In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall be impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when said notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or of the Securities, 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.

The entire principal amount of the Securities Outstanding shall be due and payable on the Scheduled Maturity Date in the event the Company does not deliver such Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee on or prior to the 10^thBusiness Day immediately preceding the Scheduled Maturity Date.

(ii) In the event the Company has delivered an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee pursuant to clause (vii) of this Section 3.1(d) in connection with any

-25-

Interest Payment Date, the principal amount of Securities payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be the principal amount set forth in the notice of repayment, if any, accompanying such Officers’ Certificate, such principal amount of Securities shall be repaid on such Interest Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.3, and the remaining Securities shall remain Outstanding and shall be payable on the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date or such earlier date on which they are redeemed pursuant to Article XI or shall become due and payable pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Indenture. The entire principal amount of the Securities outstanding shall be due and payable on any Interest Payment Date in the event the Company does not deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee on or prior to the 10^thBusiness Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

(iii) The principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all outstanding Securities shall be due and payable on February 12, 2067, or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day (the “Final Stated Maturity Date”).

(iv) The obligation of the Company to repay the Securities pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) on any date prior to the Final Stated Maturity Date shall be subject to (A) any obligations under Section 13.2 of the Indenture to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and (B) its obligations under Section 3.2(d) with respect to the payment of Deferred Interest on the Securities.

(v) Until the Securities are paid in full, the Company shall use “commercially reasonable efforts” (as defined in clause (vi) below) subject to a Market Disruption Event and subject to the Company’s right to redeem Securities pursuant to Article XI:

(A) to raise sufficient net proceeds from the issuance of Specified Securities during a 180-day period ending on the date, not more than 15 and not less than 10 Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, on which the Company delivers the notice required by Section 3.3 to permit repayment of the Securities in full on the Scheduled Maturity Date pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 3.1(d); and

(B) if the Company is unable for any reason to raise sufficient proceeds from the issuance of Specified Securities to permit payment in full on the Scheduled Maturity Date or any subsequent Interest Payment Date, on which the Company delivers the notice required by Section 3.3, to raise sufficient net proceeds from the issuance of Specified Securities to permit repayment of the Securities in full on such date pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 3.1(d); and

the Company shall apply any such net proceeds to the repayment of the Securities as provided in clause (viii) of this Section 3.1(d).

-26-

(vi) For purposes of this Section 3.1(d), “commercially reasonable efforts” to sell Specified Securities means commercially reasonable efforts to complete the offer and sale of Specified Securities to Persons other than Subsidiaries in public offerings or private placements. The Company shall not be considered to have made commercially reasonable efforts to effect a sale of Specified Securities if it determines not to pursue or complete such sale due to pricing, coupon, dividend rate or dilution considerations.

(vii) The Company shall, if it has not raised sufficient net proceeds from the issuance of Specified Securities pursuant to clause (v) above in connection with any Repayment Date, deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee (which the Trustee will promptly forward upon receipt to the ABC Trustee, who shall forward such certificate to the holder of ABC Trust Securities, and to any Holders other than the ABC Trust) no more than 15 and no less than 10 Business Days in advance of such Repayment Date stating the amount of net proceeds, if any, raised pursuant to clause (v) above in connection with such Repayment Date. The Company shall be excused from its obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell Specified Securities pursuant to clause (v) above if such Officers’ Certificate further certifies that: (A) a Market Disruption Event was existing during the entire Interest Period; or (B) the Company was unable after using commercially reasonable efforts to raise sufficient net proceeds during the applicable Interest Period to permit repayment of the Securities on the applicable required Repayment Date. Each Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to this clause (vii), unless no principal amount of Securities is to be repaid on the applicable Repayment Date, shall be accompanied by a notice of repayment pursuant to Section 3.3(c) setting forth the principal amount of the Securities to be repaid on such Repayment Date, which amount shall be determined after giving effect to clause (viii) of this Section 3.1(d).

