SECTION 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

          In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion

but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to

officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or
opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel or representations by

signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and,
except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such

- 9 -

 

instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as
the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution
of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor
of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

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

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

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

     The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of
Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the
Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with
respect to, the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration
referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section
507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512. If any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no
other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless
taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record
date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set
shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action
is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this

- 10 -

 

paragraph, the Company, at its own
expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the
relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106.

     With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company may designate any
day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or
later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new
Expiration Date is given to the Trustee in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the
relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration
Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this
Section, the Company shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record
date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration
Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be
later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

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

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

     (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address
of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at
any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

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

- 11 -

 

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

SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

          If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is
required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such
required provision shall control.

SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

          The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 109. Successors and Assigns.

          All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 110. Separability Clause.

          In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture.

          Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 112. Governing Law.

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

SECTION 113. Legal Holidays.

          In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any
Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if
any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest
Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity; provided that, unless otherwise
provided in the terms of the Securities, no interest shall

- 12 -

 

accrue for the period from and after
such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be

acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal of this
Security shall bear interest at the rate of ___% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue from the date of such default in payment

demand for payment to the date payment of such interest has been made or duly provided for,
and such interest shall also be payable on demand.]

hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

          [If applicable, insert — The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time

determining the amount. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable

obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and premium and interest, if any, on the
Securities of this series shall terminate.]

          The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the
rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at
any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also
contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the
Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of
such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by
the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Security.

          [As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security
shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall
have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee

- 17 -

 

to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee
reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted
by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any
premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.]

          No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

          As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

          The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $                     and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a
like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different
authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

          Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

          All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning
assigned to them in the Indenture.

SECTION 204. Additional Provisions Required in Global Security.

          Any Global Security issued hereunder shall, in addition to the provisions contained in
Sections 202 and 203, bear a legend in substantially the following form:

- 18 -

 

     “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture
hereinafter referred to and is registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee
of a Depositary. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the
name of a person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited
circumstances described in the Indenture and may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the
Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary.”

          Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of
Securities, any Global Security shall provide, in addition to the provisions set forth in Sections
202 and 203 and the preceding paragraph, that the Depositary will not sell, assign, transfer or
otherwise convey any beneficial interest in such Global Security unless such beneficial interest is
in an amount equal to an authorized denomination for Securities of such series, and that the
Depositary, by accepting such Global Security, agrees to be bound by such provision.

option of the Holder or at the option of the Company, the period during which

     (21) any addition to, deletion from or change in the covenants set forth in
Article 10 which applies to Securities of the series; and

          All Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination
and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above
and (subject to Section 303) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers’
Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any
one series need not be issued at one time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened
for issuances of additional Securities of such series.

          If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board
Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of
the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series. If all of the Securities of any
series established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution are not to be issued at one time,
it shall not be necessary to deliver a record of such action at the time of issuance of each
Security of such series, but an appropriate record of such action shall be delivered at or before
the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.

SECTION 302. Denominations.

          The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such
denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such
provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be
issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

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

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

          At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and make
available for delivery such Securities. If all of the Securities of any series are not to be
issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series
shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the

- 22 -

 

issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such
as interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section
601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,

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

     (b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established
in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

     (c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such
Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general
equity principles and, if applicable, to provisions of law which may require that a
judgment for money damages rendered by a court in the United States be expressed in
United States dollars.

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

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

          Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

          No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to
the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written

- 23 -

 

statement (which
need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating
that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this
Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder
and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.

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

          If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities
of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive
Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at
the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in
exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and tenor of
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such
series.

SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

          The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register
(the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place
of Payment being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of
Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for
the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

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

          At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of
the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the

- 24 -

 

Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

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

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

          No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

          The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection for
redemption of Securities of like tenor and of the series of which such Security is a part and
ending at the close of business on the earliest date on which the relevant notice of redemption is
deemed to have been given to all Holders of Securities of such series to be redeemed, 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.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to this
Section 305 for Securities registered in the names of Persons other than the Depositary or its
nominee for such Global Security only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time such
Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and the Depositary for such Global Security is then required by applicable law or
regulation to be so registered, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company
Order that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities. Any Global Security that
is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities registered
in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, a Global Security may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee
of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of
Securities evidenced in whole or in part by a Global Security, the Depositary may not sell, assign,
transfer or otherwise convey any beneficial interest in a Global

- 25 -

 

Security evidencing all or part of
the Securities of such series unless such beneficial interest is in an amount equal to an
authorized denomination for Securities of such series.

SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

          If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and
of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

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

          Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in 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 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Securities.

SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

          Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of
Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such interest.

          Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of

- 26 -

 

having
been such holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

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

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

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

SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

          Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name

- 27 -

 

such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any
agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to
any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as
between a Depositary and holders of beneficial interests in any Global Security, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary as Holder of such Global
Security.

SECTION 309. Cancellation.

          All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or
for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the
Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as
directed by a Company Order.

SECTION 310. Computation of Interest.

          Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series,
interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture when

     (1) either

     (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
(i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which

- 28 -

 

have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose

cancellation

     (i) have become due and payable, or

     (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity

Company,

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

Company to the Trustee under Section 607, and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under
Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.

SECTION 402. Application of Trust Money.

          Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the

provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose
payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

     (5) acceleration of any debt aggregating in excess of $100,000,000 (including

Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement
of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it
of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any
applicable Federal or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition
or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator,

it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the
taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

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

SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

          If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs
and is continuing and has not been cured, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the
principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the
terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a
notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such
declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or 501(8) with respect to Securities of any
series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series
(or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof)

- 31 -

 

shall automatically,
and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become
immediately due and payable.

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

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

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

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

     (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest
upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
Securities, and

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

     and

     (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than
the nonpayment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due
solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
Section 513.

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

          Upon receipt by the Trustee of any declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment
thereof, with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is represented by a Global
Security, the Trustee shall establish a record date for determining Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series entitled to join in such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and
annulment, as the case may be, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the
Trustee receives such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be.
The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to join in such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may
be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that
unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall
have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the day
which is 90 days after such record date, such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and

- 32 -

 

annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy
of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new declaration of
acceleration, or rescission or annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a
declaration of acceleration, or rescission or annulment thereof, which has been cancelled pursuant
to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 502.

SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

          The Company covenants that if

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

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

     (3) default is made in the making or satisfaction of any sinking fund payment
or analogous obligation when the same becomes due pursuant to the terms of any
Security,

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

          If the Company fails to pay such amounts promptly upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of
the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

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

- 33 -

 

SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

          In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

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

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 607.

          Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding;
provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar
committee.

SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

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

SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected.

          Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on
account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the

- 34 -

 

Securities and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and

     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of
which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest, respectively.

SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits.

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

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

     (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee
hereunder;

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

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

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

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

SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

               Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the Stated

- 35 -

 

Maturity or
Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

SECTION 512. Control by Holders.

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

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

          (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is
not inconsistent with such direction.

- 36 -

 

          Upon receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect to Securities of a series all
or part of which is represented by a Global Security, the Trustee shall establish a record date for
determining Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such direction,
which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such direction.
The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have been obtained
prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such direction shall automatically and
without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this
paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such
90-day period, a new direction identical to a direction which has been cancelled pursuant to the
proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 512.

SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

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

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Persons entitled to waive any past default hereunder. If a record date is fixed,
the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to waive any default hereunder, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such
record date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have been
obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver previously
given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further
effect.

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

SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs.

          All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant

- 37 -

 

in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company,
to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders,
holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

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

ARTICLE SIX

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

     (1) 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

     (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely,
as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
the requirements of this Indenture; 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.

