legend to substantially the following effect:

“THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED

EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR

UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE REGISTERED FORM, THIS

DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE
DEPOSITARY OR BY THE DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR TO A
NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”

unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series, or if at any time
the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of
such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the

ineligibility, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 3.01(M) shall no longer be
effective with respect to the Securities of such series and the Company shall execute and the

definitive Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver as specified in such written
order(s), Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for
such Global Security or Securities.

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

     If specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Securities, the
Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of
Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such
terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

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

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

     In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, Securities in definitive registered form in
authorized denominations.

     Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security
shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to
Section 3.05 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations

14

 

as the Depositary for such Global Security shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall
deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

17

 

3.02 Denominations.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series
of Securities, and except as provided in Section 3.03, the Securities of each series shall
be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Securities of each
series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with
such plan as the Authorized Officers executing the same may determine with the reasonable approval
of the Trustee.

3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer. Such
signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such Authorized
Officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.

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

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

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication. The Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities to or upon
the written order of the Company, signed by an Authorized Officer, or pursuant to such procedures
acceptable to the Trustee and such recipients, without any further action by the Company. In
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon the documents specified in Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, and in
addition:

     (A) the instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and terms of the Securities
of such series, as provided in Sections 2.01 and 3.01;

     (B) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 1.02, to the following
effect, which Opinion of Counsel may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as
such counsel shall deem appropriate:

          (i) the forms and terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with
Section 2.01 and Section 3.01 of this Indenture;

          (ii) all conditions precedent set forth in Sections 2.01, 3.01 and
3.03 of this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been
complied with; and

18

 

          (iii) 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 entitled to the benefits provided
by this Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

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

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

3.04 Temporary Securities.

     Pending the preparation of a permanent Global Security or definitive Securities of any series,
the Company may execute, and upon compliance with Section 3.03, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, or
engraved or produced by any combination of these methods, 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 Authorized
Officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary securities may be in global
form, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

     If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities
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 such series. 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 a like principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor.

19

 

Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled
to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the payment of interest
on Securities in temporary form. Such exchanges shall be made by the Company at its expense and
without any charge therefor.

3.05 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

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

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at an office or
agency maintained in accordance with Section 5.02, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations
and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity. In no case shall there be more than
one Security Register for a series of Securities.

     At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (except a Global Security) may be
exchanged for other Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at an office or agency maintained in accordance with Section
5.02. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.

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

     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 Trustee duly executed by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

20

 

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

     The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
Securities of any particular series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of selection of Securities of such series to be redeemed under Section 4.02
and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Securities of such series selected for redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
Security being redeemed in part.

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

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

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

3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     If any mutilated Security 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
requested by them to hold each of them and any agent of any 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, upon request, the Trustee shall 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.

21

 

     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 3.06, 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 3.06 in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

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

3.07 Payment of Defaulted Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

     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 at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record
Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in
either clause (A) or (B) below:

     (A) 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
Special Record Date shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee
in writing as to 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 reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.
Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest
which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and, unless otherwise agreed to by the Trustee, not less than 10 days after the receipt by
the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
of such Special Record Date and, in

22

 

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 such Holder’s 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.

     (B) 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 reasonably deemed practicable by the Trustee.

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

3.08 Persons Deemed Owners.

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

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

3.09 Cancellation.

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

23

 

upon written request therefor, deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction in respect
thereof.

3.10 Computation of Interest.

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

3.11 CUSIP Numbers.

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

IV. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS

4.01 Applicability of Right of Redemption.

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

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

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

     Any notice of redemption to be given to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed as a whole or
in part shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.05 not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.

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

24

 

maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 (or, if desired by the
Company, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee) upon presentation and surrender of such
securities and that from and after said date fixed for redemption any interest thereon will cease
to accrue, such Securities subject to such redemption shall cease to be outstanding and the
Holder(s) thereof shall have no rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the
redemption price upon such presentation and surrender. If less than all the Securities of a series
are to be redeemed, the notice to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed shall identify such
Holder’s securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part. In case any Security of a series is to
be redeemed in part only (which part shall be the minimum denomination of the Securities of such
series as set forth pursuant to Section 3.01 or a multiple thereof), the notice which
relates to such Securities shall state the portion of the principal amount to be redeemed, and that
on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of
the same series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued. No
Security whose denomination is the minimum denomination, as set forth pursuant to Section
3.01, of principal amount may be redeemed in part.

     To the extent that the Securities of any series have different terms, the Company shall
designate the Securities to be redeemed if less than all of a series are to be redeemed
(“Company Designation”). If less than all the Securities of a series having the
same terms are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee, not less than 10 days (or such
lesser number of days as the Trustee shall approve) prior to the date fixed by the Company for such
redemption, written notice of the aggregate amount of the Securities to be redeemed, and thereupon
the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and
fair, the Securities of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed (“Trustee
Selection”), and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company and any Paying Agent in writing
of the Securities of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed. Except in the event of a
Company Designation or a Trustee Selection, notice of redemption published as contemplated by
Section 1.05 need not identify particular Securities to be redeemed.

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

4.03 Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.

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

25

 

if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of
such Securities, on or after the redemption date at the Place of Payment specified in the notice of
redemption, such Securities or specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company
at the applicable redemption price together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but,
excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.01, installments of interest that mature on Securities on or
prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record
Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

     Upon presentation and surrender of any Security which is to be redeemed in part only, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, at the expense
of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series of authorized denominations in
principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so surrendered.

4.04 Deposit of Funds for Redemption of Securities.

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

4.05 Applicability of Sinking Fund.

     Redemption of Securities permitted or required pursuant to a sinking fund for the retirement
of Securities of a series by the terms of such series of Securities established pursuant to
Section 3.01 shall be made in accordance with such terms of such series of Securities
established pursuant to Section 3.01 and this Article IV; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV, if any such terms of a series
of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article IV, the terms of such
series shall govern.

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in
excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein
referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 4.06.

4.06 Satisfaction of Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

     Subject to Section 4.07, in lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking
fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (i)
deliver to the Trustee Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the
Company, or (ii) receive credit for the principal amount of Securities of that series which have

26

 

been previously delivered to the Trustee by the Company or redeemed either at the election of
the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted
optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities; provided, that such
Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited
for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.

4.07 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Funds.

