issued under the within-mentioned Indenture.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CHICAGO, as Trustee
By
	Authorized Signature

Section 2.03. Denomination, Authentication and Dating of Securities. The Securities of each series may be issued as registered Securities or, if provided by the terms of the instrument establishing such series of Securities, as unregistered Securities, with or without coupons. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the instrument establishing such series of Securities. Each Security shall be dated as of the date of its authentication.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for

-9-

authentication, together with a Company Direction for authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities in accordance with such Company Direction. Prior to the issuance of Securities of any series, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(1) a Certified Board Resolution pursuant to which the issuance of the Securities of such series is authorized;

(2) an executed supplemental indenture, if any;

(3) an Officers’ Certificate, if any, delivered in accordance with Section 2.01 and an Officers’ Certificate as to the absence of any Event of Default or any event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become an Event of Default; and

(4) an Opinion of Counsel of the Company which in substance shall state that:

(i) the form and the terms of the Securities of such series have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(ii) the Securities of such series have been duly authorized, and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and subject to any other conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture;

(iii) the registration statement, if any, relating to the Securities of such series and any amendments thereto has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933 and to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, as amended, has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened;

(iv) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body in the United States is required for the issuance of the Securities of such series, except such as have been obtained and such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in the United States in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Securities of such series;

(v) neither the issue nor sale of the Securities of such series will conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to such counsel and to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is bound, or any order or regulation known to such counsel to be applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(vi) the authentication and delivery of the Securities of such series by the Trustee in accordance with the Company Direction so to do, and the Company’s execution and delivery of the Securities of such series, will not violate the terms of this Indenture.

-10-

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such series (A) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; or (B) if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or vice presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of outstanding Securities of any series.

So long as there is no existing default in the payment of interest on registered Securities of any series, all such Securities authenticated by the Trustee after the close of business on the Record Date for the payment of interest on any interest payment date relating thereto and prior to such interest payment date shall bear interest from such interest payment date; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the Company shall default in the interest due on such interest payment date, then any such Securities shall bear interest from the next preceding interest payment date relating to such Security with respect to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on such Securities, or if no interest has been paid or duly provided for on such Securities, from the date from which interest shall accrue as such date is set forth in the instrument establishing the terms of such Securities.

The person in whose name any Security is registered at the close of business on any Record Date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Security upon any registration and transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date, in which case such defaulted interest (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall be paid to the persons in whose names outstanding Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date, which shall not be less than five business days preceding the date of payment of such Defaulted Interest established for such purpose by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to Holders of such Securities not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date. Such notice shall be given to the persons in whose names such outstanding Securities of such series are registered at the close of business on the third business day preceding the date of the mailing of such notice.

Section 2.04. Execution of Securities. The Securities and coupons appertaining thereto, if any, shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman or its Vice Chairman or its President or its Chairman of the Executive Committee or any Vice President and by its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary under its corporate seal. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities and such coupons. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities and such coupons.

Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a Trustee’s certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided in Section 2.03, signed manually by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication on any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

-11-

In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Securities or such coupons shall cease to be such officer before the Securities or such coupons so signed shall have been authenticated by the Trustee and delivered or disposed of by the Company, such Securities and such coupons nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Securities and such coupons had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Security or such coupons may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security or such coupons, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of such Security or such coupons or of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such officer.

Section 2.05. Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall keep, at an office or agency maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, a register for each series of registered Securities (such register being herein referred to as the “Security Register”), in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register Securities of such series and shall register the transfer of such Securities as in this Article Two provided. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any such Security at such office or agency, or such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations, of the same series and of like aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity.

Unless and until otherwise determined by or pursuant to the Company by resolution of its Board of Directors, the Security Register for the purpose of registration, exchange or registration of transfer of registered Securities shall be kept at the Corporate Trust Office and, for this purpose, the Trustee shall be designated the “Security Registrar”.

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for Securities of the same series of like aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity and of other authorized denominations. Securities to be so exchanged shall be surrendered at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Company as provided in Section 4.02, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

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

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer 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 relation thereto.

