the Trustee;

purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,

1.04 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

     (A) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Registered Securities of any event,
such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security, at his address as
it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date and not earlier than the
earliest date prescribed for the giving of such notice, and in the event of suspension of regular
mail service or for any other reason it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of
Registered Securities by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities shall be
made in the manner specified in 
Section 1.04(B) and such notification shall constitute sufficient
notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered
Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice
so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders of Securities or the sufficiency of any notice by publication
to Holders of Securities given as provided in Section 1.04(B).

     (B) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities, or where there
has been a suspension of regular mail service or for any other reason it is impracticable to give
notice to Holders of Registered securities by mail, such notice shall be sufficiently given if
published on a Business Day in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and, if the
Securities of such series are then listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom
and the Republic of Ireland, in London and, if the Securities of such series are then listed on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in Luxembourg and if the Securities of such series are then listed on
any other stock exchange outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, in any
other required city outside the United States, or, if not practicable in any required city, in
London, such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and not later than the latest
date prescribed for the giving of such notice. In case by reason of the suspension of publication
of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be
impracticable to publish any notice as provided in this Section 1.04(B), then such notification
shall be given in the manner reasonably approved by Trustee and shall constitute sufficient notice
to such Holders for every purpose under this Section 1.04(B). Neither failure to give notice by
publication as provided in this Section 1.04(B), nor any defect in any notice so published, shall
affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of Registered Securities as provided in
Section 1.04(A).

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

     (D) Any request, demand, authorization, notice, consent, election, waiver or other act
required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any
published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

     Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be obligated to make any payment in any
currency or currency unit other than the currency or currency unit tendered to, or recovered by,
the Trustee or such Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such tender or recovery is
made in other than the Required Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it considers
appropriate to exchange such other currency or currency unit for the Required Currency.

if other than the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is

3.02 Denominations.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of
Securities, and except as provided in Section 3.03, the Registered Securities of each series, if
any, shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and the

-16-

 

Bearer Securities of each series, if any, shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000.
Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or
in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Company executing the same may determine with
the reasonable approval of the Trustee.

3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer of the
Company. Such signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such
authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Any coupons
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of any such
authorized officer of the Company. If such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, the Parent
Guarantees to be endorsed on such Securities shall, unless otherwise provided as contemplated by
Section 3.01, be executed and delivered in accordance with Article XV.

     Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in
the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any
Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

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

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company (and, if such series is a
Guaranteed Series, with a Parent Guarantee endorsed thereon executed by the Guarantor) to the
Trustee for authentication. The Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities
to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by an Authorized Officer of the Company
(accompanied, if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, by a written order of the Guarantor,
signed by an Authorized Officer of the Guarantor, approving the terms and delivery of the Parent
Guarantees to be endorsed on such Securities), or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the
Trustee and such recipients, without any further action by the Company (or the Guarantor);
provided, however, that, in connection with its original issuance, a Bearer Security may be
delivered only outside the United States and only if the Company and the Guarantor or their
respective agent(s) shall have received from the person entitled to delivery of such Bearer
Security a certificate or certificates addressing such matters as may be reasonably requested by
the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and
the Trustee. 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
shall be fully protected in relying upon the documents specified in Section 314 of the Trust
Indenture Act, and in addition:

-17-

 

     (A) the instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and terms of the Securities
of such series (and, if such series is a Guaranteed Series, the Parent Guarantee to be endorsed
thereon), as provided in Sections 2.01 and 3.01;

     (B) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 1.02, which shall also state:

     (i) (1) the forms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Company, (2)
(if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series) the forms of the Parent Guarantees to be
endorsed thereon have been duly authorized by the Guarantor, and (3) the forms of the
Securities (and, if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, such Parent Guarantees)
have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (ii) (1) the terms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Company (and,
if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor), (2) (if such Securities
are of a Guaranteed Series) the terms of the Parent Guarantees to be endorsed thereon
have been duly authorized by the Guarantor, and (3) the terms of the Securities (and, if
such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, such Parent Guarantees) have been established
in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (iii) that the supplemental indenture, if any, establishing such series, when
executed and delivered by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, will constitute a
valid and legally binding obligation of the Company the Guarantor, subject, as to
enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’
rights, including, without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws, and to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law); and

     (iv) that such Securities (and, if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, the
Parent Guarantees endorsed thereon), when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
issued by the Company (and, if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor)
in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company (and, if such Securities
are of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor) entitled to the benefits provided by this
Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to
laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, including,
without limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law).

     The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver the Securities of such
series if the Trustee reasonably determines that such action may not lawfully be taken, would
expose the Trustee to personal liability or would add to the obligations and duties of the Trustee
hereunder in any material respect. In addition, prior to the authentication upon original issuance
of the first Security of a series to be issued, which is denominated in a Foreign Currency or
currency unit, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any

-18-

 

Securities of such series if the Trustee determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not
be able to properly fulfill its obligations hereunder in respect of such Securities or to do so
would be unduly burdensome to the Trustee.

     If the Company (and, if such series is a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor) shall establish,
pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 3.01, that the Securities of a series are to be issued in
whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 3.03, authenticate and deliver (and, if such
series is a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor shall endorse a Parent Guarantee thereon) one or more
Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated
in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered
form, in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Global Securities or the nominee of
such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such
Depositary’s instruction, and (iv) shall bear a legend to substantially the following effect:

“Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive
registered form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary to the nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to
the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any
such nominee to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor
Depositary.”

     Each Depositary designated pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 3.01 for a Global
Security in registered form to be delivered in the United States must, at the time of its
designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

     Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security
shall be dated as of the date specified pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 3.01.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.03, if all Securities of
a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the
Officers’ Certificate(s) otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the written order of the
Company (and, if applicable, of the Guarantor) and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant
to this Section 3.03 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if
such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first
Security of such series to be issued.

3.04 Temporary Securities.

     Pending the preparation of a permanent Global Security or definitive Securities of any series,
the Company may execute, and upon compliance with Section 3.03, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver (and, if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor shall endorse a Parent
Guarantee thereon), temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed
or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially

-19-

 

of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or,
if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing
such Securities and coupons may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities and
coupons. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary securities may be in global form,
representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

     If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities
(with, if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, Parent Guarantees endorsed thereon by the
Guarantor) of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. Except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Securities issuable as Bearer
Securities, (i) after the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary
Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series (with, if
such series is a Guaranteed Series, Parent Guarantees endorsed thereon) upon surrender of the
temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment
for such series and (ii) upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of
any series (accompanied by any unmatured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor (and, if such series is a
Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor shall endorse a Parent Guarantee thereon) a like principal amount
of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor;
provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a
temporary Security unless the Company and the Guarantor, or their respective agents, shall have
received from the person entitled to receive the definitive Bearer Security a certificate or
certificates addressing such matters as may be reasonably requested by the Company, the Guarantor
or the Trustee and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee;
provided further that delivery of a Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United States;
provided further that neither a beneficial interest in a permanent Global Security in bearer form
nor a definitive Bearer Security will be issued if the Company or the Guarantor has reason to know
that any such certificate is false. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this indenture as definitive
Securities of such series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with
respect to the payment of interest on Securities in temporary form. Such exchanges shall be made
by the Company at its expense and without any charge therefor.