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

     Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash, plus any unused
balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash, which shall equal or exceed $100,000
(or the equivalent in Foreign Currency or currency units in which Securities of the series are
payable if applicable), or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request, with respect to the
Securities of any particular series, shall be applied by the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the
Company, if it acts as its own Paying Agent, on the sinking fund payment date next following the
date of such payment, to the redemption of such Securities at the redemption price specified in
such Securities for operation of the sinking fund together with accrued interest, if any, to the
sinking fund payment date. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated to the redemption
of Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee or such
Paying Agent or set aside and segregated by the Company for such series and, together with such
payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.07. Any and
all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the
Trustee, such Paying Agent or the Company on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to
Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities shall
be applied by the Trustee, such Paying Agent or the Company, together with other moneys, if
necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of principal of such
Securities at maturity.

     Not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to each sinking fund payment date, the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in

27

 

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

     Prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or to a Paying
Agent in cash (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 5.07(b)) a sum equal to any interest accrued to, but excluding, the
date fixed for redemption of Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund
payment date pursuant to this Section 4.07.

V. PARTICULAR COVENANTS

outside The City of New York) where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company

above. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

make or cause to be made effective provision) whereby the Securities then Outstanding and any other
indebtedness of or guaranteed by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary then entitled thereto
shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) any and all other obligations and

     (J) any Security Interest arising by reason of deposits to qualify the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary to conduct business, to maintain self-insurance, or to obtain the
benefit of, or comply with, laws;

     (K) the extension of any Security Interest existing as of the date of this Indenture on
a Principal Facility to additions, extensions or improvements thereto and not as a result of

     (L) any extension, renewal or refunding (or successive extensions, renewals or
refundings) in whole or in part of any Secured Debt secured by any Security Interest
referred to in the foregoing subparagraphs (A) through (K), inclusive,
provided that the principal amount of such Secured Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the

that the Security Interest securing such Secured Debt shall be limited to the property
which,

30

 

immediately prior to such extension, renewal or refunding, secured such Secured Debt
and additions to such property.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.04, the Company and any one
or more Restricted Subsidiaries may create, incur, assume or guarantee Secured Debt (not including
Secured Debt permitted to be secured under subparagraphs (A) through (L), inclusive

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

5.06 Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office.

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

5.07 Provisions as to Paying Agent

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

benefit of the Holders of such Securities, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

          (d) Anything in this Section 5.07 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at
its option, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to
one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid

means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental
body) unless such event is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental
indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of such series pursuant to Section
3.01 of this Indenture:

interest becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

     (C) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment or payment under any analogous
provision when due with respect to any of the Securities of such series;

     (D) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this
Indenture or any Security of such series (other than a covenant or warranty for which the
consequences of breach or nonperformance are addressed elsewhere in this Section 6.01 or a
covenant or warranty which has expressly been included in this Indenture, whether or not by means
of a supplemental indenture, solely for the benefit of Securities of a series other than such
series), and continuance of such default or breach (without such default or breach having been
cured or waived in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture) for a period of 90 days after
the Company has received written notice, by registered or certified mail, delivered by the Trustee
or after the Company and the Trustee have received written notice, by registered or certified mail,
delivered by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series, specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and
stating that such notice is a “notice of default” hereunder;

     (E) 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, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the
Company 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 law, or
appointing a custodian, receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Company or of substantially all of the property of the Company, or ordering
the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company, and the continuance of any such decree
or order for relief unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

     (F) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to

order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of
any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company, or the filing by the Company
of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable law, or
the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking
possession by a custodian, receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or
similar official of the Company or of substantially all of the property of the Company, or the
making by the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate
action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

     (G) any other Event of Default provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to
Securities of such series.

33

 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, if the principal or any
premium or interest on any Security is payable in a currency other than the currency of the United
States of America and such currency is not available to the Company for making payment thereof due
to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company,
the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the Securities by making such
payment in the currency of the United States of America in an amount equal to the currency of the
United States of America equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as determined by
the Trustee by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for
such currency (“Exchange Rate”), as such Exchange Rate is reported or otherwise made
available by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the date of such payment, or, if such rate is
not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, any payment made under such circumstances in the
currency of the United States of America where the required payment is in a currency other than the
currency of the United States of America will not constitute an Event of Default under this
Indenture.

6.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (E) or
(F) of Section 6.01) with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is
continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal of all the Securities
of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration
such principal or such lesser amount, as the case may be, and such accrued and unpaid interest
shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (E)
or (F) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Securities of any series occurs, then
the principal of all of the Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for
in the Securities of such series, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder of the Securities of such series.

     At any time after Securities of any series have been accelerated (whether by declaration of
the Trustee or the Holders or automatically) and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article VI provided, the
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
and if all existing Events of Default with respect to that series have been cured or waived as
provided in Section 6.07 except nonpayment of principal (or such lesser amount) or interest
that has become due solely because of the acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any
subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     The Company and the Trustee may, to the extent provided in Section 11.01, enter into
one or more indentures supplemental hereto with respect to any series of the Securities which may
provide for additional, different or fewer Events of Default with respect to such series of

34

 

Securities. Additional, different or fewer Events of Default with respect to such series of
Securities may also be set forth pursuant to Section 3.01.

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

     The Company covenants that (i) in case a default shall be made in the payment of any
installment of interest on any of the Securities, as and when the same shall become due and
payable, and such default shall have continued for a period in excess of 30 days, or (ii) in case a
default shall be made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the
Securities when and as the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the
Securities or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee,
the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole
amount that then shall have become due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if
any, Interest, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, of each such
Security and (to the extent legally enforceable under applicable law) upon any installments of
interest, at the rate borne by such Security; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a reasonable
compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities
incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith.

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

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

35

 

6.04 Application of Proceeds.

     Any money collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to
Section 6.03 shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee for the distribution of such moneys:

     FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses in connection with the collection of such
moneys, and all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07; and

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

     Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company or to such other person as shall be
entitled to receive it.

6.05 Limitations on Suits by Holders.

     Except as set forth in Section 316(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, no Holder of any Security of
any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture
to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to
this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the
continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of the series, and unless also the Holders of no
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have
made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name
as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity as it may require against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute
any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall
have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07; it being understood and intended,
and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security of such series with every other
Holder of Securities of such series and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of
such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself of any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb, prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of
Securities or to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any
right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and
common benefit of all Holders of Securities of such series.

