time by the Company
of its Securities on terms to be specified at the time of issuance;

     WHEREAS, Section 3.01 of the Indenture provides that the Company may enter into a supplemental
indenture to establish the terms and provisions of a series of Securities issued pursuant to the
Indenture;

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue a series of Securities, and has duly authorized the
creation and issuance of such Securities and the execution and delivery of this Supplemental
Indenture No. 1 to modify the Indenture and provide certain additional provisions as hereinafter
described;

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto deem it advisable to enter into this Supplemental Indenture No. 1
for the purpose of establishing the terms of such Securities, providing for the rights, obligations
and duties of the Trustee with respect to such Securities and amending certain provisions of the
Indenture; and

     WHEREAS, all conditions and requirements of the Indenture necessary to make this Supplemental
Indenture No. 1 a valid, binding and legal instrument in accordance with its terms have been
performed and fulfilled by the parties hereto.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE 7.000% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2016

     Section 1.01 Title of Securities. There shall be a series of Securities designated
the “7.000% Senior Notes due 2016” (the “2016 Senior Notes”).

     Section 1.02 Limitation of Aggregate Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount
of the 2016 Senior Notes shall initially be limited to $500,000,000 (except for Securities

 

 

authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu
of, other Securities pursuant to Sections 2.02, 3.06, 3.07, 3.09, 9.05 or 11.07 of the Indenture).
The Company may, without the consent of the Holders of the 2016 Senior Notes, issue additional
Securities having the same interest rate, maturity date, CUSIP number and other terms (other than
issue date and issue price). Any additional Securities, together with the 2016 Senior Notes, will
constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture. No additional Securities may be
issued if an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing with respect to
the 2016 Senior Notes.

     Section 1.03 Principal Payment Date. The principal amount of the 2016 Senior Notes
outstanding (together with any accrued and unpaid interest) shall be payable in a single
installment on June 1, 2016, which date shall be the Stated Maturity of the 2016 Senior Notes.

     Section 1.04 Interest and Interest Rates. The rate of interest on each Security shall
be 7.000 % per annum, accruing from May 17, 2006, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and
December 1 of each year commencing December 1, 2006 until the principal thereof shall have become
due and payable, and until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for
payment. The amount of interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any partial period
shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on any 2016 Senior Note is
not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay). The interest installment so payable in respect of any Security, and punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the
person in whose name such 2016 Senior Notes (or one or more predecessor securities) is registered
at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day prior to such Interest Payment Date (the
“Record Date”). Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for in
respect of any 2016 Senior Note shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on
such Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name such 2016 Senior Notes (or one
or more predecessor securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date to
be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given
to the Holders of the 2016 Senior Notes not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or
be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the 2016 Senior Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

     Section 1.05 Place of Payment. The place where the 2016 Senior Notes may be presented
or surrendered for payment, where the 2016 Senior Notes may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demand to or upon the Company in respect of the 2016
Senior Notes and the Indenture may be served shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or
at the Company’s office or the Paying Agent’s office maintained for that purpose in the borough of
Manhattan, City of New York.

A-2

 

     Section 1.06 Redemption.

     (1) The Company may redeem the 2016 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from
time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of
such 2016 Senior Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the 2016 Senior Notes to be redeemed (not
including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted to
the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points as determined by the Reference Treasury Dealer,
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the 2016 Senior Notes to the Redemption Date.

     (2) Notice of redemption shall be given in accordance with Section 11.04 of the Indenture. If
less that all of the 2016 Senior Notes then Outstanding are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select
the particular 2016 Senior Notes or portions thereof in accordance with Section 11.03 of the
Indenture.

     (3) For the purposes of this Section 1.06 of Supplemental Indenture No. 1, the terms below are
defined as follows:

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury Security selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the 2016
Senior Notes to be redeemed.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the average of
five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and
lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains
fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

     “Independent Investment Banker” means Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, and their successors, or, if Citigroup Global Markets Inc.,
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC are unwilling or unable to select the
Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing
appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

     “Primary Treasury Dealer” means a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means any of (i) Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc. or their respective successors; provided, however, that if Citigroup Global Markets
Inc. or J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will
substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any one other Primary Treasury Dealer
selected by the Independent Investment Banker after consultation with the Company.

A-3

 

     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the
bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of
its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Independent Investment Banker at 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time), on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (1) the yield, under the heading
which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently
published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is
published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes
yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the
caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury
Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life, yields for the two
published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue will be determined
and the Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line
basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (2) if such release (or any successor release) is not
published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate
per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield-to-maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. The Treasury
Rate will be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date.

     Section 1.07 Denomination. The 2016 Senior Notes shall be issuable only in registered
form without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

     Section 1.08 Currency. Principal and interest on the 2016 Senior Notes shall be
payable in such coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

     Section 1.09 Form of 2016 Senior Notes; Global Security. The 2016 Senior Notes will
initially be issued in one or more permanent global securities substantially in the form set forth
in Annex A hereto, as a book-entry security.

     Section 1.10 Security Registrar and Paying Agent for the 2016 Senior Notes. The
Trustee shall serve initially as the Security Registrar and the Paying Agent.

     Section 1.11 Sinking Fund Obligations. The Company has no obligation to redeem or
purchase any 2016 Senior Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous requirement or upon the
happening of a specified event or at the option of a Holder thereof, except as described in Article
II, below.

2016, and to pay interest thereon from May 17, 2006 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually on June 1 and December 1 in each
year, commencing December 1, 2006, at the rate of 7.000% per annum, until the principal hereof is
paid or made available for payment. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Holder in
whose name this Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 15 or November 15 (whether or
not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.

     The Company will pay principal and, as provided above, interest in money of the United States
that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the
Company may pay principal and interest by its check payable in such money. It may mail an interest
check to a Holder’s registered address (as reflected in the Security

A-1

 

Register). If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the payment of principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business
Day as if made on the date such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on such payment for
the period from and after the Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date to the date of such payment on
the next succeeding Business Day.

     Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse
hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at
this place.

     Additional provisions of this Security are set forth on the other side of this Security.

