shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where
it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the
Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such

7

 

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 in any reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance with such
reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine.

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

     Except as provided in Section 501, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, or 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 (by original or
facsimile copy) 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 (except as provided in Section 501 (4)), if in writing and mailed,
first class postage prepaid, to the Company, to the attention of the Secretary, and a
copy thereof to the attention of the Treasurer, addressed to it at the address of the
principal office of the Company specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or
at such other address as shall have been furnished in writing to the Trustee by the
Company for this purpose.

Section 106. Notices 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 on
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.

     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

required or deemed to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of TIA, such provision
so required or deemed to be included herein shall control.

     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, any Paying Agent and their successors hereunder and the Holders of
Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 112. Governing Law

     This Indenture shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

Section 113. Legal Holidays

     In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity of any Security,
or the last date on which a Holder has the right to convert a Security at a particular conversion
price, or any date on which any Defaulted Interest is proposed to be paid, shall not be a Business
Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of
interest or principal (and premium, if any) or, if applicable to a particular series of Securities,
conversion, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, at the Stated
Maturity, or on the last day for such conversion, or on the date on which the Defaulted Interest is
proposed to be paid, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity or on the last day for such conversion, or date
for the payment of Defaulted Interest, as the case may be.

Section 114. Act of Holders When Securities Are Denominated In Different
Currencies

     Whenever any action or Act is to be taken hereunder by the Holders of two or more Series of
Securities denominated in different currencies, then, for the purposes of determining the principal
amount of Securities held by such Holders, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
denominated in a currency other than United States dollars shall be deemed to be that amount of
United States dollars that could be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot
rate of exchange for such currency as determined by the Company or by an authorized exchange rate
agent and evidenced to the Trustee by an Officers’ Certificate as of the date the taking of such
action or Act by the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the Securities is
evidenced to the Trustee. An exchange rate agent may

9

 

be authorized in advance or from time to time
by the Company, and may be the Trustee or its Affiliate. Any such determination by the Company or
by any such exchange rate agent shall be conclusive and binding on all Holders and the Trustee, and
neither the Company nor such exchange rate agent shall be liable therefor in the absence of bad
faith.

Section 115. Monies of Different Currencies to Be Segregated

     The Trustee shall segregate monies, funds, and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder in one
currency from any monies, funds or accounts in any other currencies, notwithstanding any provision
herein which would otherwise permit the Trustee to commingle such amounts.

Section 116. Payment to Be In Proper Currency

     Each reference in any Security, or in the Authorizing Resolution relating thereto, to any
currency shall be of the essence. In the case of any Security denominated in any currency (the
“Required Currency") other than United States dollars, except as otherwise provided therein or in
the related Authorizing Resolution, the obligation of the Company to make any payment of principal,
premium or interest thereon shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or
recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent
that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee timely holding the full amount of the
Required Currency then due and payable. If any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than
the Required Currency, the Trustee may exchange such currency for the Required Currency. The costs
and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate
fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company, the Company shall remain fully liable for any shortfall
or delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable, and in no
circumstances shall the Trustee or any exchange rate agent be liable therefor. The Company hereby
waives any defense of payment based upon any such tender or recovery which is not in the Required
Currency, or which, when exchanged for the Required Currency by the Trustee or any exchange rate
agent, is less than the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable.

     Unless otherwise provided by Section 301 in connection with the issuance of Global Securities,
the Securities of each Series may be issued only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, or in such other currencies or
denominations as may be specified in, or pursuant to, the Authorizing Resolution relating to the
Series.

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating

     The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, its Chief Executive
Officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents and 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 Authenticating Agent,
together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. The Company
Order may provide that the Securities which are the subject thereof shall be authenticated and
delivered by the Authenticating Agent upon the telephonic, written or other order of Persons
designated in the Company Order, and that such Persons are authorized to specify the terms and
conditions of such Securities, to the extent permitted by the Authorizing Resolution relating
thereto. The Trustee shall execute and deliver the supplemental indenture (if any) relating to
said Securities and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and make available for
delivery said Securities as specified in such Company Order; provided, that, prior to
authentication and delivery of the first Securities of any Series, the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent shall have received:

     (1) A copy of the Authorizing Resolution, with a copy of the form of Security approved
thereby attached thereto;

     (2) A supplemental indenture in respect of the issuance of the Series, if called for by the
terms of the Authorizing Resolution in respect thereof, executed on behalf of the Company;

     (3) An Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Securities of such Series comply or
will comply with the requirements of this Indenture and the said Authorizing Resolution and
supplemental indenture (if any);

18

 

     (4) An Opinion of Counsel (a) to the effect that (i) the Securities of such Series, the
Authorizing Resolution and the supplemental indenture (if any) relating thereto comply or will
comply with the requirements of this Indenture, (ii) the Indenture and the Securities of such
Series, when authenticated and delivered by the Authenticating Agent in accordance with the said
Company Order, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject to (A) bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’
rights generally as in effect from time to time, (B) limitations of generally applicable
equitable principles and (C) other exceptions as are necessary; and (b) relating to such other
matters as may reasonably be requested by the Trustee or its counsel; and

     (5) If the Securities to be issued are Original Issue Discount Securities, an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the Yield to Maturity for the Securities or other information
sufficient to compute amounts due on acceleration, or specifying the manner in which such
amounts are to be determined, provided that such Yield to Maturity and other facts are not
specified in the form of the Securities.

     If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities of a Series are to
be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall
execute and the Authenticating Agent shall, in accordance with this Section and the Company Order
with respect to such Series, authenticate and make available for delivery one or more Global
Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an
aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
Series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of
the Depositary for such Global Security of Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii)
shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or be held by the Trustee as Custodian for the
Depositary and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially in the form provided in Section 204.

     Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 301 for a Global Security in registered form
must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing
agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other applicable statute or
regulation.

     Subject to Section 601 hereof, the Authenticating Agent and the Trustee shall be fully
protected in relying upon the documents delivered to it as provided above in connection with the
issuance of any Series of Securities.

     The Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall have the right to decline to authenticate and
deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee or Authenticating Agent, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee or Authenticating
Agent in good faith by a committee of its Responsible Officers shall determine that such action
would expose the Trustee or Authenticating Agent to liability to Holders of previously issued and
Outstanding Securities.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise specified in the
Authorizing Resolution relating thereto.

     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 or Authenticating Agent by
the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder.

Section 304. Temporary Securities

     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any Series, the Company may execute, and
upon compliance with the requirements of Section 303 the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate
and make available for delivery temporary Securities, which may be printed, lithographed,
typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of
the definitive Securities in lieu

19

 

of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the
officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

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

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange

     The Company shall cause to be kept a register at one of its offices or agencies maintained
pursuant to Section 1002 (herein referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of Securities and the registration of transfers of Securities. At all reasonable times the
Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The Security Register shall be kept
at the said office or agency, and said office or agency is hereby initially appointed “Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein
provided. If the Security Registrar shall not be the Authenticating Agent in respect of any
Series, the Company shall promptly notify the Security Registrar
as to the amounts and terms of each Security of such Series which shall be authenticated and
delivered hereunder, and as to the names in which such Securities shall be registered.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the
Company provided for that purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent 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 and Stated Maturity of a like aggregate
principal amount.

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

     At the option of the Holder, Securities of any Series (other than a Global Security, except as
set forth below) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same Series of any authorized
denominations, of a like 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 Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and make
available for delivery, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     If at any time the Depositary for any Securities of a Series notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such Series or if at any time
the Depositary for the Securities of such Series shall no longer be eligible under Section 303, the
Company shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under Section 303, with respect to the
Securities of such Series. If a successor Depositary eligible under Section 303 for the Securities
of such Series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such
notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 301(10)
that the Securities of such Series be represented by one or more Global Securities shall no longer
be effective with respect to the Securities of such Series and

20

 

the Company shall execute and the
Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Securities of such Series, shall authenticate and make available for delivery,
Securities of such Series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such Series in exchange for such
Global Security or Securities.

     The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any
Series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such
Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company shall execute, and the Authenticating
Agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities
of such Series, shall authenticate and make available for delivery Securities of such Series in
definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Security or Securities representing such Series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

     If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a Series of Securities
represented by a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Securities may surrender a Global
Security for such Series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such
Series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.
Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate
and make available for delivery without service charge:

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

     (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the
difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and
the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered pursuant to clause (i) above.

     In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will
execute and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent will authenticate and make available for delivery
Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations.

     Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive registered form, such
Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. The
Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names
such Securities are so registered.

     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 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 1108 not involving any transfer.

     The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Security of any Series during a period beginning at the opening of the day which is 15 Business
Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such Series selected
for redemption under

21

 

Section 1104 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing,
or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be
redeemed.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities

     If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii)
there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee
that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon
its request the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery
in exchange for, or in lieu of, any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new
Security of like tenor, Series and principal amount, bearing a number not assigned to any Security
of the same Series then 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
the indebtedness represented by 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 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 the same Series duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section are exclusive and (to the extent lawful) shall preclude 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

     Interest which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date, on the Securities of any Series, shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Securities (or one or more Predecessor Securities) are 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, as such, on the Regular Record Date for such payment;
and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided
in Clause (1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons
in whose names the Securities (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 of such Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid 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

22

 

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 mailed as aforesaid, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the said Securities (or
their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered 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 in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Securities of such Series 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 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.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 1402, in the case of any Security (or any part thereof)
which is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date (other than any Security the principal of (or premium, if any, on) which shall become
due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration prior to such
Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be
payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion and such interest (whether or
not punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security
(or any one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular
Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence or in
Section 1402, in the case of any Security (or any part thereof) which is converted, interest whose
Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of such Security (or such part thereof) shall not
be payable.

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security
is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of
(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.

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

Section 309. Cancellation

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All
Securities so delivered and any Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose
shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee and all Securities of any Series delivered to the
Trustee for credit against any Sinking Fund payment in respect of such Series pursuant to Section
1202 shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee.

23

 

The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the
Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange
for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in its
customary manner.

Section 310. CUSIP Numbers

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

ARTICLE FOUR

may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest
for payment of which such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

of any such action.