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

     All powers and remedies given by this Article VI to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Securities of any series shall, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6.05,
be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other such powers and remedies or of any other powers
or remedies available to the Trustee or such Holders, by judicial proceedings or

36

 

otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained
in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of the Securities of
any series to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as
aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such
default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 6.05, every power and remedy
given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to such Holders may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holders.

6.07 Control by Holders; Waiver of Default.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with
respect to Securities of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise
than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture; provided further, that nothing in
this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the
Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. The Holders of at least
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf
of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with
respect to the securities of such series and its consequences, except (i) a default in the payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of such series
or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Section 11.02, cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series
affected. In the case of any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default
arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, and the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

6.08 Undertaking for Costs.

     In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion
may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant; provided, however, that this
Section 6.08 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee or the Company, a suit by a Holder
pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount
of the then Outstanding Securities of any series.

VII. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

          (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,

37

 

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

     (ii) in the absence of bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence on its part, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or
other facts stated therein, except to the extent set forth in a supplemental indenture or pursuant
to Section 3.01).

          (b) In case 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 or her own affairs.

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

     (i) this Section 7.01(c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section
7.01(a);

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

     (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.07;
and

     (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds
or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in
the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.

          (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 7.01.

7.02 Notice of Defaults.

     Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series entitled
to receive reports pursuant to Section 8.03, notice of such default hereunder

38

 

actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such default shall have been
cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any), or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, the Trustee
shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the
executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in
good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the best interest of the Holders of
Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character
specified in Section 6.01(D) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to
Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of
this Section 7.02, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or
lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act:

or damage and regardless of the form of action;

     (I) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default unless a

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

     (J) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,

authentication and the representation as to the power of the Trustee to enter into this Indenture
and accept and execute the trusts hereby created, shall be taken as the statements of the Company
and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities
or of the proceeds of such Securities.

40

 

7.06 Moneys Held by Trustee or Paying Agent.

     Subject to Sections 13.04 and 13.05, all moneys received by the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys
received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company. So long as no Event of
Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred and be continuing, all
interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time pursuant to, and upon, the
written order of the Company, signed by an Authorized Officer thereof. The provisions of this
Section 7.06 shall not apply to the Company acting as its own Paying Agent pursuant to
Section 5.07(b).

7.07 Compensation of Trustee and Its Lien.

     The Company jointly and severally covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to
time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall be agreed to from
time to time by the Company and the Trustee and which shall not be limited by any provision of law
in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. If any property
other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to
the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the
supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled (but shall not be
required) to make advances from funds collected or held in trust by the Trustee as such for the
purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or
encumbrances thereon. The Company also jointly and severally covenants and agrees to indemnify the
Trustee, any predecessor Trustee or their agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the
costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or
any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any
of the Trustee’s powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with the enforcement the provisions
of this Section 7.07, except to the extent that such loss, liability or expense is due to
their own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the Company need not
pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnification.

     The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall constitute additional
indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of
the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds
held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01(E) or Section 6.01(F), the expenses (including the
reasonable

41

 

charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other similar law.

     The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

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

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, whenever in the
administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable
that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such
matter (unless other evidence in respect hereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the
absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved
and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the
absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee
for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the
faith thereof.

7.09 Persons Eligible for Appointment As Trustee.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state
authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law
or to the requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 7.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section
7.09 or the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 7.10. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company
shall serve as Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder. If the Trustee has or
shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee
shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and
subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted
by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by
virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series.

7.10 Resignation and Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Successor.

     (a) The Trustee, or any Trustee or Trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with
respect to any one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice to the Company and
by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in
Section 1.05. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to
the applicable series by written instrument executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy
of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the

42

 

successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to a
particular series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or
Securities of the applicable series for at least 6 months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court
may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor
Trustee.

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

     (A) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

     (B) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent,
or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of
Securities and appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order
of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security or Securities of any such series for at least 6 months may, an behalf of such Holder and
all others similarly situated, petition, any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. Such court may
thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

          (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
any series may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to that series and appoint with respect
to such series a successor Trustee by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor
Trustee so appointed and to the Company, the evidence provided for in Section 9.01 of the
action taken by the Holders.

          (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

7.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee.

     Any successor Trustee appointed under Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Company and to the predecessor Trustee with respect to any and all applicable series
an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act,
deed, or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
obligations with respect of such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as

43

 

if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the
Company or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any such
amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.07, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts with respect to
such series of the Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon the reasonable request of any such successor
Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee
ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by
such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 7.07.

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

     No successor Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as
provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall with
respect to such series be eligible under Section 7.09.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series, the Company shall give notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to the Holders of
Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.05. If the Company fails to give such
notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.

7.12 Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Trustee.

     Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without
the execution filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
provided that such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09
hereof and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

7.13 Authenticating Agents.

     There may be an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents with respect to one or more
series of Securities appointed by the Trustee from time to time with power to act on its

44

 

behalf and subject to its direction in connection with the authentication and delivery of
Securities of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or redemption thereof as fully to all
intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized to
authenticate and deliver Securities, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as though
authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. For all purposes of this Indenture (except in the case of
original issuance of Securities and the issuance of Securities in replacement of lost, stolen,
mutilated or destroyed Securities), the authentication and delivery of Securities by an
Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.13 shall be
deemed to be the authentication and delivery of such Securities “by the Trustee,” and whenever this
Indenture provides (except in the case of original issuance of the Securities and the issuance of
Securities in replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Securities) that “the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver” Securities, such authentication and delivery by any Authenticating
Agent shall be deemed be authentication and delivery by the Trustee. Any such Authenticating Agent
shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United
States or any State or the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 and authorized under such laws to act as an authenticating agent, duly registered to
act as such, if and to the extent required by applicable law and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes
reports of its condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority,
then for the purposes of this Section 7.13 the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect herein specified in this Section 7.13.

     Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the Authenticating Agent
hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible to act as such in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 7.13, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

     Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the
Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.
Upon receiving such a notice or resignation or upon a termination, or in case at any time any
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 7.13, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent. Upon the
appointment, at any time after the original issuance of any of the Securities, of any successor,
additional or new authenticating agent, the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment
to the Company and shall at the expense of the Company give notice of such appointment to all
Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in
the manner provided in Section 1.05. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of
its appointment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.13 shall become vested with
all the

45

 

rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
initially appointed as an Authenticating Agent. No successor authenticating agent shall be
appointed unless eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section
7.13.

     Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of its appointment shall be deemed to have
represented to the Trustee that it is eligible for appointment as Authenticating Agent under this
Section 7.13 and to have agreed with the Trustee that:

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

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

     (C) it will notify the Trustee promptly if it shall cease to be eligible to act as
Authenticating Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13.

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

     The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticated Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation and expenses for its services (to the extent such compensation is not paid by the
Company), and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments subject to the
provisions of Section 7.07.

     The provisions of Sections 7.04, 7.05 and 7.08 shall inure to the
benefit of each Authenticating Agent to the same extent that they inure to the benefit of the
Trustee.

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

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

the Trust Indenture Act.

          (b) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees that neither the
Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Security Registrar shall be held accountable by
reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of
Securities in accordance with Section 312(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, regardless of the source
from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by
reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 312(b) of the Trust
Indenture Act.

8.03 Reports by Trustee.

Indenture Act, a brief report dated as of such May 15 with respect to any of the events specified

(2) of this Section 8.04 as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time
to time by the Commission.

IX. CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

9.01 Evidence of Action Taken by Holders.

     Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage or a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or of any series of Securities may take
any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or

48

 

waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action
the Holders of such specified percentage or majority have joined therein may be evidenced (i) by
any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by
agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (ii) by the record of the Holders of Securities voting in
favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of
Article X, or (iii) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record
of such a meeting of Holders.

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

     Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.03 and 10.05 and Section 315 of the
Trust Indenture Act, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy and
proof of the holding by any person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the
following manner:

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

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

     If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Securities of any series any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, the Company may, at its option, by
Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Securities
entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the
discretion of the Company. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act may be sought or given before or after the record
date, but only the Holders of Securities of record at the close of business on such record date
shall be deemed to be the Holders of Securities for the purpose of determining whether Holders of
the requisite proportion of Securities of such series outstanding have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act,
and for that purpose the Securities of such series outstanding shall be computed as of such record
date.

     Whenever any act is to be taken hereunder by the Holders of two or more series of Securities
denominated in different currencies or currency units, then, for the purpose of determining the
principal amount of Securities held by such Holders, the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency (or any currency units) shall be

49

 

deemed to be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such principal amount on the
basis of the spot rate of exchange for such Foreign Currency or such currency unit as determined by
the Company or by an authorized Exchange Rate Agent and evidenced to the Trustee by an Officers’
Certificate, as of the date the taking of such act by the Holders of the requisite percentage in
principal amount of the Securities is evidenced to the Trustee. An “Exchange Rate Agent”
may be appointed in advance or from time to time by the Company. Any such determination by the
Company or by any such Exchange Rate Agent shall be conclusive and binding on all Holders, the
Company and the Trustee, and neither the Company nor any such Exchange Rate Agent shall be liable
therefor in the absence of bad faith.

     The Trustee may require such additional proof, if any, of any matter referred to in this
Section 9.02 as it shall deem necessary.

     The
record of any Holders meeting shall be proved as provided in
Section 10.06.

9.03 Right of Revocation of Action Taken.

     At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section
9.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities or of any series of Securities specified in this Indenture in connection
with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown, by evidence, to be
included in the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing
written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in
Section 9.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid,
any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in
exchange therefor or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard
thereto is made upon such Security or any Security issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof.
Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities.

X. HOLDERS’ MEETINGS

10.01 Purposes for Which Holders’ Meetings May be Called.

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

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

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

     (C) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to
Section 11.02; or

50

 

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

10.02 Call of Meetings by Trustee.

     The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of any series to be held at such time
and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as the Trustee shall determine
or, with the approval of the Company, at any other place. Notice of every meeting of Holders,
setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be
taken at such meeting, shall be given by the Trustee, in the manner provided in Section
1.05, not less than 20 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting, to the
Holders of Securities of such series.

10.03 Company and Holders May Call Meeting.

     In case the Company, pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, or the Holders of at
least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, shall have
requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Holders of such series, by written request setting forth
in general terms the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have
made the mailing of the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request, then
the Company or the Holders of such Securities in the amount above specified may determine the time
and the place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (or, with the approval of the
Company, such other place), for such meeting and may call such meeting to take any action
authorized in Section 10.01, by giving notice thereof as provided in Section 10.02.

10.04 Persons Entitled to Vote at Meeting.

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

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

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable
regulations as it may deem advisable for a meeting of Holders, in regard to proof of the holding of
Securities and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of
inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of
the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think
fit. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their
face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 9.02 or
other proof. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of
Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 9.02 and the appointment of
any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in said Section 9.02 or by having the
signature the

51

 

person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any bank, banker, trust company or firm
satisfactory to the Trustee.

     The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting,
unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section
10.03, in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall
in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the
meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities
represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.

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

     The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Securities of
such series held by him or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him as the person
to vote on behalf of other Holders of such series. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to
Section 10.02 or 10.03 may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be
held as so adjourned without further notice.

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

10.06 Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meeting.

     The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of a series of Securities
shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of
Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the serial numbers and principal
amounts of the Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of
the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for
or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their
verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of
the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting, and
there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote
by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting
forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in
Section 10.02 or 10.03. The record shall show the serial numbers of the securities
voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the
affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting, and one of the duplicates shall
be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter
to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

52

 

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

XI. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

11.01 Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders.

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

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

     (B) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company, or successive
successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants, agreements and
obligations of the Company, pursuant to Article XII;

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

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

     (E) to prohibit the authentication and delivery of additional series of Securities;

     (F) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein in any
supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions contained
herein or in any supplemental indenture;

53

 

     (G) to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this
Indenture as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental
indenture and shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Securities in any
material respect;

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

     (I) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series or to add to or change any of the provisions
of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the
trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.11.

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

     Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 11.01 shall be
executed by the Company and the Trustee and shall not require the consent of the Holders of any of
the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding Section 11.02.

11.02 Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders.