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

          (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

- 38 -

 

     (1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection
(a) of this Section;

     (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment reasonably made
in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee

and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified
in Section 501(5) 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, the

Act that differences exist between the provisions of this
Indenture with respect to Securities of that series and one or more
other series or the provisions of such other indenture or indentures
which are so likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to
make it necessary in the public interest or for the protection of
investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under this
Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series and such
other series or under such other indenture or indentures, or

     (ii) the Company shall have sustained the burden of proving, on
application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing
thereon, that trusteeship under this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of that series and such other series or such other
indenture or indentures is not so likely to involve a material
conflict of interest as to make it necessary in the public interest
or for the protection of investors to disqualify the Trustee from
acting as such under this Indenture with respect to the Securities
of that series and such other series or under such other indenture
or indentures;

- 42 -

 

     (2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is an obligor
upon the Securities or an underwriter for the Company;

     (3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly
controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with the Company or an

     (4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is a director,
officer, partner, employee, appointee or representative of the Company, or of an
underwriter (other than the Trustee itself) for the Company who is currently engaged
in the business of underwriting, except that (i) one individual may be a director or
an executive officer, or both, of the Trustee and a director or an executive
officer, or both, of the Company but may not be at the same time an executive
officer of both the Trustee and the Company; (ii) if and so long as the number of
directors of the Trustee in office is more than nine, one additional individual may
be a director or an executive officer, or both, of the Trustee and a director of the
Company; and (iii) the Trustee may be designated by the Company or by any
underwriter for the Company to act in the capacity of transfer agent, registrar,
custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent, escrow agent or depositary, or in any other
similar capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Subsection,
to act as trustee, whether under an indenture or otherwise;

     (5) 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is beneficially owned
either by the Company or by any director, partner or executive officer thereof, or
20% or more of such voting securities is beneficially owned, collectively, by any
two or more of such persons; or 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee

Company;

     (7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for
an obligation which is in default (as hereinafter in this Subsection defined), 5% or
more of the voting securities of any person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee,
owns 10% or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or indirectly or
is under direct or indirect common control with, the Company;

     (8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for
an obligation which is in default (as hereinafter in this Subsection defined), 10%
or more of any class of security of any person who, to the

- 43 -

 

knowledge of the Trustee,
owns 50% or more of the voting securities of the Company; or

     (9) the Trustee owns, on May 15 in any calendar year, in the capacity of
executor, administrator, testamentary or inter vivos trustee, guardian, committee or
conservator, or in any other similar capacity, an aggregate of 25% or more of the
voting securities, or of any class of security, of any person, the beneficial
ownership of a specified percentage of which would have constituted a conflicting

securities of which the Trustee acquired ownership through becoming executor,
administrator or testamentary trustee or an estate which included them, the
provisions of the preceding sentence shall not apply, for a period of two years from

due and payable, and such failure continues for 30 days thereafter, the Trustee
shall make a prompt check of its holdings of such securities in any of the
above-mentioned capacities as of the date of the expiration of such 30-day period,
and after such date, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all
such securities so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over such
securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such failure shall continue, be
considered as though beneficially owned by the Trustee for the purposes of
paragraphs (6), (7) and (8) of this Subsection.

          The specification of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of this Subsection shall
not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such percentages of the securities of a person
is or is not necessary or sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of
paragraph (3) or (7) of this Subsection.

          For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this Subsection only, (i) the terms
“security” and “securities” shall include only such securities as are generally known as corporate

participation in any such undertaking, or has participated or has had a

differences in the interest rates or maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed
sufficient to constitute them securities of different classes, whether or not they
are issued under a single indenture.

          (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by

Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and
that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular
series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after
such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority

retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor
Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the
manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such

Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

          (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all
Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company
or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of
the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all
property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

          (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to,
and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or

- 48 -

 

those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested
in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust 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; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but,
on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates.

          (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in Subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case
may be.

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

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, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible
under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered,
by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated
with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

          (a) Subject to Subsection (b) of this Section, if the Trustee shall be or become a creditor,
directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company within four months prior to a default,
as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and
until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for
the benefit of the Trustee individually, the Holders of the Securities and the holders of other
indenture securities, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section:

- 49 -

 

     (1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and owing upon
any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or interest, effected after the
beginning of such four month period and valid as against the Company and its other
creditors, except any such reduction resulting from the receipt of disposition of
any property described in paragraph (2) of this Subsection or from the exercise of
any right of set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in
bankruptcy had been filed by or against the Company upon the date of such default;
and

     (2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claims as such
creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or
otherwise, after the beginning of such four month period, or an amount equal to the
proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject, however, to
the rights, if any, of the Company and its other creditors in such property or such
proceeds.

Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee:

     (A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of any
such claim by any Person (other than the Company) who is liable thereon, and
(ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the Trustee to
a third Person, and (iii) distributions made in cash, securities or other
property in respect of claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or
receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal
Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law;

     (B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held by it as
security for any such claim, if such property was so held prior to the
beginning of such four month period;

     (C) to realize for its own account, but only to the extent of the claim
hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for
any such claim, if such claim was created after the beginning of such
four month period and such property was received as security therefor
simultaneously with the creation thereof; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall sustain the burden of proving that at the time such
property was so received the Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that
a default, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section, would occur within
such four month period; or

     (D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B) or (C)
against the release of any property held as security for such claim as
provided in paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the extent of the
fair value of such property.

          For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property substituted after the beginning of
such four month period for property held as security at the time such claim was created shall, to
the extent of the fair value of the property released, have the same status as the

- 50 -

 

property
released and, to the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in
renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any pre-existing
claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such pre-existing
claim.

          If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special
account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned among the Trustee, the Holders and the
holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, the Holders and the holders
of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and
payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in
proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law, the
same percentage of their respective claims, calculated before crediting to the claim of the Trustee
anything on account of the receipt by it from the Company of the funds and property in such special
account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee and the Holders and the
holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy
or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act or
applicable State law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness
represented by their respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the
funds and property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any
claim, the term “dividends” shall include any distribution with respect to such claim, in
bankruptcy or receivership or proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act
or applicable State law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities or other property,
but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such
claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or proceedings for reorganization is
pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion among the Trustee, the Holders and the holders of
other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and
property held in such special account and proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment,
in whole or in part, to give the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the
fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee and the Holders and the holders of other
indenture securities with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be
necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or
other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to make a
specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such
claims, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula.

          Any Trustee that has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such four month period
shall be subject to the provisions of this Subsection as though such resignation or removal had not
occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such four month
period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this Subsection if and only if the following
conditions exist:

     (i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim, which would
have given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had
continued as Trustee, occurred after the beginning of such four
month period; and

- 51 -

 

     (ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred
within four months after such resignation or removal.

          (b) There shall be excluded from the operation of Subsection (a) of this Section a creditor
relationship arising from:

     (1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any indenture, or
any security or securities having a maturity of one year or more at the time of
acquisition by the Trustee;

     (2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent
jurisdiction or by this Indenture, for the purpose of preserving any property which
shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture or of discharging tax
liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon, if notice of such advances and
of the circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the Holders at the
time and in the manner provided in this Indenture;

     (3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of
trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent,
fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar capacity;

     (4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or premises
rented; or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or securities sold in a cash
transaction, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section;

     (5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a corporation organized
under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which
is directly or indirectly a creditor of the Company; and

     (6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of any drafts, bills
of exchange, acceptances or obligations that fall within the classification of
self-liquidating paper, as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section.

     (c) For the purposes of this Section only:

     (1) the term “cash transaction” means any transaction in which: full payment
for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods
or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers
and payable upon demand;

     (2) the term “Company” means any obligor upon the Securities;

     (3) the term “default” means any failure to make payment in full of the
principal of or interest on any of the Securities or upon the other indenture
securities when and as such principal or interest becomes due and payable;

     (4) the term “Federal Bankruptcy Act” means the Bankruptcy Act or Title 11 of
the United States Code;

- 52 -

 

     (5) the term “other indenture securities” means securities upon which the
Company is an obligor outstanding under any other indenture (i) under which the
Trustee is also trustee, (ii) which contains provisions substantially similar to the
provisions of this Section, and (iii) under which a default exists at the time of
the apportionment of the funds and property held in such special account; and

     (6) the term “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange,
acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the company
for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment,
storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is secured by documents
evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise
or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or
merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received
by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with
the Company arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft,
bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.

SECTION 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

     The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series
of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities
of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial
redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if
authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under
such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less
than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent 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 in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Section.

     Any corporation into which an 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 such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this

- 53 -

 

Section,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.