(viii) Net proceeds of the issuance of any Specified Securities that the Company is permitted to apply to repayment of the Securities on any Repayment Date will be applied, first, to pay Deferred Interest, second, to pay current interest to the extent not paid from other sources and, third, to repay the principal of Securities, subject to a minimum principal amount of $5.0 million (or, if less than $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of Securities remain outstanding, the remaining aggregate outstanding principal amount thereafter) to be repaid on the Scheduled Maturity Date or any Interest Payment Date; provided that if the Company is obligated to sell Specified Securities and apply the net proceeds to payments of principal of or interest on any outstanding securities in addition to the Securities, then on any date and for any period the amount of net proceeds received by the Company from those sales and available for such payments shall be applied to the Securities and those other securities having the same Scheduled Maturity Date as the Securities pro rata in accordance with their respective outstanding principal amounts and none of such net proceeds shall be applied to

-27-

any other securities having a later scheduled maturity date until the principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities has been paid in full.

(ix) For purposes of the Company’s obligation to repay the Securities on the Scheduled Maturity Date and thereafter as described in this Section 3.1(d), “Specified Securities” means securities (other than the Securities, Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock) that, in the determination of the Company’s Board of Directors reasonably construing the terms of the Indenture, satisfy one of the following criteria:

(A) preferred stock issued by the Company that (i) has no maturity or a maturity of at least 60 years, (ii) is accompanied by a public statement, either in the prospectus or other offering document under which such securities were initially offered for sale or in filings with the Commission made by the issuer under the Exchange Act prior to or contemporaneously with the issuance of such securities (“Intent-Based Replacement Disclosure”), that the issuer will redeem or repurchase such securities only with the proceeds of specified replacement capital securities that have terms and provisions at the time of redemption or repurchase that are as or more equity-like than the securities then being redeemed or repurchased, raised within 180 days prior to the applicable redemption or repurchase date and (iii) includes a provision in the terms thereof or of the related transaction agreements to the effect that the issuer of such securities may, in its sole discretion, defer or skip in whole or in part payment of distributions on such securities for one or more consecutive distribution periods of up to ten years without any remedy other than Permitted Remedies (an “Optional Deferral Provision”);

(B) preferred stock issued by the Company that (i) has no maturity or a maturity of at least 60 years and (ii) is non-cumulative (“Non-Cumulative”) such that the Company may elect not to make any number of periodic distributions without any remedy arising under the terms of the securities or related agreements in favor of the holders, other than one or more of the following remedies (“Permitted Remedies”): (A) rights in favor of the holders of such securities permitting such holders to elect one or more directors of the Company (including any such rights required by the listing requirements of any stock or securities exchange on which such securities may be listed or traded); and (B) complete or partial prohibitions on the Company paying distributions on or repurchasing Common Stock or other securities that rank pari passu with or junior as to distributions to such securities for so long as distributions on such securities, including unpaid distributions, remain unpaid;

(C) securities issued by the Company or its Subsidiaries that (i) rank pari passu with or junior to the Securities upon a liquidation,

-28-

dissolution or winding up of the Company, (ii) have no maturity or a maturity of at least 60 years, (iii) are accompanied by Intent-Based Replacement Disclosure and (iv) includes an Optional Deferral Provision;

(D) any other criteria for classes of Specified Securities added by the Company, in its sole discretion, to the Indenture from time to time in connection with its entering into a covenant for the benefit of holders of indebtedness of the Company (senior to the Securities in liquidation) restricting the circumstances under which the Company or its Subsidiaries can redeem or defease the Securities or purchase the Securities, the ABC Trust Securities or the Pass-Through Trust Securities.

The Company may, in its sole discretion, add additional types of securities to the definition of Specified Securities pursuant to the final clause of paragraph (D) above, whether in connection with the issuance of the Securities or at any time while the Securities are outstanding, without the consent of any holder of the Securities, ABC Trust Securities or Pass-Through Trust Securities. If the Company adds additional types of securities to the definition of Specified Securities in this manner, it subsequently may remove or modify the descriptions of these types of securities without the consent of any Holder of the Securities, or any holder of ABC Trust Securities or Pass-Through Trust Securities, provided that in no circumstances may the Company eliminate securities of the type described in paragraphs (A)-(C) above without the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities.

SECTION 3.2. Interest.

