FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Alseres Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Maker”), promises to pay to Robert L
Gipson, or order, at the offices of Robert L. Gipson, c/o Ingalls & Snyder LLC, 61 Broadway, New
York, New York 10006 or at such other place as the holder of this Note may designate, the principal
sum of $100,000, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from time to
time outstanding at the rate of 7% per year until paid in full. All principal and accrued interest
shall be due and payable on demand of the Holder.

Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of
days elapsed. All payments by the Maker under this Note shall be in immediately available funds.

Every amount overdue under this Note shall bear interest from and after the date on which such
amount first became overdue at an annual rate which is two (2) percentage points above the rate per
year specified in the first paragraph of this Note. Such interest on overdue amounts under this
Note shall be payable on demand and shall accrue and be compounded monthly until the obligation of
the Maker with respect to the payment of such interest has been discharged (whether before or after
judgment).

In no event shall any interest charged, collected or reserved under this Note exceed the maximum
rate then permitted by applicable law and if any such payment is paid by the Maker, then such
excess sum shall be credited by the holder as a payment of principal.

All payments by the Maker under this Note shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and be free
and clear and without any deduction or withholding for any taxes or fees of any nature whatever,
unless the obligation to make such deduction or withholding is imposed by law. The Maker shall pay
and save the holder harmless from all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or
omission to make any such deduction or withholding required by law.

Whenever any amount is paid under this Note, all or part of the amount paid may be applied to
principal, premium or interest in such order and manner as shall be determined by the holder in its
discretion.

No reference in this Note to any guaranty or other document shall impair the obligation of the
Maker, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay all amounts under this Note strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Note.

The Maker agrees to pay on demand all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
incurred by the holder in enforcing the obligations of the Maker under this Note.

 

 

No delay or omission on the part of the holder in exercising any right under this Note shall
operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of such holder, nor shall any delay,
omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or any other right
on any future occasion. The Maker and every endorser or guarantor of this Note regardless of the
time, order or place of signing waives presentment, demand, protest and notices of every kind and
assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any
substitution, exchange or release of collateral, and to the addition or release of any other party
or person primarily or secondarily liable.

This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time or from time to time upon five days’ prior
written notice with the consent of the holder, with the giving of such consent to be in the sole
discretion of the holder. Any such prepayment shall be without penalty or premium.

None of the terms or provisions of this Note may be excluded, modified or amended except by a
written instrument duly executed on behalf of the holder expressly referring to this Note and
setting forth the provision so excluded, modified or amended.

All rights and obligations hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and this Note is executed as an instrument under seal.

and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to any such Board Resolution or in any
indentures supplemental hereto.

Resolution of the Company, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the
delivery of the Officers’ Certificate of the Company setting forth the terms of the series.

     Securities of any particular series may be issued at various times, with different dates on
which the principal or any installment of principal is payable, with different rates of interest,
if any, or different methods by which rates of interest may be determined, with different dates on
which such interest may be payable and with different redemption dates.

SECTION 2.02 Form of Securities and Trustee’s Certificate.

     The Securities of any series and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by
such Securities shall be substantially of the tenor and purport as set forth in one or more
indentures supplemental hereto or as provided in a Board Resolution of the Company and as set forth
in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company and the and may have such letters, numbers or other
marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or
engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or
regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which
Securities of that series may be listed, or to conform to usage.

SECTION 2.03 Denominations: Provisions for Payment.

     The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities and in the denominations of one
thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof, subject to Section 2.01(a)(12).
The Securities of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate
specified with respect to that series. The principal of and the interest on the Securities of any
series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be
payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender
for public and private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in
the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York. Each Security shall be dated the date of
its authentication. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
composed of twelve 30-day months.

     The interest installment on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the
Person in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment. In the event that any
Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption and the redemption date
is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such

7

 

Interest Payment Date, interest on such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of
such Security as provided in Section 3.03.

     Any interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted Interest”)
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the relevant regular record date by
virtue of having been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its
election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:

	 	(1)	 	The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on
Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special
record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in
the following manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Security and the
date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to
be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed
payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 nor 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 each Securityholder at his or her address as it
appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special
record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and
the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities
(or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special
record date.
	 
	 	(2)	 	The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any
Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the
Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such
manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

     Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution of the Company or one or more indentures
supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to

8

 

     Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this Section with respect to a
series of Securities with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either
the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date
established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment
Date is the first day of a month, or the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in
which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall
occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a
Business Day.