1. Indenture.

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidence of
indebtedness (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter
specified, which series is initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000, all of
such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of May 15, 2006, as
supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of May 17, 2006 (as so supplemented, the
“Indenture”) among the Company, the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) and The Bank of New
York Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Capitalized
terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the
Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference
to the Trust Indenture Act. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred
to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. In the event of
any inconsistency between the terms of this Security and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of
the Indenture shall control.

     As provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series, which
different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different
times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption
provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may
be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture
provided or permitted. This Security is one of a series of Securities designated pursuant thereto
as the 7.000% Senior Note due 2016.

     The Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company.

     The Company may, subject to Article Four of the Indenture and applicable law, issue additional
Securities of any series under the Indenture.

2. Paying Agent, Calculation Agent and Registrar.

     Initially, the Trustee will act as authenticating agent, Paying Agent and Registrar. The
Company may change any authenticating agent, Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Company,
any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

3. Redemption.

     The Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time,
at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities
to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
principal of and interest on the Securities to be redeemed (not including any portion

A-4

 

of such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date) discounted to the redemption
date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the
Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points as determined by the Reference Treasury Dealer, plus, in each
case, accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities to the Redemption Date.

4. Holders’ Repurchase Option Following Change of Control.

     Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of the Securities will have the right
to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Securities pursuant to the
offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price (the “Change of Control
Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased, plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date (subject to the right of Holders of record on
the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

     Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will:

     (a) cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be sent at least once to the Dow
Jones News Service or similar business news service in the United States; and

     (b) send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of 2016
Senior Notes, at such Holder’s address appearing in the security register, a notice stating:

     (1) that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made
pursuant to the covenant entitled “Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of
Control” and that all Securities timely tendered will be accepted for payment;

     (2) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the repurchase date, which will be,
subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30
days nor later than 60 days from the date the notice is mailed;

     (3) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of Control (including
information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization after
giving effect to the Change of Control); and

     (4) the procedures that Holders of Securities must follow in order to tender their
Securities (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that such Holders must
follow in order to withdraw an election to tender Securities (or portions thereof) for
payment.

     The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of
Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and
otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of
Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn
under such Change of Control Offer.

A-5

indirectly, in the aggregate at least a majority of the total voting power of the
Voting Stock of such parent corporation); or

     (b) the sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition,
directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all the Property of the Company and

Stock of the Company is reclassified into or exchanged for cash, securities or other
Property, other than any such transaction where:

     (c) the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company is reclassified into or
exchanged for other Voting Stock of the Company or for Voting Stock of the Surviving
Person, and

     (d) the holders of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction own, directly or indirectly, not less than a majority of the Voting
Stock of the Company or the Surviving Person immediately after such transaction and
in substantially the same proportion as before the transaction; or

A-6

 

     (e) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the
beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors (together with any new
directors whose election or appointment by such Board or whose nomination for
election by the shareholders of the Company was approved by a vote of not less than
three-fourths of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the
beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously
so approved) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of
Directors then in office; or

     (f) the shareholders of the Company shall have approved any plan of liquidation

which shall at the time be owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company or one or
more Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, or by the Company and one or more Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, or any
similar business organization which is so owned or controlled.

5. Guarantees.

entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment, unless an abandoned property law
designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to
such money shall cease. In no event will interest accrue on such unclaimed monies.

9. Discharge Prior to Maturity.

     In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, if the Company deposits with the Trustee money

of the Securities of this series then outstanding and (b) any past or existing Default or Event of
Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least
a majority in principal amount of the Securities of this series then outstanding. Without notice to

may be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof, either in person
or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in
accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such instruments or record.
Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments or record or both (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the

Holder of a Global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests
in any such Global Security through such U.S. Depositary’s standing instructions and customary
practices.

appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders.

     (2) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing
referred to in this Section 104 may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine; and the
Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in
this Section.

     (3) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Registered Securities held by any
Person, and the date of the commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same, shall

demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may at its
option (but is not obligated to), by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act. If such a record date is fixed,
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Holders of Registered Securities of record at the
close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purpose of determining
whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed
as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the
Holders of Registered Securities shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

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

Section 105 Notices, etc. to Trustee and Company.

or filed with,

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

13

Section 106 Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.

     Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of Securities of all or any series of any event, such notice shall
be sufficiently given to Holders of Registered Securities of such series if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such event, at his
address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier
than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to
Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities given as provided
herein. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to
have been duly given or provided. In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service
or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such
notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient
notification for every purpose hereunder.

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

Section 107 Language of Notices.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election or waiver required or
permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that, if the Company so

copy in English to be provided to the Trustee).

Section 203 Securities in Global Form.

     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, the Securities
shall be issuable in permanent global form. If Securities of a series shall be issuable in
global form, any such Security may provide that it or any number of such Securities shall
represent the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series (or such lesser amount
as is permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that
the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be
increased or reduced to reflect exchanges, redemptions or transfer of beneficial interests from one
Global Security to another Global Security. Any endorsement of any Global Security to reflect the
amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Holders, of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such manner and by such Person or
Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered pursuant to Section
303 or Section 304 with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if

form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the
applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304 has been, or
simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to a Global Security
shall be in writing but need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officer’s Certificate and
need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to
this Indenture or any Securities, payment of principal of, any premium and interest on, and any
Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security in temporary or permanent global form shall be made
to the Person or Persons specified therein.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in the preceding
paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall treat as the
Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities as is represented by a Global Security in
the case of a Global Security in registered form, the Holder of such Global Security in registered
form.

     Each Global Security shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless otherwise
specified by the Depositary):

     “THIS DEBT SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER
REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS DEBT SECURITY
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO, OR REGISTERED OR EXCHANGED FOR SECURITIES

18

 

REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF, ANY
PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF AND NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE REGISTERED,
EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE. EVERY DEBT SECURITY AUTHENTICATED
AND DELIVERED UPON REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF, OR IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN LIEU OF, THIS DEBT
SECURITY SHALL BE A GLOBAL SECURITY SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT IN SUCH LIMITED
CIRCUMSTANCES.”