     An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee
and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of
the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating
Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers
and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under
the provisions of this Section.

     The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation as shall be agreed to in writing between the Trustee and each Authenticating Agent for
all services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such
payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607.

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

     This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the

the substance thereof.

          In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the

of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by
the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities

COVENANTS

SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

          The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will

          The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or
agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this
Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company

          The company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes
and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no
such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to
maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such
purposes. The Company 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.

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

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

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

          The Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee
to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:

     (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any) or interest on Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided;

     (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor
upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal (and
premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series; and

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

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

          Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company in trust
for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security of any series
and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest
has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as
an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of
the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect

- 63 -

 

to such trust money, and all liability of the Company
as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such
money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 1004. Corporate Existence.

          Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory)
and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company.

SECTION 1005. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

          The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall
become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the
Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary,
and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a
lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such
tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings.

SECTION 1006. Restrictions on Liens.

          The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume
or permit to exist any indebtedness secured by any Lien upon (i) any of its Principal Property or

Subsidiary, unless, in each case (i) or (ii), the outstanding Securities shall be secured equally
and ratably with (or prior to) such indebtedness secured by such Lien; provided that the
foregoing restrictions do not apply to indebtedness secured by:

with or into or consolidated with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (b) otherwise
becomes a Subsidiary of the Company; provided, that such Liens were in existence prior
to such merger or consolidation or such Person’s becoming a Subsidiary and do not extend to any
assets other than those of the Person merged into or consolidated with the Company or the
Company’s Subsidiary;

- 64 -

 

   (3) Liens on property existing at the time of purchase, lease or other acquisition
thereof, or to secure the payment of all or part of the purchase price of such property, or to
secure debt incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase
price of such property or construction or improvements thereon, which indebtedness is incurred
or guaranteed prior to, at the time of, or within 180 days after the later of such acquisition,
completion of such improvements or construction, or commencement of full operation of such
property;

   (4) Liens existing on the date hereof;

   (5) Liens for taxes, assessments, governmental charges, levies or claims that are not yet
delinquent or that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly
instituted and diligently concluded;

   (6) Liens on receivables and related assets to reflect sales of receivables pursuant to a
Receivables Program;

   (7) Liens securing hedging obligations;

   (8) Liens on the Company’s property or that of a Restricted Subsidiary in favor of the
United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, or in favor of any other country

contract or statute or indebtedness incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of financing all or
any part of the purchase price or the cost of construction of the property subject to such
Liens (including, but not limited to, indebtedness secured by Liens incurred in connection with

          Notwithstanding the above, the Company or the Subsidiaries may, without securing the
Securities, issue, assume or guarantee secured indebtedness which would otherwise be subject to the
foregoing restrictions; provided that after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of
indebtedness that would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions then outstanding (not
including (i) secured indebtedness permitted under the foregoing exceptions, (ii)

- 65 -

 

indebtedness that
is secured equally and ratably with (or on a basis subordinated to) the Securities or (iii) the
Securities) does not exceed 15% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as of the end of
the previous fiscal year.

SECTION 1007. Statement by Officers as to Default.

          The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the
best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance
of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of Sections 1004, 1006 and 1009, and if the Company
shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they
may have knowledge.

SECTION 1008. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

          The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
condition set forth in Sections 1004 and 1005, inclusive, with respect to the Securities of any
series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Security such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive compliance in such
instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver
shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent 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.

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Persons entitled to waive compliance with any term, provision or condition referred
to in the immediately preceding paragraph. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record
date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to waive
compliance with any such term, provision or condition, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date; provided, that unless such requisite percentage in principal amount shall
have been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver
previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of
no further effect.

SECTION 1009. Restrictions on Sale and Leasebacks.