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

SECTION 2.04 Execution and Authentications.

     The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its President, or one of its Vice
Presidents, or its Treasurer, or one of its Assistant Treasurers, or its Secretary, or one of its
Assistant Secretaries, under its corporate seal attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant
Secretaries. Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile signature. The Company may use
the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been a President or Vice President thereof, or
of any Person who shall have been a Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer thereof, or of any Person who
shall have been a Secretary or Assistant Secretary thereof, notwithstanding the fact that at the
time the Securities shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have
ceased to be the President or a Vice President, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, of the Company. The seal of the Company may be in the form of
a facsimile of such seal and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the
Securities. The Securities may contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law,
stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     A Security shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose and shall not be entitled to any
benefit under this Indenture, in each case, until authenticated with a certificate of
authentication manually signed by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating
Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that the Security so
authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Security is entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by its President or any Vice President and
its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order
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 entitled to receive, and (subject to
Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form
and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

9

 

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

SECTION 2.05 Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

	 	(a)	 	Securities of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the
office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City and State of New York, for other Securities of such series of
authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, all
as provided in this Section. In respect of any Securities so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or
agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities of the same series
that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing
numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency
designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New
York, or such other location designated by the Company a register or registers (herein
referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the
transfers of Securities as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times
shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of
registering Securities and transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed
as authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”).
	 
	 	 	 	Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company
designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall
authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee
or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security
presented for a like aggregate principal amount.
	 
	 	 	 	All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as
provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the
Security Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the
registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.
	 
	 	(c)	 	No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of
Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial redemption of any series, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06,
Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer.

10

 

	 	(d)	 	The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the
transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the
Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending at the close of business on the
day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of
any series or portions thereof called for redemption. The provisions of this Section
2.05 are, with respect to any Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof.

SECTION 2.06 Temporary Securities.

     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or
typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in
the form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions,
insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined
by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company and be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and
with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without unnecessary delay the
Company will execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all
temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the
holders), at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City and State of New York, and the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or
agency shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount
of definitive Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect that
definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further notice from the Company.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.

     In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or
stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s
request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the
same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for
the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or
stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless,
and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company
and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s
Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security
and deliver the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon
the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security
that has matured or is about to mature shall become

11

 

mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute
Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of
a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the
Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of
destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the
destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

     Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall constitute
an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled
to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities
of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express
condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and
all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to
the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other
securities without their surrender.

SECTION 2.08 Cancellation.

     All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of
transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall
be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of
this Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the Trustee shall deliver
to the Company canceled Securities held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request the Trustee
may dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a
certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the
Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation.

SECTION 2.09 Benefits of Indenture.

     Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed
to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Securities any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant,
condition or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for
the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities.

SECTION 2.10 Authenticating Agent.

     So long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an
Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee shall have the
right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption
thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and
shall

12

 

be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All
references in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to
include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall
be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as
most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under
which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is
otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately.

     Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall)
terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility
of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor Authenticating Agent
acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment
hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder
as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.

SECTION 2.11 Global Securities

	 	(a)	 	If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that some or all of the
Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security, then the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04,
authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that (i) shall represent, and shall be
denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding
Securities of such series which are to be issued as a Global Security, (ii) shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by
the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv)
shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security may be transferred, in whole
but not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor
Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.”
	 
	 	(b)	 	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a
series may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in
Section 2.05, only to another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a
successor Depositary for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a
nominee of such successor Depositary.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if
at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good
standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, and a
successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within 90

13

 

	 	 	 	days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as
the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Securities
of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.05, the
Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive
registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such series
in exchange for such Global Security. In addition, the Company may at any time
determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a
Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply
to the Securities of such series. In such event the Company will execute and
subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the
Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in
authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global
Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities in
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global
Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive registered
form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c)
shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or
otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities
to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so
registered.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING

FUND PROVISIONS

SECTION 3.01 Redemption.

     The Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates
and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

SECTION 3.02 Notice of Redemption.

	 	(a)	 	In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as
the case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in accordance with the right
reserved so to do, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of
such redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing,
first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not
more than 90 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders
at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register unless a
shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is
mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively

14

 

	 	 	 	presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder receives the
notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Security
of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the
notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any
other Securities of such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption
of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption
provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company
shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with
any such restriction.

     Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption
price at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the
redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation and
surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid
as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue and that
the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Securities of a
series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed in
whole or in part shall specify the particular Securities to be so redeemed. In case any Security
is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion of
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date,
upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

	 	(b)	 	If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company
shall give the Trustee at least 30 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for
redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be
redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it
shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may provide for the
selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any
integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of a denomination
larger than $1,000, the Securities to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify
the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in
part. The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions
signed on its behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or
any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for
redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section,
such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such
paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be
given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case
may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or
extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any
notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section.

15

 

SECTION 3.03 Payment Upon Redemption.

	 	(a)	 	If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above
provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed
specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place
stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest
accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of
Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the
Company shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with

     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 any 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 3.05.
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.

SECTION 3.05 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

     The Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any Securities
previously called for redemption) and (ii) may apply as a credit Securities of a series that have

through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund

payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of
such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series, 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.

SECTION 3.06 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

     Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next

thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officers’
Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 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 3.02 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner
provided in Section 3.02. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities

appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands.

SECTION 4.03 Paying Agents.

	 	(a)	 	If the Company shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of
the Securities, other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such paying agent
to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section:

	 	(1)	 	that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities
of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any
other obligor of such Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto;
	 
	 	(2)	 	that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the
Company (or by any other obligor of such Securities) to make any payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series
when the same shall be due and payable;
	 
	 	(3)	 	that it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure
referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request
of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such
paying agent; and
	 
	 	(4)	 	that it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set
forth in this Indenture.

	 	(b)	 	If the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of
the Securities, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if
any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient with monies held by
all other paying agents to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so
becoming due on Securities of that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons
or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of
such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take
such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any series
of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if
any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with the paying agent a sum
sufficient to pay the principal (an premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such
sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal,
premium or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of this action or failure so to act.

	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) the agreement to
hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section
11.05, and (ii) 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

18

 

	 	 	 	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 and
conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying
agent; and, upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying agent
shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

SECTION 4.04 Appointment to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee.

     The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will
appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a
Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 4.05 Compliance with Consolidation Provisions.

     The Company will not, while any of the Securities remain Outstanding, consolidate with or
merge into any other Person, in either case where the Company is not the survivor of such
transaction, or sell or convey all or substantially all of its property to any other company unless
the provisions of Article X hereof are complied with.

of Default” means any one or more of the following events that has occurred and is
continuing:

	 	(1)	 	the Company defaults in the payment of any installment of
interest upon any of the Securities of that series, as and when the same shall
become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 90
days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period
by the Company in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental
hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this
purpose;

	 	(2)	 	the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of that series as and when the same
shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by
declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or
analogous fund established with respect to that series; provided, however, that
a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities in accordance with the
terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in
the payment of principal or premium, if any;

	 	(3)	 	the Company fails to observe or perform any other of its
covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in this Indenture
or otherwise established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or agreement that has been
expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more
series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 90 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” hereunder, shall have
been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or
to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding;

21

Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary
case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of

decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 consecutive days.

	 	(b)	 	In each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities of that
series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of
not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series
then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if
given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal (or, if any Securities of
that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms of that series pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(16)) of (and premium,
if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Securities of that
series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same hall
become and shall be immediately due and payable.
	 
	 	(c)	 	At any time after the principal of the Securities of that series shall have
been so declared due and payable, and before a judgment or decree for the payment of
the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then
Outstanding hereunder (or, by action at a meeting of holders of the Securities of such
series in accordance with Section 8.09, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding represented at such
meeting), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the

other than the nonpayment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on Securities of that series that shall have become due solely
because of such acceleration, shall have been remedied, cured or waived as provided in
Section 6.06. No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any
subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
	 
	 	(d)	 	In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to
Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any

22

 

	 		 	other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in
every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, and
the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights

	 	(a)	 	The Company covenants that (1) in case it shall default in the payment of any
installment of interest on any of the Securities of a series, or any payment required

the same shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a
period of 90 Business Days, or (2) in case it shall default in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of a series when the same

or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee,
the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities
of that series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due and payable on
all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the
case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the
extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue
installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that
series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover
the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under
Section 7.06.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the
Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and
empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection
of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to
judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the
Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of
the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series, wherever situated.

the Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in
such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the court and
shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of
claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Securities of such series allowed for
the entire amount due and payable by the Company under this Indenture at the date of
institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may become due and
payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other
property payable or deliverable on any

23

 

	 	 	 	such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to
the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy
or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Securities of such
series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Securityholders, to
pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.06.
	 