Section 303 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, one of its
Vice Chairmen, its President, its Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, one of its Vice Presidents or
other person authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company. The signature of
any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

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

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication and,
provided that the Board Resolution and Officer’s Certificate or supplemental indenture or
indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 301 and a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities have been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in
accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof and of such Securities shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall
be provided with, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall
be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate that contain
the statements required by Section 102 and shall also be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel
stating:

     (1) if the form or forms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form or forms have been established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (2) if the terms of such Securities have been, or in the case of Securities of a series that
are to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time, will be,
established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have
been, or in the case of Securities of a series that are to be authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee on original issue from time to time, will be, established in conformity with the provisions
of this Indenture, subject, in the case of Securities of a series that are to be authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time, to any conditions specified in such
Opinion of Counsel; and

     (3) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the
Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with
their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general
equity principles.

If such forms or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate
such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the
Trustee’s

23

 

own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all
Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to
deliver the Officer’s Certificate or Company Order otherwise required pursuant to such preceding
paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are
delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such
series to be issued. This paragraph shall not be applicable to Securities of a series that are
issued as part of a reopening pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 301.

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

     No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for in Section 202 or Section 612 executed by or on behalf of
the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized
officers. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to
the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such
Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 304 Temporary Securities.

     Pending the preparation of Definitive Securities, the Company may execute and deliver to the
Trustee and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided
in Section 303, temporary Securities in lieu thereof which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of
the Definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the
Company executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of
such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in the form of Global Securities.

     Except in the case of temporary Global Securities, which shall be exchanged in accordance with
the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities are issued, the Company shall cause Definitive
Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive
Securities of the same series and containing terms and provisions that are identical to those of
any temporary Securities, such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such Definitive
Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at an Office or Agency for such Securities,
without charge to any Holder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of Definitive Securities of authorized

24

 

denominations of the same series and containing identical terms and provisions. Unless
otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to a temporary Global Security,
until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Securities of such series.

Section 305 Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

     With respect to the Registered Securities of each series, if any, the Company shall cause to
be kept a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security
Register”) at an Office or Agency for such series in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered
Securities of such series and of transfers of the Registered Securities of such series.

     Such Office or Agency shall be the “Security Registrar” or “Registrar” for
that series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Securities, the Trustee shall be the initial Security Registrar for each series of Securities. The
Company shall have the right to remove and replace from time to time the Security Registrar for any
series of Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall be effective until a
successor Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities shall have been appointed by
the Company and shall have accepted such appointment by the Company. In the event that the Trustee
shall not be or shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, it
shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times.
There shall be only one Security Register for each series of Securities.

     A Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of
the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the
Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such
successor Depositary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as may be provided pursuant to Section
301, any Global Security or any beneficial interest therein shall be exchangeable for Definitive
Securities only if (i) the Depositary is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as
Depositary and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date
the Company is so informed in writing, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, (iii) the Company (subject to the procedures of the Depositary)
executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such Global Security shall
be so exchangeable or (iv) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such
Securities. If the holder of a Global Security or the beneficial owners of interests in a Global
Security are entitled to exchange such interests for Definitive Securities as the result of an
event specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the preceding sentence, the Company shall
promptly make available to the Trustee Definitive Securities in such form and denominations as are
required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and
in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, executed by
the Company. Such Global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the U.S. Depositary or
such other Depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto, and in
accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the U.S. Depositary or such other Depositary,
as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be
specified in the Company

25

 

Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be
exchanged, in whole or in part, for Definitive Securities as described above without charge. The
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such
surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of Definitive Securities of the same
series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be
exchanged; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed
and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such
Global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such Depositary or the U.S. Depositary, as the
case may be, or such other Depositary or U.S. Depositary referred to above in accordance with the
instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Registered portion of a Global Security is
exchanged for Definitive Registered Securities after the close of business at the Office or Agency
for such Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such
Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next Interest Payment
Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such
Office or Agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the
case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for
payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Definitive Registered Security, but shall be
payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the
Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

     The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Securities shall be effected
through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable
Procedures. Transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in the Global Securities also shall
require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more
of the other following paragraphs, as applicable:

     (1) Beneficial interests in any Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Global Security. No written
orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers
described in this subparagraph (1).

     (2) In connection with the transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in any Global Security
to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a different Global
Security, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar (i) an order
from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary in accordance with the
Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial
interest in another Global Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred
or exchanged and (ii) instructions given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing
information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase. Upon satisfaction
of all of the requirements for transfer or exchange of beneficial interests in Global Securities
contained in this Indenture and such Securities or otherwise applicable under the Securities Act,
the Trustee shall adjust the principal amount of the relevant Global Security(s) pursuant to this
paragraph.

26

 

     If any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security proposes to exchange such
beneficial interest for a Definitive Security or to transfer such beneficial interest to a Person
who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Security in the event of the occurrence of
any of the conditions set forth in the third paragraph of this Section 305, then, upon delivery to
the Registrar of (i) an order from a Participant or an Indirect Participant given to the Depositary
in accordance with the Applicable Procedures directing the Depositary to cause to be issued a
Definitive Security in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged
and (ii) instructions given by the Depositary to the Registrar containing information regarding the
Person in whose name such Definitive Security shall be registered to effect the transfer or
exchange referred to in clause (i), the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the
applicable Global Security to be reduced accordingly as described below, and the Company shall
execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order pursuant to Section 303, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Person designated in the instructions a Definitive Security in the
appropriate principal amount. Any Definitive Security issued in exchange for a beneficial interest
pursuant to this paragraph shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized
denomination or denominations as the Holder of such beneficial interest shall instruct the
Registrar through instructions from the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant.
The Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities
are so registered.

     A Holder of a Definitive Security may exchange such Security for a beneficial interest in a
Global Security or transfer such Definitive Securities to a Person who takes delivery thereof in
the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security at any time. Upon receipt of a request for
such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Definitive Security and
increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Security.