3.05 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

     The Company shall cause to be kept for each series of Registered Securities at one of the
offices or agencies maintained in accordance with Section 5.02 a register or registers herein
sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register” in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of such Registered
Securities and of transfers of such Registered Securities. Said office or agency is hereby
appointed the “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering such Registered Securities and
transfers of such Registered Securities as herein provided.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at an
office or agency maintained in accordance with Section 5.02, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (and, if such series is a Guaranteed Series, the

-20-

 

Guarantor will endorse a Parent Guarantee thereon), in the name of the designated transferee or
transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity.

     In no case shall there be more than one Security Register for a series of Registered
Securities.

     At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series (except a Global Security)
may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series and of like tenor (with, if
such series is a Guaranteed Series, Parent Guarantees endorsed thereon), of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity, upon surrender of the
Registered Securities to be exchanged at an office or agency maintained in accordance with Section
5.02. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (and, if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, the
Guarantor shall endorse a Parent Guarantee thereon), the Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Bearer Securities may not be delivered in exchange for Registered
Securities, except with the consent, and in the sole discretion, of the Company and the Guarantor.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.05, unless and until it is exchanged in
whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Global Security representing all
or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary to the nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or
another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor
Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

     At the option of the Holder, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01
with respect to a Global Security issued in bearer form, Registered Securities may be issued in
exchange for Bearer Securities of the same series (if the Securities of such series are issuable as
Registered Securities) or Bearer Securities of any series may be issued in exchange for Bearer
Securities of the same series (if Bearer Securities of such series are issuable in more than one
denomination), of any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount
(with, if such Securities are if a Guaranteed Series, Parent Guarantees endorsed thereon), upon
surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at an office or agency maintained in accordance
with Section 5.02, with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto
appertaining; provided, however, that delivery of a Bearer Security shall occur only outside the
United States. If the Holder of a Bearer security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon
or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer
Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Guarantor in an
amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing
coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Guarantor if there be furnished to the
Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee such security or indemnity as the Company may require in its
sole discretion to save the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any Paying Agent harmless. If
thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon
in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive
the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02,
interest

-21-

 

represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an
office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a
Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a
Registered Security of the same series after the close of business at such office or agency on (i)
any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant
Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall
be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of
payment, as the case may be.

     If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series, or if at any time
the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 3.03,
the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Depositary with
respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such
series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or
becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 3.01(O) shall no
longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute
(and, if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor will endorse a Parent Guarantee
thereon), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Company for the authentication
and delivery of definitive Securities of such series (accompanied, if such Securities are of a
Guaranteed Series, by a written order of the Guarantor), will authenticate and deliver as specified
in such written order(s), Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series
in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

     The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any
series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such
Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Company will execute (and, if such Securities
are of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor will endorse a Parent Guarantee thereon), and the
Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Company (accompanied, if such Securities are of a
Guaranteed Series, by a written order of the Guarantor) for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver as specified in such written
order(s), Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange
for such Global Security or Securities.

     If specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary
for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in
exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are
acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute (and, if such
series is a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor will endorse a Parent Guarantee thereon), and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

     (A) to each Person specified by such Depositary, a new Security or Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person, in aggregate principal

-22-

 

amount equal to, and in exchange for, such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global
Security; and

     (B) to such Depositary, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if
any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal
amount of Securities so delivered to Holders thereof.

     In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will
execute (and, if such Securities are of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor will endorse a Parent
Guarantee thereon), and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver, Securities (i) in definitive
registered form in authorized denominations, if the Securities of such series are issuable as
Registered Securities, (ii) in definitive bearer form in authorized denominations, with coupons
attached, if the Securities of such series are issuable as Bearer Securities or (iii) as either
Registered Securities or Bearer Securities, if the Securities of such series are issuable in either
form; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a
temporary Global Security unless the Company and the Guarantor, or their respective agents, shall
have received from the person entitled to receive the definitive Bearer Security a certificate or
certificates addressing such matters as may be reasonably requested by the Company, the Guarantor
or the Trustee and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee;
provided further that delivery of a Bearer security shall occur only outside the United States;
provided further that no definitive Bearer Security will be issued if the Company or the Guarantor
as reason to know that such certificate is false.

     Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security
shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security
pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee
shall deliver such Registered Securities to the persons in whose names such Securities are so
registered. The Trustee shall deliver Bearer Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security
pursuant to this Section 3.05 to the persons, and in such denominations, as the Depositary for such
Global Security shall instruct the Trustee; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security
shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Global Security unless the Company and the
Guarantor, or their respective agents, shall have received from the person entitled to receive the
definitive Bearer Security a certificate or certificates addressing such matters as may be
reasonably requested by the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee and in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee; provided further that delivery of a
Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United States; provided further that no definitive
Bearer Security will be issued if the Company or the Guarantor has reason to know that any such
certificate is false.

     All Securities (and, if such Security is of a Guaranteed Series, Parent Guarantees) issued
upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the
Company (and, if such Security is of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor), evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities (and, if such Security is
of a Guaranteed Series, endorsed Parent Guarantees) surrendered upon such registration of transfer
or exchange.

-23-

 

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

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

     The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
Securities of any particular series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of selection of Securities of such series to be redeemed under Section 4.02 and
ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities
of such series selected for redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion
of any Registered Security being redeemed in part, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so
selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered
Security of that series (if the Securities of such series are issuable as Registered Securities),
provided that such Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for redemption with written
instruction for payment consistent with the provisions of this Indenture.

     Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee
against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s
Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States Federal or
state securities law.

     The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect
to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among
Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to
require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required
by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the
same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

     None of the Trustee nor any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, nor the Company or the
Guarantor, shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     If any mutilated Security, or a Bearer Security with one or more mutilated coupons
appertaining to it, is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute (and, if such Security
is of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor will endorse a Parent Guarantee thereon), and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security with, if Bearer Securities, all
coupons corresponding to the coupons surrendered with the surrendered Bearer

-24-

 

Security (including mutilated coupons), if any, of the same series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company (or, if the Security is of a Guaranteed Series, the
Guarantor) in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security or coupon, pay such Security or
coupon; provided, however, that principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on Bearer
Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02, be payable only at an office or
agency located outside the United States and unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
3.01, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender the
coupons appertaining thereto.