-12-

The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days next preceding any selection of Securities of such series to be redeemed, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of such series selected, called or being called for redemption in whole or in part except, in the case of any security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

Section 2.06. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute and deliver and the Trustee, upon Company Direction, shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten), of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Temporary Securities may be issued without a recital of the specific redemption prices, if any, applicable to such Securities, and may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. The Company shall execute and furnish definitive Securities as soon as practicable and thereupon any or all temporary Securities may be surrendered in exchange therefor at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities a like aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of definitive Securities of the same series. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.07. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security and, in the case of a definitive Security, coupons appertaining thereto, if any, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security or such coupons of the same series bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security or such coupons, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security or such coupons so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case, the applicant for a substituted Security or such coupons shall furnish to the Company and to the Security Registrar and any paying agent, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and to the Security Registrar and any paying agent, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or such coupons and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon Company Direction. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security or such coupons, 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 connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature or which has been called for redemption shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substituted Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the Company and any paying agent with such security or indemnity as either may require to save it harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

-13-

Every substituted Security of any series or coupon issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the fact that any Security or coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series or coupons duly issued and delivered hereunder. All Securities and coupons shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and coupons, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.08. Cancellation of Surrendered Securities. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, and all coupons surrendered for payment, shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and all Securities delivered to the Trustee in discharge or satisfaction in whole or in part of any Sinking Fund payment (referred to in Section 3.04) shall be cancelled by the Trustee and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On request of the Company, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee. With the consent of the Company, the Trustee may destroy cancelled Securities and coupons and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities or coupons, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness or rights represented by such Securities or coupons unless and until the same are delivered or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09. Provisions of Indenture and Securities for the Sole Benefit of the Parties and the Holders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties hereto and the Holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained, all its covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and the Holders.

Section 2.10. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Section 2.11. Authenticating Agents. The Trustee shall, if requested in writing so to do by the Company, promptly appoint an agent or agents of the Trustee who shall have authority to authenticate Securities of any series in the name and on behalf of the Trustee. Such appointment by the trustee shall be evidenced by a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee delivered to the Company prior to the effectiveness of such appointment designating such agent or agents and stating that all appropriate corporate action has been taken by the Trustee in connection with such appointment. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such

-14-

reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent.

Any such authenticating agent shall be an agent acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation which is organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State, authorized under such laws to act as authenticating agent, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000, and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.

An authenticating agent may at any time resign with respect to one or more series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an authenticating agent with respect to one or more series of Securities by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or upon such termination, or in case at any time an authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee promptly may appoint a successor authenticating agent. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an authenticating agent herein. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 7.06.

The provisions of Sections 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

Pursuant to each appointment of an authenticating agent made under this Section, the Securities of each series covered by such appointment may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES - SINKING FUND

Section 3.01. Applicability of Article. The Company may become obligated, or reserve the right, to redeem and pay, prior to Stated Maturity, all or any part of the Securities of any series, either by optional redemption, Sinking Fund or otherwise, by provision therefor in the instrument establishing such series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 or in the Securities of such series. Redemption of any series shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and to the extent that this Article does not conflict with such terms, in accordance with this Article.

Section 3.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Securities. In case the Company shall exercise the right or be obligated to redeem Securities as provided for in the first sentence of Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (unless, by the terms of the instrument establishing such series of Securities or the terms of such Securities, such date is fixed) and it, or, at its request the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall give notice of such redemption to the Holders of the Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, with respect to registered Securities, by mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register and, with respect to unregistered Securities, by publishing in an authorized newspaper notice of such redemption on two separate days, each of which is not less than 30 nor more than the 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is mailed or published, as the case may be, in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder actually receives such notice. In any case, failure duly to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice, to the Holder of any registered Security of any series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.

In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to Holders of registered Securities when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the designation of the series of the Securities to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed will be made at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice, and that, on and after such date, interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the notice to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed shall specify the Securities to be redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, such notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of the same series in authorized denominations and in a principal amount at Stated Maturity equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

-16-

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee written notice, at least 60 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption, as to the aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of Securities of such series to be redeemed, which shall be an integral multiple of the minimum authorized denomination of such series, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities so to be redeemed and, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part only, the principal amount at Stated Maturity so to be redeemed.

Section 3.03. When Securities Called for Redemption Become Due and Payable. If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as provided in Section 3.02, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after such date fixed for redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in such notice, such Securities shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that instalments of interest becoming due on the date fixed for redemption on Securities which are in registered form shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities or of one or more previous such Securities evidencing all or a portion of the same debt as that evidenced by such particular Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 2.03.