(a) Rate of Interest. Each Security shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate means:

(i) with respect to any Interest Period ending on or prior to February 15, 2017 (the “6-Month LIBOR Period”) the sum of (x) an amount equal to 6-Month LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period applied to the average daily aggregate principal balance of Securities outstanding during such Interest Period, on an Actual/360 Basis, plus (y) an amount equal to 1.155% per annum applied to the average daily aggregate principal balance of the Securities outstanding during such Interest Period, on a 30/360 Basis; and (ii) with respect to any Interest Period commencing on or after February 15, 2017 (the “3-Month LIBOR Period”) the sum of (x) an amount equal to 3-Month LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period applied to the average daily aggregate principal balance of Securities outstanding during such Interest Period, on an Actual/360 Basis, plus (y) an amount equal to 2.125% per annum applied to the average daily aggregate principal balance of the Securities outstanding during such Interest Period, on an Actual/360 Basis. The date from which such interest shall accrue is the date the Securities are issued; and the Interest Payment Dates on which such interest shall be payable are February 15 and August 15 during the 6-Month LIBOR Period, and February 15,

-29-

May 15, August 15 and November 15 during the 3-Month LIBOR Period. The first Interest Payment Date for any Security shall be the first to occur of such dates after the date such Security is issued. Interest payments not paid when due will themselves accrue Additional Interest at the Applicable Rate on the amount of unpaid interest, to the extent permitted by law, compounded semi-annually during the 6-Month LIBOR Period and quarterly during the 3-Month LIBOR Period. The amount of interest accruing will be computed by multiplying the applicable 6-Month LIBOR or 3-Month LIBOR by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the actual number of days elapsed during such period and the denominator of which will be 360. The Premium Calculation Agent shall obtain 6-Month LIBOR or 3-Month LIBOR, as applicable, from the Asset Swap Counterparty; provided, however, that if the Asset Swap Counterparty does not provide 6-Month LIBOR or 3-Month LIBOR, within a reasonable period of time, the Premium Calculation Agent shall make such determination.

(b) To Whom Interest Payable. Interest will be payable to the Person in whose name the Securities are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding the Interest Payment Date, except that, interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid.

(i) The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time prior to the Final Stated Maturity Date of the Securities, to defer the payment of interest thereon for one or more Optional Deferral Periods for no more than five consecutive years without becoming subject to the obligations provided for in paragraph (d) of this Section 3.2. The Company shall also have the right, at any time and from time to time prior to the Final Stated Maturity Date of the Securities, to defer payment of interest thereon for one or more Optional Deferral Periods for no more than ten consecutive years, without giving rise to an Event of Default and acceleration hereunder. During an Optional Deferral Period, any Deferred Interest on the Securities will accrue Additional Interest at the interest rate applicable to the Securities at such time compounded as of each Interest Payment Date to the extent permitted by applicable law. No interest will be due and payable on the Securities until the end of the Optional Deferral Period except upon a redemption of the Securities during an Optional Deferral Period or upon the payment of current interest (but only to the extent required by Section this 3.2(c)). The Company may elect to so defer payment of interest by delivering to the Trustee written notice of such election at least ten Business Days and not more than 60 Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date and the Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Optional Deferral Period shall extend beyond the Final Stated Maturity Date of the Securities or, if earlier, the redemption or repayment in full of the Securities.

-30-

(ii) During any Optional Deferral Period, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary of the Company to:

(A) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s capital stock, other than (1) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the Company in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants, in connection with a dividend reinvestment or shareholder stock purchase plan or in connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or exercisable for such stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable Optional Deferral Period, (2) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock (or any capital stock of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company’s capital stock or of any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of its capital stock, (3) the purchase of or payment of cash in lieu of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock in accordance with the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (4) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation or amendment of any Company shareholders’ rights plan (or any successor thereto), or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any such rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights in accordance with any Company shareholders’ rights plan (or any successor thereto), and (5) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock; or

(B) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any Pari Passu Securities or debt securities or guarantees of the Company that rank upon the Company’s liquidation junior to the Securities, other than any payment of current interest on Pari Passu Securities that is made pro rata to the amounts of current interest due on such Pari Passu Securities and the Securities and any payment of deferred interest on Pari Passu Securities that is made pro rata to the amount of deferred interest accrued and unpaid on the Pari Passu Securities and the Securities.