     At the option of the Holder, Definitive Securities of any series may be exchanged for other
Definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Definitive Securities to be exchanged at an
Office or Agency. Whenever any Definitive Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Definitive Securities which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Securities and such Holder’s compliance with the
provisions of this paragraph, the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive
Securities. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder shall
present or surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Securities duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder
or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. A Holder of Definitive Securities may transfer
such Securities to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Security. Upon
receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Definitive
Securities pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

27

 

     At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Security have been exchanged
for Definitive Securities or a particular Global Security has been redeemed, repurchased or
cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Security shall be returned to or retained and
cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 309. At any time prior to such cancellation,
if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who
will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security or for
Definitive Securities, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall
be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or
by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial
interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the principal amount of Securities
represented by such other Global Security shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall
be made on such Global Security by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee
to reflect such increase.

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

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

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, or redemption of
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge and any other expenses (including fees and expenses of the Trustee) that may be
imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Sections 304, 306, 905 and 1107 not involving any transfer.

     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection of Securities of like
tenor and the same series under Section 1103 for redemption and ending at the close of business on
the day of such selection, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in
part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered for repayment at
the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.

     The Registrar shall retain copies of all certificates, notices and other written
communications received pursuant to this Section 305. The Company shall have the right to inspect
and make copies of all such certificates, notices or other written communications at any reasonable
time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

28

 

     All certifications and certificates required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this
Section 305 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile, with an
original of such document to be sent promptly thereafter.

Section 306 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this
Section 306, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount
and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or to a Responsible Officer that such Security has been acquired
by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s request the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount
and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 306, in case any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in
its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

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

     Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost
or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such
series duly issued hereunder.

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

Section 307 Payment of Interest and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights to Interest and Certain
Additional Amounts Preserved.

     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to, any Registered Security which shall be payable, and are punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest.

29

 

     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to, any Registered Security which shall be payable, but shall not be
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security
(herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder
thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause
(1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Person in whose
name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be 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 such Registered 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 on or prior to the date of the proposed
payment, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to
such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not
less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the
receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify
the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall
cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Holder of such Registered Security (or a
Predecessor Security thereof) at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than
10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at
the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized
Newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such
publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of 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 Person in whose name
such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be 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 in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Security 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 payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.

     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular
series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, at the option of the Company, interest on
Registered Securities that bear interest may be paid by wire transfer in immediately available
funds if the Holder of the Registered Security has provided to the Company and the Trustee wire
instructions at least five Business Days prior to the applicable payment date or by check mailed to
the address of that Holder as it appears on the books of the Securities Registrar if

30

 

that Holder has not provided wire instructions; provided that any payment of principal (or
premium, if any) in respect of any Security will be made only upon presentation and surrender of
such Security at the applicable Office or Agency.

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

     In the case of any Registered Security of any series that is convertible, which Registered
Security is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the immediately succeeding
Interest Payment Date (other than any Registered Security with respect to which the Maturity is
prior to such Interest Payment Date), interest on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on
such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion, and such interest (whether or not
punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Registered
Security (or one or more predecessor Registered Securities) is registered at the close of business
on such Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, in the case of any Registered Security which is converted, interest with respect to which
the Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of such Registered Security shall not be
payable.

Section 308 Persons Deemed Owners.

     Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company,
the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such
Registered Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner of such Registered Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, any premium and (subject to Section 305 and
Section 307) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Registered Security and
for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Registered
Security shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary
shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, 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 Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the
Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests
of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.

Section 309 Cancellation.

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or
conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities, as well as Securities
surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be cancelled promptly by the

31

 

Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as
provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All
cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its
customary procedures.

Section 310 Computation of Interest.

     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, or in any Security, interest on
the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 311 CUSIP Numbers.

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

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 401 Satisfaction and Discharge.

     Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of
further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Order and the
Trustee, on receipt of a Company Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when

     (1) either

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

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

32

 

	 	(i)	 	have become due and payable, or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one
year, or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called
for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
expense, of the Company,

and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, (x) money in an amount
or (y) Government Obligations that 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, in the opinion of a nationally recognized Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, money
in the amount, or (z) a combination of (x) and (y) in an amount in the currency in which
such series of Securities are payable sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
including the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with
respect to such Securities then determinable, to the date of such deposit (in the case of
Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Maturity thereof, as the case may
be;

     (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company
with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series; and

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

     In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be
required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only
if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if
the other conditions thereto are met.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of
Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 403, if money, Government Obligations or a combination thereof shall have
been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series under
Section 304, Section 305, Section 306, Section 1002 and Section 1003, and the obligations of the
Company with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such Securities
as contemplated by Section 1004 (but only to the extent that the Additional Amounts payable with
respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts
pursuant to Section 401(1)(b)), and with respect to any rights to convert or exchange such
Securities into Common Stock or other securities, cash or other property shall survive such
satisfaction and discharge.

Section 402 Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

     (1) Unless pursuant to Section 301, either or both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of a
series under clause (2) of this Section 402 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities
of such series or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under clause (3) of this
Section 402 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such series, then such
provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 402 (with such modifications thereto
as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to
such Securities, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect
to such Securities, elect to have Section 402(2) or Section 402(3) be applied to such Outstanding
Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 402.

     (2) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(2) with
respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date the
conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 402 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to
have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities, which
shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of the Sections of this
Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all of its other
obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and
the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the
trust fund described in clause (4) of this Section 402 and as more fully set forth in such Section,
payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and
Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities when such payments are due, and any
rights of such Holder to convert or exchange such Securities into Common Stock or other securities,
cash or other property, (ii) the obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to such
Securities under Section 304, Section 305, Section 306, Section 1002 and Section 1003 and the
obligations of the Company with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such
Securities as contemplated by Section 1004 (but only to the extent that the Additional Amounts
payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional
Amounts pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) below), and with respect to any rights to convert or exchange
such Securities into Common Stock or other securities, cash or other property, (iii) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 402. The
Company may exercise its option under this Section 402(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its
option under clause (3) of this Section 402 with respect to such Securities.