     Upon the issuance of any new Security or coupon under this Section 3.06, the Company or the
Guarantor may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Trustee) connected therewith.

     Every new Security or coupon of any series issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon (and, if such Security is of a Guaranteed Series, the
Parent Guarantee endorsed thereon) shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation
of the Company (and, if such Security is of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor, but only to the
extent provided in such Parent Guarantee), whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or
coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities or coupons of that
series duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful)
all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities or coupons.

-25-

 

3.07 Payment of Defaulted Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

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

     Any interest on any Registered Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record
Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor), at
its election, as provided in either clause (A) or (B) below:

     (A) The Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (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 Special Record Date shall be fixed in the
following manner. The Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) shall notify the Trustee in
writing as to the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of
such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company (or, if
applicable, the Guarantor) 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
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment,
such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record
Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less
than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and, unless otherwise agreed to by the
Trustee, 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 (and, if applicable, the Guarantor) of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company (or, if applicable, the
Guarantor), 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 Holder of Registered
Securities of such series at his 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 so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid
to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date. In
case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment
for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at
such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office
or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security
shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted
Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security
issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon
when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

-26-

 

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

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, each Security delivered under this
indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security
shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
other Security.

3.08 Persons Deemed Owners.

     The Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, and their respective agents, may treat the Person
in whose name any Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07)
interest, if any, on such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not
such Registered Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor nor the Trustee,
nor their respective agents, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     The Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, and their respective agents, may treat the bearer
of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer Security
or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bearer Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Guarantor nor the Trustee, nor their respective agents, shall be affected by notice to
the contrary.

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

3.09 Cancellation.

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or
for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking fund or analogous obligation shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly
cancelled by it. The Company and the Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or
the Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange
for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 3.09, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee,
and the Trustee shall, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Company and the Guarantor a
certificate of destruction in respect thereof.

-27-

 

3.10 Computation of Interest.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series,
any interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

3.11 CUSIP Numbers.

     The Company in issuing any Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and,
if so, the Trustee shall as a convenience use “CUSIP” numbers in notices to Holders; provided that
any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

IV. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS

4.01 Applicability of Right of Redemption.

     Redemption of Securities (other than pursuant to a sinking fund or analogous provision)
permitted by the terms of any series of Securities shall be made in accordance with such terms and
Sections 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Article IV, if any such terms of a series of Securities shall conflict with any provisions of
this Article IV, the terms of such series shall govern.

4.02 Election to Redeem; Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemption.

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by, or
pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate. In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to
redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities of any series in accordance with the
right reserved so to do, it shall give notice of such redemption to Holders of the Securities to be
redeemed as hereinafter provided in this Section 4.02.

     Any notice of redemption to be given to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed as a whole or
in part shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.04 not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the date fixed for redemption.

     Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption
price at which Securities are to be redeemed, shall state that the conditions precedent to such
redemption, if any, have occurred and describe the same, and shall state that payment of the
redemption price of the Securities to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to, but
excluding, the date fixed for redemption (except that if such redemption date is an Interest
Payment Date such interest due on such date with respect to a particular Registered Security shall
instead be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business
on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date), will be made at the office or agency to
be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 (or, if desired by the Company, at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee) upon presentation and surrender of

-28-

 

such securities and that from and after said date fixed for redemption any interest thereon will
cease to accrue, such Securities subject to such redemption shall cease to be outstanding and the
Holder(s) thereof shall have no rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the
redemption price upon such presentation and surrender. If less than all the Securities of a series
are to be redeemed, the notice to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed shall identify such
Holder’s securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part. In case any Security of a series is to
be redeemed in part only (which part shall be the minimum denomination of the Securities of such
series as set forth pursuant to Section 3.01 or a multiple thereof), the notice which relates to
such Securities shall state the portion of the principal amount to be redeemed, and that on and
after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of the
same series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof (with, if such series is a
Guaranteed Series, a Parent Guarantee endorsed thereon by the Guarantor) will be issued. No
Security whose denomination is the minimum denomination, as set forth pursuant to Section 3.01, of
principal amount may be redeemed in part.

     To the extent that the Securities of any series have different terms, the Company shall
designate the Securities to be redeemed if less than all of a series are to be redeemed (“Company
Designation”). If less than all the Securities of a series having the same terms are to be
redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee, not less than 10 days (or such lesser number of days
as the Trustee shall approve) prior to the date fixed by the Company for such redemption, written
notice of the aggregate amount of the Securities to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall
select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Securities
of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed (“Trustee Selection”), and shall thereafter
promptly notify the Company and any Paying Agent in writing of the Securities of such series or
portions thereof to be redeemed. Except in the event of a Company Designation or a Trustee
Selection, notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 1.04 need not identify
particular Securities to be redeemed.

     Any notice of redemption may be given by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.02 or may be
given, at the Company’s direction, which direction is delivered to the Trustee at least ten (10)
days (or such lesser number of days as the Trustee shall approve) prior to the date such notice is
to be given, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

4.03 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.

     If notice of redemption shall have been given in the manner provided in Section 4.02, the
Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the
date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with
interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, and on and
after such date of redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities
or portions thereof at the redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to,
but excluding, the date fixed for redemption) any interest on the Securities or portions of
Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Securities and portions of
Securities shall be deemed not to be outstanding hereunder and shall not be entitled to any benefit
under this Indenture except for the right of the Holder(s) thereof to receive, in accordance with
the next sentence, payment of the redemption price, together, if applicable, with accrued interest
thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender
of such

-29-

 

Securities, on or after the redemption date at the Place of Payment specified in the notice of
redemption, such Securities or specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company
at the applicable redemption price together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but,
excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that installments of interest on
Bearer Securities that mature on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable only at an office
or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02) and,
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, only upon presentation and surrender of
coupons for such interest; provided further that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01, installments of interest that mature on Registered Securities on or prior to the
redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

     If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant
coupons maturing after the redemption date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the
redemption price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender
of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent
any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have bean made from the redemption
price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that
interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the
United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02), and, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.01, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

     Upon presentation and surrender of any Security which is to be redeemed in part only, the
Company shall execute (and, if such Security is of a Guaranteed Series, the Guarantor shall endorse
a Parent Guarantee thereon) and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, at the
expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series of authorized denominations
in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so surrendered.