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

Section 3.04. Sinking Fund. In the event that the instrument establishing the terms of a particular series shall provide for a Sinking Fund, the Company covenants that as and for a Sinking Fund for the redemption of Securities of such series, so long as any of the Securities of such series are outstanding:

(a) It will pay to the Trustee or to a paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) on or before each date set forth as a Sinking Fund payment date in the instrument establishing such series, a sum in cash sufficient to retire on each such date, at the Sinking Fund redemption price provided for in such instrument and upon the conditions, if any, applicable thereto as specified in such instrument, the principal amount of such Securities as specified in such instrument. Each such date is herein called a “Sinking Fund payment date”, and each sum payable as provided in this paragraph (a) is herein called a “mandatory Sinking Fund payment”.

-17-

(b) If the instrument establishing any series of Securities so provides, the Company may elect to pay to the Trustee or to a paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) on or before any Sinking Fund payment date with respect to a particular series of Securities, an additional sum in cash sufficient to retire on such Sinking Fund payment date, at the Sinking Fund redemption price, up to any additional principal amount of Securities set forth in such instrument. Any sum payable as provided in this paragraph (b) is herein called an “optional Sinking Fund payment”. Any such election by the Company shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (which shall conform to Section 14.05), delivered to the Trustee not later than 60 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) preceding such Sinking Fund payment date, which Certificate shall set forth the amount of the optional Sinking Fund payment which the Company then elects to pay. The Company’s election, so evidenced, shall be irrevocable and the Company shall, upon delivery of such Certificate to the Trustee, become bound to pay or segregate and hold in trust as aforesaid on or before such Sinking Fund payment date the amount specified in such Certificate. Unless otherwise provided in the instrument establishing such series, any such right to make an optional Sinking Fund payment shall be noncumulative and shall in no event relieve the Company of its obligation set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.04.

All moneys paid or segregated and held in trust pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be applied on the Sinking Fund payment date in respect of which such payment or segregation was made, to the redemption of Securities as provided in this Article Three.

Section 3.05. Use of Acquired Securities to Satisfy Sinking Fund Obligations. In lieu of making all or any Sinking Fund payment in cash as may be required by Section 3.04(a), the Company may, not later than 60 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) preceding any applicable Sinking Fund payment date relating to a particular series of Securities, deliver to the Trustee for cancellation Securities of such series theretofore acquired by the Company (otherwise than through the use of Sinking Fund moneys pursuant to Section 3.07) and not theretofore made the basis for the reduction of any Sinking Fund payment with respect to such series, accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate (which shall conform to Section 14.05) stating the Company’s election to use such Securities to reduce the amount of such Sinking Fund payment with respect to such series (specifying the amount of the reduction of each such payment) and certifying that such Securities have not theretofore been made the basis for a reduction of any Sinking Fund payment with respect to such series. Securities so delivered shall be credited against the Sinking Fund payment due on such Sinking Fund payment date at the Sinking Fund redemption price thereof.

Section 3.06. Effect of Failure to Deliver Officers’ Certificate or Securities. In case of a failure of the Company, at or before the time provided above, to deliver any Officers’ Certificate as may be required by Section 3.05, together with any Securities of the particular series required by Section 3.05, the Company shall not be permitted to make any such reduction of the amount of the Sinking Fund payment with respect to such series payable on such Sinking Fund payment date.

-18-

Section 3.07. Manner of Redeeming Securities. The Securities of any series to be redeemed from time to time through the operation of any Sinking Fund relating to such series, as in Section 3.04 provided, shall be selected by the Trustee for redemption in the manner provided in Section 3.02 and notice thereof shall be given by the Trustee to the Company, and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, to give notice on behalf of the Company of the redemption of such Securities, all in the manner and with the effect in this Article Three specified, except that, in addition to the matters required to be included in such notice by Section 3.02, such notice shall also state that the Securities therein designated for redemption are to be redeemed through operation of such Sinking Fund. Such Securities shall be so redeemed and paid in accordance with such notice in the manner and with the effect provided in Sections 3.02 and 3.03.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the amount of cash to be paid into any Sinking Fund with respect to a particular series of Securities on any next succeeding Sinking Fund payment date for such series, together with any unused balance of any preceding Sinking Fund payment or payments with respect to such series which shall not, in any case, include funds held by the Trustee for Securities of such series which previously have been called for redemption, shall not exceed in the aggregate $100,000, the Trustee, unless requested by the Company, shall not select Securities for or give notice of the redemption of Securities through the operation of the Sinking Fund with respect to such series on the next succeeding Sinking Fund payment date. Such unused balance of moneys deposited in the Sinking Fund with respect to a particular series of Securities shall be added to the next Sinking Fund payment for such series to be made in cash or, at the request of the Company, shall be applied at any time or from time to time to the purchase of Securities of such series, by public or private purchase, in the open market or otherwise.

