Exhibit 10.2

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     This Agreement, made and entered into this ___day of ___, ___(“Agreement”),
by and between Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CCO”), and
___(“Indemnitee”):

     WHEREAS, in light of the litigation costs and risks to directors resulting from their service
to companies, and the desire of CCO to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as
directors, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for CCO to indemnify and advance expenses on
behalf of its directors to the extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or
continue to serve CCO free from undue concern regarding such risks;

     WHEREAS, CCO has requested that Indemnitee serve or continue to serve as a director of CCO and
may have requested or may in the future request that Indemnitee serve one or more Outdoor Entities
(as hereinafter defined) as a director or in other capacities;

     WHEREAS, Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or
insurance provided by a Sponsor Entity or a Clear Channel Entity (as such terms are defined in
Section 15 of this Agreement), which Indemnitee, CCO and such other entities intend to be
secondary to the primary obligation of CCO to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with CCO’s
acknowledgement of and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s
willingness to serve as a director of CCO (or of any other Outdoor Entity); and

     WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve as a director of CCO on the condition that he be so
indemnified;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, CCO and
Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

     1. Services by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director of CCO.
Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position.

     2. Indemnification — General. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, CCO shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to,
and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, liabilities, losses, costs, Expenses (as hereinafter
defined) and other matters that may result from or arise in connection with Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status (as hereinafter defined) and shall advance Expenses to Indemnitee, in each case to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof, and to such greater extent
as applicable law may hereafter from time to time permit, notwithstanding that such indemnification
or advances are not specifically authorized by other provisions of this Agreement. The
indemnification obligations of CCO under this Agreement (a) shall continue after such time as
Indemnitee ceases to serve as a director of CCO or in any other Corporate Status and (b) include,
without limitation, claims for monetary damages against Indemnitee in respect of any alleged breach
of fiduciary duty, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law (including, if applicable,
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) as in existence on the date hereof and as
amended from time to time.

     3. Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of CCO. If by reason of
Indemnitee’s Corporate Status Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a
participant in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) other than a Proceeding by or in the right
of CCO to procure a judgment in its favor, CCO shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses,
liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest,
assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such liabilities,
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on
behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if
Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of CCO and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

     4. Proceedings by or in the Right of CCO. If by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any
Proceeding by or in the right of CCO to procure a judgment in its favor, CCO shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from
and against, all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in
connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of CCO; provided,
however, that indemnification against such Expenses shall be made in respect of any claim,
issue or matter in such Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be liable to CCO only if (and only to the extent that) the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought
or is pending shall determine that despite such adjudication of liability and in light of all
circumstances such indemnification may be made.

     5. Mandatory Indemnification in Case of Successful Defense. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status, a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense
of any Proceeding (including, without limitation, any Proceeding brought by or in the right of
CCO), CCO shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and
hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on
behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in defense of
such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all
claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, CCO shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of
Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of
this Section 5 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in
such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, on substantive or procedural grounds,
shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.

     6. Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement or otherwise to indemnification by CCO for some or a portion of the Expenses,
liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest,
assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such liabilities,
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf

2

 

of Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, but not,
however, for the total amount thereof, CCO shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify
Indemnitee for that portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.

     7. Indemnification for Additional Expenses Incurred to Secure Recovery or as Witness.

          (a) CCO will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to,
and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, any and all Expenses and, if requested by
Indemnitee, will (within twenty (20) calendar days of such request) advance such Expenses to
Indemnitee, which are reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action concerning
(i) indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by CCO under this Agreement, any other
agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of CCO as now or hereafter in effect; or
(ii) recovery under any director and officer liability insurance policies maintained by any Outdoor
Entity or Clear Channel Entity (as hereinafter defined) to the fullest extent permitted by law.

          (b) To the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, a witness in
any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, CCO will, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, indemnify Indemnitee with respect to, and hold Indemnitee harmless from and against, and CCO
will advance, all Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in
connection therewith.

     8. Advancement of Expenses.

          (a) CCO shall advance, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all Expenses reasonably
incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of any Proceeding within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt by CCO of a statement
or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior
to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such advances shall, in all events, be (i)
unsecured and interest free; and (ii) made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the
advances.

          (b) To obtain advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to CCO a
written request for advancement of Expenses and, to the extent required by applicable law, an
unsecured written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay any Expenses advanced if it
shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such
Expenses. Upon submission of such request for advancement of Expenses and (if applicable)
unsecured written undertaking, Indemnitee shall be entitled to advancement of Expenses as provided
in this Section 8, and such advancement of Expenses shall continue until such time (if any)
as there is a final judicial determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

     9. Establishment of a Trust. CCO shall, upon written request of a majority of
Affiliate Directors (as hereinafter defined), create a trust for the benefit of Indemnitee (the
“Trust”) following initiation of a Proceeding for which Indemnitee reasonably believes that
he or she may be entitled to indemnification by CCO under this Agreement. From time to time upon

3

 

written request of Indemnitee, CCO shall fund such Trust within ninety (90) days of such
request in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and all (a) Expenses reasonably anticipated at the
time of each such request to be incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such
Proceeding and (b) judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all
interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such
judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) in connection with such Proceeding
actually paid or claimed, reasonably anticipated or proposed to be paid, but, with respect to
amounts described in this clause (b), only to the extent such amounts would not reasonably be
expected to be fully paid by CCO’s director liability insurance coverage (including amounts below
the deductible of any such policy). The trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”) shall be a
bank or trust company or other individual or entity chosen by Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable
to CCO. The amount or amounts to be deposited in the Trust pursuant to the foregoing funding
obligation shall be determined by mutual agreement of Indemnitee and CCO. If the Affiliate
Director shall become a Non-Affiliate Director after the effective date of this Agreement, and CCO
and Indemnitee are unable to reach an agreement on the amount or amounts to be deposited in the
Trust pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation within a reasonable period of time not to exceed
ten (10) business days, then such amount or amounts shall be as mutually agreed by Indemnitee and
CC Media, or in the event that Indemnitee and CC Media are also unable to reach a mutual agreement
on such amount or amounts within a reasonable period of time not to exceed ten (10) business days,
then as determined by Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined). The terms of the Trust shall
provide that (a) the Trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded, without the
written consent of Indemnitee; (b) the Trustee shall advance, within twenty (20) calendar days of a
request by Indemnitee, any and all Expenses reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in
connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any Proceeding, any required
determination concerning the reasonableness of the Expenses to be made by the Independent Counsel
(and Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the Trust under the circumstances in which Indemnitee
would be required to reimburse CCO for Expenses advanced under Section 8(b) of this
Agreement); (c) the Trust shall continue to be funded by CCO in accordance with the funding
obligation set forth above; (d) the Trustee shall promptly pay to Indemnitee all amounts for which
Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) all unexpended
funds in the Trust shall revert to CCO upon a final determination by Independent Counsel or the
mutual agreement by CCO and Indemnitee that Indemnitee has been fully indemnified and held harmless
under the terms of this Agreement. The Trust shall be governed by Delaware law (without regard to
its conflicts of laws rules) and the Trustee shall consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
Delaware Court in accordance with Section 21 of this Agreement. Nothing in this
Section 9 shall relieve CCO of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