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

     If any one or more of the Events of Default described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) of
Section 501 with respect to Securities of any Series shall happen, then, and in each and every such
case, during the continuance of any such Event of Default, either the Trustee, by notice in writing
to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of such Securities then
Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and to the Trustee, may declare the principal
amount (or, if such Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may then be payable on acceleration as provided in the terms thereof) of all
such Securities then Outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be immediately due and payable,
and upon any such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in
this Indenture or in the Securities contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If any one or more
of the Events of Default described in clauses (6) or (7) of Section 501 shall happen, then, and in
each and every such case, the principal amount (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may then be payable on acceleration as provided
in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then Outstanding (if not then due and payable), shall
immediately and automatically become due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities contained to the
contrary notwithstanding.

     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made with respect to any
Securities 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
such Securities Outstanding (voting as a single class) 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

26

 

     (A) all overdue installments of interest on all such Securities,

     (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) such Securities which have become
due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon from the
respective due dates thereof at the respective rates borne by such Securities or, in the
case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at rates equal to the respective Yields to
Maturity thereof, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,

     (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue
installments of interest from the respective due dates thereof at the respective rates
borne by such Securities or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at rates
equal to the respective Yields to Maturity thereof, 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 such Securities, other than the non-payment of
the principal of such Securities which have become due solely by such 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.

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 installment of interest on any Security when such
interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for the period of grace, if any,
provided for with respect to such payment, or

     (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
Security at its Maturity and such default continues for the period of grace, if any, provided
for with respect to such payment,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of all such
Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest, with interest, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, upon the
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and installments of interest from the due date thereof at
the rate borne by such Securities or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at a rate
equal to the Yield to Maturity thereof, 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 forthwith 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, and 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 any Series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders of such Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem
necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or
to enforce any other proper remedy.

27

 

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other 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 its or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the
Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of
overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise,

     (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount (or, in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount thereof as shall then be provable
in bankruptcy
as specified therein) of principal (and premium, if any) and interest 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;

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

     (iii) to take any and all other actions authorized under the TIA in order to have claims of
the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding;

and any receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, 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 to 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. To the extent that the payment of any such
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding,
shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be
paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the
Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

     Nothing herein contained 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. 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.

28

 

Section 506. Application of Money Collected

     Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article with respect to the Securities of
any Series, or after an Event of Default any moneys or properties distributable in respect of the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture, 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 Securities of such Series 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 or reasonably anticipated to become due to the
Trustee and its agents and counsel under Section 607;

     SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities in respect of which moneys have been
collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of interest on the
Securities of such Series in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such
interest, with interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful and such interest
has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the same rate as
the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities)
applicable to such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto,
without discrimination or preference;

     THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities in respect of which moneys have been
collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole
amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such Series for principal and interest,
with (to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful and such interest has been collected
by the Trustee) interest upon the overdue principal, and upon overdue installments of interest
at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities) applicable to the Securities of such Series; and in case such moneys shall
be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such
Series, then to the payment of such principal and interest, without preference or priority of
principal over interest, or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over
any other installment of interest, or of any Security of such Series over any other Security of
such Series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest.

     FOURTH: To the Company

Section 507. Limitation On Suits

     No Holder of any Securities 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) the Trustee shall have received written notice from such Holder of a continuing Event
of Default in respect of such Securities;

     (2) the Trustee shall have received a written request from the Holders of not less than 25%
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the Series in respect of which the Event of
Default has occurred 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 indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

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

29

 

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of any Series 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 Holders of Securities of that Series, or to
obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of Securities of that
Series or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for
the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Securities of such Series.

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

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any
premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), to convert such
Securities in accordance with Article Fourteen to the extent that such right to convert is
applicable to such Security 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 the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, 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

     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 Security to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 512. Control By Holders

     The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any Series
(voting as a single class) 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 in respect of the Securities of any Series, provided that

     (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or
unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Securities of all Series not joining in such
direction (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain
whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or, in the opinion of
the Trustee, involve the Trustee in personal liability, and

30

 

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

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 such Securities waive any past default or Event of
Default on such Series and its consequences, except a default or Event of Default

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

     (2) to the extent such right is applicable to such Security, a failure by the Company on
request to convert any Security into Common Stock; or

     (3) 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 affected.

     Upon any such waiver, such default or Event of 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 Event of 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 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in
such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such
party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more
than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all Series (or, if the matter in
issue does not relate to all Series of Securities, then the Holders of 10% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of all Series to which such issue relates) (treated as a single class),
or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Securities for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any such Security on or after the respective
Stated Maturities expressed therein (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption

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 provisions hereof are specifically
required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same
to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not
confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated
therein).

     (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise, as a prudent 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

     (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 made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining
the pertinent facts;

     (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any Series (voting as a single class) relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and

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

32

 

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

Section 602. Notice of Defaults

     Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder in respect of any Series of
Securities, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of the Securities of such Series, as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known
to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that,
except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on any Security or in the payment of any Sinking Fund installment, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a
trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine
that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders; and provided, further, that
in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) no such notice to Holders
shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would become, an Event of Default.

Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 601:

     (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,

(whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties;

     (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may
be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the
absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

     (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or

incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

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

33

 

     (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties

by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

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

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

     (k) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of
profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action; and

     (l) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly,
forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents,
acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or
acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer
(software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable
efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume
performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Section 604. Not Responsible For Recitals or Issuance of Securities

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Section 605. May Hold Securities

     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and, subject to Section 608, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such
other agent.

Section 606. Money Held In Trust

     Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money
received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

34

 

Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement

     The Company agrees

     (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing
from time to time by the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by it hereunder
(which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation
of a trustee of an express trust);

     (2) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel),
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad
faith; and

     (3) to fully indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it
harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including taxes (other
than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its
part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust,
including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel and the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its rights, powers or duties hereunder.

Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by
the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular
Securities.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(6) or Section 501(7), the expenses (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for the services
are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

     The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests

     The Trustee shall comply with the terms of Section 310(b) of the TIA. There shall be excluded
from the terms of Section 310(b) of the TIA this Indenture and all series of debt securities
issuable hereunder or any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of
interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements
for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(i) are met.

Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus
of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company
shall serve as Trustee hereunder. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

35

 

Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor

     (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee under Section 611.

     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of any Series by giving
written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition at the expense of the Company any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such Series.

     (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any Series by Act
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such Series,
delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If within 30 days of such removal no successor
trustee has been appointed as successor trustee and accepted such appointment, the Trustee may
petition at the expense of the Company a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor trustee.

     (d) If at any time:

     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the
Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months,
or

     (2) the Trustee for a Series of Securities shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder of such
Securities, or

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect
to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all
Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee. If within 30 days of such removal or
inability to act, no successor trustee has been appointed as successor trustee and accepted such
appointment, the Trustee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor trustee.

     (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more
Series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the
Securities of that or those Series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be
appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such Series and that 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 in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such Series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series and 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
hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such Series for
at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,

36

 

petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such Series.

     (f) The Company or successor Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series and each appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series by mailing written notice of such event by
first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities of such Series as their names and
addresses appear in the 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) Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to all Securities 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 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, subject nevertheless to its
lien, if any, provided for in Section 607.

     (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, upon payment of its
charges, 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 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, subject nevertheless to its
lien, if any, provided for in Section 607.

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

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

37

 

Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business

     Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of 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
or any Authenticating Agent, 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. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company

     Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of
the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under
this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall
be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee
in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such
application (which date shall not be less than ten Business Days after the date any officer of the
Company actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing
to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of
an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application
specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Section 614. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

          The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
§ 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the
extent indicated therein.

form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of the
Securities of each Series as of the preceding March 1 or September 1, respectively, and

     (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the

     (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names
and addresses of Holders of Securities of each Series contained in the most recent list furnished

Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar (if so acting). The Trustee
may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 701 upon receipt of a new list so
furnished.

     (b) If three or more Holders of Securities of any Series (hereinafter referred to as
“applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish the Trustee reasonable proof that each
such applicant has owned a Security of such Series for a period of at least six months preceding
the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate
with other Holders of Securities of such Series with respect to their rights under this Indenture
or under the Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication
which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after
the receipt of such application, at its election, either

     (i) afford such applicants access to the information in respect of such Series preserved at
the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 702(a), or

     If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the
Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of Securities of
such Series whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee
in accordance with Section 702(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is
specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material

the Commission, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the
effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of
said Holders or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the
basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections
specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such
objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the
Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so
sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of
such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the
renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such
applicants respecting their application.

     (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and
the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with
Section 702(b), regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that neither
the Trustee nor the Company shall be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to
a request made under Section 702(b).

time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or,
if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of
said Sections, then it will file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules
and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and
periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in respect of a security listed and registered on a national

COVENANTS

Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest

     The Company will duly and punctually pay (or cause to be paid) the principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest on the Securities of each Series in accordance with the terms of such
Securities and this

43

 

Indenture. Principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes will be
considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company, holds as of 10:00
a.m. Eastern Time on the due date money deposited by the Company in immediately available funds and
designated for and sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due on the
Securities.

Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency

     Except as otherwise provided in the Authorizing Resolution in respect of any Series, the
Company will maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented or surrendered for
payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for conversion and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company
initially appoints the Trustee as such agent at its Corporate Trust Office for said purposes. The
Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of such office
or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain such office or agency or shall fail
to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby
appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

Section 1003. Money For Security Payments to Be Held In Trust; Appointment of
Paying Agent

     If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due
date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities, 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, it will, on or before each due date
of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities, 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 (and premium, if
any) 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 initially appoints the Trustee as
Paying Agent.

     The Company will cause each Paying Agent 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 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) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest; 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 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

44

 

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 and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and
payable shall, subject to compliance with applicable abandoned property law, be paid to the Company
on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once or mailed to each such
holder or both, 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 or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 1004. Statement As to Default

     The Company will deliver to the Trustee, on or before a date not more than four months after
the end of each fiscal year (which on the date hereof ends on the last day of April) of the Company
ending after the date hereof, a certificate (which shall not be deemed an Officers’ Certificate and
need not conform with any of the provisions of Section 102) signed by the principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company, stating that
in the course of the performance by the signer of such signer’s duties as an officer of the Company
and based upon a review made under such signer’s supervision of the activities of the Company
during such year and of the Company’s performance under this Indenture such signer would normally
obtain knowledge whether or not the Company is in default in the performance of any covenant or
agreement set forth in the Indenture, stating whether or not such signer has obtained knowledge
that the Company is in default in the performance of any such covenant or agreement, and if so,
specifying each such default of which the signer has knowledge and the nature thereof. The Company
will notify the Trustee promptly in writing of any change of its fiscal year.