Section 3.08. Sinking Fund Moneys to Be Held as Security During Continuance of Event of Default; Exceptions. Unless all Securities of any series then outstanding are to be redeemed, neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall redeem any Securities of such series with Sinking Fund moneys if such person shall at the time have knowledge of the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to such series, except that where the mailing or publication of notice of redemption of any such Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee or any paying agent, if sufficient funds shall have been deposited with it for such purpose, shall redeem such Securities. However, the Company itself shall not redeem any such Securities with Sinking Fund moneys during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to such series. The Trustee shall not mail or publish any notice of redemption if it shall at the time have knowledge of the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to such series. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the Sinking Fund with respect to such series at such time and any moneys thereafter paid into the Sinking Fund shall during such continuance be held as security for the payment of all Securities of that series; provided, however, that in case such Event of Default with respect to such series shall have been waived as permitted by this Indenture or otherwise cured, such moneys shall thereafter be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Article Three.

The interest on the Securities, if any, shall be payable (subject to the provisions of Section 2.03) only to or upon the written order of the Holders thereof or, in the case of unregistered Securities with coupons, the Holders of coupons relating thereto. Any instalment of interest on registered Securities of any series may at the Company’s option be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of the person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.03 to the address of such person as it appears on the Security Register.

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Offices or Agencies for Registration of Transfer, Exchange and Payment of Securities. As long as any of the Securities of any series remain outstanding, the Company will maintain one or more offices or agencies in Chicago, Illinois, and at such other locations as the Company may from time to time designate for any series of Securities, where such Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange as in this Indenture provided, where such Securities may be presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of such Securities or of this Indenture may be served. The Corporate Trust Office shall be such office in Chicago, Illinois, and the Trustee shall be the agent of the Company in such city for all of the foregoing purposes unless the Company shall designate and maintain some other office and agency for such purposes and give the Trustee written notice of the location thereof. The Company will give to the Trustee notice of the location of each such office or agency and of any change of location thereof.

Section 4.03. Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in the Office of Trustee.

Section 4.04. Duties of Paying Agents, etc. (a) The Company shall cause each paying agent, if any, other than the Trustee, for any series of Securities, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.04, that:

(1) it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series;

(2) it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable; and

For the purposes of this Article, “Funded Debt” shall mean indebtedness (including Securities) maturing by the terms thereof more than one year after the original creation thereof.

The covenant contained in this Section will be subject to the provision for exempted indebtedness in Section 4.07.

Section 4.07. Exempted Indebtedness.

-23-

subject to the limitation of Section 4.06, without retiring Funded Debt, or enter into a combination of such transactions, if the sum of (i) the principal amount of all such debt incurred after the date hereof, and which would otherwise be or have been prohibited by the limitations of Section 4.05 or 4.06 and (ii) the aggregate Value of all such Sale and Lease-Back Transactions after the date hereof does not at any such time exceed 10% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as shown in the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the latest annual report to the stockholders of the Company.

ARTICLE SIX

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS IN EVENT OF DEFAULT

Section 6.01. Events of Default. In case one or more of the following Events of Default (unless it is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically deleted from or modified in the instrument establishing such series and the form of Security for such series) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to any series of Securities, that is to say:

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

-25-

(b) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) the Securities of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at Stated Maturity, upon redemption (for any Sinking Fund payment or otherwise), by declaration or otherwise; or

(c) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company in the Securities of such series, or in this Indenture contained and relating to such series, for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice specifying such failure and requiring the Company to remedy the same shall have been given by registered or certified mail to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least twenty-five per cent in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding; or

(d) the Company shall pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(1) commence a voluntary case,

(2) consent to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(3) consent to the appointment of a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or