     (3) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(3) with
respect to any Securities of or within a series, (i) the Company shall be released from its
obligations to comply with any term, provision or condition under Section 801 with respect to such
Securities (and, to the extent specified pursuant to Section 301, any other restrictive covenant
added for the benefit of such Securities) and (ii) unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section
301, the occurrence of any event specified in Section 501(7) shall not be deemed to be an Event of
Default, in each case on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this

34

 

Section 402 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities
shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with
any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder.
For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities,
the Company may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition
or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any covenant or by reason of reference in any such covenant to any
other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
default or an Event of Default under Section 501(4), Section 501(7) or otherwise, as the case may
be, insofar as it relates to Section 801 and, to the extent specified pursuant to Section 301, any
other restrictive covenant added for the benefit of such Security, but, except as specified above,
the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby; provided that the
obligations of the Company with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such
Securities as contemplated by Section 1004 shall remain unsatisfied only to the extent that the
Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect
of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) below; provided, further, that
notwithstanding a covenant defeasance with respect to Section 801, any Person to whom a sale,
assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made pursuant to Section 801, shall
as a condition to such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, assume
by an indenture supplemental hereto in form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed by such successor
Person and delivered to the Trustee, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section
607 and the second to the last paragraph of Section 402.

     (4) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or (3) of this Section
402 to any Outstanding Securities of a series:

     (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 608 who shall agree to
comply with the provisions of this Section 402 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for
the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and
dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (1) an amount in Dollars
or in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated
Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities (determined on the
basis of the Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated
Maturity) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof
in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of
any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities,
money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient,
without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of
a nationally recognized Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be
applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (y) the principal
of (and premium, if any) and interest or Additional Amounts then determinable, if any, on
such Outstanding Securities at the Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or
interest, provided that the Company shall

35

 

specify whether such Outstanding Securities are being defeased to Stated Maturity or to
the Redemption Date and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments
applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and
payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities.

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

     (c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would
become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit.

     (d) In the case of an election under clause (2) of this Section 402, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee
stating that

	 	(i)	 	the Company has received from the Internal Revenue Service a
letter ruling, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service a
Revenue Ruling, or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a
change in the applicable Federal income tax law,

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

     (e) In the case of an election under clause (3) of this Section 402, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to
the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain
or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times
as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

     (f) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant
defeasance under clause (2) or (3) of this Section 402 (as the case may be) have been
complied with.

     (g) If the 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.

36

 

     (h) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 402(4), such defeasance or
covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms,
conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith
pursuant to Section 301.

     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed
on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 402 or the
principal or interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge
which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities.

     Anything in this Section 402 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay
to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other
property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (4) of this Section 402
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount
thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance,
as applicable, in accordance with this Section 402.

Section 403 Application of Trust Money.

     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee
(solely for purposes of this Section 403, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to
collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 401 or Section 402 in respect of any Outstanding
Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional
Amounts, if any, for whose payment such money has or Government Obligations have been deposited
with or received by the Trustee; but such money and Government Obligations need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 404 Qualifying Trustee.

     Any trustee appointed pursuant to Section 402 for the purpose of holding trust funds deposited
pursuant to that Section shall be appointed under an agreement in form acceptable to the Trustee
and shall provide to the Trustee a certificate of such trustee, upon which certificate the Trustee
shall be entitled to conclusively rely, that all conditions precedent provided for herein to the
related defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with. In no event shall the Trustee
be liable for any acts or omissions of said trustee.

REMEDIES

Section 501 Events of Default.

     “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series,
means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body), unless such event is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental
indenture, Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate establishing the terms of such series pursuant
to this Indenture:

continue for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring
the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” shall have been given
to the Company by the Trustee, upon direction of Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series; provided, however, that if such failure is not capable of
remedy within such 60-day period, such 60-day period shall be extended by an additional 60 days so
long as (i) such failure is subject to cure, and (ii) the Company is using all commercially
reasonable efforts to cure such failure; and provided, further, that a failure to comply with any
such other agreement in the indenture that results from a change in GAAP shall not be deemed to be

Section 502 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of the definition thereof above occurs,
the principal of all Securities shall automatically become due and payable, anything contained in
this Indenture or the Securities of each series or established with respect to each series pursuant
to Section 301 to the contrary notwithstanding. If (a) upon the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of the definition thereof, the Company and the
Trustee receive notice in writing that Holders of not less than 25%, or (b) upon the occurrence and
continuance of any other Event of Default other than an Event of Default specified in clause (1),
(2), (5) and (6) of the definition thereof, the Company and the Trustee receive notice in writing
that Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of
that series have declared the principal of all Securities of that series to be due and payable
immediately, then upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and
payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Securities of that series or established
with respect to that series to the contrary notwithstanding.

     At any time after a declaration of acceleration or automatic acceleration with respect to the
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 hereafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice
to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul the declaration or automatic acceleration and
its consequences if:

     (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay (i)
all overdue installments of interest on all Securities of such series and any Additional Amounts
payable with respect thereto, (ii) the principal of and any premium on any Securities of the series
which have become due otherwise than by the declaration of acceleration or automatic acceleration
and interest thereon and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto at the rate or

39

 

rates borne by or provided in such Securities, (iii) interest upon overdue interest at the
rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities and (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the
Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the

     (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other than the
non-payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with
respect to, Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by the acceleration, shall
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

Section 503 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 Security, or any
Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto, when such interest or Additional Amounts shall
have become due and payable and such default continues for any cure period specified with respect
to such Security,

     (2) default is made in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, on, or any
Additional Amounts payable in respect of any principal of or premium, if any, on any Security at
its Maturity; or

     (3) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms
of any Security and such default continues for any cure period specified with respect to such
Security;

the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders
of such Securities, the whole amount of money then due and payable with respect to such Securities,
with interest upon the overdue principal, any premium and, to the extent that payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest and Additional
Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto,
such further amount of money 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 and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 607.