Section 1005. 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 Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities.

Section 1006. Limitation Upon Liens

     (a) The Company will not create, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist, and will not cause,
suffer or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to create, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist, any
indebtedness for borrowed money secured by pledge of, or mortgage or lien on, any of its Principal
Plants, or on any capital stock of any Restricted Subsidiary (whether such capital stock is now
owned or hereafter acquired) without effectively providing that the Securities (together with, if
the Company shall so determine, any other indebtedness of the Company then existing or thereafter
created ranking equally with the Securities and any other indebtedness of the Restricted Subsidiary
then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured by the security of such secured indebtedness
equally and ratably therewith, other than

45

 

     (i) purchase money pledges of, or purchase money mortgages or liens on, property acquired
(including through merger or consolidation) after the date of execution of this Indenture,
so long as such pledges, mortgages and liens are created not later than 180 days following
acquisition or completion of construction of a Principal Plant to secure payment of the
purchase price or construction cost thereof, or to secure debt incurred for such purpose,
and so long as such pledges, mortgages and liens shall attach only to the assets so acquired
and improvements,

     (iv) pledges, mortgages or liens to secure all or any part of the cost of development or
construction of any property or assets or improvements thereon and which shall be released
or satisfied within 180 days after completion of such development or construction; provided,
however, that such pledges, mortgages or liens shall extend solely to the property altered,
repaired or improved,

     (v) pledges, mortgages or liens required in connection with the acquisition, construction or
development of additions or extensions to Principal Plants which shall be financed by
obligations described in Sections 141–145 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
or by obligations entitled to substantially similar tax benefits under other legislation or

entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary,

     (ix) pledges, mortgage or liens on property of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in
favor of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any department, agency,
instrumentality or political subdivision thereof, to secure any payments, including advance
or progress payments, pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any 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 pledges, mortgages or liens
(including, but not limited to, pledges, mortgages or liens incurred in connection with
pollution control bonds, industrial revenue bonds or similar financings),

     (x) extensions, renewals or replacements of pledges, mortgages or liens referred to in
clauses (i) to (ix), inclusive, above, provided that the amount of indebtedness secured by
such extension, renewal or replacement shall not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness
being extended, renewed or replaced, nor shall the pledge, mortgage or lien be extended to
any additional Principal Plant,

46

 

     (xii) as permitted by Subsection (d) of this Section 1006.

     (b) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time enter into a merger or
consolidation with another corporation or purchase all or substantially all of the assets of
another corporation, or if the Company shall sell all or substantially all of its assets to another
corporation and if such other corporation has outstanding indebtedness secured by a mortgage or
other lien which, by reason of an after-acquired property clause or similar provision therein
contained, would extend, after such merger, consolidation, sale or purchase, to any Principal Plant
owned by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary immediately prior to such merger, consolidation,
sale or purchase, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall in such
event be deemed to have created a mortgage or lien, within the prohibition of Subsection (a) of
this Section 1006, unless (i) such merger or consolidation involving a Restricted Subsidiary shall
constitute a disposition by the Company of its interest in the Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii)
either (A) at or prior to the effective date of such merger, consolidation, sale or purchase, such
mortgage or lien shall have been released of record or otherwise satisfied to the extent it would
extend to such Principal Plant or (B) prior to such merger, consolidation, sale or purchase, the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have created, as security for the
Securities (and, if the Company shall so determine, as security for any other indebtedness of the
Company then existing or thereafter created ranking equally with the Securities and any other
indebtedness of the Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created), a valid lien which,
upon completion of said merger, consolidation, sale or purchase, will rank prior to the lien of
such mortgage or other lien of such other corporation on such Principal Plant.

     (c) If pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1006 the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary shall at any time be obligated to secure the Securities (together with, if the Company

connection with such sale) are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by
Board Resolution) of such property and

     (ii) subject to Subsection (d) of this Section 1007, the Company shall, within 180 days

of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all Series which are entitled to the benefits thereof
(voting as a single class) shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such
instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall
extend to or affect such covenant 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 covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 1010. Calculation of Original Issue Discount and Other Amounts Payable.

     The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year during which
any Original Issue Discount Securities shall be Outstanding and Original Issue Discount reporting
is required (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily
rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii)
such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant
under the Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. The Company will be responsible for
making calculations called for under the Securities, including but not limited to determination of
redemption price, premium, if any, and any additional amounts or other amounts payable on the
Securities. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its
calculations will be final and binding on the

49

 

Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of its
calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely
conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 1101. Right of Redemption

     Redeemable Securities may be redeemed otherwise than through the operation of the Sinking Fund
provided for in Article Twelve at the election of the Company at the times, on the conditions and
at the Redemption Prices specified therein, in (or pursuant to) the Authorizing Resolution relating
thereto and in the supplemental indenture (if any) executed in connection with the issuance of such
Securities, any Redemption Price to be accompanied by accrued interest to the Redemption Date.

Section 1102. Applicability of Article

     Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or otherwise, as permitted or required
by any provision referred to in Section 1101, shall be made in accordance with such provision and
this Article.

Section 1103. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution
or set forth in an Officers’ Certificate which states that such election has been duly authorized
by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company. In case of any redemption at the
election of the Company the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by
the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of
such Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, and of the principal amount of Securities of the Series
or the several 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 Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction. If the Redemption Price is not known at the time such notice is
to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described in the terms of the Securities,
will be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than
two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date.

Section 1104. Selection By Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed

     If less than all the Securities of any Series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities of
such Series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 90 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee (subject to applicable procedures of the Depositary in the case of Global Notes), from
the Outstanding Securities of such Series not previously called for redemption, by such method as
the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption
of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination of the Series or any integral multiple
thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger than such minimum
denomination. If the Company shall so specify, Securities held by the Company or any Subsidiary
shall not be included in the Securities selected for redemption.

     If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the
conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of
such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption.
Securities that have

50

 

been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may be treated
by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

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

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

Section 1105. Notice of Redemption

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

     All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date,

     (2) the Redemption Price (or manner of calculation if not then known),

     (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of the Series are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount), including Cusip
number, of the particular Securities to be redeemed,

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

     (5) if applicable, the conversion price, the date on which the right to convert the
principal of the Securities or the portions thereof to be redeemed will terminate, and the place
or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,

     (6) that the redemption is for a Sinking Fund, if such is the case,

     (7) the name and address of the Paying Agent or such other place or places where such
Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and

     (8) applicable CUSIP Numbers.

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

Section 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price

     On or 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) any accrued interest on, all the
Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

     If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or
with a Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall
(subject to the right of any Holder of such Security to receive interest as provided in the last
paragraph of Section 307) be paid to the Company on Company Request, or if then held by the
Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

51

 

Section 1107. 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 thereof 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 on the relevant Regular or Special Record Date 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 or duly provided for, bear
interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security or, in the case of Original
Issue Discount Securities, at a rate equal to the Yield to Maturity thereof.

Section 1108. Securities Redeemed In Part

     Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency
of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (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 Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the
same Series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so
surrendered; except that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the
Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, upon Company Order, and deliver to the Depositary for such
Global Security without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in
exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Global Security so surrendered.

ARTICLE TWELVE

SINKING FUND

Section 1201. Sinking Fund Payments

     As and for a Sinking Fund for the retirement of Sinking Fund Securities, the Company will,
until all such Securities are paid or payment thereof is duly provided for, deposit in accordance
with Section 1106, at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be specified in
the provisions of such Securities and the Authorizing Resolution and supplemental indenture (if
any) relating thereto, such amounts in cash as shall be required or permitted under such provisions
in order to redeem Securities on the specified Redemption Dates at a Redemption Price equal to
their principal amounts, less in each such case the amount of any credit against such payment
received by the Company under Section 1202. Each such Sinking Fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities on the specified Redemption Date as herein provided.

Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities

     The Company (1) may deliver Securities of the same Series (other than any previously called
for redemption or theretofore applied as a credit against a Sinking Fund payment or as a credit
under Section 1007(d)) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of the same Series redeemed at the
election of the Company pursuant to Section 1101 or through the operation of the Sinking Fund in
any period in excess of the minimum amount required for such period under Section 1201 or the
provisions relating to such

52

 

Series referred to in Section 1201 and not theretofore applied as a
credit against a Sinking Fund payment or as a credit under Section 1007(d), in each case in
satisfaction of all or any part of any Sinking Fund payment required to be made pursuant to Section
1201. Each such Security so delivered or applied shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee
at a Redemption Price equal to its principal amount and the required amount of such Sinking Fund
payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 1203. Redemption of Securities For Sinking Fund

     If in any year the Company shall elect to redeem in excess of the minimum principal amount of
Securities required to be redeemed pursuant to Section 1201 or to satisfy all or any part of any
Sinking Fund payment by delivering or crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202, then at least
60 days prior to the date on which the Sinking Fund payment in question shall be due (or such
shorter period as shall be approved by the Trustee), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the Sinking Fund payment and the portions thereof
which are to be satisfied by payment of cash, by delivery of Securities or by crediting Securities,
and, at least 45 days prior to the Sinking Fund payment date (or such shorter period as shall be
approved by the Trustee), will also deliver to the Trustee the Securities to be so delivered. Such
Officers’ Certificate shall also state that the Securities forming the basis of any such credit do
not include any Securities which have been redeemed through the operation of the Sinking Fund in
the minimum amount required under Section 1201, previously credited against any Sinking Fund
payment or credited in accordance with Section 1007(d). The Trustee shall, upon the receipt of
such Officers’ Certificate (or, if it shall not have received such an Officers’ Certificate at
least 60 days prior to the Sinking Fund payment date, then following such 60th day), select the
Securities to be redeemed upon the next Sinking Fund payment date, in the manner specified in
Section 1104, and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the
expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1105. Such notice having been duly given,
the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
1107 and 1108.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 1301. Defeasance

     Upon the Company’s election to have this Section 1301 apply to one or more Series of
Securities, and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified in Section 1303, the
Company shall be discharged from all of its obligations under such Securities and under this
Indenture with respect to such Securities, except for its obligations under Sections 304, 305, 306,
607, 1002 and 1003 and this Article Thirteen (referred to below as a “defeasance”).

Section 1302. Covenant Defeasance

     Upon the Company’s election to have this Section 1302 apply to one or more Series of
Securities, and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified in Section 1303, the
occurrence of an event specified in Section 501(3) or (4) or (5) shall not be deemed to be an Event
of Default in respect of such Securities (referred to below as a “covenant defeasance”).