(4) make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(e) a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(1) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case,

(2) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or

(3) orders the liquidation of the Company,

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

then and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default with respect to such series shall not have been remedied or waived, unless the principal of all Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty-five per cent in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of such series then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders), may declare the principal (and, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such principal amount as may be determined in accordance with the terms thereof) of all the Securities of such series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the

-26-

Securities of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. This provision, however, is subject to the condition that if at any time after the principal of the Securities of such series (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such principal amount as may be determined in accordance with the terms thereof) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured instalments of interest, if any, upon all the Securities of such series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of such series which shall have become due otherwise than by such acceleration (with interest upon such principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue instalments of interest, at the rate borne by the Securities of such series (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at the yield to Stated Maturity) to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith, and any and all defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Securities of such series which shall have become due by such acceleration, shall have been remedied - then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of such series then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

In case the Trustee or any Holders shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or such Holders, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and such Holders shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 6.02. Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee, etc. The Company covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any instalment of interest on any Securities of any series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity of the Securities of such series or upon redemption (for any Sinking Fund payment or otherwise) or upon declaration or otherwise - then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue instalments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities of such series (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at the yield to Stated Maturity); and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

-27-

In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of such series and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of such series wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar judicial proceedings, relative to the Company, its creditors, or its property, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02) shall, if permitted by law, be entitled and empowered to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series to which the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be entitled, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of such Holders hereunder or on the Securities of such series allowed in such judicial proceedings, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amount payable to the Trustee for compensation and expenses, including counsel fees; and any trustee in bankruptcy or receiver is hereby authorized by each of such Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for compensation and expenses, including counsel fees, incurred by it to the date of such payment. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or empower the Trustee, except in accordance with action taken under Article Nine, to consent to or accept or adopt, on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization or readjustment of the Company affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize or empower the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any such Holder in any such proceedings.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any such Securities, or the production thereof on any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment (except for any amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06) shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which the action was taken.

In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of

-28-

any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 6.03. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee. Any moneys collected by the Trustee, pursuant to Section 6.02 on account of a default relating to a particular series of Securities, shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the several Securities of such series and coupons appertaining thereto, if any, and the notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection, and reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and of all sums due the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06 hereof;

SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities of such series shall not have become due, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such series, in the order of the maturity of the instalments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue instalments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities of such series (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at the yield to Stated Maturity), such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such series shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with interest on the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue instalments of interest at the rate borne by the Securities of such series (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, at the yield to Stated Maturity); 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 premium, if any) and interest, without preference or priority of principal (and premium, if any) over interest, or of interest over principal (and premium, if any) or of any instalment of interest over any other instalment of interest, or of any Securities of such series over any other Securities of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest; and

FOURTH: The remainder, if any, shall be paid to the Company, its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Section 6.04. Limitation on Suits by Holders. No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default with respect to

-29-

Securities of that series and unless the Holders of not less than twenty-five per cent in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the then outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the cost, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of any Security of any series with every other such taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of such Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other such Securities or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of such Securities. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 6.04, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, however, any right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (including any date fixed for redemption pursuant hereto) or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.05. Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission in Exercise of Rights Not a Waiver of Default. All powers and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid, shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 6.06. Rights of Holders of Majority in Principal Amount of Securities of Any Series to Direct Trustee and to Waive Default. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to Securities of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture, and that subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 hereof, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel shall determine that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee shall by a responsible officer or officers determine that the action so directed would involve it in personal liability or would be unjustly prejudicial to Holders of

-30-

Securities of such series not taking part in such direction; and provided further, that nothing in this Indenture contained shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. Prior to the declaration of the maturity of the Securities of any series as provided in Section 6.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of such series. In case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.07. Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to It, But May Withhold Such Notice in Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default, give to the Holders of Securities of any series to which such default relates, in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of all defaults known to the Trustee with respect to such Securities, unless such defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice (the term “default” or “defaults” for the purposes of this Section 6.07 being hereby defined to be any event or events, as the case may be, specified in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 6.01, not including periods of grace, if any, provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of the written notice specified in clause (c) of Section 6.01); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of any series or in the making of any Sinking Fund payment, 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 determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders thereof.