     If the Company fails to pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the
preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the money 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 Securities and collect the monies adjudged
or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any
other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

     If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee may, and if (a) an Event of Default specified in clause (1), (2), (5) or (6) of the
definition thereof occurs and is continuing, and Holders of not less than 25%, or (b) an

40

 

Event of Default other than an Event of Default specified in clause (1), (2), (5) or (6) of
the definition thereof occurs and is continuing, and Holders of not less than a majority, in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series direct, so long as such
Holders shall have provided the Trustee with such indemnity as it shall require and subject to the
provisions of Section 512, the Trustee shall, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 504 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

     (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided
for in the Securities of such series, of the principal and any premium, interest and Additional
Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as
may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents or
counsel) and of the Holders of Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities to make such
payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders of Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to 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 607.

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

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

Section 506 Application of Money Collected.

     Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on

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

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

     (2) (a) in the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (1), (2), (5) and (6), Holders
of not less than 25%, or (b) in the case of an Event of Default other than as specified in clause

Outstanding 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 satisfactory to it against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

42

 

     (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 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 or any Security to
affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any
other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and
ratable benefit of all such Holders.

Section 508 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and any Premium, Interest and
Additional Amounts.

and (subject to Section 305 and Section 307) interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect
to, such Security, on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities therefor specified in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the
option of such Holder if provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, on the date such repayment is
due) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be
impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 509 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

     If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security 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 each such Holder shall, subject to any determination in such
proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder shall continue as though no
such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 510 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

43

 

Section 511 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

Section 512 Control by Holders of Securities.

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

     (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or
with the Securities of any series and would not involve the Trustee in personal liability,

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

     (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders of Securities
of such series not joining in such action.

Section 513 Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

     (1) in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts
with respect to, any Security of such series, or

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

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

Section 514 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

     The Company covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company expressly waives (to

44

 

the extent that it may lawfully do so) all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been
enacted.

Section 515 Undertaking for Costs.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of any
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 515 shall not apply 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 Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to any Security on or
after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption,
on or after the Redemption Date, and, in the case of repayment, on or after the date for repayment)
or for the enforcement of the right, if any, to convert or exchange any Security into Common Stock
or other securities, cash or other property in accordance with its terms.

THE TRUSTEE

Section 601 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

     The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture

has actual knowledge with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (which has not been
cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture,
and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, with respect to such Securities, as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own
affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. Whether or not
therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section.

indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

herein, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct
in the performance of such action or act; and

47

 

     (17) the Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity with respect to any action

has actual knowledge with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the
Holders of Securities of such series entitled to receive reports pursuant to Section 703, notice of
such default hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer, unless such default shall have been
cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any), or interest, if any, on, or Additional Amounts or any sinking
fund or purchase fund installment with respect to, any Security of such series, the Trustee shall

series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given

advance as may be caused by the Trustee’s own negligence or willful misconduct; and

     (3) to fully indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and its agents,
officers, directors and employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability,
damage, claim or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), including taxes (other
than taxes based on the income of the Trustee), incurred without negligence or willful misconduct
on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust
or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against
any claim or liability (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder of Securities, or any other
Person) in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder.

     As security for the performance of the payment obligations of the Company under this Section,
the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any series upon all property and funds
held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal
of, and premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, particular Securities.
Such lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under
applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default or Event of
Default specified in Section 501(5) and 501(6) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for
the services (including the fees and expense of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute
expense of administration under U.S. Code, Title 11 or any other similar foreign, federal or state
law for the relief of debtors.

     Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, to the
extent permitted by law any compensation or expense incurred by the Trustee after a default

49

 

specified in or pursuant to Section 501 is intended to constitute an expense of administration
under any then applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law. “Trustee” for purposes of this
Section 607 shall include any predecessor Trustee but the negligence or willful misconduct of any
Trustee shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 607.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall the
Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever (including
but not limited to lost profits) even if the Trustee had been advised of the likelihood of such
loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

     The provisions of this Section 607 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall apply with equal force and
effect to the Trustee in its capacity as Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent or Security Registrar.

Section 608 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting Interests.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Corporation or a national banking
association, organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia, eligible under Section 310(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act to
act as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and that has a combined
capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of
at least $50,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.

     If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust
Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the
manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.
To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest

series or by virtue of being trustee under the Senior Indenture dated as of July 19, 1990, between
the Company and the Trustee, the Senior Indenture dated as of February 1, 1996, between the Company

Section 609 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     (1) 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 pursuant to Section 610.

     (2) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by
giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a

50

 

successor Trustee required by Section 610 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
30 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 such series.

     (3) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series,
delivered to the Trustee and the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
required by Section 610 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 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 such series. The Trustee for one or more series of Securities may be removed by the
Company, so long as no default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to
such series.

     (4) If at any time:

     (a) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Section
310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to Securities of any series after written
request therefor by the Company or any Holder of a Security of such series who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months, or

     (b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 608 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Company or any such Holder, or

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

      then, in any such case,

	 	(i)	 	the Company, by or pursuant to a Company Order, may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities or the Securities of such series, or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	subject to Section 515, any Holder of a Security who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all
Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Trustees.

     (5) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Company Order, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
or Trustees with respect to the Securities of such series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such
series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 610. If,

51

 

within one year after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such
vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of
Section 610, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that
extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders
of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 610, any Holder of a
Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may,
on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

     (6) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to the Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of such series as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.

     (7) In no event shall any retiring Trustee be liable for the acts or omissions of any
successor Trustee hereunder.

Section 610 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

     (1) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to all Securities,
such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and 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 hereunder of
the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring

desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, such successor Trustee all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is
not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed
necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the

52

 

retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the
retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood
that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of
the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and
apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee
shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the
part of any other Trustee hereunder, and, upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent
provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall have no further responsibility for the exercise of
rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under
this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, 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 with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company
or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates and
subject to Section 1003 shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the
extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
of such successor Trustee relates, subject to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 607.

     (3) Upon request of any Person appointed hereunder as a 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.