Section 1303. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance

     The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1301 or Section 1302 to
the Securities of any Series:

     (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
(which term, for purposes of this Article, shall also refer to another trustee satisfying the
requirements of Section 609 who shall agree to comply with the applicable provisions of this
Article) in trust for the Holders of such Securities (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S.
Government Obligations (as

53

 

defined below) 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 investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, to pay and discharge the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such
Securities on the Stated Maturity thereof in accordance with this Indenture and such Securities.
“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 full and timely 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 of such U.S. Government Obligation or of 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 such holder from any amount received by the custodian in respect of such U.S. Government
Obligation.

     (2) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a
result of such deposit, defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income
tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such deposit, defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred.

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

     (4) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an
Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit or, insofar as any event described in Section 501(6) or (7), at any time
prior to the 91st day after such deposit.

     (5) Such deposit, defeasance or discharge shall not result in a 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.

     (6) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such
deposit constituting an investment company as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, or such trust shall be qualified under such Act or exempt from regulation thereunder.

     (7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth such election under Section 1301 or 1302, as applicable, and stating that all conditions
precedent provided for relating to such defeasance, discharge or deposit have been complied
with, and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating
to such defeasance, discharge or deposit have been complied with.

Section 1304. Application of Funds

     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 pursuant to Section 1303 in
respect of one or more Series of Securities 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 (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 any

54

 

premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

     The Company shall pay (in addition to any U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 1303), and indemnify the Trustee against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1303 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 the Outstanding Securities.

     Anything in this Article Thirteen 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 1303 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
investment bank, appraisal firm or 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.

Section 1305. Reinstatement

     If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section
1304 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit
had occurred pursuant to this Article Thirteen until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 1304; provided, however, that if the
Company makes any payment of principal of and any premium or interest on any Security following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
the Securities of such Series to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the
Paying Agent.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 1401. Applicability of Article

     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are
convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company, and the issuance of such shares of Common
Stock upon the conversion of such Securities, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for the Securities of such series.

Section 1402. Exercise of Conversion Privilege

     In order to exercise a conversion privilege, the Holder of a Security of a series with such a
privilege shall surrender such Security to the Company at the office or agency maintained for that
purpose pursuant to Section 1002, accompanied by a duly executed conversion notice to the Company
substantially in the form set forth in Section 206 (or other form specified pursuant to the related
supplemental indenture or Authorizing Resolution) stating that the Holder elects to convert such
Security or a specified portion thereof. Such notice shall also state, if different from the name
and address of such Holder, the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued.
Securities surrendered for conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed by or accompanied by instruments of transfer in forms satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee duly executed by the registered Holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and
Securities so surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of
business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date (excluding Securities or portions thereof called for redemption during the period
beginning at the close of business on a Regular Record Date and ending at the opening of business
on the

55

 

first Business Day after the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or if such Interest
Payment Date is not a Business Day, the second such Business Day) shall also be accompanied by
payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such
Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Security then being converted, and such
interest shall be payable to such registered Holder notwithstanding the conversion of such
Security, subject to the provisions of Section 307 relating to the payment of Defaulted Interest by
the Company. As promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice and of any payment
required pursuant to a Authorizing Resolution and, subject to Section 303, set forth, or determined
in the manner established in such Authorizing Resolution one or more indentures supplemental hereto
setting forth the terms of such series of Security, and the surrender of such Security in
accordance with such reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, the Company shall issue
and shall deliver, at the office or agency at which such Security is surrendered, to such Holder or
on its written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of such Security (or specified portion thereof), in accordance with
the provisions of such Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture, and cash as provided
therein in respect of any fractional share of such Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such
conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of
business on the date on which such notice and such payment, if required, shall have been received
in proper order for conversion by the Company and such Security shall have been surrendered as
aforesaid (unless such Holder shall have so surrendered such Security and shall have instructed the
Company to effect the conversion on a particular date following such surrender and such Holder
shall be entitled to convert such Security on such date, in which case such conversion shall be
deemed to be effected immediately prior to the close of business on such date) and at such time the
rights of the Holder of such Security as such Security Holder shall cease and the person or persons
in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Company
shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of
record of the shares represented thereby. Except as set forth above and subject to the final
paragraph of Section 307, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of
any interest accrued on the Securities (or any part thereof) surrendered for conversion or on
account of any dividends on the Common Stock of the Company issued upon such conversion. In the
case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at
the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of authorized
denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of such Security.

Section 1403. No Fractional Shares

     No fractional share of Common Stock of the Company shall be issued upon conversions of
Securities of any series. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time
by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions
thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If, except for the provisions of this
Section, any Holder of a Security or Securities would be entitled to a fractional share of Common
Stock of the Company upon the conversion of such Security or Securities, or specified portions
thereof, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash equal to the current market value
of such fractional share computed, (i) if such Common Stock is listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges on a national securities exchange or market, on the basis of the last reported
sale price on such exchange or market on the last trading day prior to the date of conversion upon
which such a sale shall have been effected, or (ii) if such Common Stock is not at the time so
listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange or market, on
the basis of the average of the bid and asked prices of such Common Stock in the over-the-counter
market, on the last trading day prior to the date of conversion, as reported by the National
Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or similar organization if the National Quotation Bureau,
Incorporated is no longer reporting such information, or if not so available, the fair market price
as determined by the Board of Directors. For

56

 

purposes of this Section, “trading day” shall mean
each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday other than any day on which the Common Stock
is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the New York
Stock Exchange, on the principal exchange or market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted.

Section 1404. Adjustment of Conversion Price

     The conversion price of Securities of any series that is convertible into Common Stock of the
Company shall be adjusted for any stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, combinations or
similar transactions in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or Authorizing
Resolution setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series. Whenever the conversion price
is adjusted, the Company shall compute the adjusted conversion price in accordance with terms of
the applicable Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture and shall prepare an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the adjusted conversion price and showing in reasonable detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at each office
or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 1002 and, if
different, with the Trustee. The Company shall forthwith cause a notice setting forth the adjusted
conversion price to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such
series at its address appearing on the Security Register and to any conversion agent other than the
Trustee.

Section 1405. Notice of Certain Corporate Actions

     In case:

     (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock
payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings (other than a dividend for which
approval of any shareholders of the Company is required) that would require an adjustment pursuant
to Section 1404; or

     (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to all or substantially all of the holders of
its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any other rights (other than any such grant for which approval of any
shareholders of the Company is required); or

     (3) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or
combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or of any consolidation, merger or share
exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company
is required), or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

     (4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee, and shall cause to be mailed to all
Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register, at least 20 days (or
10 days in any case specified in Clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of Record to be entitled to such dividend,
distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common
Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or
other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up. If at any time the Trustee shall not be the conversion
agent, a copy of such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee.

57

 

Section 1406. Reservation of Shares of Common Stock

     The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of
its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issuable upon the
conversion of all outstanding Securities of any series that has conversion rights.

Section 1407. Payment of Certain Taxes Upon Conversion

     Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes that may be
payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of its Common Stock on conversion of
Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of its Common Stock
in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such
issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the
Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that
such tax has been paid.

Section 1408. Nonassessability

     The Company covenants that all shares of its Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion
of Securities will upon issue in accordance with the terms hereof be duly and validly issued and
fully paid and nonassessable.

Section 1409. Provision in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets

     In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, any
merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any
reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company) or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which
acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture providing that the Holder of each Security of a series then Outstanding that is
convertible into Common Stock of the Company shall have the right thereafter (which right shall be
the exclusive conversion right thereafter available to said Holder), during the period such
Security shall be convertible, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale,
transfer or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which
such Security might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, sale, transfer or lease, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not
a Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or which merged into or with
the Company or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a
“Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his
rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease (provided that if
the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, sale, transfer, or lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the
Company held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease
by others than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of
election shall not have been exercised (“Non-electing Share”), then for the purpose of this Section
the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the holders of each Non-electing Share shall be
deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-electing
Shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to
the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article or in accordance with the terms of the
supplemental indenture or Board Resolutions setting forth the terms of such adjustments. The above

58

 

provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers,
conveyances, sales, transfers or leases. Notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture
shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each Security of a series that is convertible into
Common Stock of the Company as provided in Section 106 promptly upon such execution. Neither the
Trustee nor any conversion agent, if any, shall be under any responsibility to determine the
correctness of any provisions contained in any such supplemental indenture relating either to the
kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property or cash receivable by Holders of
Securities of a series convertible into Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of their
Securities after any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any such
adjustment, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and
shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company
shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 903.

Section 1410. Duties of Trustee Regarding Conversion

     Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any Holder of Securities of any series that is convertible into Common Stock of
the Company to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the conversion
price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to
the method employed, whether herein or in any supplemental indenture, any resolutions of the Board
of Directors or written instrument executed by one or more officers of the Company provided to be
employed in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be accountable with
respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock of the
Company, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the
conversion of any Securities and neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent makes any
representation with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 601, neither the Trustee
nor any conversion agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or
deliver any shares of its Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property upon
the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the covenants
of the Company contained in this Article Fourteen or in the applicable supplemental indenture,
resolutions of the Board of Directors or written instrument executed by one or more duly authorized
officers of the Company.

Section 1411. Repayment of Certain Funds Upon Conversion

     Any funds which at any time shall have been deposited by the Company or on its behalf with the
Trustee or any other paying agent for the purpose of paying the principal of and any premium and
interest on any of the Securities (including, but not limited to, funds deposited for the sinking
fund referred to in Article Twelve hereof and funds deposited pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof)
and which shall not be required for such purposes because of the conversion of such Securities as
provided in this Article Fourteen shall after such conversion be repaid to the Company by the
Trustee upon the Company’s written request.