Section 6.08. Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits Under the Indenture or Against the Trustee. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder by his acceptance of any Security shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant 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 6.08 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 ten per cent in principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (including any date fixed for redemption).

Section 6.09. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants and agrees (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-

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.

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a particular series of Securities and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to such series, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to a particular series of Securities has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture relating to such series, 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.

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:

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a particular series of Securities and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred with respect to such series:

(1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations 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 the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for an 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; and

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith relating to Securities of any series in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities

-32-

of such series at the time outstanding 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, with respect to the Securities of such series under this Indenture.

None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate security or indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 7.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Direction (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company shall be evidenced to the Trustee by a Certified Board Resolution;

(c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion of counsel;

(d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

(e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

(f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, 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, approval or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of Securities of any series then outstanding; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs,

-33-

expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding; the reasonable expense of every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and

(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

Section 7.03. Trustee Not Liable for Recitals in Indenture or in Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities of any series. The Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture and perform its obligations hereunder. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities of any series or of the proceeds thereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee, Paying Agent or Security Registrar May Own Securities. The Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar with respect to any series of Securities, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities of such series with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar with respect to such Securities.

Section 7.05. Moneys Received by Trustee to Be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.04 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but 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 with the Company. So long as no Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon a Company Direction.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any provisions of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as otherwise expressly provided, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, attorneys and counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to a lien in favor of the Holders, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon. The Company also covenants

-34-

to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien, prior to that of the Securities of any series with respect to which the indebtedness arose, upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, as such, relating to such series except funds held in Trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of such series.

Section 7.07. Right of Trustee to Rely on an Officers’ Certificate Where No Other Evidence Specifically Prescribed. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 7.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. The Trustee shall be subject to TIA Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9); and for the purposes of this Indenture, with respect to Securities of any series, the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) relating to “other securities” shall be deemed to include Securities of each other series and such provisions relating to any “other indenture or indentures” shall be deemed to include the provisions of this Indenture relating to Securities of each other series.

Section 7.09. Requirements for Eligibility of Trustee. The Trustee hereunder shall at all times 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 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10.

Section 7.10. Resignation and Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign as Trustee with respect to any series of Securities by giving written notice of resignation to the Company and by giving notice thereof to the Holders of the Securities of such series in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA

-35-

Section 313(c). Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such series shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the affected series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

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

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of clause (i) TIA section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the affected series for at least six months, or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, 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, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities of any affected series and appoint a successor trustee thereof by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities 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 removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee thereof. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and appoint a successor trustee therefor by the delivery to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee and to the Company of the evidence provided for in Section 8.01 of the action in that regard taken by such Holders.

-36-

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

Section 7.11. Acceptance by Successor to Trustee. (a) No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor Trustee as provided in Section 7.10 an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to all such Securities; but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such predecessor Trustee, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein, shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the predecessor Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such predecessor Trustee hereunder subject, nevertheless, to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 7.06.

(c) 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 predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of the affected 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 predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates, (2) if the predecessor 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 predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not resigning shall continue to be vested in the predecessor 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 predecessor 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 predecessor 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 predecessor Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by such predecessor Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates.

-37-

(d) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities as provided in this Section 7.11, the Company shall give notice of the succession of such trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office to all Holders of Securities of any such series in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c). If the Company fails to provide such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be provided at the expense of the Company.

Section 7.12. Successor to Trustee by Merger, 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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08, and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of the particular series shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities of such series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in such Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities of the particular series in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 7.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Section 7.14. Appointment of Additional and Separate Trustees. Whenever the Trustee shall deem it necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction, or the Trustee shall be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is necessary or prudent in the interest of the Holders of Securities of any series or in the event that the Trustee shall have been requested to do so by the Holders of a majority in principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding, the Trustee and the Company shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more persons appointed by the Company, either to act as additional trustee or trustees hereunder, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee or trustees hereunder, in any such case with such powers with respect to