          If so provided in the action establishing the terms of a series of Securities, sale and

   (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled hereunder to issue, assume
or guarantee indebtedness secured by a Lien upon such Principal Property at least equal in
amount to the Attributable Debt in respect of such transaction without equally and ratably
securing the debt securities, provided that such Attributable Debt shall thereupon be
deemed to be debt subject to the provisions described above under “Restrictions on Liens”;

- 66 -

 

   (2) the Company applies an amount in cash equal to such Attributable Debt to the retirement
of non-subordinated indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary within 180 days;

   (3) the Company applies an amount in cash equal to such Attributable Debt to the
purchase of other property that will constitute Principal Property having a value at
least equal to the net proceeds of the sale; or

   (4) the Company or that Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, delivers to the
Trustee for cancellation debt securities in an aggregate principal amount at least equal
to the net proceeds of the sale.

   The restrictions described under clauses (1) through (4) above shall not apply to:

   (1) any transaction involving a lease with a term of up to five years;

   (2) leases between the Company and a Subsidiary or between Subsidiaries; or

   (3) leases of any Principal Property entered into within 120 days after the later of the

Transactions that would not otherwise be permitted in accordance with the limitations described
above if the sum of the aggregate amount of all of the Company’s indebtedness and the indebtedness
of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is secured by Liens on any of the Company’s Principal
Properties and the Principal Properties of any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries (other than
(i) indebtedness secured solely by liens permitted under Section 1006, (ii) indebtedness that is secured equally and
ratably with (or on a basis subordinated to) the Securities and (iii) the Securities) and the
aggregate amount of all the Company’s Attributable Debt and the Attributable Debt of the Company’s
Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to all Sale and Leaseback Transactions outstanding at such
time (other than Sale and Leaseback Transactions permitted in accordance herewith) would not exceed
15% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

          The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution.
In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the

(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such
Redemption Date, of the tenor, if applicable, of the Securities to be redeemed, and of the
principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of
Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of
such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

          If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities
of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of such series subject to such redemption and not previously called for redemption, by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the election
for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that
series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such varies of a
denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. If less
than all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed, the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor
not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

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

          For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to

30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed,
at his address appearing in the Security Register.

          All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date,

     (2) the Redemption Price,

     (3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be

- 68 -

 

     (4) the CUSIP numbers of the Securities to be redeemed,

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

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

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

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

SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

          Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except
if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities
which are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

          Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security
for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided,
however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular
Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

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

SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

          Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment
therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new
Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any

- 69 -

 

authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed
portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Global Security is so surrendered,
such new Security so issued shall be a new Global Security.

SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.

          The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of such series.

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

Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as
provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

			
	SECTION 1202.	 	Satisfaction of Sinking Fund

Payments with Securities.     

          The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously

redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through
the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with
respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such
Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have
not
been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose
by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly.

SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

          Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which
is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202
and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days prior
to each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon
such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the

- 70 -

 

expense of the Company in the manner
provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

			
	SECTION 1301.	 	Applicability of Article: Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance

or Covenant Defeasance.                    

          Unless provision is made pursuant to Section 301 for neither (a) defeasance of the Securities
of a series under Section 1302 nor (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under
Section 1303, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with
the other provisions of this Article Thirteen, shall be applicable to the Securities of such
series, and the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the
Securities of such series, elect to have either Section 1302 (if applicable) or Section 1303 (if
applicable) be applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the
conditions set forth below in this Article Thirteen.

SECTION 1302. Defeasance and Discharge.

          Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section, the Company shall
be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities
of such series on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below are satisfied but
subject to satisfaction of the conditions subsequent set forth below (hereinafter, “defeasance”).
For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and to
have satisfied all its other obligations under 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: (A) the rights of
Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described
in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s
obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1001, 1002 and 1003, and
(3) such obligations as shall rights, powers, trusts, in respect of this Article Thirteen. Subject
to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the Company may exercise its option under this Section
1302 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1303 with respect to the
Securities of such series. Following a defeasance, payment of the Securities of such series may not
be accelerated because of an Event of Default.

SECTION 1303. Covenant Defeasance.

          Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section, the Company shall
be released from its obligations under Section 801, Sections 1005, 1006, and 1009, any covenants
provided pursuant to Section 901 for the benefit of the Holders of such

- 71 -

 

Securities and any other
Section applicable to such
Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to
this provision and the occurrence of an event of default specified in Sections 501(4) through
501(8), inclusive, shall be deemed not to be an Event of Default with respect to the Outstanding
Securities of such series on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below are
satisfied but subject to satisfaction of the conditions subsequent set forth below (hereinafter,
“covenant defeasance”). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the
Outstanding Securities of such series, 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, whether
directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason
of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but
the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. Following a
covenant defeasance, payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an
Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or by reference to such other Section specified above
in this Section 1303.