     With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 9.01) of the Holders of not less
than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series
affected by such supplemental indenture, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a
resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter
into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall, but only to the extent
applicable, conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as shall be in force at the date
of execution of such supplemental indenture or indentures) for the purpose, with respect to
Securities of such series, of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to Securities of
such series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such
series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the
Holder of each Security so affected:

54

 

     (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium, if any, or any installment of
interest, if any, on any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium, if any,
thereon or the rate (or modify the calculation of such rate) of interest thereon, or reduce the
amount payable upon redemption thereof at the option of the Company or repayment thereof at the
option of the Holder, or reduce the amount of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Security
that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant
to Section 6.02 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section
6.03, or adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of any Holder with respect to
any Security, or change the Place of Payment where or the currency in which the principal of, any
premium or interest on, any Security is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the redemption date or, in the case of repayment at the option of the
Holder, on or after the date for repayment) in each case as such Stated Maturity, redemption date
or date for repayment may, if applicable, be extended in accordance with the terms of such
Security, or, in the case of any Security which is convertible into or exchangeable for other
securities, impair the right to institute suit to enforce the right to convert or exchange such
Security in accordance with its terms;

     (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the
consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose
Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in Section 5.05 or
Section 6.07 of this Indenture;

     (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section 11.02 or Section 5.05 or
Section 6.07, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other
provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security affected thereby; or

     (4) make any change that adversely affects the right, if any, to convert or exchange any
Security for common stock or other securities in accordance with its terms.

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

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

55

 

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 11.02 to
approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

     Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture
under this Section 11.02, the Company shall give notice, setting forth in general terms the
substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in
Section 1.05. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall
not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

11.03 Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

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

11.04 Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures.

     Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI or after any action taken at a Holders
meeting pursuant to the provisions of Article X may, and if required by the Trustee shall,
bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture or as to any such action. If the Company and the Trustee shall so determine, new
Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company and the Trustee,
to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared
by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such
series then outstanding.

11.05 Opinion of Counsel to Be Given Trustee.

     The Trustee, subject to Section 7.03 and, to the extent applicable, Section 315 of the
Trust Indenture Act, shall receive an Opinion of Counsel or an Officers’ Certificate as conclusive

is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article XI to join in the execution
thereof.

12.01 Company May Consolidate or Merge, Etc.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 12.02, nothing contained in this Indenture shall
prevent any consolidation of the Company with or the merger of the Company into any other Person,
or any merger of any other Person into the Company or successive consolidations or mergers to which
the Company or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall

of the Company to any other Person lawfully entitled to acquire the same.

12.02 Conditions to Consolidation or Merger, Etc.

acquires by sale or transfer, or which leases, all or substantially all of the properties and
assets of the Company shall assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto executed and delivered to
the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on
the Securities, and the Company’s other obligations under this Indenture;

     (B) Every such successor Person, upon executing such indenture supplemental hereto, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, shall succeed to (and, except in the case of a lease, be
substituted for) the Company, as the case may be, with the same effect as if it had been an
original party hereto (which succession shall, except in the case of a lease, relieve the Company
of all liabilities hereunder), and such successor Person shall possess and from time to time may
exercise each and every power hereunder of the Company and may execute and deliver Securities
hereunder, either in the name of the Company or of such successor Person, and any act or proceeding
required by this Indenture to be done or performed by any board or officer of the Company may be

each stating that its covenants contained in Section 12.02 have been complied with.

13.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

     Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 this Section 13.01 is declared not applicable
with respect to the Securities of any series, upon the direction of the Company by a written order,
this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities
specified in such written order, and the Trustee, on receipt of such written order, at the expense
of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture as to such series, when

     (A) either

57

 

     (i) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered
(other than (1) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen
and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (2)
Securities of such series 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 or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 13.05) have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

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

          (1) have become due and payable,

          (2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one

the expense, of the Company,

and the Company, in the case of (1), (2) or (3) above, has deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in the
currency in which such Securities are payable or Government Obligations (determined
on the basis of the currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable
at Stated Maturity) in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, including the principal of, any premium and interest on such
Securities, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become
due and payable) or to the maturity thereof, as the case may be;

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

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

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of
Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money

respect to the Securities of such series) to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and the
obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the option of the Holders
pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, and any rights of Holders of the Securities of such series
(unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such
series) to convert or exchange, and the obligation of the Company to convert or exchange, such
Securities into common stock or other securities, shall survive; provided, however, that following
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities whose
Holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase or repay such Securities or to convert
or exchange such Securities into common stock or other securities, the right of the Holder to
require repurchase, repayment, conversion or exchange, as the case may be, of any such Security and
the Company’s obligation to repurchase, repay, convert or exchange, as the case may be, any such
Security shall (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the
Securities of such series) terminate immediately following the close of business on the final
Stated Maturity of such Security or immediately following the close of business on any earlier
redemption date of such Security (so long as the Company does not default in the payment of the
redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, due on such redemption date), as the
case may be.

13.02 Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

          (a) Unless pursuant to Section 3.01, either or both of (i) defeasance of the
Securities of or within a series under clause (b) of this Section 13.02 or (ii)
covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (c) of this
Section 13.02 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such series, then
such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 13.02 (with such
modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to any
Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option by Board
Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of or within such series, elect to have
Section 13.02(b) or Section 13.02(c) be applied to such Outstanding Securities upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 13.02. Unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of any series, defeasance
under clause (b) of this Section 13.02 and covenant defeasance under clause
(c) of this Section 13.02 may be effected only with respect to all, and not less than
all, of the Outstanding Securities of any series. To the extent that the terms of any Security
established in or pursuant to this Indenture permit the Company or any Holder thereof to extend the
date on which any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on with respect
to such Security is due and payable, then unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section
3.01, the right to extend such date shall terminate upon defeasance or covenant defeasance, as
the case may be.

          (b) Upon the Company’s exercise of the option applicable to this Section 13.02(b) with
respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from their obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities, on the date the
conditions set forth in clause (d) of this Section 13.02 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding
Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of
clause (e) of this Section 13.02 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred
to in clauses (i) through (iv) of

59

 

this paragraph, and to have satisfied all of their other obligations under such Securities and
this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which
shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of
such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely (except as provided in clause (ii) below)
from the trust fund described in clause (d)(A) of this Section 13.02 and as more
fully set forth in this Section 13.02 and Section 13.03, payments in respect of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are
due, (ii) the obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to such Securities under
Sections 3.05, 3.06, 5.02 and 5.07, with respect to any rights of
Holders of such Securities (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect
to the Securities of such series) to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and the
obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the option of the Holders
pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, and with respect to any rights of Holders of such
Securities (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the
Securities of such series) to convert or exchange, and the obligations of the Company to convert or
exchange, such Securities into common stock or other securities, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 13.02 and Sections
13.03 and 13.06; provided, however, that following defeasance with respect to any
series of Securities whose Holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase or repay
such Securities or to convert or exchange such Securities into common stock or other securities,
the right of the Holder to require repurchase, repayment, conversion or exchange, as the case may
be, of any such Security and the Company’s obligation to repurchase, repay, convert or exchange, as
the case may be, any such Security shall (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section
3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) terminate immediately following the close
of business on the final Stated Maturity of such Security or immediately following the close of
business on any earlier redemption date of such Security (so long as the Company does not default
in the payment of the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, due on such
redemption date), as the case may be.