4.04 Deposit of Funds for Redemption of Securities.

     On or prior to the date fixed for redemption of any Securities as hereinbefore provided in
this Article IV, the Company shall deposit in trust with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent (or
if and to the extent that the Company shall be acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall
set aside, segregate and hold in trust) funds sufficient to redeem the Securities or portions
thereof to be redeemed on such redemption date, at the applicable redemption price, together with
interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

4.05 Applicability of Sinking Fund.

     Redemption of Securities permitted or required pursuant to a sinking fund for the retirement
of Securities of a series by the terms of such series of Securities established pursuant to Section
3.01 shall be made in accordance with such terms of such series of Securities

-30-

 

established pursuant to Section 3.01 and this Article IV; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article IV, if any such terms of a series of Securities shall
conflict with any provision of this Article IV, the terms of such series shall govern.

     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 mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 4.06.

4.06 Satisfaction of Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

     Subject to Section 4.07, in lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund
payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (i)
deliver to the Trustee Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the
Company, or (ii) receive credit for the principal amount of Securities of that series which have
been previously delivered to the Trustee by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the
Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional
sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities; provided, that such Securities have
not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose
by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be
reduced accordingly.

4.07 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Funds.

     Not less than 10 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of the
Company specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to
the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash
and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied through delivery and/or crediting of
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 4.06 and whether the Company intends to exercise its
right to make a permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. Such
certificate shall be irrevocable, and upon its delivery, the Company shall be obligated to make the
payment, delivery, and/or crediting therein referred to, if any, on or prior to such sinking fund
payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver such certificate, the sinking
fund payment due with respect to the next sinking fund payment date for that series of Securities
shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be made in an amount sufficient to redeem the principal
amount of such Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver
or credit Securities as provided in Section 4.06 and without the right to make any optional sinking
fund payment with respect to such series.

     Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash, plus any unused
balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash, which shall equal or exceed $100,000
(or the equivalent in Foreign Currency or currency units in which Securities of

-31-

 

the series are payable if applicable), or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request, with
respect to the Securities of any particular series, shall be applied by the Trustee, a Paying Agent
or the Company, if it acts as its own Paying Agent, on the sinking fund payment date next following
the date of such payment, to the redemption of such Securities at the redemption price specified in
such Securities for operation of the sinking fund together with accrued interest, if any, to the
sinking fund payment date. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated to the redemption
of Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee or such
Paying Agent or set aside and segregated by the Company for such series and, together with such
payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.07. Any and all
sinking fund moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee,
such Paying Agent or the Company on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Securities
of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities shall be applied
by the Trustee, such Paying Agent or the Company, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be
deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of principal of such Securities at maturity.

     Not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to each sinking fund payment date, the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in
accordance with Section 4.02. The Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date in the manner
provided in Section 4.02, except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Securities
of such series are being redeemed by operation of the sinking fund and the sinking fund payment
date. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made on the
sinking fund payment date upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 4.03.

     Prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or to a Paying
Agent in cash (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 5.05(B)) a sum equal to any interest accrued to, but excluding, the date fixed
for redemption of Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date
pursuant to this Section 4.07.

V. PARTICULAR COVENANTS

5.01 Payments of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest, if any.

     The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will
duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if
any, on each of the Securities of that series at the times and places and in the manner provided
herein and in the Securities of that series.

5.02 Office or Agency for Certain Purposes.

     The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or
agency where Securities of such series (but, except as otherwise provided below, unless such Place
of Payment is located outside the United States, not Bearer Securities) may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for

-32-

 

registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a
series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain, subject to any laws or
regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series that is
located outside the United States where Securities of such series may be presented and surrendered
for payment; provided, however, that such an office or agency shall be maintained, if the
Securities of such series are then listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom
and the Republic of Ireland and such stock exchange shall so require, in London, and, if the
Securities of such series are then listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such stock exchange
shall so require, in Luxembourg and, if the securities of such series are then listed on any other
stock exchange outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, in any other
required city, so long as the Securities of such series are listed on such exchanges. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location of,
any such office or agency.

     No payment of principal of or premium or interest on Bearer Securities shall be made at any
office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the
United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States;
provided, however, that payment of principal of and any premium and interest on any Bearer Security
may be made in Dollars at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, if (but only if) payment of the full amount of such principal, premium or
interest at all offices outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in
accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other
similar restrictions.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or
outside The City of New York) where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company
of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements sat forth
above. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

5.03 Maintenance of Corporate Existence and Payment of Taxes.

     The Company will preserve its corporate existence, but this covenant shall not require the
Company to continue its corporate existence in the event of a consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into any other corporation in accordance with the provision of Article XI hereof as
a result of which the Company shall lose its corporate identity, or in the event of a sale or
conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in
accordance with the provisions of said Article XI. The Company will duly and punctually pay and
discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or
levies imposed upon or assessed against the Company which are material to the Company; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall require the Company to pay any such tax, assessment,
charge or levy so long as the Company shall in good faith contest the

-33-

 

validity or the amount of the same by appropriate legal proceedings and stay any execution thereof.

5.04 Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office.

     The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will
appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a
Trustee hereunder.

5.05 Provisions as to Paying Agent

     (A) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee with respect to any
series of Securities, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee subject to this Section
5.05, that it will, in addition to fulfilling the duties provided in Section 317 of the Trust
Indenture Act, at any time during the continuance any such default, upon the written request of the

date) of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Securities of that series,
deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium, if any, or interest, if
any, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     (D) Anything in this Section 5.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company or the
Guarantor may, at its option, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and
discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other

by any Paying Agent hereunder, as required by this Section 5.05, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

     (E) Anything in this Section 5.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums
in trust as provided in this Section 5.05 is subject to Sections 12.04 and 12.05.

5.06 Annual Officers’ Certificate to Trustee.

     On and after the date (if ever) this Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, the

     (A) At any time the Rule 144A Provider is not subject to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act, the Rule 144A Provider shall provide to the Trustee and shall, upon request, provide to any
Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of Securities, the information required, if any,

VI. REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

6.01 Events of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default.

     Except as provided otherwise pursuant to Section 3.01 (or pursuant to a supplemental
indenture) with respect to such series, “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to
Securities of any series, means any one of the following events:

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

-35-

 

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

     (C) the default or breach of any material covenant or warranty of the Company (or, if such
series is a Guaranteed Series, of the Guarantor) in this Indenture (other than a covenant or
warranty a default in the performance of which or breach of which is elsewhere in this Indenture
specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the
benefit of one or more series of Securities other than such series) and continuance of such default
or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to
the Company and the Guarantor by the Trustee, or to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee by
the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then
outstanding hereunder, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be
remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, unless the Trustee, or
the Trustee and the Holders of a principal amount of Securities of such series not less than the
principal amount of Securities of such series the Holders of which gave such notice, as the case
may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of such period prior to its expiration; or

     (D) if a decree or order for relief shall be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in
respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Company’s affairs, and such decree or
order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

     (E) if the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the Company shall consent to the entry by order
of a court of competent jurisdiction of a decree or order in respect of the Company in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now
or hereafter in effect or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding against
the Company; or

     (F) if the Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit
in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall consent to the
appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or
of a substantial part of its property; or

     (G) the occurrence of any other Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series as
provided pursuant to Section 3.01 or in a supplemental indenture applicable to such series of
Securities pursuant to Section 10.01(D).