(iii) Upon the payment of all Deferred Interest then due on the Securities, the Company may elect to begin a new Optional Deferral Period, which shall not extend beyond the Final Stated Maturity Date or, if earlier, the

-31-

redemption or repayment in full of the Securities. After a Tenth Deferral Anniversary, the Company shall pay all Deferred Interest on the Securities that has not been cancelled to the extent permitted by applicable law, to the Persons in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to the Interest Payment Date for such Tenth Deferral Anniversary.

(iv) In the case of any Optional Deferral Period that does not terminate on or prior to the first anniversary of the commencement of such Optional Deferral Period, the restrictions set forth in Section 3.2(c)(ii) shall continue in effect in respect of any redemption, purchase or repurchase of the Company’s securities that rank pari passu with or junior in interest to the Securities upon our liquidation until the first anniversary of the termination of such Optional Deferral Period.

(v) The Company may pay current interest on any Interest Payment Date (including an Interest Payment Date that occurs after commencement of an Optional Deferral Period) from any source of funds. Except as provided below in paragraph (d), the Company shall not pay Deferred Interest from any source of funds other than Eligible Equity Proceeds.

(d) Payment of Deferred Interest.

The Company will not pay Deferred Interest on the Securities on any Interest Payment Date during any Optional Deferral Period from any source other than from Eligible Equity Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Final Stated Maturity Date or upon an Event of Default and acceleration hereunder, the Company may pay unpaid accrued interest without regard to the source of funds.

(i) Commencing on the earlier of (A) the Fifth Deferral Anniversary and (B) the first date of any payment of current interest on the Securities during an Optional Deferral Period, if any Deferred Interest is outstanding, the Company shall continuously use its “commercially reasonable efforts” (as defined in clause (viii) below) to effect sales of shares of Common Stock in an amount that will generate sufficient net Eligible Equity Proceeds to enable the Company to pay in full all Deferred Interest on the Securities then outstanding. Notwithstanding (and as a qualification to) the foregoing or any other provision of this Indenture, (x) the Company shall not be obligated to make offers for or effect sales of Common Stock during the occurrence and continuation of a Market Disruption Event, and (y) the Company shall not pay interest on the Securities at a time when such payment would violate a specific prohibition against payment of interest contained in the terms of any Pari Passu Securities or securities ranking senior to the Securities upon a liquidation of the Company. The Company’s obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to sell Common Stock to pay all

-32-

Deferred Interest on the Securities shall resume at such time as no Market Disruption Event exists or is continuing.

(ii) The Company is not permitted to sell shares of Common Stock in excess of the “Shares Available for Issuance”, determined pursuant to this sub-paragraph (ii), for the purpose of satisfying the Company’s obligations under Section 3.2(d)(i) or otherwise paying Deferred Interest on the Securities then outstanding. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek shareholder consent to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock if, on any Interest Payment Date, its Shares Available for Issuance fall below the greater of (i) 65 million shares (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction); and (ii) the number of shares that the Company would need to issue to raise sufficient net proceeds (assuming a price per share equal to the average trading price of its shares over the ten day trading period preceding the date of determination) equal to the lesser of (a) the sum of (1) three times the amount of the then outstanding Deferred Interest on the Securities plus (2) the amount of additional interest that would accumulate on the Securities during the next twelve months assuming no payments of interest are made, or (b) the amount of interest that would accumulate on the Securities during the period ended on the tenth anniversary of the commencement of the then-current Optional Deferral Period given the amounts already deferred as of that date, in each of cases (a) and (b) assuming that interest payable in the future at a floating rate will be computed utilizing a rate equal to (1) current fixed rate equivalents for the applicable period (as reasonably determined by the Company based on market quotations) plus (2) 415 basis points prior to February 15, 2017 and 515 basis points thereafter. The “Shares Available for Issuance” will be calculated in two steps: (i) the Company will deduct from the number of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, the maximum number of shares of its Common Stock that can be issued under existing options, warrants, convertible securities, any equity-linked contracts and other agreements which require the Company to issue a determinable number of shares, and (ii) after the Company deducts that number of shares of Common Stock from the number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, the Company will allocate on a pro rata basis or such other basis as it determines is appropriate, the remaining authorized and unissued shares to the Alternative Payment Mechanism and to any other similar commitment that is of an indeterminate nature and under which the Company is then required to issue shares of its common stock. If the number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock remaining after the two steps described above is not sufficient to satisfy the remaining commitments, the Company will be obligated to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to seek shareholder consent to increase the number of authorized and unissued shares of its Common Stock as described above. The Company may modify the definition of “Shares Available for Issuance” and related provisions in this Section 3.2(d)(ii) without the consent of Holders provided that (i) the Company has determined, in good faith, that such