          (c) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section
13.02(c) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released
from its obligations under Sections 5.03 and 5.04 and, to the extent specified
pursuant to Section 3.01, any other covenant applicable to such Securities with respect to
such Securities shall cease to be applicable to such Securities on and after the date the
conditions set forth in clause (c) of this Section 13.02 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be
not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of
Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall
continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such
covenant defeasance means that with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company may omit to
comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth
in any such Section or any such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in
any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and
such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Sections
6.01(D) or 6.01(G) otherwise, as the case may be.

60

 

          (d) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (b) or (c)
of this Section 13.02 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series:

     (A) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
(or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 7.09 who shall agree to comply
with the provisions of this Section 13.02 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the
purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated
solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (i) an amount in Dollars or in such
Foreign Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity or, if
such defeasance or covenant defeasance is to be effected in compliance with subsection (F)
below, on the relevant redemption date, as the case may be, (ii) Government Obligations applicable
to such Securities (determined on the basis of the currency in which such Securities are then
specified as payable at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or covenant defeasance is to be
effected in compliance with subsection (F) below, on the relevant redemption date, as the
case may be) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in
accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment
of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities, money in an amount,
or (iii) a combination thereof, in any case, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment
of such principal and interest, 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 other qualifying trustee) to pay and
discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Stated Maturity
of such principal or installment of principal or interest or the applicable redemption date, as the
case may be, and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such
Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture and of such Securities.

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

     (C) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an
Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of such deposit, and, solely in the case of defeasance under Section 13.02(b), no Event of
Default with respect to such Securities under clause (E) or (F) of Section
6.01 or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with
respect to such Securities under clause (E) or (F) of Section 6.01 shall
have occurred and be continuing at any time during the period ending on and including the 91st day
after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition to defeasance under
Section 13.02(b) shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

     (D) In the case of defeasance pursuant to Section 13.02(b), the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel stating that (x) the Company has
received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since
the date of this Indenture there has been a change in applicable United States Federal income tax
law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of independent counsel shall
confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss

61

 

for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be
subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred; or, in the case of covenant
defeasance pursuant to Section 13.02(c), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will
not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of
such covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant
defeasance had not occurred.

     (E) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance, as
the case may be, under this Indenture have been complied with.

     (F) If the monies or Government Obligations or combination thereof, as the case may be,
deposited under clause (A) above are sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if
any, and interest, if any, on and, to the extent provided in such clause (A), the Company
shall have given the Trustee irrevocable instructions to redeem such Securities on such date and to
provide notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture.

     (G) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 13.02(d), such defeasance or
covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms,
conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to
Section 3.01.

          (e) Subject to Section 13.05, all money and Government Obligations (or other property
as may be provided pursuant to Section 3.01) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section
13.02(e) and Section 13.03, the “Trustee”) pursuant to clause (d)(A) of
Section 13.02 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust
and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of
all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

     Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, if, after a
deposit referred to in Section 13.02(d)(A) has been made, (i) the Holder of a Security in
respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section
3.01 or the terms of such Security to receive payment in a currency other than that in which
the deposit pursuant to Section 13.02(d)(A) has been made in respect of such Security, or
(ii) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 13.02(d)(A) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be
deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on, with respect to, such Security as the
same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in
the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security

62

 

into the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or
Conversion Event based on (x) in the case of payments made pursuant to clause (i) above,
the applicable market exchange rate for such currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to
each payment date, or (y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate
for such Foreign currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.

     The Company shall pay and the Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge, imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this
Section 13.02 or the principal or interest received in respect thereof other than any such
tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding
Securities.

     Anything in this Section 13.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon written order any money or Government
Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause
(d)(A) of this Section 13.02 which, 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 which would then be required to be deposited to effect
a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 13.02.

13.03 Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities.

     All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 13.01 and 13.02, or
received by the Trustee in respect of obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 13.01, or 13.02, shall be held in trust until such time as such money is to
be applied by it to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities, for the payment of
which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon
for the principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest, if any, thereon. Moneys held under this
Section 13.03 need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law,
and the Trustee shall be under no liability with respect to interest on any such moneys.

13.04 Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent.

     In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by
any Paying Agent, other than the Trustee, under this Indenture shall, upon and in accordance with
demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released
from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

13.05 Return of Unclaimed Moneys.

     Any moneys deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent not applied but remaining unclaimed
by the Holders of Securities for two years after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest, if any, on such Securities shall have become due and payable shall be repaid to
the Company by the Trustee or such agent on written demand; and the Holder of any of the Securities
entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter look only to the Company for the payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with respect to such

63

 

moneys shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once a
week for two consecutive weeks (in each case on any day of the week) in an Authorized Newspaper in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and once in an authorized newspaper in London,
notice that said moneys have not been so applied and that after a date named therein, which shall
not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing or publication, any unclaimed balance of
said moneys then remaining will be returned to the Company.

13.06 Reinstatement.

     If the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee appointed pursuant to Section 13.02(d)(A))
or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any moneys or Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 13.01 or Section 13.02(d)(A) to pay any principal of or premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on, with respect to the Securities of any series by reason of any legal
proceeding or 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 such deposit had
occurred, until such time as the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or Paying Agent is permitted
to apply all such moneys and Government Obligations to pay the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series as contemplated by Section 13.01 or
Section 13.02 as the case may be, and Section 13.03; provided, however, that if the
Company makes any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, in
respect of the Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as
aforesaid, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such payment from the
funds held by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or Paying Agent.

XIV. IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

14.01 Personal Immunity from Liability of Incorporators, Stockholders, Etc.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture or any
indenture supplemental hereto, or of any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in
respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator or against any past, present or future
stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either
directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, all such liability and any and all such claims being hereby expressly waived and
released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and issue
of the Securities.

proceeding in any such court or any appellate court with respect thereto. The Company irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action, suit or proceeding in any such court.