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs
and is continuing, then, unless the principal of the Securities of such series shall have already
become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing
to the Company and the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the
principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount

-36-

 

Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series)
of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Securities of such series to be due and
payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately
due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series contained to the
contrary notwithstanding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Event of Default
shall not be deemed to have occurred with respect to Securities of a series solely as a result of
the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to Securities of another series.

     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series
shall have been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due shall have been
obtained by the Trustee as herein provided, such declaration and its consequences shall, without
further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if:

     (a) the Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) shall have paid or deposited with the
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (1) all overdue interest, if any, on all Securities of such series
then Outstanding; (2) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities of such series then
Outstanding which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest
thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities; (3) to the extent that payment
of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor
in such Securities; and (4) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and

     (b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other than the
non-payment of the principal of Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by
such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.06.

     In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture for the
Holders of Securities of any series and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned
because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and
the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored respectively to their several
positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the proceedings had been
taken.

     The Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee may, to the extent provided in Section 10.01, enter
into one or more indentures supplemental hereto with respect to any series of the Securities which
may provide for additional, different or fewer Events of Default with respect to such series of
Securities. Additional, different or fewer Events of Default with respect to such series of
Securities may also be set forth pursuant to Section 3.01.

6.02 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt.

     The Company covenants that (i) in case a default shall be made in the payment of any
installment of interest on any of the Securities, as and when the same shall become due and
payable, and such default shall have continued for a period in excess of 30 days, or (ii) in case a
default shall be made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the
Securities when and as the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of

-37-

 

the Securities 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 such Securities,
the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on such Securities for principal and
premium, if any, and Interest, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if
any, of each such Security and (to the extent legally enforceable under applicable law) upon any
installments of interest, at the rate borne by such Security; and, in addition thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a
reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or
liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith.

     All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the
Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities of such series, or the production thereof on any trial or other proceeding relative
thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name
as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Securities of such series. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also
any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the
Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities
of a series, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Securities of such series
parties to any such proceedings.

     In case of an Event of Default hereunder with respect to Securities of a particular series,
the Trustee may, but, unless first requested so to do by the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding and furnished
with indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against all costs, expenses and liabilities, shall not
be under any obligation to, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this
Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by
proceedings 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. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of the Holder of any Security any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any
Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of any
Security in any such proceeding.

6.03 Application of Proceeds.

     Any money collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to Section
6.02 shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the
distribution of such moneys:

     FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses in connection with the collection of such
moneys, and all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and

-38-

 

     SECOND: To the payment of the entire amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities in
respect of which or for the benefit of which such moneys shall have been collected, without any
preference or priority, ratably according to the amounts due and payable upon such Securities upon
presentation of the several Securities and notation of such payment thereon, if partly paid, and
upon surrender thereof, if fully paid.

     Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor) or
to such other person as shall be entitled to receive it.

6.04 Limitations on Suits by Holders.

     Except as set forth in Section 316(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, no Holder of any Security of
any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself 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 such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the
continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of the series, and unless also the Holders of no
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then outstanding shall
have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity as it may require
against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for
60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to
institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written
request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and
intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security of such series with every
other Holder of Securities of such series and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of
Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing
itself of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb, prejudice the rights of the Holders
of any other of Securities or 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.

6.05 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     All powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Securities of any series shall, to the extant permitted by law and subject to Section 6.04, be
deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other such powers and remedies or of any other powers or
remedies available to the Trustee or such Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce
the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of the Securities of any series to exercise any
right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid, shall impair any
such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence
therein; and, subject to Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to
the Trustee or to such Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holders.

-39-

 

6.06 Control by Holders; Waiver of Default.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the
time outstanding 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 Securities of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall
not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture; provided further
that nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed
proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. The
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the
time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any
past default hereunder with respect to the securities of such series and its consequences, except
(i) a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of
the Securities of such series or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under
Section 10.02, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Security of such series affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Company, Guarantor, 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.

6.07 Undertaking for Costs.

     In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion
may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant; provided, however, that this Section
6.07 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, the Company or the Guarantor, a suit by a Holder
pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the
then Outstanding Securities of any series.

the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture;

     (J) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (excluding those contemplated by
Section 7.04), and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and

-42-

 

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

7.03 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Etc.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities or any Parent Guarantee endorsed thereon,
except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication and the representation as to the power of the
Trustee to enter into this Indenture and accept and execute the trusts hereby created, shall be
taken as the statements of the Company and the Guarantor, as applicable, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this indenture or of the Securities. 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.

7.04 Trustee and Others May Hold Securities.

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

7.05 Moneys Held by Trustee or Paying Agent.

     Subject to Sections 12.04 and 12.05, all moneys received by the Trustee or any Paying Agent,
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee
nor any Paying Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it
hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company (or, if applicable, the Guarantor). So long
as no Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred and be
continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time pursuant to,
and upon, the written order of the Company (or, if applicable the Guarantor), signed by an
Authorized Officer thereof. The provisions of this Section 7.05 shall not apply to the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent pursuant to Section 5.05(B).

7.06 Compensation of Trustee and Its Lien.

     The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee
shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall be agreed to from time to time by the
Company and the Trustee and which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
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. If any property other than cash shall at
any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by
a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the

-43-

 

supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled (but shall not be
required) to make advances from funds collected or held in trust by the Trustee as such for the
purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or
encumbrances thereon. The Company also covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee, any
predecessor Trustee or their agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantor
or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of the Trustee’s powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with the enforcement the
provisions of this Section 7.06, except to the extent that such loss, liability or expense is due
to their own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the Company need
not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnification.

     The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 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.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(E) or 
Section 6.01(F), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and
expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses
of administration under any applicable Bankruptcy Law.

     The provisions of this Section 7.06 shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

7.07 Right of Trustee to Rely on Certificate of Certain Officers.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, 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 any action hereunder, such
matter (unless other evidence in respect hereof 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 Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the
absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee
for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the
faith thereof.