     10. Indemnification Procedures.

          (a) Notice of Proceeding. Indemnitee agrees to notify CCO promptly upon being served
with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating
to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses
hereunder. Any failure by Indemnitee to so notify CCO will relieve the CCO of its advancement or
indemnification obligations under this Agreement only to the extent CCO can establish that such
omission to notify resulted in actual prejudice to it, and the

4

 

omission to notify CCO will, in any event, not relieve CCO from any liability which it may
have to indemnify Indemnitee otherwise than under this Agreement.

          (b) Defense; Settlement. Indemnitee shall have the sole right and obligation to
control the defense or conduct of any claim or Proceeding with respect to Indemnitee. CCO will
not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which may be provided or withheld in
Indemnitee’s sole discretion, settle any claim or Proceeding, release any claim, or make any
admission of fact, law or liability or damages, or assign, pledge or permit any subrogation with
respect to the foregoing, or permit any Outdoor Entity to do any of the foregoing, to the extent
such settlement, release, admission, assignment, pledge or subrogation in any way adversely affects
Indemnitee or directly or indirectly imposes any expense, liability, damages, debt, obligation,
judgment, exposure or burden on Indemnitee and further, in the case of any release or settlement,
includes an unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any matters that are the
subject of such Proceeding and an acknowledgment that Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in
connection with such matters.

          (c) Request for Advancement; Request for Indemnification.

               (i) To obtain advancement of Expenses under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to CCO a
written request therefor, together with such invoices or other supporting information as may be
reasonably requested by CCO and reasonably available to Indemnitee, and, only to the extent
required by applicable law which cannot be waived, an unsecured written undertaking to repay
amounts advanced. CCO shall make advance payment of Expenses to Indemnitee no later than twenty
(20) days after receipt of the written request for advancement (and each subsequent request for
advancement) by Indemnitee.

               (ii) To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, at any time after submission of a request
for advancement pursuant to Section 10(c)(i) of this Agreement, Indemnitee may submit a
written request for indemnification hereunder. The time at which Indemnitee submits a written
request for indemnification shall be determined by the Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s sole
discretion. Once Indemnitee submits such a written request for indemnification (and only at such
time that Indemnitee submits such a written request for indemnification), a Determination shall
thereafter be made as provided in and only to the extent required by Section 10(d) of this
Agreement. In no event shall a Determination be made, or required to be made, as a condition to or
otherwise in connection with any advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 8 and
Section 10(c)(i) of this Agreement.

          (d) Determination. CCO agrees that Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest
extent permitted by law and that no Determination shall be required in connection with such
indemnification unless specifically required by applicable law which cannot be waived. In no event
shall a Determination be required in connection with indemnification for Expenses incurred as a
witness pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement or incurred in connection with any
Proceeding or portion thereof with respect to which Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or
otherwise. Any decision that a Determination is required by law in connection with any other
indemnification of Indemnitee, and any such Determination, shall be made within thirty (30) days
after receipt of Indemnitee’s written request for indemnification pursuant to

5

 

Section 10(c)(ii) and such Determination shall be made either (i) by the Disinterested
Directors, even though less than a quorum, so long as Indemnitee does not request that such
Determination be made by Independent Counsel, or (ii) if so requested by Indemnitee, in
Indemnitee’s sole discretion, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the CCO and
Indemnitee. If a Determination is made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to
Indemnitee shall be made within twenty (20) days after such Determination. Indemnitee shall
reasonably cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such Determination with respect to
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity
upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or
otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably
necessary to such Determination. Any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the
Disinterested Directors or Independent Counsel, as the case may be, making such Determination shall
be advanced and borne by CCO (irrespective of the Determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification) and CCO shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

          (e) Independent Counsel. In the event Indemnitee requests that the Determination be
made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 10(d) of this Agreement, the Independent
Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 10(e). The Independent Counsel shall
be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection by made by the Board
of Directors, in which event the Board of Directors shall make such selection on behalf of CCO,
subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 10(e)), and Indemnitee or CCO, as the
case may be, shall give written notice to the other, advising CCO or Indemnitee of the identity of
the Independent Counsel so selected. CCO or Indemnitee, as the case may be, may, within ten (10)
days after such written notice of selection shall have been received, deliver to Indemnitee or the
Company, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided,
however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent
Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in this
Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such
assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent
Counsel. If a written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected
may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of
competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20)
days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to
Section 10(c)(ii) of this Agreement, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and
not objected to, either CCO or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for
resolution of any objection which shall have been made by CCO or Indemnitee to the other’s
selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person
selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with
respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent
Counsel under Section 10(d) of this Agreement. Upon the due commencement of any judicial
proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 10(f) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel
shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the
applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). Any expenses incurred by
Independent Counsel shall be borne by CCO (irrespective of the Determination of Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification) and not by Indemnitee.

6

 

          (f) Consequences of Determination; Remedies of Indemnitee. CCO shall be bound by and
shall have no right to challenge a Favorable Determination. If an Adverse Determination is made,
or if for any other reason CCO does not make timely indemnification payments or advances of
Expenses, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence a Proceeding before a court of competent
jurisdiction to challenge such Adverse Determination and/or to require CCO to make such payments or
advances (and the Company shall have the right to defend its position in such Proceeding and to
appeal any adverse judgment in such Proceeding). Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified
for all Expenses incurred in connection with such a Proceeding and to have such Expenses advanced
by the Company in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement. If Indemnitee fails to
challenge an Adverse Determination, or if Indemnitee challenges an Adverse Determination and such
Adverse Determination has been upheld by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction from
which no appeal can be taken, then, to the extent and only to the extent required by such Adverse
Determination or final judgment, CCO shall not be obligated to indemnify or advance Expenses to
Indemnitee under this Agreement.