	 	(d)	 	All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any
of the terms established with respect to Securities of that series, may be enforced by
the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof
at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express
trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee
of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the
Securities of such series.

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

adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the rights of any holder
thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any
such proceeding.

which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any
kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and
premium, if any) and interest, respectively.

SECTION 6.04 Limitation on Suits.

     No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or
under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless (i) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written
notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such
series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; (ii) the holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding
shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in
its own name as trustee hereunder; (iii) such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee
such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred therein or thereby; and (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding
and (v) during such 60 day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities
of that series (or such amount as shall have acted at a meeting of the holders of Securities of
such series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture) do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with the request; provided, however, that no one or more of such holders may use this
Indenture to prejudice the rights of another holder or to obtain preference or priority over
another holder.

     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any other provisions of this
Indenture, the right of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or
redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by
accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and
holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee,
that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner
whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or
prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders
of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this
Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be
given either at law or in equity.

SECTION 6.05 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

	 	(a)	 	Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by
this Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent permitted by
law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available
to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise,
to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in
this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities.

25

 

	 	(b)	 	No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities
to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and
continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to
be a waiver of any such default or on acquiescence therein; and, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law to
the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as
shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

SECTION 6.06 Control by Securityholders.

     The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.01, 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 such series; provided,
however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture
or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Securities of any other series at the time
Outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.01. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01,
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good
faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so
directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The holders either (a) through the
written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any
series at the time Outstanding or (b) by action at a meeting of holders of the Securities of such
series in accordance with Section 8.09, by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of such series then Outstanding represented at such meeting, may on behalf of the
holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the performance of any of
the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such series
and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by the
terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a
sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been
deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)) and except in respect a provision
hereof which, under Section 9.02, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders
of each Outstanding Security affected; provided however that this Section shall not limit the right
of holders of Securities of a series to rescind and annul any acceleration as set forth in Section
6.01. Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all
purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such
series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. The
provisions which otherwise would be automatically deemed to be contained in this Indenture pursuant
to Section (316)(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are hereby expressly excluded from this
Indenture, except to the extent such provisions are expressly included herein.

SECTION 6.07 Undertaking to Pay Costs.

     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities by such holder’s
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in

26

 

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 an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of
Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment
of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after
the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.

	 	(a)	 	The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of a series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to
the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with
respect to the Securities of such series such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into
this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee
shall exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his own affairs.
	 
	 	(b)	 	No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from
liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own
willful misconduct, except that:

	 	(1)	 	prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events
of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred:

	 	(i)	 	the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall
with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by
the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be
liable with respect to the Securities of such series except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall
be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	in the absence of bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, the Trustee

27

 

	 	 	 	may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in
the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision
hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirement of this Indenture;

	 	(2)	 	the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee,
unless it shall be proved that the Trustee, was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;
	 
	 	(3)	 	the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding relating to the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this
Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; and
	 
	 	(4)	 	None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall
require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing
that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it
under the terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is
not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 7.02 Certain Rights of Trustee.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

	 	(a)	 	The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall
be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of
the Company, by the President or any Vice President and by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer thereof (unless other
evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);

28

 

	 	(c)	 	The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any
Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and in
reliance thereon;
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or
powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the
Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such
Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby;
nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a series of the Securities (that
has not been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to Securities of that series
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same
degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights
or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;
	 
	 	(f)	 	The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or
documents, unless requested in writing so to do by the holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the particular series
affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if
the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the
opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded
to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The
reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid
by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and
	 
	 	(g)	 	The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or
attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

SECTION 7.03 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

	 	(a)	 	The recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same.

29

 

	 	(b)	 	The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Securities.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company
of any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or
application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of
this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the use or application
of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee.

SECTION 7.04 May Hold Securities.

     The Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar.

SECTION 7.05 Moneys Held in Trust.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until
used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received,
but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it
may agree with the Company to pay thereon.

SECTION 7.06 Compensation and Reimbursement.

	 	(a)	 	The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall
be entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as
the Company, and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services
rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and
performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon
its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by
the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all
Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify
the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad
faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises.

30

 

	 	(b)	 	The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the
Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances
shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness
shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and
funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the
benefit of the holders of particular Securities.