-38-

the affected series of Securities as may be provided in such indenture supplemental hereto, and to vest in such bank, trust company or person as such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, any property, title, right or power of the Trustee with respect to the affected series of Securities deemed necessary or advisable by the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.14 below set forth. In the event the Company shall not have joined in the execution of such indenture supplemental hereto within ten days after the receipt of a written request from the Trustee so to do, or in case an Event of Default with respect to the particular series of Securities shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.14 without the concurrence of the Company; and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.14 in either of such contingencies. The Trustee may execute, deliver and perform any deed, conveyance, assignment or other instrument in writing as may be required by any additional trustee or separate trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it any property, title, right or powers with respect to the affected series of Securities conveyed or conferred to or upon such additional trustee or separate trustee, and the Company shall, upon the Trustee’s request, join therein and execute, acknowledge and deliver the same; and the Company hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact for it and in its name, place and stead to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such deed, conveyance, assignment or other instrument with respect to the affected series of Securities in the event that the Company shall not itself execute and deliver the same within ten days after receipt by it of such request so to do. Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.14 shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as in effect as of the date of such supplemental indenture.

Every additional trustee and separate trustee hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act, and the Trustee shall act with respect to a particular series of Securities, subject to the following provisions and conditions:

(1) the Securities of such series shall be authenticated by the Trustee and all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody, investment and payment of moneys, shall be exercised solely by the Trustee;

(2) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to the Securities of such series conferred or imposed upon the Trustee and such additional trustee or separate trustee or any of them shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such additional trustee or trustees and separate trustee or trustees jointly, except to the extent that, under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to the Securities of such series shall be exercised and performed by such additional trustee or trustees or separate trustee or trustees;

(3) no power hereby given to, or with respect to which it is hereby provided may be exercised by, any such additional trustee or separate trustee with respect to a particular series of Securities shall be exercised hereunder by such additional trustee or separate trustee except with the consent of the Trustee; and

-39-

(4) no trustee with respect to a particular series of Securities hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee with respect to such series of Securities hereunder.

If at any time the Trustee shall deem it no longer necessary or prudent in order to conform to any such law or shall be advised by counsel that it is no longer so necessary or prudent in the interest of the Holders of Securities of any series or in the event that the Trustee shall have been requested to do so in writing by the Holders of a majority in principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding, the Trustee and the Company shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to remove any additional trustee or separate trustee with respect to such series. In the event that the Company shall not have joined in the execution of such indenture supplemental hereto, instruments and agreements, the Trustee may act on behalf of the Company to the same extent provided above.

Any additional trustee or separate trustee with respect to any series of Securities may at any time by an instrument in writing constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent which may be authorized by law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretions which it is authorized or permitted to do or exercise with respect to such series, for and in its behalf and in its name. In case any such additional trustee or separate trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the assets, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such additional trustee or separate trustee with respect to such series, as the case may be, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, without the appointment of a new successor to such additional trustee or separate trustee unless and until a successor with respect to such series is appointed in the manner hereinbefore provided.

Any request, approval or consent in writing by the Trustee to any additional trustee or separate trustee of any series of Securities shall be sufficient warrant to such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, to take such action with respect to the particular series of Securities as may be so requested, approved or consented to.

Each additional trustee and separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of, Articles Six, Seven (other than Section 7.09) and Eight hereof and the following Sections of this Indenture shall be specifically applicable to each additional trustee and separate trustee: 5.04(a) (except to the extent that reference therein is made to its eligibility under Section 7.09) and (b), 6.02, 6.07, 7.01, 7.08 and 7.13; provided, however, that no resignation of an additional or separate trustee pursuant to Section 7.10 hereof shall be conditioned in any sense whatever upon the appointment of a successor to such trustee.

ARTICLE EIGHT

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

Section 8.01. Evidence of Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the

-40-

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

Section 8.02. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee.

The ownership of a registered Security shall be proved by the Security Register relating to the series or by a certificate of the Security Registrar.

The ownership of an unregistered Security or any coupon attached to such Security at its issuance shall be proved by the production of such Security or coupon, or, with respect to unregistered Securities only, by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, broker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the person holding such Security, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any unregistered Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Security is produced, (2) such Security is produced by some other person or (3) such Security is no longer outstanding. The amount of unregistered Securities held by any person may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

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

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

Section 8.03. Who May Be Deemed Owner of Securities. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of a registered Security of any series, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name such Security shall be registered, or, in the case of unregistered Securities, the bearer thereof or the owner thereof determined pursuant to Section 8.02, as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by anyone) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; and all such payments so made to any such Holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security.