          (g) Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof. The parties intend and agree that, to
the extent permitted by law, in connection with any Determination with respect to Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification hereunder by any person, including a court:

               (i) it will be presumed that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement,
and CCO or any other Outdoor Entity or other person or entity challenging such right will have the
burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons
or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption;

               (ii) the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of CCO or other applicable Outdoor Entity,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that
Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful;

               (iii) Indemnitee will be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on
the records or books of account of any Outdoor Entity, including financial statements, or on
information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers, employees, or committees of the board of
directors of the applicable Outdoor Entity, or on the advice of legal counsel for the applicable
Outdoor Entity or for Indemnitee or on information or records given in reports made available to
the applicable Outdoor Entity by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or
other expert or advisor selected by the applicable Outdoor Entity or Indemnitee; and

               (iv) the knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or
employee of CCO or relevant enterprises will not be imputed to Indemnitee in a manner that limits
or otherwise adversely affects Indemnitee’s rights hereunder.

7

 

The provisions of this clause (g) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the
other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in this Agreement.

          (h) Indemnitee agrees to notify CCO promptly upon being served with any summons, citation,
subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter
which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered hereunder;
provided, however, that any failure of Indemnitee to so notify CCO will not relieve
CCO of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.

     11. Other Rights of Recovery; Insurance; Subrogation, etc.

          (a) The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this
Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be
entitled under applicable law, under the Outdoor Entities’ Certificates of Incorporation or
By-Laws, or under any other agreement, vote of stockholders or resolution of directors of any
Outdoor Entity, or otherwise. Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are present contractual
rights that fully vest upon Indemnitee’s first service as a director of CCO. No amendment,
alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right
of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in
Indemnitee’s Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a
change in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (or other applicable law), whether
by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than
would be afforded currently under the Outdoor Entities’ Certificates of Incorporation or By-Laws or
this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee enjoy by this Agreement the
greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred to or for the
benefit of Indemnitee is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy available to
Indemnitee, and every such other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every
other right and remedy of Indemnitee given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the Indemnitee’s concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

          (b) CCO shall promptly obtain and, during the time period Indemnitee serves CCO in a Corporate
Status, maintain in full force and effect directors’ liability insurance that shall:

               (i) be provided by an insurance company that is rated within the two highest categories by at
least two of any of the following independent rating agencies: A.M. Best Company, Inc., Fitch
Ratings, Moody’s Investor Services or Standard & Poor’s Insurance Ratings Services;

               (ii) provide Indemnitee at least the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most
favorably insured of the directors of any Clear Channel Entity;

8

 

               (iii) in the case of a director of CCO who is also a Sponsor Designee or a Mays Executive,
provide at least $15,000,000 of non-rescindable independent director liability coverage available
solely to such CCO directors (provided that CCO shall not be required to expend in the
aggregate in connection with the purchase of the coverage described in this clause (iii) an annual
premium in excess of 115% of the annual premium for such coverage in effect on the date of this
Agreement, and to the extent the annual premium for such coverage shall exceed such amount, CCO
shall obtain the maximum amount of coverage as is available for such amount); and

               (iv) not have any deductible or retention with respect to Indemnitee.

If, at the time CCO receives notice from any source of a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party
or a participant (as a witness or otherwise), CCO has director and officer liability insurance in
effect, CCO shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the respective policies. CCO shall thereafter take all necessary or
desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a
result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

          (c) If Indemnitee ceases to serve CCO in a Corporate Status for any reason, CCO shall procure
a run-off directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy with respect to claims arising from
facts or events that occurred before the time Indemnitee ceased to serve CCO in a Corporate Status
and covering Indemnitee, which policy, without any lapse in coverage, will provide coverage for a
period of six (6) years after the time Indemnitee ceased to serve CCO in a Corporate Status and
will provide coverage (including amount and type of coverage and size of deductibles) that is
substantially comparable to CCO’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy that was most
protective of Indemnitee in the twelve (12) months preceding the time Indemnitee ceased to serve
CCO in a Corporate Status (but in any event will provide coverage at least as protective as the
coverage required pursuant to Section 11(b) of this Agreement); provided,
however, that:

               (i) this obligation shall be suspended during the period immediately following the time
Indemnitee ceases to serve CCO in a Corporate Status if and only so long as CCO has a directors’
and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect covering Indemnitee for such claims that, if it
were a run-off policy, would meet or exceed the foregoing standards, but in any event this
suspension period shall end when a Change in Control occurs; and

               (ii) no later than the end of the suspension period provided in the preceding clause (i)
(whether because of failure to have a policy meeting the foregoing standards or because a Change in
Control occurs), CCO shall procure a run-off directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy
meeting the foregoing standards and lasting for the remainder of the six-year period.

          (d) In the event of any payment by CCO under this Agreement, CCO shall be subrogated to the
extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against any other Outdoor
Entity (other than any Clear Channel Entity or Sponsor Entity that might otherwise happen to fall
within the definition of Outdoor Entity hereunder), and Indemnitee hereby agrees, as a condition to
obtaining any advancement or indemnification from CCO, to

9

 

assign all of Indemnitee’s rights to obtain from such other Outdoor Entity such amounts to the
extent that they have been paid to or for the benefit of Indemnitee as advancement or
indemnification under this Agreement and are adequate to indemnify Indemnitee with respect to the
costs, Expenses or other items to the full extent that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or
other payment hereunder; and Indemnitee will (upon request by CCO) execute all papers required and
take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are
necessary to enable CCO to bring suit or enforce such rights against any such other Outdoor Entity
(except to the extent that such payment by CCO when taken together with any such amount actually
received from other Outdoor Entities or under director and officer insurance policies maintained by
one or more Outdoor Entities are inadequate to fully pay all costs, Expenses or other items to the
full extent that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or other payment hereunder).

          (e) CCO hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases, and
covenants and agrees not to exercise (and to cause each of the other Outdoor Entities not to
exercise), any rights that CCO may now have or hereafter acquire against any Clear Channel Entity
or Sponsor Entity that arise from or relate to the existence, payment, performance or enforcement
of CCO’s obligations under this Agreement or under any other indemnification agreement (whether
pursuant to contract, bylaws or charter), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation
(whether pursuant to contract or common law), reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or
indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Indemnitee against any Clear
Channel Entity or Sponsor Entity, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or
under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive
from any Clear Channel Entity or Sponsor Entity or Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, in cash or
other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim,
remedy or right.