7.08 Persons Eligible for Appointment As Trustee.

     The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation which complies with the requirements
of the Trust Indenture Act, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.08,
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its

-44-

 

combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section 7.08 or the
Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 7.09.

7.09 Resignation and Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Successor.

     (A) The Trustee, or any Trustee or Trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with
respect to any one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice to the Company and
the Guarantor and by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders of Securities in the manner
provided in Section 1.04. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to
the applicable series by written instrument executed by order of the Board of Directors of the
Company, 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 with respect to a
particular series 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, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or
Securities of the applicable series for at least 6 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 of the following shall occur:

     (i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.08 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company, the Guarantor or by any such
Holder, or

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

then, in any such case, the Company or the Guarantor may remove the Trustee with respect to the
applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case
may be, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to
the successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of
any such series for at least 6 months may, an behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition, any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if
any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with
respect to such series.

     (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 that series and

-45-

 

appoint with respect to such series a successor Trustee by delivering to the Trustee so
removed, to the successor Trustee so appointed and to the Company and the Guarantor, the evidence
provided for in Section 8.01 of the action taken by the Holders.

     (D) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee as provided in Section 7.10.

7.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee.

     Any successor Trustee appointed under Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Company, the Guarantor and to the predecessor Trustee with respect to any and all applicable
series an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed, or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
obligations with respect of such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company, the
Guarantor or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any such
amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts with respect to such
series of the Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon the reasonable request of any such successor
Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments in writing more fully
and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers. Any
Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or
collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 7.06.

     In the 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 Guarantor, the predecessor Trustee and each
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver
an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary
or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring
shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration
of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in
such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-Trustees of the same trust and that
each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust
or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.

     No successor Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall with
respect to such series be eligible under Section 7.08.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series, the Company shall give notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to the Holders of
Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.04. If the Company fails to give such

-46-

 

notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.

7.11 Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Trustee.

     Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without
the execution filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
provided that such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08 hereof
and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

7.12 Authenticating Agents.

     There may be an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents with respect to one or more
series of Securities appointed by the Trustee from time to time with power to act on its behalf and
subject to its direction in connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of such
series issued upon exchange, transfer or redemption thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as
though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized to authenticate and deliver
Securities, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and
shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as though authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.
For all purposes of this Indenture (except in the case of original issuance of Securities and the
issuance of Securities in replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Securities), the
authentication and delivery of Securities by an Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 7.12 shall be deemed to be the authentication and delivery of such
Securities “by the Trustee,” and whenever this Indenture provides (except in the case of original
issuance of the Securities and the issuance of Securities in replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated
or destroyed Securities) that “the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver” Securities, such
authentication and delivery by any Authenticating Agent shall be deemed be authentication and
delivery by the Trustee. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the
District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 and authorized
under such laws to act as an authenticating agent, duly registered to act as such, if and to the
extent required by applicable law and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or
District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of its condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 7.12 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If
at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 7.12, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
herein specified in this Section 7.12.

     Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the

-47-

 

Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible to act as such
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent or such successor
corporation.

     Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the
Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to
the Company and the Guarantor. Upon receiving such a notice or resignation or upon a termination,
or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12, the Trustee may appoint a successor
authenticating agent. Upon the appointment, at any time after the original issuance of any of the
Securities, of any successor, additional or new authenticating agent, the Trustee shall give
written notice of such appointment to the Company and the Guarantor and shall at the expense of the
Company give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to
which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner provided in Section 1.04. Any successor
authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment pursuant to the provisions of this Section
7.12 shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if initially appointed as an Authenticating Agent. No successor
authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible to act as such in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 7.12.

     Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of its appointment shall be deemed to have
represented to the Trustee that it is eligible for appointment as Authenticating Agent under this
Section 7.12 and to have agreed with the Trustee that:

     (A) it will perform and carry out the duties of an Authenticating Agent as herein set forth,
including, among other things, the duties to authenticate and deliver Securities when presented to
it in connection with exchanges, registrations of transfer or redemptions thereof;

     (B) it will keep and maintain, and furnish to the Trustee from time to time as requested by
the Trustee, appropriate records of all transactions carried out by it as Authenticating Agent and
will furnish the Trustee such other information and reports as the Trustee may reasonably require;
and

     (C) it will notify the Trustee promptly if it shall cease to be eligible to act as
Authenticating Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12.

     Any Authenticating Agent, by the acceptance of its appointment, shall be deemed to have agreed
with the Trustee to indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Trustee and to defend any claim asserted against the Trustee by reason of any acts or failures to
act of such Authenticating Agent, but such Authenticating Agent shall have no liability for any
action taken by it in accordance with the specific written direction of the Trustee.

     The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticated Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation and expenses for its services (to the extent such compensation is not paid by the

-48-

 

Company), and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments subject to the
provisions of Section 7.06.

     The provisions of Sections 7.03, 7.04 and 7.07 shall inure to the benefit of each
Authenticating Agent to the same extent that they inure to the benefit of the Trustee.

     If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 7.06,
the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

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

Citibank, N.A., as Trustee

By [full legal name of Authenticating Agent], as Authenticating Agent

	 	 	 	 	 
	By:

	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Authorized Signatory	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	Dated:
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 

7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims.

     If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor
upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act
regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities).

VIII. CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

8.01 Evidence of Action Taken by Holders.

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

-49-

 

8.02 Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities.

     Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.02 and 9.05 and Section 315 of the Trust Indenture
Act, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder 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:

     The fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved by the
certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be
recorded in any State within the United States, that the person executing such instrument
acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn
to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by an officer of a
corporation or association or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation, association
or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument may also be proved in any
other manner which the Trustee may deem sufficient.

     The ownership of Registered Securities may be proved by the Security Register or by a
certificate of the Security Registrar.

     The principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date
of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate
executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated,
if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date
therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer
Securities in the amount and with the serial numbers therein described; or such facts may be proved
by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate
or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee, the Company and the
Guarantor may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (i) another
certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is
produced, or (ii) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (iii)
such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (iv) such Bearer
Security is no longer Outstanding.

     The fact and date of execution of any such instrument or writing, the authority of the Person
executing the same and the principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by the
Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date of holding the same may also be proved
in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient; and the Trustee may in any instance require
further proof with respect to any of the matters referred in this Section 8.02.

     If the Company or the Guarantor shall solicit from the Holders of Securities of any series any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record
date for the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, but the Company and the
Guarantor shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the discretion
of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be. If such a record date is fixed,

-50-

 

such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act may be sought
or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Registered Securities of record
at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be the Holders of Registered
Securities for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities
of such series outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, and for that purpose the Registered
Securities of such series outstanding shall be computed as of such record date.