-41-

Section 8.04. Securities Owned by Company or Controlled or Controlling Companies Disregarded for Certain Purposes. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of Securities of any series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities of such series which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purposes of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities of such series which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities of such series so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series or a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection for the Trustee.

Section 8.05. Instruments Executed by Holders Bind Future Holders. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security of such series which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities of the particular series the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued upon registration of transfer thereof or in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security or such other Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all such Securities.

The Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in effect) for one or more of the following purposes:

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

(b) to appoint one or more additional or separate trustees to act under this Indenture in the manner and to the extent contemplated by Section 7.14;

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

-45-

(d) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Security outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision;

(e) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the Trustee; or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not adversely affect the interests of Holders of Securities of any series;

(f) to modify, amend or supplement this indenture to comply with the provisions of Sections 4.05 and 11.01;

(g) to provide for the issuance of unregistered Securities, or for the exchangeability of registered Securities of any series with unregistered Securities of a series issued hereunder, or vice versa, and to make all appropriate changes for such purpose;

(h) to provide for the issuance under this Indenture of Securities of a series having any form or terms contemplated by Sections 2.01 and 2.02; and

(i) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.14.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 10.01 may be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any Securities of any series at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 10.02.

Section 10.02. Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of a Majority in Principal Amount of Securities. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding, the Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto with respect to Securities of the particular series (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture relating to such series of Securities

-46-

or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of the particular series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the Stated Maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of any interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of Stated Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.01, or change the currency in which any Security is payable, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of any series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Securities of each affected series.

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

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

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

Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.02, the Company shall mail a notice thereof by first-class mail to the Holders of registered Securities of each series affected thereby at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register for such Securities, or, in the case of unregistered Securities, shall give notice in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Company to provide such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 10.03. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended with respect to the affected series of Securities in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Securities of the series affected shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

-47-

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, may regard an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture with respect to any series of Securities complies with the provisions of this Article Ten.

Section 10.04. Securities May Bear Notation of Changes by Supplemental Indentures. Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution, pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten, of any supplemental indenture with respect to any series of Securities may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in the form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. New Securities of the affected series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors of the Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture with respect to such series of Securities may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of the particular series then outstanding.

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, CONVEYANCE OR LEASE

Section 11.01. Company May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations (whether or not affiliated with the Company), or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Company or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance or lease of the property of the Company substantially as an entirety to any other corporation or entity (whether or not affiliated with the Company) authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however, and the Company hereby covenants and agrees, subject to the provisions of Article Twelve (to the extent they are applicable to the Securities of any series), that upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all of the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company, shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture satisfactory in form to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by the corporation (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or by the corporation or entity which shall have acquired or leased such property.

Section 11.02. Securities to Be Secured in Certain Events. Subject to the provisions of Article Twelve (to the extent they are applicable to the Securities of any series), if, upon any consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease referred to in Section 11.01, or upon any consolidation or merger of any Restricted Subsidiary, or upon any sale, conveyance or lease of the property of any Restricted Subsidiary substantially as an entirety to any other corporation or entity, any Principal Property of the Company or of any Restricted Subsidiary or any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary which is owned immediately after such

-48-

consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or a successor to the Company pursuant to Sections 11.01 and 11.03 would thereupon become subject to any mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien or encumbrance (other than a mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien or encumbrance in favor of the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or any such successor), the Company, prior to or concurrently with such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, will effectively provide that the Securities shall be secured (equally and ratably with, if the Company shall determine, any other indebtedness of or guaranteed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary ranking equally with the Securities) by a direct lien on such Principal Property, shares of stock or indebtedness, prior to all liens other than any theretofore existing thereon, so long as such Principal Property, shares of stock or indebtedness shall be subject to such mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien or encumbrance.

Section 11.03. Successor Corporation to Be Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease referred to in Section 11.01 and upon the assumption by the successor corporation or entity, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all of the Securities and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company, such successor corporation or entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a party. Such successor corporation or entity thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of Illinois Tool Works Inc. any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation or entity instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such successor corporation or entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such sale or conveyance, but not any such lease, the Company or any successor corporation or entity which shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Article Eleven shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may be dissolved and liquidated.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease referred to in Section 11.01, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

Section 11.04. Opinion of Counsel to Be Given Trustee. The Trustee, subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02, shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease and any such assumption complies with the provisions of this Article Eleven.