          (f) CCO shall not be liable under this Agreement to pay or advance to Indemnitee any amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually
received such payment under any insurance policy, contract agreement maintained by any Outdoor
Entity; provided, however, that CCO hereby agrees that (relative to the Clear
Channel Entities, the Sponsor Entities and any insurance maintained by any of them), CCO (either
directly or through insurance maintained by CCO) is the indemnitor of first resort to provide
advancement or indemnification under this Agreement, under any similar agreement of any Outdoor
Entity or under any corporate charter, bylaw, similar governing document or other undertaking
(i.e., CCO’s obligations to Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other agreement or undertaking
to provide advancement and/or indemnification to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of any
Clear Channel Entity or Sponsor Entity (including any affiliate thereof other than an Outdoor
Entity) to provide advancement or indemnification for the same Expenses, liabilities, judgments,
penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other
charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, liabilities, judgments,
penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by Indemnitee is secondary to CCO’s
obligations), and (ii) if any Sponsor Entity (or any affiliate thereof other than an Outdoor
Entity) pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, any amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder or
under any other indemnification agreement (whether pursuant to contract, by-laws or charter) with
Indemnitee, then (x) such Sponsor Entity (or such affiliate, as the case may be) or Clear Channel
Entity (or affiliate) shall be fully subrogated to all rights of

10

 

Indemnitee with respect to such payment and (y) CCO shall fully indemnify, reimburse and hold
harmless (and shall cause the other Outdoor Entities to fully indemnify, reimburse and hold
harmless) such Sponsor Entity (or such other affiliate) or Clear Channel Entity, as the case may
be, for all such payments actually made by such Sponsor Entity, other affiliate or Clear Channel
Entity.

          (g) CCO’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee in respect of or
relating to Indemnitee’s service at the request of CCO as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary,
representative, partner or agent of any other Outdoor Entity shall be reduced by any amount
Indemnitee has actually received as payment of indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such
other Outdoor Entity, except to the extent that such indemnification payments and advance payment
of Expenses when taken together with any such amount actually received from other Outdoor Entities
or under director and officer insurance policies maintained by one or more Outdoor Entities are
inadequate to fully pay all costs, Expenses or other items to the full extent that Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification or other payment hereunder.

     12. Employment Rights; Successors; Third Party Beneficiaries.

          (a) This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between CCO and Indemnitee.
This Agreement shall continue in force as provided above after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a
director of CCO.

          (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon CCO and its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

     13. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each
portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the
extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the
parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such
provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or
unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

     14. Exception to Right of Indemnification or Advancement of Expenses. Except as
provided in Section 7(a) and Section 7(b) of this Agreement or as may otherwise be
agreed by CCO, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under
this Agreement with respect to any Proceeding brought by Indemnitee (other than a Proceeding by
Indemnitee (i) by way of defense or counterclaim, (ii) to enforce his or her rights under this
Agreement or (iii) to enforce any other rights of Indemnitee for indemnification, advancement or
contribution from CCO under any other contract, by-law, charter provision, statute or other law
including any rights under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law), unless the

11

 

bringing of such Proceeding or making of such claim shall have been approved by the board of
directors of CCO.

     15. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

          (a) “Affiliate Director” means a director of CCO who is also (i) an officer or
employee of CCO or any other Outdoor Entity; or (ii) a director, officer or employee of any Clear
Channel Entity; or (iii) who is otherwise a Sponsor Designee or a Mays Executive.

          (b) “Beneficial Owner” or “Beneficial Ownership” shall have the meanings set
forth in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (as hereinafter defined) as in effect on the
date hereof.

          (c) “Certificate of Incorporation” means, with respect to any entity, its certificate
of incorporation, articles of incorporation or similar governing document.

          (d) “Change in Control” means any of the following events:

               (i) The acquisition in one or more transactions by any “person” (as the term person is used
for purposes of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than the Clear Channel Entities
(as hereinafter defined), of Beneficial Ownership of shares representing at least a majority of the
total voting power of the Voting Stock (as hereinafter defined); or

               (ii) Consummation by CCO, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of (A) a
merger or consolidation involving CCO if the stockholders of CCO immediately prior to such merger
or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such merger or
consolidation, at least a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities
of the entity resulting from such merger or consolidation or (B) a sale, conveyance, lease,
license, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of a
majority or more of the assets or earning power of CCO.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall not be deemed to occur
solely because a majority or more of the total voting power of the Voting Stock is acquired by (A)
a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained
by CCO or any of its subsidiaries or (B) any corporation that, immediately prior to such
acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of CCO in the same proportion as
their ownership of stock in CCO immediately prior to such acquisition.

          (e) “Clear Channel Entities” means any one or more of (i) CC Media Holdings, Inc.
(“CC Media”); (ii) any corporation, partnership, joint venture, association or other entity
of which CC Media is the Beneficial Owner (directly or indirectly) of 20% or more of the
outstanding voting stock, voting power, partnership interests or similar voting interests; and
(iii) any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, association or other entity that is
controlled by CC Media, controls CC Media or is under common control with CC Media;
provided, however, that in no event shall “Clear Channel Entities” include
(A) CCO, (B) any corporation, partnership, joint venture, association or other entity of which CCO
is the Beneficial Owner (directly or indirectly) of 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock,
voting power, partnership interests or similar voting interests or (C) any other corporation,
partnership, joint venture,

12

 

association or other entity that is controlled by CCO. For purposes of this definition of
“Clear Channel Entities,” the term “control” (including the terms
“controlling,” “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the
possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
policies of an entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or
otherwise.

          (f) “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person in his or her capacity as a
director or officer of CCO (including, without limitation, one who serves at the request of CCO as
a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of any Outdoor Entity).

          (g) “Determination” means a determination that either (x) there is a reasonable basis
for the conclusion that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because
Indemnitee met a particular standard of conduct (a “Favorable Determination”) or (y) there
is no reasonable basis for the conclusion that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the
circumstances because Indemnitee met a particular standard of conduct (an “Adverse
Determination”). An Adverse Determination shall include the decision that a Determination was
required in connection with indemnification and the decision as to the applicable standard of
conduct.

          (h) “Disinterested Director” means a director of CCO who is not (at the time of the
vote) and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by
Indemnitee.

          (i) “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

          (j) “Expenses” shall mean all reasonable costs, fees and expenses and shall
specifically include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees
and costs of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs,
telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the
types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or
defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness, in, or otherwise participating in, a
Proceeding, including, but not limited to, the premium for appeal bonds, attachment bonds or
similar bonds and all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or
in respect of any such Expenses. Should any payment by CCO under this Agreement be determined to
be subject to any federal, state or local income or excise tax, “Expenses” shall also
include such amounts as are necessary to place Indemnitee in the same after-tax position (after
giving effect to all applicable taxes) as Indemnitee would have been in had no such tax been
determined to apply to such payments.

          (k) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, a member of a law firm or an independent
legal practitioner that (a) is experienced in matters of corporation law, (b) is reasonably
acceptable to Indemnitee and (c) neither contemporaneously is, nor in the five (5) years
theretofore has been, retained to represent (i) CCO or Indemnitee in any matter material to either
such party, (other than as Independent Counsel under this Agreement or similar agreements); (ii)
any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder; or (iii)
the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of CCO representing

13

 

five percent or more of the combined voting power of CCO’s then outstanding shares, unless
Indemnitee in its sole discretion waives any of the requirements set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) of this clause (c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel”
shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then
prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either CCO or Indemnitee in an action
to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

          (l) “Mays Executive” means either or both of Mark P. Mays and Randall T. Mays.