     Whenever any act is to be taken hereunder by the Holders of two or more series of Securities
denominated in different currencies or currency units, then, for the purpose of determining the
principal amount of Securities held by such orders, the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency (or any currency units) shall be deemed to be that
amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of
exchange for such Foreign Currency or such currency unit as determined by the Company or the
Guarantor, as the case may be, or by an authorized Exchange Rate Agent and evidenced to the Trustee
by an Officers’ Certificate of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, as of the date the
taking of such act by the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the Securities
is evidenced to the Trustee. An Exchange Rate Agent may be appointed in advance or from time to
time by the Company or the Guarantor. Any such determination by the Company or the Guarantor or by
any such Exchange Rate Agent shall be conclusive and binding on all Holders, the Company, the
Guarantor and the Trustee, and neither the Company, the Guarantor nor any such Exchange Rate Agent
shall be liable therefor in the absence of bad faith.

     The Trustee may require such additional proof, if any, of any matter referred to in this
Section 8.02 as it shall deem necessary.

     The record of any Holders meeting shall be proved as provided in Section 9.06.

8.03 Securities Owned by Company Deemed Not Outstanding.

     In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities
have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
act under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the
Securities or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or
indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except
that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, only Securities
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned as conclusively evidenced by
the Security Register shall be so disregarded. The Company shall furnish the Trustee, upon its
reasonable request, with a list of such other obligors and persons so controlling, controlled by or
under common control with the Company or such other obligors. Securities so owned which have been
pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.03, if the
pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee that the pledgee has the right to vote
such Securities and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common

-51-

 

control with the Company or any such other obligor. Subject to the provisions of Section 315 of
the Trust Indenture Act, 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.

8.04 Right of Revocation of Action Taken.

     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 percentage in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities or of any series of Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such
action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown, by evidence, to be included
in the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice
with the Trustee at its principal office 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 or in place
thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security
or any Security issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof. Any action taken by the Holders
of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in
connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Guarantor, the
Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities.

IX. HOLDERS’ MEETINGS

9.01 Purposes for Which Holders’ Meetings May be Called.

     A meeting of Holders may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to this Article
IX for any of the following purposes:

     (A) to give any notice to the Company or to the Trustee, or to give any directions to the
Trustee, or to waive or to consent to the waiving of any default hereunder and its consequences, or
to take any other action authorized to be taken by Holders pursuant to Article VI;

     (B) to remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee pursuant to Article VII;

     (C) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to
Section 10.02; or

     (D) to take any other action authorized to be taken by or on behalf of the Holders of any
specified aggregate principal amount of the Securities under any other provision of this Indenture
or under applicable law.

9.02 Call of Meetings by Trustee.

     The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of any series to be held at such time
and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Trustee shall determine
or, with the approval of the Company, at any other place. Notice of every meeting of

-52-

 

Holders, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action
proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given by the Trustee, in the manner provided in
Section 1.04, not less than 20 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting, to
the Holders of Securities of such series.

9.03 Company, Guarantor and Holders May Call Meeting.

     In case the Company, pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, the Guarantor,
pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of any series then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee
to call a meeting of Holders of such series, by written request setting forth in general terms the
action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the mailing of the
notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then the Company, the
Guarantor or the Holders of such Securities in the amount above specified may determine the time
and the place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (or, with the approval of the
Company, such other place), for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action
authorized in Section 9.01, by giving notice thereof as provided in Section 9.02.

9.04 Persons Entitled to Vote at Meeting.

     To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders, a person shall be (i) the Holder of one or
more Securities with respect to which such meeting is being held or (ii) a person appointed by an
instrument in writing as proxy for the Holder or Holders of such Securities by a Holder of one or
more such Securities. The only persons who shall be 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 and any
representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and the
Guarantor and their respective counsel.

9.05 Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meeting.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable
regulations as it may deem advisable for a meeting of Holders, in regard to proof of the holding of
Securities and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of
inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of
the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think
fit. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their
face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 8.02 or other proof.
Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall
be proved in the manner specified in Section 8.02 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved
in the manner specified in said Section 8.02 or by having the signature the person executing the
proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any bank, banker, trust company or firm satisfactory to the
Trustee.

     The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting,
unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or the Guarantor or by Holders as provided
in Section 9.03, in which case the Company, the Guarantor or the Holders calling the meeting, as
the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A

-53-

 

permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to
vote.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03, at any meeting, each Holder of a Security of the
applicable series or related proxy shall be entitled to vote with respect to the outstanding
Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be
counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the
chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding.

     The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Securities of
such series held by him or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him as the person
to vote on behalf of other Holders of such series. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to
Section 9.02 or 9.03 may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be held as so
adjourned without further notice.

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

9.06 Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meeting.

     The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of a series of Securities
shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of
Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the serial numbers and principal
amounts of the Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of
the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for
or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their
verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in triplicate of
the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting, and
there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote
by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting
forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in
Section 9.02 or 9.03. The record shall show the serial numbers of the securities voting in favor
of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the
permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting, and one of the triplicates shall be delivered to
the Company, another to the Guarantor and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee,
the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

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

     The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, the Guarantor, when authorized by a Board
Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto (which shall, but only to the extent applicable, conform to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as it shall be in force at the date of execution of such
indenture or indentures) for one or more of the following purposes:

     (A) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the
Securities any property or assets which the Company or the Guarantor may desire;

     (B) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company or the Guarantor, or
successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants,
agreements and obligations of the Company, pursuant to Article XI, or of the Guarantor, as the case
may be;

     (C) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Company or of the Guarantor such further
covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions for the protection of the Holders of the
Securities of all or any series as its Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for
the protection of the Holders of Securities of such series (and if such covenants, agreements,
restrictions or conditions are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities,
specifying the series to which such covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions are
applicable), and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any
such additional covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions a default or an Event of Default
permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as
herein set forth; provided, however, that, in respect of any such additional covenant, agreement,
restriction or condition, such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace
after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other
defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies
available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series to waive such default;

     (D) to add, delete or modify any Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the
Securities, the form and terms of which are being established pursuant to such supplemental
indenture as permitted in Sections 2.01, 3.01 and 3.03 (and, if any such Event of Default is
applicable to fewer than all such series of the Securities, specifying the series to which such
Event of Default is applicable) and to specify the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the
Holders of such Securities in connection therewith;

     (E) to prohibit the authentication and delivery of additional series of Securities, to cure
any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein in any supplemental
indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or in
any supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions
arising under this Indenture as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions

-55-

 

of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture and shall not adversely affect the interests
of the holders of the Securities in any material respect;

     (F) to establish the form and terms of the Securities (or any related Parent Guarantees) of
any series as permitted in Sections 2.01, 3.01 and 3.03, or to authorize the issuance of additional
Securities of a series previously authorized or to add to the conditions, limitations or
restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or purposes of issue, authentication or delivery of
the Securities of any series, as herein set forth, or other conditions, limitations or restrictions
thereafter to be observed; and

     (G) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series or to add to or change any of the provisions
of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the
trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.10.