-33-

modification is not materially adverse to the Holders, (ii) the rating agencies then rating the Securities confirm the then current ratings of the Securities and (iii) the number of shares available for issuance after giving effect to such modification will not fall below the then applicable Shares Available for Issuance.

(iii) If the Company elects to satisfy its obligation to pay Deferred Interest pursuant to the Alternative Payment Mechanism by issuing Qualified Warrants, it may only do so if the total number of shares of its Common Stock underlying such Qualified Warrants applied to pay interest on the Securities pursuant to the Alternative Payment Mechanism, together with the total number of shares of its Common Stock underlying all prior issuances of Qualified Warrants so applied, does not exceed an amount equal to 15% of the total number of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of any proposed issuance.

(iv) Following the earlier of (A) the Fifth Deferral Anniversary and (B) the first date of any payment of current interest during an Optional Deferral Period, the Company shall apply the net proceeds received by it from sales of Eligible Equity to the payment of all amounts owing in respect of Deferred Interest with net proceeds to be paid promptly after receipt until all amounts owing in respect of Deferred Interest have been paid in full; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to sell Common Stock or apply the proceeds of sales thereof to payment of Deferred Interest if a Market Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing. In the event that net proceeds received by the Company from one or more sales of Eligible Equity following the earlier of (x) such Fifth Deferral Anniversary and (y) the date of any payment of current interest during an Optional Deferral Period are not sufficient to satisfy the full amount of Deferred Interest, such net proceeds will be paid to the holders of the Securities on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that, if the Company has outstanding at such time any Pari Passu Securities under the terms of which the Company is obligated (I) to sell shares of Common Stock and apply the net proceeds to payment of Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) or (II) to apply the proceeds of any Eligible Equity to payment of Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon), then on any date and for any period the amount of net proceeds received by the Company from such sales of Eligible Equity and available for payment of Deferred Interest shall be applied to the Securities and such Pari Passu Securities on a pro rata basis, based on the total amount then due and taking into account any net proceeds from the sales of securities other than Eligible Equity that would be permitted to be applied to the payment of Deferred Interest (including additional interest thereon) on any such Pari Passu Securities but not on the Securities except and to the extent the terms of any such Pari Passu Securities would prohibit the Company from doing so. Notwithstanding the above, the Company shall not be obligated to sell Eligible Equity or to apply such net proceeds or any portion thereof to the payment of

-34-

Deferred Interest during the occurrence and continuation of Market Disruption Event.

(v) If on any date or for any period the Company pays interest on any class of Pari Passu Securities in an amount that is less than the full amount of accrued but unpaid interest, the Company shall make payments on all outstanding classes of Pari Passu Securities on the same date or for the corresponding period on a pro rata basis (based on the total amount then due), except and to the extent the terms of such Pari Passu Securities will prohibit the Company from doing so.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, under no circumstances will the Company be obligated to sell shares of Qualified Warrants or to apply the proceeds of any such sale to pay Deferred Interest on the Securities.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Indenture, the Company will not be obligated to issue Common Stock prior to the Fifth Deferral Anniversary if the gross proceeds of any issuance of Eligible Equity applied to pay Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on the Securities pursuant to this Section 3.2(d), together with the gross proceeds of all prior issuances of Eligible Equity applied since the commencement of the Optional Deferral Period, would exceed an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the average of the Current Stock Market Prices of the Company’s Common Stock on the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the fourth trading day immediately preceding the date of issuance by the Company of Eligible Equity applied to pay Deferred Interest (including Additional Interest thereon) on the Securities pursuant to this Section 3.2.(d) and (B) the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of the date of the Company’s most recent publicly available consolidated financial statements (the “APM Maximum Obligation”). Once the Company reaches the APM Maximum Obligation for an Optional Deferral Period, the Company will not be obligated to issue more Eligible Equity pursuant to this Section 3.2(d) prior to the Fifth Deferral Anniversary even if the Current Stock Market Price of the Company’s Common Stock or the number of outstanding shares of its Common Stock subsequently increase. The APM Maximum Obligation will cease to apply following the Fifth Deferral Anniversary, at which point the Company must repay all Deferred Interest, regardless of the time at which it was deferred, using proceeds from sales of Eligible Equity, subject to any Market Disruption Event, and the Shares Available for Issuance. If the APM Maximum Obligation has been reached during an Optional Deferral Period and the Company subsequently repays all Deferred Interest, the APM Maximum Obligation will cease to apply at the termination of such Optional Deferral Period and will not apply again unless and until the Company starts a new Optional Deferral Period.