          (m) “Non-Affiliate Director” means a director of CCO who is not also (i) an officer or
employee of CCO or any other Outdoor Entity; or (ii) a director, officer or employee of any Clear
Channel Entity or (iii) a Sponsor Designee or Mays Executive; provided, however,
that a director of CCO who is also a Sponsor Designee or a Mays Executive shall be deemed to be an
“Affiliate Director” — and not to be a “Non-Affiliate Director” — as those terms
is used herein.

          (n) “Outdoor Entity” means CCO, any of its subsidiaries and any other corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise with respect to which Indemnitee serves as a director, officer, employee, partner,
representative, fiduciary or agent, or in any similar capacity, at the request of CCO.

          (o) “Proceeding” includes any actual, threatened, pending or completed action, suit,
arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing
or any other actual, threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the
right of CCO or otherwise and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative in nature,
in which Indemnitee was, is, may be or will be involved as a party, witness or otherwise, by reason
of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or by reason of any action taken by him or of any inaction on his
or her part while acting as director or officer of any Outdoor Entity (in each case whether or not
he is acting or serving in any such capacity or has such status at the time any liability or
expense is incurred for which indemnification or advancement of Expenses can be provided under this
Agreement).

          (p) “Sponsor Designee” means any person who is an officer, director, shareholder,
member, manager, partner or employee of any of: (i) Bain Capital Partners, LLC (“BCP”)
Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (“THL”), or (ii) any investment fund or management company
affiliated with either of those entities, or (iii) any Sponsor Entity (other than Sponsor Entities
that are comprised solely of Clear Channel Entities or Outdoor Entities), or (iv) any successor to
any of the foregoing entities.

          (q) “Sponsor Entity” means any one or more of (i) BCP; (ii) THL; (iii) any
corporation, partnership, joint venture, association or other entity of which BCP or THL is
(directly or indirectly, and whether individually or in the aggregate) the Beneficial Owner
(including, without limitation, ownership through one or more investment funds or other entities
that are controlled by, controlling or under common control with BCP or THL or any of their
respective affiliates) of 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock, voting power, partnership
interests or similar voting interests; and (iv) any other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
association or other entity that is controlled by BCP or THL, controls BCP or THL or is under

14

 

common control with BCP or THL (whether individually or collectively); provided,
however, that for purposes hereof in no event shall “Sponsor Entities” include (A)
CCO or any other Outdoor Entity, (B) any Clear Channel Entity. For purposes of this definition of
“Sponsor Entity,” the term “control” (including the terms “controlling,”
“controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, direct or
indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of an
entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

          (r) “Voting Stock” means the shares of all classes of the then-outstanding capital
stock of CCO entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

     16. Construction. Whenever required by the context, as used in this Agreement the
singular number shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and all words
herein in any gender shall be deemed to include (as appropriate) the masculine, feminine and neuter
genders.

     17. Reliance; Integration.

          (a) CCO expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the
obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to continue to serve as a director
of CCO, and CCO acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a
director of CCO.

          (b) Subject to Section 11(a), this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between CCO and
Indemnitee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, oral, written and implied, between CCO and Indemnitee with respect to the subject
matter hereof; provided, however, that (i) nothing herein is intended or shall be
construed to limit any rights that the Indemnitee may have under any other agreement or instrument
(including, without limitation, any charter, by-law or other governing document of, or any
agreement with, any Outdoor Entity or any Clear Channel Entity) and (ii) in the event of any
inconsistency between the provisions of Sections 11(d), 11(e) and 11(f), on the one hand, and the
provisions of any other agreement or instrument (including, without limitation, any charter, by-law
or other governing document of, or any agreement with, any Outdoor Entity or any Clear Channel
Entity), on the other hand, the provisions of Sections 11(d), 11(e) and 11(f) shall control and
supersede such inconsistent provisions of other such other agreements or instruments.

     18. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of
any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other
provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in

indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in

the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with
this Agreement, (c) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in

convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the
construction thereof.

covenant has

legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such

factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company stating that the information with respect to such
factual matters is in the possession of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, unless such
counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion
or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

     Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may,
but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

Section 1.04 Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee
and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the
Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner
provided in this Section.

     The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or
other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution
is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the
execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may
also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

     The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

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

     The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, set any day as the
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series
entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities
of such series. With regard to any record date set pursuant to

6

 

this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date
(or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to give or take the
relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. With regard to
any action that may be given or taken hereunder only by Holders of a requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of any series (or their duly appointed agents) and for which a record date
is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, at its option, set an expiration date after
which no such action purported to be given or taken by any Holder shall be effective hereunder
unless given or taken on or prior to such expiration date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed
agents). On or prior to any expiration date set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may, on one
or more occasions at its option, extend such date to any later date. Nothing in this paragraph
shall prevent any Holder (or any duly appointed agent thereof) from giving or taking, after any
such expiration date, any action identical to, or, at any time, contrary to or different from, the
action or purported action to which such expiration date relates, in which event the Company may
set a record date in respect thereof pursuant to this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to render ineffective any action taken at any time by the Holders (or their duly
appointed agents) of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant
series on the date such action is so taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the Trust Indenture
Act, the Company shall not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not
apply with respect to, any notice, declaration or direction referred to in the next paragraph.

     The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of
Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of
Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.02, if an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of such series has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee shall not
have given such a declaration to the Company, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred
to in Section 5.07(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect
to Securities of such series. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Trustee shall notify the Company and the Holders of Outstanding Series of such series of any such
record date so fixed and the proposed action. The Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series
on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to
join in such notice, declaration or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after
such record date; provided that, unless such notice, declaration or direction shall have
become effective by virtue of Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities
of such series on such record date (or their duly appointed agents) having joined therein on or
prior to the 90th day after such record date, such notice, declaration or direction shall
automatically and without any action by any Person be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing
in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent a Holder (or a duly appointed agent thereof) from
giving, before or after the expiration of such 90-day period, a notice, declaration or direction
contrary to or different from, or, after the expiration of such period, identical to, the notice,
declaration or direction to which such record date relates, in which event a new record date in
respect thereof shall be set pursuant to this paragraph. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to render ineffective any notice, declaration or direction of the type referred to in
this paragraph given at any time to the Trustee and the Company by Holders (or their duly appointed
agents) of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the
date such notice, declaration or direction is so given.

     Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to give or take any action
hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the
principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so
pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any different part of such principal amount.

Section 1.05 Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or
other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or
filed with,

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

     (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to the Company

7

 

addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this
instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

Section 1.06 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders 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 affected by such event, at his address as it appears in
the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest
date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to
any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the
Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver.

     In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with
the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 1.07 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to                     , or registered assigns, the principal sum of                                          
Dollars on                                           [if the Security is to bear interest prior to
Maturity, insert —, and to pay interest thereon from                      or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for, semi-annually on                      and                      in each year, commencing                     , at the rate of

Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest,

Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to
Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be
paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any

     [If the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert — The principal of
this Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a default in payment of principal upon
acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal of this
Security shall bear interest at the rate of                     % per annum, which shall
accrue from the date of such default in payment to the date payment of such principal has been made

interest on any overdue principal that is not so paid on demand shall bear interest at the rate of
                    % per annum, which shall accrue from the date of such demand for
payment to the date payment of such interest has been made or duly provided for, and such interest
shall also be payable on demand.]

such] interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in                     , in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts [if applicable, insert —; provided, however, that at the
option of the

10

 

Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person
entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register] [if applicable, insert — ; provided, however, that
any such payment in respect of a Global Security shall be made in same-day funds to the applicable
Depositary].

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

     The Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in
such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01. In the absence of any
such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such
series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

Section 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its
Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer, and
attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries or by its Chief Financial Officer.
The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

     Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities.

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any Series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver
such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or
pursuant to one or more Establishment Actions as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, in
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 6.01)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

     (1) if the form of such Securities has been established by an Establishment Action as
permitted by Section 2.01, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture;

     (2) if the terms of such Securities have been established by an Establishment Action as
permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions
of this Indenture; and

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

16

 

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

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the preceding paragraph, if all
Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to
deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the Company Order
and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph 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.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the
Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09,
for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated
and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 3.04 Temporary Securities.

     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and
upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are
issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities.

     If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities
of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at
the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or
more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount and tenor. 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 and tenor.

Section 3.05 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

     The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register
(the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place
of Payment being 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 Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed
“Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as
herein provided.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or
agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount and tenor.

     At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of
the same

17

 

series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and
tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

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

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

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company or Security Registrar 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, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving
any transfer.

     The Company shall not be required (1) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the
day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption
under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (2) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be transferred
to, or registered or exchanged for Securities registered in the name of, any Person other than the
Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee thereof, and no such transfer may be registered,
unless (1) such Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such Global Security and the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary within
90 days after receiving such notice or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act and the Company does not appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after becoming
aware that the Depositary has ceased to be registered as a clearing agency, (2) the Company
executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so
transferable, registrable and exchangeable, and such transfers shall be registrable, (3) there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities evidenced
by such Global Security or (4) there shall exist such other circumstances, if any, as have been
specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.01. Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Indenture, a Global Security to which the restriction set forth in the preceding sentence
shall have ceased to apply may be transferred only to, and may be registered and exchanged for
Securities registered only in the name or names of, such Person or Persons as the Depositary for
such Global Security shall have directed and no transfer thereof other than such a transfer may be
registered.

     Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange
for or in lieu of, a Global Security to which the restriction set forth in the first sentence of
the preceding paragraph shall apply, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.04, 3.06, 9.06 or
11.07 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Security.

Section 3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security 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 and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall

18

 

authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

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

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

Section 3.07 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

     Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of
Securities, interest on any 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 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 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 on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

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

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

19

 

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, 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.

Section 3.08 Persons Deemed Owners.

     Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
any premium and (subject to Section 3.07) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any
agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     Owners of beneficial interests in the Securities evidenced by a Global Security will not be
entitled to any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and the
Depositary or its nominee may be treated by the Company and the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee, as the owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes
whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee or any other agent of the Company or of the Trustee
shall 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. None of the
Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall have any responsibility or
liability to any Person for any acts or omissions of the Depositary or its nominee in respect of a
Global Security, for the records of any such Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial
ownership interests in respect of such Global Security, for any transactions between such
Depositary and any participant or indirect participant in such Depositary or between or among such
Depositary, any participant or indirect participant in such Depositary and/or any Holder or owner
of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in
any such Global Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company,
the Trustee or any agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or its nominee or impair, as between the Depositary or
its nominee and such owners of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing
the exercise of the rights of the Depositary or its nominee as Holder of any Global Security.

Section 3.09 Cancellation.

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or
conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company
may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver
to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, 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, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by
the Trustee in its customary manner.

Section 3.10 Computation of Interest.

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

Section 3.11 CUSIP Numbers.

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

Section 4.01 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with Section
3.01, this Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any

provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

     (1) either

which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided
in Section 3.06 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited
in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company

     (i) have become due and payable, or

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

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

and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to
pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to

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

     (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of

Company to the Trustee under Section 6.07, and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under
Section 4.02 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

Section 4.02 Application of Trust Money.

     All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the

Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and
any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

21

 

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

Section 5.01 Events of Default.

     “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any
one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

     (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes
due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

     (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that
series at its Maturity;

     (3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a
Security of that series, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

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

     (5) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable
Bankruptcy Law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving
as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or
in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian,
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or
of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs,
and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order
unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

     (6) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable
Bankruptcy Law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the
consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or to the commencement of any
bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer
or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the

custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the
Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally
as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such
action (an event of default specified in clause (5) or (6), a “Bankruptcy Default”); or

     (7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.

Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     If an Event of Default, other than a Bankruptcy Default, with respect to Securities of any
series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may
declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such

22

 

Securities as may be specified in
the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and
upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due
and payable.

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

     (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

     (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

          (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become
due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or
rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,

     (C) 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

     (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

     (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the
non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

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

     If a Bankruptcy Default occurs, the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all
Securities then outstanding will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Section 5.03 Collection and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

     The Company covenants that if:

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

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

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium
and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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

23

 

Section 5.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the
Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such
proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 6.07.

     No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding;
provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other
similar committee.

Section 5.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

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

Section 5.06 Application of Money Collected.

     Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article, and any money or other property
distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture after an Event of
Default, shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in
case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon
presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and

Section 5.07 Limitation on Suits.

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

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

     (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series

24

 

shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

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

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

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

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

Section 5.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any
premium and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the
consent of such Holder.

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

Section 5.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of
any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

Section 5.12 Control by Holders.

     The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series
shall have the

25

 

right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the
Securities of such series, provided that

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

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

     (3) subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers
of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
liability.

Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

     (1) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such
series, or

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

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

Section 5.14 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require
any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may
assess costs against any such party litigant, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, in
the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither
this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any
suit instituted by any Holders of the Securities, or group of Holders of the Securities, holding in
the aggregate more than 10% of principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to
any suit instituted by any Holder of the Outstanding Securities for the enforcement of the payment
of principal of or interest on, or the conversion of, any Outstanding Securities held by such
Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Outstanding Securities; and
provided, further, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be
deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any
suit instituted by the Company.

Section 5.15 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

     The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,
but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been
enacted.

ARTICLE VI

     The Trustee hereby accepts the trust imposed upon it by this Indenture and covenants and
agrees to perform

26

 

the same, as herein expressed.

Section 6.01 Duties of Trustee.

     (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his own affairs.

     (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

     (1) The Trustee need perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no others, and no covenants or obligations shall be implied in or read into
this Indenture.

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

     (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

     (1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) or (d) of this Section
6.01.

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

     (3) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.12.

or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or to
take or omit to take any action under this Indenture.

     (e) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) of this Section 6.01.

     (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on, or for investment of, any assets received
by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Assets held in trust by the
Trustee need not be segregated from other assets except to the extent required by law.

Section 6.02 Rights of Trustee.

     Subject to Section 6.01:

     (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document (whether in its original or facsimile
form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The
Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in any document.

     (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take

in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.

     (e) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion,
may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit and, if
the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to
examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the
sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason
of such investigation.

     (f) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or
any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by in hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

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

     (h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture,
unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the
Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction.

     (i) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any
event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

     (j) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth
the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified
actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person
authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

     (k) Anything in this Indenture notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for
special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but
not limited to loss of profit), even if the Trustee has been advised as to the likelihood of such
loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 6.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent or Security Registrar may do the same with like
rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 6.08, 6.09 and 6.10.

Section 6.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

     The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the
Securities and it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the
Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities, other than the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, all of which statements shall be taken as the statements
of the Company, or the use or application of any funds received by a Paying Agent other than the
Trustee.

28

 

Section 6.05 Notice of Default.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing and
if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of
Securities of such series notice of the uncured Event of Default within 90 days after such Event of
Default occurs. Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of principal (or premium, if
any) of, or interest on, any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a
Responsible Officer in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the
Holders of Securities of such series.

Section 6.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

     Within 60 days after each February 15 beginning with the February 15 following the date of
this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such February 15
that complies with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) if such report is required by such Trust
Indenture Act Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Sections
313(b) and 313(c).

     The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing if the Securities of any series
become listed on any stock exchange or automatic quotation system.

     A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Company and
filed with the Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed.

Section 6.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

     The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as
the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation
shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall
reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable disbursements, expenses and advances incurred
or made by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses
of the Trustee’s agents, accountants, experts and counsel.

     The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) and any
predecessor Trustee and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys-in-fact
and agents for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, claim, damage, demand,
expense (including but not limited to reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the
Trustee’s agents and counsel), loss, charges (including taxes (other than taxes based upon the
income of the Trustee)) or liability incurred by them without gross negligence or bad faith on its
part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and their
rights or duties hereunder including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves
against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against
the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the
Company shall not offset the Company’s indemnification obligations hereunder. The Company shall
defend the claim and the Trustee shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in
the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its written
consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company need not reimburse any
expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by its own gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct.

     To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all assets held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as
Trustee, except assets held in trust to pay principal and premium, if any, of or interest on
particular Securities.

     In addition to and without prejudice to its other rights hereunder, when the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(5) or (6) occurs,
the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

     The Company’s obligations under this Section 6.07 and any lien arising hereunder shall survive
the

29

 

resignation or removal of the Trustee, the discharge of the Company’s obligations pursuant to
Article IV of this Indenture and any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any
Bankruptcy Law.

Section 6.08 Replacement of Trustee.

     The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by so
notifying the Company in writing. The Holder or Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of a series may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of such series
by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor trustee with
respect to Securities of such series with the Company’s consent. The Company may remove the Trustee
if:

     (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10;

     (2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

     (3) a receiver, custodian, or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or

     (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

     If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee, with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee, with respect to Securities of that or those series. Within one year after the
successor Trustee with respect to a series of Securities takes office, the Holder or Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series may appoint a successor Trustee with
respect to such series to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

     A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that and provided that all sums owing to the Trustee
provided for in Section 6.07 have been paid, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held
by it as Trustee with respect to such series of Securities to the successor Trustee, subject to the
lien provided in Section 6.07, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. A successor Trustee with respect to one or more series of Securities shall
mail notice of its succession to each Holder of Securities of that or those series.

     If a successor Trustee with respect to a series of Securities does not take office within 60
days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Holder or Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series
may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

     If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10, any Holder of Securities of a series may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to such
series and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

     Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08, the Company’s
obligations under Section 6.07 and the lien provided for therein shall continue for the benefit of
the retiring Trustee.

Section 6.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

     If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts with or into, or transfers all or
substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or
transferee Person without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee Person
is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee.

Section 6.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

     The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section
310(a)(1) and Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of
condition. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act

30

 

Section 310(b).

Section 6.11 Preferential Collection of Claims against Company.

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

reports required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 shall be filed with the Trustee within 15 days after the same is so required
to be filed with the Commission. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee
is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates). All information, documents and
reports described in this Section 7.04 and filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic

with the Trustee as of the time they are filed via such system.

or

     (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the
consent

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this
Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series

Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

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

COVENANTS

Section 10.01 Payment of Securities.

     The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will pay
the principal of and interest on the Securities of that series on the dates and in the manner
provided in the Securities of that series and this Indenture. An installment of principal, premium,
if any, or interest on the Securities shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee
or Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds for the benefit of
the Holders, on that date, immediately available funds deposited and designated for and sufficient
to pay the installment. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue
installments of interest at the rate specified in the Securities compounded semi-annually, to the
extent lawful.

Section 10.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Company shall maintain in the Place of Payment for any series of Securities, an office or
agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served and, in the case of any series of Securities that is convertible or
exchangeable for any other securities pursuant to Section 3.01(16), where Securities can be
surrendered for conversion or exchange. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the Corporate Trust Office.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes
and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no
such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to
maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such
purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The Company hereby
initially designates the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee as such office of the
Company.

Section 10.03 Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

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

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it
will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities
of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be
held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee
to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series)
in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request
of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for
payment in respect of the Securities of that series.

35

 

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

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

Section 10.04 Compliance Certificate; Notice of Default.