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

Section 611 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

     Any Corporation or national banking association into which the Trustee may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation or national banking association
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any Corporation or national banking association succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee by sale or otherwise, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such Corporation or national banking association shall otherwise be qualified
and eligible under this Article Six without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated but
not delivered by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation
to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so
authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities.

53

 

Section 612 Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

     The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents acceptable to the Company with
respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue, exchange,
registration of transfer, partial redemption or partial repayment or pursuant to Section 306, and
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid
and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference
is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication
and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

     Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Company and, except as provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture, shall at all times be a Corporation or national banking association
that would be permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act, is authorized under applicable law and by its charter to act as an
Authenticating Agent and has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section
310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000. If at any time an Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

     Any Corporation or national banking association into which an Authenticating Agent may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Corporation or national banking
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating
Agent shall be a party, or any Corporation or national banking association succeeding to all or
substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent,
shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such Corporation or
national banking association shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

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

54

 

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

     The provisions of Section 303, Section 601, Section 604 and Section 605 shall be applicable to
each Authenticating Agent.

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

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

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.,	 	 
	 	 	As Trustee	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	By:	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	As
	 	Authenticating Agent	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	By:	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	Authorized Officer	 	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Dated:	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 

	 	 

     If all of the Securities of any series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the
Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located
in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon
original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by Company Request (which writing need not be
accompanied by or contained in an Officer’s Certificate), shall appoint in accordance with this
Section (and subject to such procedures as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) an Authenticating
Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series
of Securities.

of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the
Company and the Trustee, the Company (when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution) and the
Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this
Indenture or of the Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental
indenture, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, shall

     (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any premium or installment of interest
on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof
or the rate (or modify the calculation of such rate) of interest thereon or any Additional Amounts
with respect thereto, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or otherwise, or change
the obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1004, or reduce the
amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a
declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to

60

 

Section 502 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 504, change the
redemption provisions or adversely affect the right of repayment at the option of any Holder as
contemplated by Article Thirteen, or change the Place of Payment for any Security or the Currency
in which the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to
any Security is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the date for
repayment); or

     (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series the
consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose
Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or reduce the
requirements of Section 1504 for quorum or voting; or

     (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 513 or Section 1005, except to
increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot
be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected
thereby; or

     (4) make any change that adversely affects the right to convert or exchange any Security into
or for Common Stock or other securities, cash or other property in accordance with the terms of
such Security.

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

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

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

Section 903 Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

ARTICLE TEN

COVENANTS

Section 1001 Payment of Principal, any Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts.

     The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of each
series that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, any premium and interest on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities of such series in accordance with the terms
thereof and this Indenture.

62

 

Section 1002 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an Office or
Agency where Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where
Securities of such series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or
exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such
series relating thereto and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such Office or Agency.
If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Office or Agency or shall fail
to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby
appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other Offices or Agencies where
the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes
and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an Office or
Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change
in the location of any such other Office or Agency.

     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company hereby designates as
the Place of Payment for each series of Securities the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
and initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. located at 4 New
York Plaza, 15th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attention: Worldwide Securities Services, as the
Office or Agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purpose.
The Company may subsequently appoint a different Office or Agency in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York for the Securities of any series.

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

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

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it
shall, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying

63

 

Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium,
interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of its failure so to act.

     The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of 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 shall:

     (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on
or any Additional Amounts with respect to 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
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture;

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

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

     The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay,
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by
the Trustee upon the same terms 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 sums.

     Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, 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, any
premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or any such premium or interest or any such
Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company
Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of
such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may at the expense of the Company either cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in
each Place of Payment for such series, or may cause to be mailed once to Holders of Registered
Securities of such series, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or
mailing nor later than two years after such principal and any premium or interest or Additional
Amounts shall have become due and payable, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will
be repaid to the Company.

64

 

Section 1004 Additional Amounts.

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

     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of the
applicable series, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at
least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities
(or if the Securities of such series shall not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on
which a payment of principal is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of
principal or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the
below-mentioned Officer’s Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the principal
Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate instructing the
Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and premium, if
any, or interest on the Securities of such series shall be made to Holders of Securities of such
series who are United States Aliens (as demonstrated by delivery of appropriate tax forms) without
withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the
Securities of such series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officer’s
Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments
to such Holders of Securities, and the Company agrees to pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent
the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants to
indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out
of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officer’s
Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section.

Section 1005 Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
condition specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series if the
Company shall have obtained or filed with the Trustee, prior to the time of such failure or
omission, evidence (as described in Section 104) of the consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders,
either waiving such compliance in such instance or generally waiving 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 so expressly 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.

65

 

Section 1006 Company Statement as to Compliance.

     (1) If any Securities are Outstanding under this Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a written statement (which need not be
contained in or accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate) signed by the principal executive officer,
the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer, stating that

     (a) in the course of the performance of his or her duties as an officer of the Company
he or she would normally have knowledge of any default by the Company in the performance of
the covenants contained in this Indenture, and

     (b) to his or her knowledge, the Company has complied with all the conditions and
covenants imposed on it under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a
noncompliance in the fulfillment of any such condition or covenant, specifying each such
noncompliance known to him or her and the nature and status thereof.

     (2) The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the Company’s compliance with the covenants
contained in this Indenture other than to receive written notices described in Section 1006(1).

ARTICLE ELEVEN

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 1101 Applicability of Article.

     Redemption of Securities of any series at the option of the Company as permitted or required
by the terms of such Securities shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and
(except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article.

Section 1102 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

     The election of the Company to optionally redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of the
Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by
the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of
such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In
the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (b) pursuant
to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such
Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s
Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

Section 1103 Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.

     If less than all of the Securities of any series with the same issue date, interest rate or
formula, Stated Maturity and other terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee

66

 

from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption on a pro
rata basis or by lot (whichever is consistent with the Trustee’s customary practice); provided,
however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a
Registered Security of such series not redeemed to less than the minimum denomination for a
Security of such series established herein or pursuant hereto.