ARTICLE FIFTEEN

IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Section 1501. Indenture and Securities Solely Corporate Obligations

     No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security, or
for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental
indenture, or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby,
shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or
any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or

59

 

     otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such
liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for,
the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Securities.

unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

or the last date on which a Holder has the right to convert a Security at a particular conversion
price, or any date on which any Defaulted Interest is proposed to be paid, shall not be a Business
Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of
interest or principal (and premium, if any) or, if applicable to a particular series of Securities,
conversion, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, at the Stated
Maturity, or on the last day for such conversion, or on the date on which the Defaulted Interest is
proposed to be paid, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity or on the last day for such conversion, or date

Section 114. Act of Holders When Securities Are Denominated In Different

Currencies

     Whenever any action or Act is to be taken hereunder by the Holders of two or more Series of
Securities denominated in different currencies, then, for the purposes of determining the principal
amount of Securities held by such Holders, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
denominated in a currency other than United States dollars shall be deemed to be that amount of
United States dollars that could be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot
rate of exchange for such currency as determined by the Company or by an authorized exchange rate
agent and evidenced to the Trustee by an Officers’ Certificate as of the date the taking of such
action or Act by the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the Securities is
evidenced to the Trustee. An exchange rate agent may be authorized in advance or from time to time
by the Company, and may be the Trustee or its Affiliate. Any such determination by the Company or
by any such exchange rate agent shall be conclusive and binding on all Holders and the Trustee, and
neither the Company nor such exchange rate agent shall be liable therefor in the absence of bad
faith.

Section 115. Monies of Different Currencies to Be Segregated

     The Trustee shall segregate monies, funds, and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder in one
currency from any monies, funds or accounts in any other currencies, notwithstanding any provision
herein which would otherwise permit the Trustee to commingle such amounts.

Section 116. Payment to Be In Proper Currency

     Each reference in any Security, or in the Authorizing Resolution relating thereto, to any
currency shall be of the essence. In the case of any Security denominated in any currency (the
“Required

9

 

Currency”) other than United States dollars, except as otherwise provided therein or in
the related Authorizing Resolution, the obligation of the Company to make any payment of principal,
premium or interest thereon shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by the Company, or
recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent
that such tender or recovery shall result in the Trustee timely holding the full amount of the
Required Currency then due and payable. If any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than
the Required Currency, the Trustee may exchange such currency for the Required Currency. The costs
and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of delay and exchange rate
fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company, the Company shall remain fully liable for any shortfall
or delinquency in the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable, and in no
circumstances shall the Trustee or any exchange rate agent be liable therefor. The Company hereby
waives any defense of payment based upon any such tender or recovery which is not in the Required
Currency, or which, when exchanged for the Required Currency by the Trustee or any exchange rate
agent, is less than the full amount of Required Currency then due and payable.

Company may deliver Securities of any Series executed by the Company to the Authenticating Agent,
together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. The Company
Order may provide that the Securities which are the subject thereof shall be authenticated and

comply with the requirements of this Indenture, (ii) the Indenture and the Securities of such
Series, when authenticated and delivered by the Authenticating Agent in accordance with the said
Company Order, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject to (A) bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’
rights generally as in effect from time to time, (B) limitations of generally applicable
equitable principles and (C) other exceptions as are necessary; and (b) relating to such other
matters as may reasonably be requested by the Trustee or its counsel; and

     (5) If the Securities to be issued are Original Issue Discount Securities, an Officers’

with respect to such Series, authenticate and make available for delivery one or more Global
Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an
aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
Series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of
the Depositary for such Global Security of Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii)
shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or be held by the Trustee as Custodian for the
Depositary and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially in the form provided in Section 204.

must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing
agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other applicable statute or
regulation.

     Subject to Section 601 hereof, the Authenticating Agent and the Trustee shall be fully
protected in relying upon the documents delivered to it as provided above in connection with the
issuance of any Series of Securities.

     The Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall have the right to decline to authenticate and
deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee or Authenticating Agent, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee or Authenticating
Agent in good faith by a committee of its Responsible Officers shall determine that such action
would expose the Trustee or Authenticating Agent to liability to Holders of previously issued and
Outstanding Securities.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication unless otherwise specified in the
Authorizing Resolution relating thereto.

     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 or Authenticating Agent by
the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder.

typewritten, photocopied or otherwise produced, in any 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 may, consistently herewith, be determined by the
officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

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

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange

     The Company shall cause to be kept a register at one of its offices or agencies maintained
pursuant to Section 1002 (herein referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of Securities and the registration of transfers of Securities. At all reasonable times the
Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The Security Register shall be kept
at the said office or agency, and said office or agency is hereby initially appointed “Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein
provided. If the Security Registrar shall not be the Authenticating Agent in respect of any
Series, the Company shall promptly notify the Security Registrar as to the amounts and terms of
each Security of such Series which shall be authenticated and delivered hereunder, and as to the
names in which such Securities shall be registered.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the
Company provided for that purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent 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 and Stated Maturity of a like aggregate
principal amount.

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

     At the option of the Holder, Securities of any Series (other than a Global Security, except as
set forth below) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same Series of any authorized
denominations, of a like 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 Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and make
available for delivery, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     If at any time the Depositary for any Securities of a Series notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such Series or if at any time
the Depositary for the Securities of such Series shall no longer be eligible under Section 303, the
Company shall appoint a

20

 

successor Depositary eligible under Section 303, with respect to the
Securities of such Series. If a successor Depositary eligible under Section 303 for the Securities
of such Series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such
notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 301(10)
that the Securities of such Series be represented by one or more Global Securities shall no longer
be effective with respect to the Securities of such Series and the Company shall execute and the
Authenticating Agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Securities of such Series, shall authenticate and make available for delivery,
Securities of such Series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such Series in exchange for such
Global Security or Securities.

     The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any
Series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such
Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company shall execute, and the Authenticating
Agent, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities
of such Series, shall authenticate and make available for delivery Securities of such Series in
definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Security or Securities representing such Series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

     If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a Series of Securities
represented by a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Securities may surrender a Global
Security for such Series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such
Series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.
Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate
and make available for delivery without service charge:

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

     (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the
difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and
the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered pursuant to clause (i) above.

     In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will
execute and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent will authenticate and make available for delivery
Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations.

     Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive registered form, such
Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. The
Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names
such Securities are so registered.

     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 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

21

 

may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1108 not involving any transfer.

     The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Security of any Series during a period beginning at the opening of the day which is 15 Business
Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such Series selected
for redemption under Section 1104 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing,
or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be
redeemed.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities

     If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee
receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii)
there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee
that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon
its request the Trustee or Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and make available for delivery
in exchange for, or in lieu of, any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new
Security of like tenor, Series and principal amount, bearing a number not assigned to any Security
of the same Series then 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
the indebtedness represented by 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 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 the same Series duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section are exclusive and (to the extent lawful) shall preclude 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

     Interest which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date, on the Securities of any Series, shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Securities (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) are 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, as such, on the Regular Record Date for such payment;
and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided
in Clause (1) or (2) below:

     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons
in whose names the Securities (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

22

 

deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount of such Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid 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 mailed as aforesaid, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the said Securities (or
their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered 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 in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Securities of such Series 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 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.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 1502, in the case of any Security (or any part thereof)
which is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date (other than any Security the principal of (or premium, if any, on) which shall become
due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration prior to such
Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be
payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion and such interest (whether or
not punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security
(or any one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular
Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence or in
Section 1502, in the case of any Security (or any part
thereof) which is converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of
such Security (or such part thereof) shall not be payable.

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners

     Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security
is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of
(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.

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

23

 

Section 309. Cancellation

     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All
Securities so delivered and any Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose
shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee and all Securities of any Series delivered to the
Trustee for credit against any Sinking Fund payment in respect of such Series pursuant to Section
1202 shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the
Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange
for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in its
customary manner.

Section 310. CUSIP Numbers

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

ARTICLE FOUR

Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and
premium, if any) and interest for payment of which such money has been deposited with the Trustee;
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in
writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or, to the
knowledge of the Trustee, the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance
of any such action.

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

     If any one or more of the Events of Default described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) of
Section 501 with respect to Securities of any Series shall happen, then, and in each and every such
case, during the continuance of any such Event of Default, either the Trustee, by notice in writing
to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of such Securities then
Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and to the Trustee, may declare the principal
amount (or, if such Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount as may then be payable on acceleration as provided in the terms thereof) of all
such Securities then Outstanding (if not then due and payable) to be immediately due and payable,
and upon any such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due and payable, anything in
this Indenture or in the Securities contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If any one or more
of the Events of Default described in clauses (6) or (7) of Section 501 shall happen, then, and in
each and every such case, the principal amount (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may then be payable on acceleration as provided
in the terms thereof) of all the Securities then Outstanding (if not then due and payable), shall
immediately and automatically become due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the
part

26

 

of the Trustee or any Holder, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities contained to the
contrary notwithstanding.

     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made with respect to any
Securities 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
such Securities Outstanding (voting as a single class) 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 installments of interest on all such Securities,

     (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) such Securities which have become
due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon from the
respective due dates thereof at the respective rates borne by such Securities or, in the
case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at rates equal to the respective Yields to
Maturity thereof, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,

     (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue
installments of interest from the respective due dates thereof at the respective rates
borne by such Securities or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at rates
equal to the respective Yields to Maturity thereof, 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 such Securities, other than the non-payment of
the principal of such Securities which have become due solely by such 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.

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 installment of interest on any Security when such
interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for the period of grace, if any,
provided for with respect to such payment, or

     (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
Security at its Maturity and such default continues for the period of grace, if any, provided
for with respect to such payment,

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of all such
Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest, with interest, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, upon the
overdue principal (and premium, if any) and installments of interest from the due date thereof at
the rate borne by such Securities or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at a rate
equal to the Yield to Maturity thereof, 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 forthwith 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

27

 

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

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other 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 its or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the
Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of
overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise,

     (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount (or, in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount thereof as shall then be provable
in bankruptcy as specified therein) of principal (and premium, if any) and interest 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;

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

     (iii) to take any and all other actions authorized under the TIA in order to have claims of
the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding;

and any receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, 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 to 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. To the extent that the payment of any such
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding,
shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be
paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the
Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

     Nothing herein contained 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. 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.

28

 

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 with respect to the Securities of
any Series, or after an Event of Default any moneys or properties distributable in respect of the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture, 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 Securities of such Series 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 or reasonably anticipated to become due to the

Section 507. Limitation On Suits

     No Holder of any Securities 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) the Trustee shall have received written notice from such Holder of a continuing Event
of Default in respect of such Securities;

     (2) the Trustee shall have received a written request from the Holders of not less than 25%
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the Series in respect of which the Event of
Default

29

 

has occurred 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 indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

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

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

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of any Series 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 Holders of Securities of that Series, or to
obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders of Securities of that
Series or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for
the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders of Securities of such Series.