SECTION 7.07 Reliance on Officers’ Certificate.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions
of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter
(unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the
absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee
for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture
upon the faith thereof.

SECTION 7.08 Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

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

SECTION 7.09 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder which
shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a
corporation or other Person permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least 50
million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State,
Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at
any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10.

SECTION 7.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

	 	(a)	 	The Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with
respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the
Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class postage

31

 

	 	 	 	prepaid, to the Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear
upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series
by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed
and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such
series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a
Security or Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a
successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may
deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

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

	 	(1)	 	the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section
7.08 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who
has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six
months; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or
	 
	 	(3)	 	the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be
adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy
proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed
or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the
Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Company may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and
one copy to the successor trustee, or, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is
stayed as provided herein, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder
of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that
holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

	 	(c)	 	The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
any series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to
such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a

32

 

	 	 	 	successor Trustee for such series with the consent of the Company.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of
this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee as provided in Section 7.11.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with
respect to the Securities of one or more series or all of such series, and at any time
there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular
series.

SECTION 7.11 Acceptance of Appointment By Successor.

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

33

 

	 	 	 	removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates 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, and each such
successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee,
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.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and
all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section, as the case may be.
	 
	 	(d)	 	No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such
acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder
by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and
addresses appear upon the Security Register. If the Company fails to transmit such
notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the
successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the
Company.

SECTION 7.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

     Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 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.

34

 

SECTION 7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company.

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

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

SECTION 8.01 Evidence of Action by Securityholders.

     Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may take any
action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver
or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders
of such majority or specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any
instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of
that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing.

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

SECTION 8.02 Proof of Execution by Securityholders.

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

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

35

 

	 	 	 	Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this
Section as it shall deem necessary.

SECTION 8.03 Who May be Deemed Owners.

     Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the
Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name
such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such
Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership
or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving
payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03)
interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor
any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 8.04 Certain Securities Owned by Company Disregarded.

     In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities
of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent of waiver under this Indenture, the
Securities of that series that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of
that series or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common
control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series shall be disregarded
and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the
purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction,
consent or waiver, only Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded. The Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be
regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and that
the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or
indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to
such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection
to the Trustee.

SECTION 8.05 Actions Binding on Future Securityholders.

     At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section
8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection
with such action, any holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be
included in the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing
written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such
action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder
of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and
owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor, on registration of
transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in

36

 

regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the holders of the majority or
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the
Trustee and the holders of all the Securities of that series.

SECTION 8.06 Purposes for Which Meetings May Be Called.

     A meeting of holders of any series of Securities 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 action provided by this Indenture to be made, given or taken by
holders of such series of Securities.

     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VIII, the Trustee may, during the pendency
of a Default or an Event of Default, call a meeting of holders of any series of Securities in
accordance with its standard practices.

SECTION 8.07 Call Notice and Place of Meetings.

	 	(a)	 	The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of holders of any series of
Securities for any purpose specified in Section 8.06 hereof, to be held at such time

meeting of holders of any series of Securities, setting forth the time and the place of
such meeting, in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting and the
percentage of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series which
shall constitute a quorum at such meeting, shall be given, in the manner provided in
Section 13.04 hereof, not less than 21 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed
for the meeting to holders of Outstanding Securities of such series.
	 
	 	(b)	 	In case at any time the Company, 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 8.06 hereof, by written request setting
forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the
Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the 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 specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the
place in The City of New York or Boston, Massachusetts for such meeting and may call
such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in paragraph (a) of
this Section.

SECTION 8.08 Persons Entitled To Vote at Meetings.

     To be entitled to vote at any meeting of holders of Securities of a given series, a Person
shall be (a) a holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series or (b) a Person

Securities of such series by such holder or holders. The only Persons who shall be

37

 

entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of holders 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 8.09 Quorum; Action.

     The Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of a given series shall constitute a quorum with respect to a meeting of holders of
Outstanding Securities of such series. In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time

but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

SECTION 9.03 Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

     Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or

indenture. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an Opinion of
Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is
authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article and that it is proper for
the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof; provided,
however, that such Opinion of Counsel need not be provided in connection with the execution of a
supplemental indenture that establishes the terms of a series of Securities pursuant to Section
2.01 hereof.

     Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage
prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to
the Securityholders of all series affected thereby as their names and addresses appear upon the
Security Register. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall
not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

of any such two-year period or, at the request of the Company, on a later date specified by the
Company; and thereupon the paying agent and the Trustee shall be released from all further