SECTION 1304. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

          The following shall be the conditions precedent or, as specifically noted below, subsequent to
application of either Section 1302 or Section 1303 to the Outstanding Securities of such series:

pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations 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, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such series to
maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund
payments or analogous payments applicable to the Outstanding Securities of such
series on the due dates thereof. Before such a deposit, the Company may make
arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities
at a future date or dates in accordance with Article Eleven, which shall be given
effect in applying the foregoing. For this purpose, “U.S. Government Obligations”
means securities that are (x) direct obligations of the United States of America for
the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a
Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the
United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a
full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either
case, are not callable or redeemable at the

option of the issuer thereof, and shall
also include a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) as custodian with respect to any such U.S.
Government Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such
U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of
such depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such
custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the
holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in
respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal of or
interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

     (2) No Event of Default or event which, after giving effect to any applicable
grace period, with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing
(A) on the date of such deposit or (B) insofar as Subsections 501(6) and (7) are
concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 90th day after the date of
such deposit.

     (3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not (A) cause the Trustee for
the Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section
608 or for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of the
Company or (B) result in the trust arising from such deposit to constitute, unless
it is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act.

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

     (5) In the case of an election under Section 1302, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of 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 the
applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities
of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on
the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such defeasance had not occurred.

     (6) In the case of an election under Section 1303, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the
Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

- 73 -

 

     (7) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with
any additional terms, conditions or limitations that may be imposed on the Company
in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

     (8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for
relating to either the defeasance under Section 1302 or the covenant defeasance
under Section 1303, as the case may be, have been complied with.

          Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee — collectively, for purposes of this Section 1305, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304
in respect of the Outstanding Securities of such 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 (but not including 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, but such money need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

          The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304
or the principal and 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 Outstanding Securities.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it
as provided in Section 1304 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 an equivalent
defeasance or covenant defeasance.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if and to the extent the deposited money or
U.S. Government Obligations (or the proceeds thereof) either (i) cannot be applied by the Trustee
in accordance with this Section because of a court order or (ii) are for any reason insufficient in
amount, then the Company’s obligations to pay principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on
the Securities of such series shall be reinstated to the extent necessary to cover the deficiency
on any due date for payment. In any case specified in Clause (i), the Company’s interest in the
deposited money and U.S. Government Obligations (and proceeds thereof) shall be reinstated to the
extent the Company’s payment obligations are reinstated.

     MEDCO HEALTH SOLUTIONS, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of

assigns, the principal sum of                                          Dollars on                                                             , [If the
Security is to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert —, and to pay interest thereon from
                     or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, semi-annually on ___ and ___ in each year, commencing ___, at the rate of ___%
per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment [If applicable,
insert — and (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at
the rate of ___% per annum on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue installment of
interest]. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest, which shall be the                      or                      (whether or not a Business Day),
as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually
paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record
Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of
Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at
any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture].

this Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a default in payment of principal upon
acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal of this

 

 

Security shall bear interest at the rate of ___% per annum (to the extent that the payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue from the date of such default in
payment to the date payment of such principal has been made or duly provided for. Interest on any
overdue principal shall be payable on demand. Any such interest on any overdue principal that is
not so paid on demand shall bear interest at the rate of ___% per annum (to the extent that the
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue from the date of such
demand for payment to the date payment of such interest has been made or duly provided for, and
such interest shall also be payable on demand.]

     Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and [if applicable, insert — any
such] interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey], in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts [if
applicable, insert —; provided, however, that at the option of the Company
payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as
such address shall appear in the Security Register].

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

Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the
time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by
the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture
and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

     [As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security
shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall
have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee
reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of
such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted
by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any
premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.]

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate,
and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the

Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

denominations of $                     and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a
like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different
authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be

contrary.

assigned to them in the Indenture.