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

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

     Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any series,
if any Security selected for partial redemption is converted into or exchanged for Common Stock or
other securities, cash or other property in part before termination of the conversion or exchange
right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such
Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities
which have been converted or exchanged during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be
treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

Section 1104 Notice of Redemption.

     Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the
Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by
mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Registered Securities designated for
redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof.

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

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

     (4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such
Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the

67

 

Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of
authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

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

     (6) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price and any accrued interest and Additional Amounts pertaining thereto,

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

     (8) in the case of Securities of any series that are convertible or exchangeable into Common
Stock or other securities, cash or other property, the conversion or exchange price or rate, the
date or dates on which the right to convert or exchange the principal of the Securities of such
series to be redeemed will commence or terminate and the place or places where such Securities may
be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and

     (9) the CUSIP number (or any other numbers used by a Depositary to identify such Securities).

     A notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 106 need not identify particular
Registered Securities to be redeemed.

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

Section 1105 Deposit of Redemption Price.

     At or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit, with respect to the Securities of any series called for redemption pursuant to Section
1104, with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the
applicable Currency sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date
shall be an Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 or in the
Securities of such series) any accrued interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to such
accrued interest, all such Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

Section 1106 Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company
at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest and

68

 

Additional Amounts to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, except as otherwise
specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Registered Securities of such series,
installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates therefor
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

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

Section 1107 Securities Redeemed in Part.

     Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any
Office or Agency for such Security (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security
without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, containing
identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered. If a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on behalf of the U.S. Depositary or other
Depositary for such Global Security as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto
to the Trustee, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in
exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered.

Section 1108 Repurchases on the Open Market.

     The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may at any time or from time to time repurchase
any of the Securities in the open market or otherwise. Such Securities may, at the option of the
Company or the relevant Affiliate of the Company, be held, resold or surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

ARTICLE TWELVE

SINKING FUNDS

Section 1201 Applicability of Article.

     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
Securities of a series, except as otherwise permitted or required in or pursuant to this Indenture
or any Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture.

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of
such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such

69

 

series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series
and this Indenture.

Section 1202 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

     The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect
to the Securities of any series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver
Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for
redemption or any of such Securities in respect of which cash shall have been released to the
Company) and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the
election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the
application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such
Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund
payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities of
any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 1202, the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to satisfy the remaining sinking fund payment
shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such series for redemption,
except upon Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent
and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or
such Paying Agent shall at the request of the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the
Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the
Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series purchased by the Company having an unpaid
principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to be released to the Company.

Section 1203 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

     Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities,
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1202, and the basis for such credit and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to
the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so credited and not theretofore delivered. If such Officer’s Certificate shall
specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment,
the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 60
days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause
notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in
the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly

70

 

given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated
in Section 1106 and Section 1107.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 1301 Applicability of Article.

     Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their
Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series. The
repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require
repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 309, shall not
operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee
with a directive that such Securities be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 1301, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company may
arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or
other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or
before the close of business on the repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price
payable by the Company on repayment of such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay
the repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment
is so paid by such purchasers.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

SECURITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

Section 1401 Applicability of Article.

     Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action by, or the determination of any of the
rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in which not all of such Securities are denominated
in the same Currency, or (ii) any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any
provision to the contrary pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular series,
any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be treated for any
such action or distribution as that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount on
such reasonable basis of exchange and as of the record date with respect to Registered Securities

     A meeting of Holders of Securities of any series may be called at any time and from time to
time pursuant to this Article to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided by this Indenture to be made, given or taken by
Holders of Securities of such series.

Section 1502 Call, Notice and Place of Meetings.

     (1) The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series for any
purpose specified in Section 1501, to be held at such time and at such place in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York. Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities 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, in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 21 nor
more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

     (2) In case at any time the Company (by or pursuant to a Board Resolution) or the Holders of
at least 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have requested
the Trustee to call a meeting of the Holders of Securities of such series for any purpose specified
in Section 1501, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be
taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed notice of such meeting within 21 days
after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as
provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series in the amount above
specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice
thereof as provided in clause (1) of this Section.

Section 1503 Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings.

     To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person shall
be (1) a Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series, or (2) a Person appointed by
an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders of one or more Outstanding Securities of
such series by such Holder or Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to
speak at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled to vote
at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any
representatives of the Company and its counsel.

Section 1504 Quorum; Action.

     The Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a
series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such series; provided,
however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent or waiver
which this Indenture expressly provides may be given by the Holders of a different percentage in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, the Persons entitled to

72

 

vote such percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall
constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any
such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such
series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than
10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In
the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further
adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior
to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting
shall be given as provided in Section 1502(1), except that such notice need be given only once not
less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice
of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above,
of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series which shall constitute a
quorum.

     Except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution presented to a meeting or
adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by
the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series; provided, however, that, except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any
resolution with respect to any consent or waiver which this Indenture expressly provides may be
given by the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a
series may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly convened and at which a quorum is
present as aforesaid only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of 66-2/3% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series; and provided, further, that, except as limited by the
proviso to Section 902, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act which this Indenture expressly provides may be
made, given or taken by the Holders of a different specified percentage, which is less than a
majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, may be adopted at a
meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by
the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series.

     Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series
duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such
series, whether or not such Holders were present or represented at the meeting.

Section 1505 Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.

     (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such
reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities of such
series in regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of
proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other
matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise
permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the
manner specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner
specified in Section 104. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing

73

 

proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified
in Section 104 or other proof.

     (2) 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 Securities as
provided in Section 1502(2), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series
calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons
entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
represented at the meeting.

     (3) At any meeting, each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one
vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities of such series held or represented by him;
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security
challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The
chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such
series or proxy.

     (4) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1502 at
which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting; and
the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

Section 1506 Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

     The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series
shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of
Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial
numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent
chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the
meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the permanent secretary of
the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A
record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series shall be prepared by the permanent secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to
said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and
affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice
of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1502 and, if
applicable, Section 1504. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the
permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the
Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached
thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive
evidence of the matters therein stated.