15.02 Waiver of Immunities.

     To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of

Exhibit 10.1

QLOGIC CORPORATION

2005 PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

	1.	 	General.

     These Terms and Conditions of Nonqualified Stock Option (these “Terms”) apply to a
particular stock option (“Option”) to purchase shares of Common Stock of QLogic Corporation (the
“Corporation”) if incorporated by reference in the Notice of Grant Agreement (“Grant Notice”)
corresponding to that particular grant. The recipient of the Option identified in the Grant Notice
is referred to as the “Grantee.” The per share exercise price of the Option as set forth on the
Grants tab on the CEFS website (www.ubs.com/cefs/qlgc) is referred to as the “Exercise Price.” The
effective date of grant of the Option as set forth on the Grants tab on the CEFS website is
referred to as the “Award Date.” The Option was granted under and subject to the QLogic
Corporation 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and these Terms. Capitalized terms are
defined in the Plan if not defined herein. The Option has been granted to the Grantee in addition
to, and not in lieu of, any other form of compensation otherwise payable or to be paid to the
Grantee. The Grant Notice and these Terms are collectively referred to as the “Option Agreement”
applicable to the Option, or this “Option Agreement.”

	2.	 	Vesting; Limits on Exercise; Incentive Stock Option Status.

     Subject to adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan and further subject to early
termination under Section 5 of these Terms and Section 7.4 of the Plan, the Option shall become
vested as follows: (1) 25% of the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option
shall vest on the first anniversary of the Award Date; and (2) an additional 6.25% of the total
number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option shall vest on the last day of each calendar
quarter following the calendar quarter in which the first vesting date occurs until the Option is
vested as to all of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto. The Option may be exercised only
to the extent the Option is vested and exercisable.

	 	•	 	Cumulative Exercisability. To the extent that the Option is vested and
exercisable, the Grantee has the right to exercise the Option (to the extent not
previously exercised), and such right shall continue, until the expiration or earlier
termination of the Option.
	 
	 	•	 	No Fractional Shares. Fractional share interests shall be disregarded, but
may be cumulated.
	 
	 	•	 	Minimum Exercise. No fewer than 100 shares of Common Stock (subject to
adjustment under Section 7.1 of the Plan) may be purchased at any one time, unless
the number purchased is the total number at the time exercisable under the Option.
	 
	 	•	 	Nonqualified Stock Option. The Option is a nonqualified stock option and is
not, and shall not be, an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Code.

1

 

	3.	 	Continuance of Employment/Service Required; No Employment/Service Commitment.

     The vesting schedule requires continued employment or service through each applicable
vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Option and the
rights and benefits under this Option Agreement. Employment or service for only a portion of the
vesting period, even if a substantial portion, will not entitle the Grantee to any proportionate
vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a termination
of employment or services as provided in Section 5 below or under the Plan.

     Nothing contained in this Option Agreement or the Plan constitutes a continued employment or
service commitment by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, affects the Grantee’s status, if
he or she is an employee, as an employee at will who is subject to termination without cause,
confers upon the Grantee any right to remain employed by or in service to the Corporation or any
Subsidiary, interferes in any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary at any time
to terminate such employment or service, or affects the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary
to increase or decrease the Grantee’s other compensation.

	4.	 	Manner of Exercise.

     4.1 Method of Exercise of Option.

     The Corporation has established a web – based system for managing and exercising Options.
Currently, UBS Financial Services, Inc. manages Option exercises. In order to exercise an Option,
the Grantee must contact UBS either by logging on to the UBS OneSource website
(http://www.ubs.com/onesource/qlgc) or by calling the UBS Call Center at 1-866-756-4421. UBS will
request from the Grantee information regarding the Option to be exercised, the method of payment of
the exercise price and the order type. In addition, the Grantee may elect to have income taxes
withheld at higher than the statutory rate. In order to comply with the terms of the Plan, the
Grantee also must deliver:

	 	•	 	payment in full for the Exercise Price of the shares to be purchased in cash, check
or by electronic funds transfer, or utilizing the UBS same day sale procedures;
	 
	 	•	 	any written statements or agreements required pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Plan; and
	 
	 	•	 	satisfaction of the tax withholding provisions of Section 8.5 of the Plan.

The Administrator also may, but is not required to, authorize a non-cash payment alternative by
notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator. For other
methods of payment for exercise, contact the Administrator.

     4.2 Responsibility for Taxes. The ultimate liability for any and all tax, social
insurance and payroll tax withholding legally payable by an employee under applicable law
(including without limitation laws of foreign jurisdictions)(“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains
Grantee’s responsibility and liability and the Corporation (a) makes no representations or
undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the
Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option and the subsequent sale of the

2

 

shares of Common Stock subject to the Option; and (b) does not commit to structure the terms of the
grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items.

          Prior to exercise of the Option, Grantee shall pay or make adequate arrangements
satisfactory to the Administrator to satisfy all withholding obligations of the Corporation. In
this regard, Grantee authorizes the Corporation to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items
legally payable by Grantee from his or her wages or other cash compensation paid to Grantee by the
Corporation or from proceeds of sale. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local
law, the Corporation may sell or arrange for the sale of shares of Common Stock that Grantee is due
to acquire to meet the minimum withholding obligations for Tax-Related Items. Finally, Grantee
shall pay to the Corporation any amount of any Tax-Related Items that the Corporation may be
required to withhold as a result of Grantee’s participation in the Plan or Grantee’s purchase of
shares of Common Stock that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.

	5.	 	Early Termination of Option.

     5.1 Expiration Date. Subject to earlier termination as provided below in this Section 5, the
Option will terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Award Date (the “Expiration
Date”).

     5.2 Possible Termination of Option upon Change in Control. The Option is subject to
termination in connection with a Change in Control Event or certain similar reorganization events
as provided in Section 7.4 of the Plan.