     The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company and the Guarantor in the execution
of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations
which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage, or
pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such
supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise. In addition, the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any
supplemental indenture which provides for the issuance of Securities of any series denominated in a
Foreign Currency or currency unit, if the Trustee determines in its reasonable discretion that it
would not be able to properly fulfill its obligations hereunder and thereunder in respect of such
Securities or to do so would be unduly burdensome to the Trustee.

     Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 10.01 shall be
executed by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee and shall not require the consent of the
Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding Section 10.02.

10.02 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders.

     With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a
majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding,
the Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, the Guarantor, when
authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at
any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall, but only to the
extent applicable, conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as shall be in force at the
date of execution of such supplemental indenture or indentures) for the purpose, with respect to
Securities of such series, of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to Securities of
such series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such
series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity,
or the earlier optional date of maturity, if any, of any Security, or reduce the principal amount
thereof or the premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest, if any, thereon or make the principal thereof or premium, if any,

-56-

 

or interest, if any, thereon payable in any currency other than as provided pursuant to this
Indenture or such Security, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (ii)
reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series, the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Securities of
such series then outstanding.

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

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

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent shall approve the substance thereof.

     Promptly after the execution by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee of any supplemental
indenture under this Section 10.02, the Company shall give notice, setting forth in general terms
the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided
in Section 1.04. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

10.03 Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

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

10.04 Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures.

     Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article X or after any action taken at a Holders meeting
pursuant to the provisions of Article IX may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a notation
in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture or

-57-

 

as to any such action. If the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee shall so determine, new
Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company, the Guarantor
and the Trustee, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture
may be prepared by the Company or the Guarantor, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in
exchange for the Securities of such series then outstanding.

10.05 Opinion of Counsel to Be Given Trustee.

     The Trustee, subject to Section 7.02 and, to the extent applicable, Section 315 of the Trust
Indenture Act, shall receive an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers’ Certificate of the Company and
the Guarantor as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture is authorized by the
terms of this Indenture and that is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article X
to join in the execution thereof.

Person shall possess and from time to time may exercise each and every power hereunder of the
Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and may execute and deliver Securities or Parent

any applicable Parent Guarantee to the Holder of each Security authenticated and delivered
hereunder by its execution and delivery of each such Security, with such Parent Guarantee endorsed

EXHIBIT A

GUARANTEE

GUARANTEE, dated as of                     , of ELI LILLY AND COMPANY, a corporation organized under
the laws of Indiana (the “Guarantor”).

The Guarantor, for value received, hereby agrees as follows for the benefit of the holders of
record (the “Holders”) from time to time of the Securities hereinafter described:

     1. The Guarantor irrevocably guarantees payment in full, as and when the same becomes due and
payable (whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise),
of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the [title of securities] (the
“Securities”) issued by Eli Lilly Services, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation and an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Guarantor (the “Issuer”), from time to time pursuant to the
Indenture, dated as of August 9, 2005 as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from
time to time, among the Issuer, the Guarantor and Citibank, N.A. (the “Indenture”).

     2. The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee shall be unconditional, irrespective of
the validity or enforceability of any provision of the Indenture or the Securities.

     3. This Guarantee is a guaranty of the due and punctual payment (and not merely of collection)
of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities by the Issuer and
shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts have been validly, finally and irrevocably
paid in full, and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance or condition whatsoever,
including without limitation (i) the absence of any action to obtain such amounts from the Issuer,
(ii) any variation, extension, waiver, compromise or release of any or all of the obligations of
the Issuer under the Indenture or the Securities or of any collateral security therefor (provided,
however, that no such variation, extension, waiver, compromise or release shall, without the
consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Securities, or increase the
interest rate thereon, or change any redemption provisions thereof (including any change to
increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof), or change the stated maturity thereof) or
(iii) any change in the existence or structure of, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of, the Issuer
or by any other circumstance (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. The Guarantor
waives all requirements as to diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of any
kind with respect to the Indenture and the Securities.

     4. In the event of a default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if
any, on any Securities, the Holders of such Securities may institute legal proceedings directly
against the Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee without first proceeding against the Issuer.

     5. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the date upon which the entire
principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities have been, or have been
deemed pursuant to the provisions of Article XII of the Indenture to have been, paid in full or
otherwise discharged; provided, however, that this Guarantee shall be reinstated if at any time any
payment by the Issuer of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the

A-1

 

Securities, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Holder upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, all as though such payment had
not been made.

     6. This Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York.

     7. (a) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of the United States federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan.

          (b) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers National Registered
Agents, Inc., with offices at 875 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 501, New York, NY 10001, as its
designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and its
properties, service for any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be
served in any such action, suit or proceeding brought in the courts listed in Section 7(a) hereof
which may be made on such designee, appointee and agent in accordance with legal procedures
prescribed for such courts, with respect to any action, suit or proceeding in connection with or
arising out of this Guarantee. If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent hereunder
shall cease to be available to act as such, the Guarantor agrees to designate a new designee,
appointee and agent in the City of New York on the terms and for the purposes of this Section 7.
The Guarantor further hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to the service of any and all legal
process, summons, notices and documents out of any of the aforesaid courts in any such action, suit
or proceeding by serving a copy thereof upon the agent for service of process referred to in this
Section 7 (whether or not the appointment of such agent shall for any reason prove to be
ineffective or such agent shall accept or acknowledge such service) or by mailing copies thereof by
registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, to it at its address specified in or designated
pursuant to this Guarantee. The Guarantor agrees that the failure of any such designee, appointee
and agent to give any notice of such service to the Guarantor shall not impair or affect in any way
the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.
Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Holders of any Securities to
serve any such legal process, summons, notices and documents in any other manner permitted by
applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over the undersigned or bring actions, suits or
proceedings against the undersigned in such other jurisdictions, and in such other manner, as may
be permitted by applicable law. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid
actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee brought in the
courts listed in Section 7(a) and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees
not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

     8. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities against
the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Securities pursuant
to the provisions of this Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall
not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of
subrogation until the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities
shall have been paid in full.