     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of its fiscal year an
Officers’ Certificate (one of the signatories of which shall be the Company’s principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer) complying with Section
314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act and stating that a review of its activities during the
preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing officers with a view to
determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under
this Indenture (all without regard to periods of grace, which shall be deemed fulfilled unless and
until the expiration of such periods or notice requirements) and further stating, as to each such
officer signing such certificate, whether or not the signer knows of any failure by the Company to
comply with any conditions or covenants in this Indenture and, if such signer does know of such a
failure to comply, the certificate shall describe such failure with particularity. The Officers’
Certificate shall also notify the Trustee should the relevant fiscal year end on any date other
than the current fiscal year end date.

     So long as any of the Securities are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee,
forthwith upon becoming aware of any Event of Default or any event, act or condition that, after
notice or the passage of time or both, would be an Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate
specifying such Event of Default or any event, act or condition that, after notice or the passage
of time or both, would be an Event of Default, and what action the Company is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto.

Section 10.05 Corporate Existence.

     Subject to Article VIII, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence in accordance with its
organizational documents.

Section 10.06 Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series,
the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular instance to
comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant pursuant to Section
3.01(18), 9.01(2) or 9.01(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such series, if the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of
such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such
term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or
condition except to the extent expressly waived and, until such waiver shall become effective, the
obligations of the Company and the duties of the trustee in respect of any such term, provision or
condition shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE XI

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 11.01 Applicability of Article.

     Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable
in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01
for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.

Section 11.02 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by an Establishment
Action. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of all or less than all the
Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by
the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of
such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if
applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of
Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of
such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

Section 11.03 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

     If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities
of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from
the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as
the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption
of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any
integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination
larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. If less than all of
the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously
called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

     If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the
conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of
such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption.
Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be
treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

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

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

Section 11.04 Notice of Redemption.

     Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than
30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed,
at his address appearing in the Security Register.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date,

     (2) the Redemption Price,

37

 

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

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

     (5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price,

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

     (7) applicable CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers.

     Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be
given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company and shall be irrevocable.

Section 11.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

     On or before the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in
Section 11.04, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section
10.03) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption
Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be
redeemed on that date, other than any Securities called for redemption on that date which have been
converted prior to the date of such deposit.

     If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or
with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall
(subject to any right of the Holder of such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive
interest as provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.07) be paid to the Company upon Company
Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

Section 11.06 Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security
for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided,
however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, installments of
interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the
Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close
of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section
3.07.

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

Section 11.07 Securities Redeemed in Part.

     Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment
therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such

38

 

Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor,
of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to
and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

ARTICLE XII

SINKING FUNDS

Section 12.01 Applicability of Article.

     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities
of such series.

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of
such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as
an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the
cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.02.
Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as
provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

     The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously
called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been
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, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with
respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such
Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have
not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by
the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation
of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 12.03 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

     Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which
is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.02
and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days
before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed
upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.03 and cause notice of
the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner
provided in Section 11.04. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities
shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 11.06 and 11.07.

ARTICLE XIII

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 13.01 Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     The Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have either Section 13.02 or Section
13.03 applied to the Outstanding Securities of any series designated pursuant to Section 3.01 as
being defeasible pursuant to this Article XIII (hereinafter called a “Defeasible Series”), upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article XIII; provided,
however, that Section 13.02 shall not apply to any series of Securities that is convertible
into or exchangeable for any other securities pursuant to Section 3.01(16). Any such election shall
be evidenced by an

39

 

Establishment Action or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for such
Securities.

Section 13.02 Defeasance and Discharge.

     Upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 13.01 to have this Section 13.02
applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series and subject to Section 13.01, the
Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the
Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in this Section on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”). For this
purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and to have satisfied
all its other obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture insofar as the
Securities of such series are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive
until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of Securities of such
series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.04 and as more fully set
forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such
Securities of such series when payments are due, (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to the
Securities of such series under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03, (3) the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article XIII. Subject to
compliance with this Article XIII, the Company may exercise its option provided in Section 13.01 to
have this Section 13.02 applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option provided in Section 13.01 to have Section 13.03
applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series.

Section 13.03 Covenant Defeasance.

     Upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 13.01 to have this Section 13.03
applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series, (1) the Company shall be released
from its obligations under Section 8.01 and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 3.01(18) or
9.01(2) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, and (2) the occurrence of any event
specified in Sections 5.01(3) and 5.01(4) (with respect to Section 8.01 and any such covenants
provided pursuant to Section 3.01(18) or 9.01(2)) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event
of Default, in each case with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series as provided in
this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.04 are satisfied
(hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that
the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition
or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of
Section 5.01(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any
such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in
any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be
unaffected thereby.

Section 13.04 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 13.02 or Section 13.03
to the Outstanding Securities of any Defeasible Series:

     (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
(or another trustee that satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 6.09 and agrees to
comply with the provisions of this Article XIII applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the
purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated
solely to, the benefit of the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series, (A) money in an
amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations that through the scheduled payment of principal and
interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day
before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and
which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge,
the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of such series on the respective
Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities of such
series. As used herein, “U.S. Government Obligation” means any security that is (i) a direct
obligation of the United States of America for the payment of which full faith and credit of the
United States of America is pledged or (ii) an

40

 

obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of
the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and
credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not
callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof.

     (2) In the case of an election under Section 13.02, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date first set forth
hereinabove, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A)
or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the
Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to the
Securities of such series and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same
manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were
not to occur.

     (3) In the case of an election under Section 13.03, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such
series will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit
and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to the Securities of such series and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would
be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

     (4) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect
that the Securities of such series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will not be delisted
as a result of such deposit.

     (5) No Event of Default or event that (after notice or lapse of time or both) would become an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard
to any Event of Default or any such event specified in Sections 5.01(5) and (6), at any time on or
prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall
not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

     (6) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting
interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default
within the meaning of such Act).

     (7) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by
which it is bound.

     (8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance have been complied with.

     (9) Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such
deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, unless such trust shall be qualified under such Act or exempt from regulation
thereunder.

Section 13.05 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust;
Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

     All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 13.06, the
Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to
Section 13.04 in respect of the Securities of any Defeasible Series shall be held in trust and
applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of such series and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of Securities of such
series, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and
interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.

     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.04 or the
principal and interest

41

 

received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge that by law is for the
account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

     Anything in this Article XIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or
pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations
held by it as provided in Section 13.04 with respect to Securities of any Defeasible Series that,
in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that
would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
with respect to the Securities of such series.

Section 13.06 Reinstatement.

     If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this
Article XIII with respect to the Securities of any series by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application,
then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XIII with respect
to Securities of such series until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all money held in trust pursuant to Section 13.05 with respect to Securities of such series in
accordance with this Article XIII; provided, however, that if the Company makes any
payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
Securities of such series to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

     This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall
be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