     5.3 Termination of Option upon a Termination of Grantee’s Employment or Services. Subject to
earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or pursuant to Section 5.2 above, if the
Grantee ceases to be employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary,
the following rules shall apply (the last day that the Grantee is employed by or provides services
to the Corporation or a Subsidiary is referred to as the Grantee’s “Severance Date”):

	 	•	 	other than as expressly provided below in this Section 5.3, (a) the Grantee will
have until the date that is 3 months after his or her Severance Date to exercise the
Option (or portion thereof) to the extent that it was vested on the Severance Date, (b)
the Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance Date, shall terminate on the
Severance Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 3-month period
following the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at
the close of business on the last day of the 3-month period;
	 
	 	•	 	if the termination of the Grantee’s employment or services is the result of the
Grantee’s death or Total Disability (as defined below), (a) the Grantee (or his or her
beneficiary or personal representative, as the case may be) will have until the date
that is 12 months after the Grantee’s Severance Date to exercise the Option, (b) the
Option, to the extent not vested on the Severance Date, shall terminate on the Severance
Date, and (c) the Option, to the extent exercisable for the 12-month period

	 	 	 	following
the Severance Date and not exercised during such period, shall terminate at the close of
business on the last day of the 12-month period;
	 
	 	•	 	if the Grantee’s employment or services are terminated by the Corporation or a
Subsidiary for Cause (as defined below), the Option (whether vested or not) shall
terminate on the Severance Date.

     For purposes of the Option, “Total Disability” means a “permanent and total disability”
(within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the
Administrator).

     For purposes of the Option, “Cause” means that the Grantee:

	 	(1)	 	has been negligent in the discharge of his or her duties to the Corporation or any
of its Subsidiaries, has refused to perform stated or assigned duties or is incompetent
in or (other than by reason of a disability or analogous condition) incapable of
performing those duties;
	 
	 	(2)	 	has been dishonest or committed or engaged in an act of theft, embezzlement or
fraud, a breach of confidentiality, an unauthorized disclosure or use of inside
information, customer lists, trade secrets or other confidential information; has
breached a fiduciary duty, or willfully and materially violated any other duty, law,
rule, regulation or policy of the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate
of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; or has been convicted of a felony or
misdemeanor (other than minor traffic violations or similar offenses);
	 
	 	(3)	 	has materially breached any of the provisions of any agreement with the
Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries; or
	 
	 	(4)	 	has engaged in unfair competition with, or otherwise acted intentionally in a
manner injurious to the reputation, business or assets of, the Corporation, any of its
Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; has
improperly induced a vendor or customer to break or terminate any contract with the
Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries; or has induced a principal for whom the Corporation, any of its
Subsidiaries or any affiliate of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries acts as
agent to terminate such agency relationship.

     In all events the Option is subject to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the
Option or as contemplated by Section 5.2. The Administrator shall be the sole judge of whether the
Grantee continues to render employment or services for purposes of this Option Agreement.

	6.	 	Non-Transferability.

     The Option and any other rights of the Grantee under this Option Agreement or the Plan
are nontransferable and exercisable only by the Grantee, except as set forth in Section 5.7 of the
Plan.

	7.	 	Adjustment.

     The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, as well as the Exercise
Price of the Option, are subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Plan.

	8.	 	Data Privacy Consent.

     Grantee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in
electronic or other form, of Grantee’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as
applicable, the Corporation, its Subsidiaries, or affiliates for the exclusive purpose of
implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in the Plan.

     Grantee further understands that the Corporation, its Subsidiaries or affiliates hold certain
personal information about Grantee, including, but not limited to, Grantee’s name, home address and
telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary,
nationality, job title, any shares of stock held in the Corporation and details of all Options or
other entitlements to shares of Common Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or
outstanding in Grantee’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the
Plan (“Data”). Grantee understands that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in
the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located
in Grantee’s country, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data
privacy laws and protections than Grantee’s country. Grantee authorizes the recipients to receive,
possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of
implementing, administering and managing Grantee’s participation in the Plan, including any
requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom
Grantee may elect to deposit any shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option.
Grantee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer
and manage Grantee’s participation in the Plan. Grantee understands that he or she may, at any
time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require
any necessary amendments to Data or withdraw the consents herein by contacting the Corporation’s
human resources department. Grantee understands that withdrawal of consent may affect Grantee’s
ability to exercise or realize benefits from the Option.

	9.	 	Nature of Grant.

     In accepting the grant of the Option, Grantee acknowledges that: (i) the Plan is
established voluntarily by the Corporation, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified,
suspended or terminated by the Corporation at any time, as provided in the Plan and these Terms;
(ii) the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or
other right to receive future grants of stock options, or benefits in lieu of stock options even if
stock options have been granted repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future
grants will be at the sole discretion of the Corporation; (iv) Grantee’s participation in the Plan
shall not create a right to further employment and shall not interfere with the ability of the
Corporation or its subsidiaries to terminate Grantee’s employment relationship at any time with or
without cause; (v) Grantee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (vi) in the event that Grantee
is not an employee of the Corporation, the Option grant will not be interpreted to form an
employment contract or relationship with the Corporation, and furthermore, the

5

 

Option grant will
not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Corporation and any of its Subsidiaries
or affiliates; (vii) the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and
cannot be predicted with certainty; (viii) if the underlying shares of Common Stock do not increase
in value, the Option will have no value; (ix) if Grantee exercises his or her Option and obtains
shares of Common Stock, the value of those shares of
Common Stock acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise
Price; and (x) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from termination of the
Option or diminution in value of the Option or shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the
Option and Grantee irrevocably releases the Corporation and its Subsidiaries and affiliates from
any such claim that may arise.

	10.	 	Notices.

     Any notice to be given under the terms of this Option Agreement shall be in writing and

Grantee at the address last reflected on the Corporation’s payroll records, or at such other
address as either party may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be
delivered in person or shall be enclosed in a properly sealed envelope addressed as aforesaid,
registered or certified, and deposited (postage and registry or certification fee prepaid) in a
post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. Any such

bound by the terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement. The Grantee acknowledges having read and
understanding the Plan and this Option Agreement. Unless otherwise expressly provided in other
sections of this Option Agreement, provisions of the Plan that confer discretionary authority on

Board or the Administrator so conferred by appropriate action of the Board or the Administrator
under the Plan after the date hereof.

	12.	 	Entire Agreement.

     This Option Agreement and the Plan together constitute the entire agreement and supersede
all prior understandings and agreements, written or oral, of the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof. The Plan and this Option Agreement may be amended pursuant to Section 8.6
of the Plan. Such amendment must be in writing and signed by the Corporation. The Corporation
may, however, unilaterally waive any provision hereof in writing to the extent such waiver does not
adversely affect the interests of the Grantee hereunder, but no such waiver shall operate as or be
construed to be a subsequent waiver of the same provision or a waiver of any other provision
hereof.