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

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any
premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date), to convert such
Securities in accordance with Article Fifteen to the extent that such right to convert is
applicable to such Security 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 the
Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, 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

     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 Security to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred
on the Trustee in respect of the Securities of any Series, provided that

     (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or
unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Securities of all Series not joining in such
direction (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain
whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or, in the opinion of
the Trustee, involve the Trustee in personal liability, and

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

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 such Securities waive any past default or Event of
Default on such Series and its consequences, except a default or Event of Default

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

     (2) to the extent such right is applicable to such Security, a failure by the Company on
request to convert any Security into Common Stock; or

     (3) 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 affected.

     Upon any such waiver, such default or Event of 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 Event of 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 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 and expenses, against any party litigant in
such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such
party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more
than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all Series (or, if the matter in
issue does not relate to all Series of Securities, then the Holders of 10% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of all Series to which such issue relates) (treated as a single class),
or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Securities for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any such Security on or after the respective
Stated Maturities expressed therein (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

31

 

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.

Section 516. Exemption From Individual Liability

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture, or of any
Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer, director or employee, as such, past, present or future, of the
Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue
of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, it being expressly understood that this Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder
are solely corporate obligations of the Company, and that no such personal liability whatever shall
attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the incorporators, stockholders, officers, directors or
employees, as such, of the Company or of any successor corporation, or any of the foregoing
Persons, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of
the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities or
implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability, either at common law or in equity
or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such
incorporator, stockholder, officer, director or employee, as such, because of the creation of the
indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements
contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly
waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture
and the issuance of such Securities.

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 provisions hereof are specifically
required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same
to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not
confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated
therein).

     (b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise, as a prudent 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

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

32

 

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

     (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of all Series (voting as a single class) relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and

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

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

Section 602. Notice of Defaults

     Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder in respect of any Series of
Securities, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of the Securities of such Series, as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder known
to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that,
except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
on any Security or in the payment of any Sinking Fund installment, the Trustee shall be protected
in withholding such notice if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is
in the interest of the Holders; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the
character specified in Section 501(4) no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30
days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any
event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default.

Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 601:

     (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,

(whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or presented by the proper party or parties;

     (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may

33

 

     (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested

incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

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

by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture;

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

     (k) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of
profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or
damage and regardless of the form of action; and

     (l) in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly,
forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents,
acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or
acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer
(software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable
efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume
performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Section 604. Not Responsible For Recitals or Issuance of Securities

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of

34

 

the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Section 605. May Hold Securities

     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and, subject to Section 608, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such
other agent.

Section 606. Money Held In Trust

     Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money
received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.

     The Company agrees

     (1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing

of a trustee of an express trust);

     (2) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including
the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel),
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad
faith; and

     (3) to fully indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it
harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including taxes (other
than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad faith on its
part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust,
including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel and the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

     As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by
the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular
Securities.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(6) or Section 501(7), the expenses (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or other similar law.

     The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests

     The Trustee shall comply with the terms of Section 310(b) of the TIA. There shall be excluded
from the terms of Section 310(b) of the TIA this Indenture and all series of debt securities
issuable hereunder or any indenture or indentures under which other

35

 

securities or certificates of
interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements
for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(i) are met.

Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state, authorized under
such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the
Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall serve as Trustee hereunder. If at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor

     (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee under Section 611.

     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of any Series by giving
written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition at the expense of the Company any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such Series.

     (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any Series by Act
of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such Series,
delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If within 30 days of such removal no successor
trustee has been appointed as successor trustee and accepted such appointment, the Trustee may
petition at the expense of the Company a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor trustee.

     (d) If at any time:

     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by the
Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months,
or

     (2) the Trustee for a Series of Securities shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder of such
Securities, or

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect
to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all
Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee. If within 30 days of such removal or
inability to act, no successor trustee has been appointed as successor trustee and accepted such
appointment, the Trustee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor trustee.

     (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more
Series, the Company

36

 

shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the
Securities of that or those Series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be
appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such Series and that 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 in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such Series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the
successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series and 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
hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such Series for
at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such Series.

     (f) The Company or successor Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series and each appointment of a successor
Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any Series by mailing written notice of such event by first class
mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities of such Series as their names and addresses
appear in the 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) Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to all Securities 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 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, subject nevertheless to its
lien, if any, provided for in Section 607.

     (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, upon payment of its
charges, 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 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,

37

 

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, subject nevertheless to its
lien, if any, provided for in Section 607.

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

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

Section 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business

     Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of 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

     (a) semi-annually, not later than March 15 and September 15 in each year, a list, in such
form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of the
Securities of each Series as of the preceding March 1 or September 1, respectively, and

     (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the

     (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names
and addresses of Holders of Securities of each Series contained in the most recent list furnished
to the Trustee in respect of such Series as provided in Section 701 and the name and addresses of
Holders
received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar (if so acting). The Trustee may
destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 701 upon receipt of a new list so
furnished.

     (b) If three or more Holders of Securities of any Series (hereinafter referred to as
“applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish the Trustee reasonable proof that each
such applicant has owned a Security of such Series for a period of at least six months preceding
the date of such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to communicate
with other Holders of Securities of such Series with respect to their rights under this Indenture
or under the Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication
which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after
the receipt of such application, at its election, either

     (i) afford such applicants access to the information in respect of such Series preserved at

in accordance with Section 702(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the
form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

     If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the
Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of Securities of
such Series whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee
in accordance with Section 702(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is

said Holders or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the
basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections
specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such
objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the
Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so
sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of

renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such
applicants respecting their application.

     (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and
the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the
disclosure of

39

 

any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with

the Trustee nor the Company shall be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to
a request made under Section 702(b).

     (1) file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same
with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other

Agent a sum

44

 

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 (and premium, if
any) 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 initially appoints the Trustee as
Paying Agent.

     The Company will cause each Paying Agent 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 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) in the making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest; 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.

this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or 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

payable shall, subject to compliance with applicable abandoned property law, be paid to the Company
on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once or mailed to each such
holder or both, 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

during such year and of the Company’s performance under this Indenture such signer would normally
obtain knowledge whether or not the Company is in default in the performance of any covenant or
agreement set forth in the Indenture, stating whether or not such signer has obtained knowledge
that the Company is in default in the performance of any such covenant or agreement, and if so,
specifying each such default of which the signer has knowledge and the nature thereof. The Company

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 Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the
business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders of the Securities.

Section 1006. Waiver of Certain Covenants

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set
forth in Sections 1004 and 1005 and any other covenant or condition set forth in any Authorizing
Resolution or supplemental indenture for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities or any
particular Series of Securities, if the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of all Series which are entitled to the benefits thereof (voting
as a single class) shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or
generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or
affect such covenant 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 covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 1007. Calculation of Original Issue Discount and Other Amounts Payable.

any Original Issue Discount Securities shall be Outstanding and Original Issue Discount reporting
is required (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily
rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii)
such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant
under the Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. The Company will be
responsible for making calculations called for under the Securities, including but not limited to
determination of redemption price, premium, if any, and any additional amounts or other amounts
payable on the Securities. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and, absent
manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Company will
provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the
Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without
independent verification.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 1101. Right of Redemption

     Redeemable Securities may be redeemed otherwise than through the operation of the Sinking Fund
provided for in Article Twelve at the election of the Company at the times, on the conditions and
at the Redemption Prices specified therein, in (or pursuant to) the Authorizing Resolution relating
thereto and in the supplemental indenture (if any) executed in connection with the issuance of such
Securities, any Redemption Price to be accompanied by accrued interest to the Redemption Date.

Section 1102. Applicability of Article

     Redemption of Securities at the election of the Company or otherwise, as permitted or required
by any provision referred to in Section 1101, shall be made in accordance with such provision and
this Article.

46

 

Section 1103. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution
or set forth in an Officers’ Certificate which states that such election has been duly authorized
by all
requisite corporate action on the part of the Company. In case of any redemption at the election
of the Company the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the
Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such
Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and of the principal amount of Securities of the Series or
the several 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 Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction. If the Redemption Price is not known at the time such notice is
to be given, the actual Redemption Price, calculated as described in the terms of the Securities,
will be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee no later than
two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date.

Section 1104. Selection By Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed

     If less than all the Securities of any Series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities of
such Series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 90 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee (subject to applicable procedures of the Depositary in the case of Global Notes), from
the Outstanding Securities of such Series not previously called for redemption, by such method as
the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption
of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination of the Series or any integral multiple
thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger than such minimum
denomination. If the Company shall so specify, Securities held by the Company or any Subsidiary
shall not be included in the Securities selected for redemption.

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

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

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

Section 1105. Notice of Redemption

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

     All notices of redemption shall state:

     (1) the Redemption Date,

     (2) the Redemption Price (or manner of calculation if not then known),

47

 

     (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of the Series are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount), including Cusip
number, of the particular Securities to be redeemed,

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

     (5) if applicable, the conversion price, the date on which the right to convert the
principal of the Securities or the portions thereof to be redeemed will terminate, and the place
or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,

     (6) that the redemption is for a Sinking Fund, if such is the case,

     (7) the name and address of the Paying Agent or such other place or places where such
Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price, and

     (8) applicable CUSIP Numbers.

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

Section 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price

     On or 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) any accrued interest on, all the
Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

     If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or
with a Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall
(subject to the right of any Holder of such Security to receive interest as provided in the last
paragraph of Section 307) be paid to the Company on Company Request, or if then held by the
Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

Section 1107. 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 thereof 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 on the relevant Regular or Special Record Date 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 or duly provided for, bear
interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security or, in the case of Original
Issue Discount Securities, at a rate equal to the Yield to Maturity thereof.

Section 1108. Securities Redeemed In Part

     Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency
of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (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

48

 

the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing),
and the Company shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same Series,
of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to
and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered; except
that if a Global Security is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Authenticating
Agent shall authenticate, upon Company Order, and deliver to the Depositary for such Global
Security without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in exchange
for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Global Security so surrendered.

ARTICLE TWELVE

SINKING FUND

Section 1201. Sinking Fund Payments

     As and for a Sinking Fund for the retirement of Sinking Fund Securities, the Company will,
until all such Securities are paid or payment thereof is duly provided for, deposit in accordance
with Section 1106, at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be specified in
the provisions of such Securities and the Authorizing Resolution and supplemental indenture (if
any) relating thereto, such amounts in cash as shall be required or permitted under such provisions
in order to redeem Securities on the specified Redemption Dates at a Redemption Price equal to
their principal amounts, less in each such case the amount of any credit against such payment
received by the Company under Section 1202. Each such Sinking Fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities on the specified Redemption Date as herein provided.

Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities

     The Company (1) may deliver Securities of the same Series (other than any previously called
for redemption or theretofore applied as a credit against a Sinking Fund payment) and (2) may apply
as a credit Securities of the same Series redeemed at the election of the Company pursuant to
Section 1101 or through the operation of the Sinking Fund in any period in excess of the minimum
amount required for such period under Section 1201 or the provisions relating to such Series
referred to in Section 1201 and not theretofore applied as a credit against a Sinking Fund payment,
in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any Sinking Fund payment required to be made
pursuant to Section 1201. Each such Security so delivered or applied shall be credited for such
purpose by the Trustee at a Redemption Price equal to its principal amount and the required amount
of such Sinking Fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 1203. Redemption of Securities For Sinking Fund

     If in any year the Company shall elect to redeem in excess of the minimum principal amount of
Securities required to be redeemed pursuant to Section 1201 or to satisfy all or any part of any
Sinking Fund payment by delivering or crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202, then at least
60 days prior to the date on which the Sinking Fund payment in question shall be due (or such
shorter period as shall be approved by the Trustee), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the Sinking Fund payment and the portions thereof
which are to be satisfied by payment of cash, by delivery of Securities or by crediting Securities,
and, at least 45 days prior to the Sinking Fund payment date (or such shorter period as shall be
approved by the Trustee), will also deliver to the Trustee the Securities to be so delivered. Such
Officers’ Certificate shall also state that the Securities forming the basis of any such credit do
not include any Securities which have been redeemed through the operation of the Sinking Fund in
the minimum amount required under Section 1201, previously credited against any Sinking Fund
payment. The Trustee shall, upon the receipt of such Officers’ Certificate (or, if it shall not have
received such an Officers’ Certificate at least 60 days prior to the Sinking Fund payment date, then following such 60th day),
select the Securities to be redeemed upon the next Sinking Fund payment date,

49

 

in the manner specified in Section 1104, and cause notice of
the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner
provided in Section 1105. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities
shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1107 and 1108.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 1301. Defeasance

     Upon the Company’s election to have this Section 1301 apply to one or more Series of
Securities, and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified in Section 1303, the
Company shall be discharged from all of its obligations under such Securities and under this
Indenture with respect to such Securities, except for its obligations under Sections 304, 305, 306,
607, 1002 and 1003 and this Article Thirteen (referred to below as a “defeasance”).

Section 1302. Covenant Defeasance

     Upon the Company’s election to have this Section 1302 apply to one or more Series of
Securities, and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified in Section 1303, the
occurrence of an event specified in Section 501(3) or (4) or (5) shall not be deemed to be an Event
of Default in respect of such Securities (referred to below as a “covenant defeasance”).

Section 1303. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance

     The following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1301 or Section 1302 to
the Securities of any Series:

     (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
(which term, for purposes of this Article, shall also refer to another trustee satisfying the
requirements of Section 609 who shall agree to comply with the applicable provisions of this
Article) in trust for the Holders of such Securities (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S.
Government Obligations (as defined below) 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 investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, to pay and discharge the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such
Securities on the Stated Maturity thereof in accordance with this Indenture and such Securities.
“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 full and timely 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 of such U.S. Government Obligation or of 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 such holder from any amount received by the custodian in respect of such U.S. Government
Obligation.

     (2) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that the
Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a
result of such deposit, defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income
tax on the

50

 

same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such deposit, defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred.

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

     (4) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an
Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit or, insofar as any event described in Section 501(5) or (6), at any time
prior to the 91st day after such deposit.

     (5) Such deposit, defeasance or discharge shall not result in a 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.

     (6) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such
deposit constituting an investment company as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, or such trust shall be qualified under such Act or exempt from regulation thereunder.

     (7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth such election under Section 1301 or 1302, as applicable, and stating that all conditions
precedent provided for relating to such defeasance, discharge or deposit have been complied
with, and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating
to such defeasance, discharge or deposit have been complied with.

Section 1304. Application of Funds

     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 pursuant to Section 1303 in
respect of one or more Series of Securities 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 (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 any premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

     The Company shall pay (in addition to any U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 1303), and indemnify the Trustee against, any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1303 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 the Outstanding Securities.

     Anything in this Article Thirteen 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 1303 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
investment bank, appraisal firm or 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.

Section 1305. Reinstatement

     If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section
1304 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Securities of such Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit
had occurred pursuant to this Article Thirteen until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money

51

 

in accordance with Section 1304; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of and any premium or interest on any Security following the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
the Securities of such Series to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the
Paying Agent.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

SUBORDINATION

Section 1401. Applicability of Article

     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are
expressly subordinate to Senior Indebtedness (“Senior Subordinated Securities”).

Section 1402. Securities Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness

     Subject to Section 301(16) for any series of Securities which are Senior Subordinated
Securities, the Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Senior Subordinated Security, by
his, her or its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness
represented by the Senior Subordinated Securities and the payment of the principal of and any
premium or interest on each and all of the Senior Subordinated Securities is subordinate, to the
extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of
all Senior Indebtedness. Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be Senior Indebtedness and entitled
to the benefits of these subordination provisions irrespective of any amendment, modification or
waiver of any term of the Senior Indebtedness or extension or renewal of the Senior Indebtedness.

     In the event (a) of any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, or (b) subject to the provisions of Section 1403
that (i) a default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the payment of principal,
interest or any other monetary amounts due and payable on any Senior Indebtedness, and such default
shall have continued beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument evidencing
such Senior Indebtedness (and the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company or one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives,
or the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any such Senior Indebtedness may
have been issued), or (ii) the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness shall have been accelerated
because of a default in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (and the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof from the Company or one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or their
representative or representatives, or the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which
any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued), then:

     (i) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive, in the
case of (a) above, payment of all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness
(including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate
specified in the applicable Senior Indebtedness) and, in the case of subclauses (i) and (ii)
of clause (b) above, payment of all amounts due thereon, or provision shall be made for such
payment in money or money’s worth, before the Holders of any of the Senior Subordinated
Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or any premium or interest on the
indebtedness evidenced by the Senior Subordinated Securities, including, without limitation,
any payments made pursuant to Article Eleven or Article Twelve;

     (ii) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of any of the
Senior Subordinated Securities would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article,
including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of
the payment of any other

52

 

indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of
such Senior Subordinated Securities, shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such
payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee
or otherwise, directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or
representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any
instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably
according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness
held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
(or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or
distribution is made to the Holders of the indebtedness evidenced by such Senior
Subordinated Securities;

     (iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution
of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of
the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of
such Securities, in respect of principal of, or any premium or interest on, any of the
Senior Subordinated Securities or in connection with the repurchase by the Company of any of
the Senior Subordinated Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of any
of the Senior Subordinated Securities when such payment or distribution is prohibited
pursuant to this Section, such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the holders of
such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of
all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been
paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision
therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and

     (iv) the Company also may not make any payment upon or in respect of the Senior
Subordinated Securities if (i) a default described in clause (b) above or (ii) any other
default occurs and is continuing with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness that
currently, or with the passage of time or giving of notice, permits holders of the
Designated Senior Indebtedness as to which such default relates to accelerate its maturity
and, in the case of any such default described in this clause (ii), the Trustee receives a
notice of such default of the type referred to in this clause (ii) (a “Payment Blockage
Notice”) from the Company or the holders of any Designated Senior Indebtedness. Payments on
the Senior Subordinated Securities may and shall be resumed (a) in the case of a payment
default, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived in writing by the holders of
the applicable Senior Indebtedness or (b) in case of a nonpayment default, the earlier of
the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived in writing by the holders of
Designated Senior Indebtedness or 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment
Blockage Notice is received by the Trustee, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior
Indebtedness has been accelerated. No new period of payment blockage may be commenced under clause (ii) above unless and until (i) 360 days have elapsed since
the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (ii) all scheduled
payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Subordinated
Securities that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No nonpayment default that
existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the
Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such
default shall have been waived in writing or cured for a period of not less than 180 days.
If the Company makes any payment to the Trustee or any Holder of any Senior Subordinated
Securities prohibited by the foregoing, such payment will be required to be held in trust
for, and paid over to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or the representatives thereof).

53

 

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the 90th day following the date of deposit of
money or Government Obligations pursuant to Section 1304 (provided all other conditions set out in
such Section shall have been satisfied) the funds so deposited and any interest thereon will not be
subject to any rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, those
arising under this Article.

     For purposes of this Article Fourteen, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be
deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the
Company or any other Person provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment
of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article with respect to the Senior
Subordinated Securities to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be
outstanding; provided that (i) the indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness, as the case may be,
that constitutes Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the Person, if any, resulting from any such
reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are
not, without the consent of each such holder adversely affected thereby, altered by such
reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the
Company into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the
conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another
Person upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article Eight hereof shall not be deemed a
dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section if such
other Person shall, as part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the
conditions stated in Article Eight hereof.

Section 1403. Disputes with Holders of Certain Senior Indebtedness

     Any failure by the Company to make any payment on or perform any other obligation under Senior
Indebtedness, other than any indebtedness incurred by the Company or assumed or guaranteed,
directly or indirectly, by the Company for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal, extension or
refunding thereof) or any indebtedness or obligation as to which the provisions of this Section
shall have been waived by the Company in the instrument or instruments by which the Company
incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise created such indebtedness or obligation, shall not be
deemed a default or event of default under Section 1402(b) if (i) the Company shall be disputing
its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (ii) either (A) no final
judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the Company which is in full force
and effect and is not subject to further review, including a judgment that has become final by
reason of the expiration of the time within which a party may seek further appeal or review, or (B)
in the event of a judgment that is subject to further review or appeal has been issued, the Company
shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other proceeding for review and a stay of execution
shall have been obtained pending such appeal or review.

Section 1404. Subrogation

     Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Senior
Subordinated Securities shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all
obligations of the Company which by their express terms are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of
the Company to the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and which are entitled to like
rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness
until all amounts owing on the Senior Subordinated Securities shall be paid in full, and as between
the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, no such
payment or distribution made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by virtue of this Article that
otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on
account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article are,
and are intended solely for the purpose of, defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one
hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

54

 

Section 1405. Obligation of Company Unconditional

     Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Senior Subordinated
Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the
holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of and any premium or interest on the Senior
Subordinated Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their
terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the
Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent
the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the
exercise of any such remedy.

     Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee
and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent
jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding
affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy,
receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or agent or other person
making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of
the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable
thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or
to this Article.

     The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person
representing himself, herself or itself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or
representative on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder
of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder or holders. In
the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect
to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such
Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution
and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and, if such
evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer payment to such Person pending judicial
determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 1406. Payments on Securities Permitted

     Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Senior Subordinated
Securities shall affect the obligations of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making,
payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on the Senior Subordinated Securities in
accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article.

Section 1407. Effectuation of Subordination by Trustee

     Each Holder of Senior Subordinated Securities, by his, her or its acceptance thereof,
authorizes and directs the Trustee in his, her or its behalf to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the
Trustee his, her or its attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, for any and all such purposes.

Section 1408. Knowledge of Trustee

     The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company
which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Senior Subordinated Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the

55

 

existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless and until
the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof mailed or delivered to the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office from the Company, any Holder, any paying agent or the holder or
representative of any Senior Indebtedness; provided that if at least two (2) Business Days prior to
the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of the principal or any premium or interest on any
Security) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for
in this Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which
they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by
it within two (2) Business Days prior to or on or after such date.

Section 1409. Trustee May Hold Senior Indebtedness

     The Trustee, in its individual capacity, shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any
other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any
of its rights as such holder.

Section 1410. Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired

     No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the
subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or
failure to act on the part of the Company or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms,
provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such
holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

     With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, (i) the duties and obligations of the
Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture; (ii) the Trustee
shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture; (iii) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee; and (iv) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary as to
such holders.

Section 1411. Trust Moneys Not Subordinated

     Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or U.S.
Government Obligations held in trust under Article Four or Article Thirteen by the Trustee for the

shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or subject
to the restrictions set forth in this Article, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay
over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness or any other creditor of
the Company.

Section 1412. Article Applicable to Paying Agent

     In case at any time any paying agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case
(unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such paying
agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes, as if such paying agent were named
in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Sections 1408
and 1409 shall not apply to the Company if it acts as its own paying agent.

Section 1413. Trustee; Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnity Not Prejudiced

Section 1414. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness

     The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall in good faith
mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other person
cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by
virtue of this Article or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the
Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Article and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to
holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

ARTICLE FIFTEEN

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 1501. Applicability of Article

     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are
convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company, and the issuance of such shares of Common
Stock upon the conversion of such Securities, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for the Securities of such series.

Section 1502. Exercise of Conversion Privilege

     In order to exercise a conversion privilege, the Holder of a Security of a series with such a
privilege shall surrender such Security to the Company at the office or agency maintained for that
purpose pursuant to Section 1002, accompanied by a duly executed conversion notice to the Company
substantially in the form set forth in Section 206 (or other form specified pursuant to the related
supplemental indenture or Authorizing Resolution) stating that the Holder elects to convert such
Security or a specified portion thereof. Such notice shall also state, if different from the name
and address of such Holder, the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued.
Securities surrendered for conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed by or accompanied by instruments of transfer in forms satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee duly executed by the registered Holder or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and
Securities so surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of
business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (excluding Securities or portions thereof called
for redemption during the period beginning at the close of business on a Regular Record Date and
ending at the opening of business on the first Business Day after the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the second such Business Day)
shall also be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the
interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Security then being
converted, and such interest shall be payable to such registered Holder notwithstanding the
conversion of such Security, subject to the provisions of Section 307 relating to the payment of
Defaulted Interest by the Company. As promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice and
of any payment required pursuant to a Authorizing Resolution and, subject to Section 303, set
forth, or determined in the manner established in such Authorizing Resolution or one or more
indentures supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of such series of Security, and the
surrender of such Security in accordance with such reasonable regulations as the Company may
prescribe, the Company shall issue and shall deliver, at the office or agency at which such
Security is surrendered, to such Holder or on its written order, a certificate or certificates for
the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Security (or
specified portion thereof), in accordance with the provisions of such Authorizing Resolution or
supplemental indenture, and cash as provided therein in respect of any fractional share of such
Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been
effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date

57

 

on which such notice and such payment, if required, shall have been received in proper order for conversion by the Company and
such Security shall have been surrendered as aforesaid (unless such Holder shall have so
surrendered such Security and shall have instructed the Company to effect the conversion on a
particular date following such surrender and such Holder shall be entitled to convert such Security
on such date, in which case such conversion shall be deemed to be effected immediately prior to the
close of business on such date) and at such time the rights of the Holder of such Security as such
Security Holder shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be issuable upon such conversion shall
be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record of the shares represented thereby. Except
as set forth above and subject to the final paragraph of Section 307, no payment or adjustment
shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued on the Securities (or any part
thereof) surrendered for conversion or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock of the
Company issued upon such conversion. In the case of any Security which is converted in part only,
upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or
on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of
the same series, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the
unconverted portion of such Security.

Section 1503. No Fractional Shares

     No fractional share of Common Stock of the Company shall be issued upon conversions of
Securities of any series. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time
by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be
computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions
thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If, except for the provisions of this
Section, any Holder of a Security or Securities would be entitled to a fractional share of Common
Stock of the Company upon the conversion of such Security or Securities, or specified portions
thereof, the Company shall pay to such Holder an amount in cash equal to the current market value
of such fractional share computed, (i) if such Common Stock is listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges on a national securities exchange or market, on the basis of the last reported
sale price on such exchange or market on the last trading day prior to the date of conversion upon
which such a sale shall have been effected, or (ii) if such Common Stock is not at the time so
listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange or market, on
the basis of the average of the bid and asked prices of such Common Stock in the over-the-counter
market, on the last trading day prior to the date of conversion, as reported by the National
Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or similar organization if the National Quotation Bureau,
Incorporated is no longer reporting such information, or if not so available, the fair market price
as determined by the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Section, “trading day” shall mean
each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday other than any day on which the Common Stock
is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or if the Common Stock is not traded on the New York
Stock Exchange, on the principal exchange or market on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted.

Section 1504. Adjustment of Conversion Price

     The conversion price of Securities of any series that is convertible into Common Stock of the
Company shall be adjusted for any stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, combinations or
similar transactions in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or Authorizing
Resolution setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series. Whenever the conversion price
is adjusted, the Company shall compute the adjusted conversion price in accordance with terms of
the applicable Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture and shall prepare an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the adjusted conversion price and showing in reasonable detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at each office
or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 1002 and, if
different, with the Trustee. The Company shall forthwith cause a notice setting forth the adjusted
conversion price to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each

58

 

Holder of Securities of such series at its address appearing on the Security Register and to any conversion agent other than the
Trustee.

Section 1505. Notice of Certain Corporate Actions

     In case:

     (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock
payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained earnings (other than a dividend for which
approval of any shareholders of the Company is required) that would require an adjustment pursuant
to Section 1504; or

     (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to all or substantially all of the holders of
its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any other rights (other than any such grant for which approval of any
shareholders of the Company is required); or

     (3) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or
combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or of any consolidation, merger or share
exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company
is required), or of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

     (4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee, and shall cause to be mailed to all
Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register, at least 20 days (or
10 days in any case specified in Clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of Record to be entitled to such dividend,
distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding
up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common
Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or
other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share
exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. If at any time the Trustee shall not be the
conversion agent, a copy of such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the Company with the
Trustee.

Section 1506. Reservation of Shares of Common Stock

     The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of
its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issuable upon the
conversion of all outstanding Securities of any series that has conversion rights.

Section 1507. Payment of Certain Taxes Upon Conversion

     Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes that may be
payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of its Common Stock on conversion of
Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be
payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of its Common Stock
in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such
issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the
Company the amount of any such tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that
such tax has been paid.

59

 

Section 1508. Nonassessability

     The Company covenants that all shares of its Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion
of Securities will upon issue in accordance with the terms hereof be duly and validly issued and
fully paid and nonassessable.

Section 1509. Provision in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets

     In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, any
merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any
reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Company) or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which
acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture providing that the Holder of each Security of a series then Outstanding that is
convertible into Common Stock of the Company shall have the right thereafter (which right shall be
the exclusive conversion right thereafter available to said Holder), during the period such
Security shall be convertible, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale,
transfer or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which
such Security might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, sale, transfer or lease, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not
a Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or which merged into or with
the Company or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a
“Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his
rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease (provided that if
the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, sale, transfer, or lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the
Company held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease
by others than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of
election shall not have been exercised (“Non-electing Share”), then for the purpose of this Section
the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the holders of each Non-electing Share shall be
deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-electing Shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide
for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture,
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article
or in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or Board Resolutions setting forth
the terms of such adjustments. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances, sales, transfers or leases. Notice of the
execution of such a supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each
Security of a series that is convertible into Common Stock of the Company as provided in Section
106 promptly upon such execution. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent, if any, shall be
under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any such
supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities
or property or cash receivable by Holders of Securities of a series convertible into Common Stock
of the Company upon the conversion of their Securities after any such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any such adjustment, but may accept as conclusive
evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be furnished to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 903.

60

 

Section 1510. Duties of Trustee Regarding Conversion

     Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any Holder of Securities of any series that is convertible into Common Stock of
the Company to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the conversion
price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to
the method employed, whether herein or in any supplemental indenture, any resolutions of the Board
of Directors or written instrument executed by one or more officers of the Company provided to be
employed in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be accountable with
respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock of the
Company, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the
conversion of any Securities and neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent makes any
representation with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 601, neither the Trustee
nor any conversion agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or
deliver any shares of its Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property upon
the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the covenants
of the Company contained in this Article Fifteen or in the applicable supplemental indenture,
resolutions of the Board of Directors or written instrument executed by one or more duly authorized
officers of the Company.

Section 1511. Repayment of Certain Funds Upon Conversion

     Any funds which at any time shall have been deposited by the Company or on its behalf with the
Trustee or any other paying agent for the purpose of paying the principal of and any premium and
interest on any of the Securities (including, but not limited to, funds deposited for the sinking
fund referred to in Article Twelve hereof and funds deposited pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof)
and which shall not be required for such purposes because of the conversion of such Securities as
provided in this Article Fifteen shall after such conversion be repaid to the Company by the
Trustee upon the Company’s written request.

the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any
successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the