-35-

(viii) For purposes of this Section 3.2(d), “commercially reasonable efforts” means, in connection with an attempted sale by the Company of shares of Common Stock, including treasury shares, pursuant to the Alternative Payment Mechanism, commercially reasonable efforts on the part of the Company to complete the sale of Common Stock, including treasury shares, to third parties that are not Subsidiaries of the Company in public offerings or private placements; provided that the Company will be deemed to have made such commercially reasonable efforts for so long as the Company is prevented from selling shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Alternative Payment Mechanism because the Company did not have Shares Available for Issuance, regardless of whether the Company makes any offers or sales during such Market Disruption Event. The Company will not be considered to have used its commercially reasonable efforts to effect a sale of Common Stock if it determines not to pursue or complete such sale solely due to pricing, coupon, dividend rate or dilution considerations.

(e) Payment of Interest; Defaulted Interest. Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not timely paid or duly provided for, and is not otherwise deferred by the Company pursuant to an Optional Deferral Period as described in this Section, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities (herein called “Defaulted Interest”), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities in respect of which interest is in default (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special

-36-

Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in a newspaper, customarily published in the English language on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

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

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

(f) Notices of Market Disruption Events. If during an Optional Deferral Period a Market Disruption Event has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall give, as promptly as possible after the Company becomes aware of such occurrence, a written notice to the Trustee, stating the date on which such Market Disruption Event has occurred, the nature thereof and what action it will take in connection therewith.

(g) Limitation on Claims in the Event of Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Receivership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, each Holder of a Security, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees that upon any payment or distribution of assets to creditors of the Company upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding up, reorganization, or in connection with any insolvency, receivership or proceeding under any bankruptcy law (a “Bankruptcy Event”) with respect to the Company, whether voluntary or not, prior to the Maturity, redemption or repayment of the Securities, such Holder shall have no claim for, and no right to receive, deferred and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest thereon) that has not been settled through the application of the Alternative Payment Mechanism to the extent that the aggregate amount thereof exceeds 25% of the original principal amount of such Security.

SECTION 3.3. Repayment of Securities.

(a) Repayment. The Company shall, not more than 15 nor less than 10 Business Days prior to each Repayment Date (unless a shorter notice shall be

-37-

satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of the principal amount of Securities to be repaid on such date pursuant to Section 3.1(d).

(b) Selection of Securities to be Repaid. If less than all the Securities are to be repaid on any Repayment Date (unless such repayment affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be repaid shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to such Repayment Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities not previously repaid or called for redemption, by lot or such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Securities, provided that the portion of the principal amount of any Securities not repaid shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Securities.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for partial repayment and the principal amount thereof to be repaid. For all purposes hereof, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the repayment of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities repaid or to be repaid only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be repaid. If the Company shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of the Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in the Securities selected for repayment.

(c) Notice of Repayment. Notice of repayment shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than the 10th day, and not earlier than the 15th day, prior to the Repayment Date, to each Holder of Securities to be repaid, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register.

Each notice of repayment shall identify the Securities to be repaid (including CUSIP number, if a CUSIP number has been assigned to the Securities) and shall state:

(i) the Repayment Date;

(ii) if less than all Outstanding Securities are to be repaid, the identification (and, in the case of partial repayment, the respective principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

(iii) that on the Repayment Date, the principal amount of the Securities to be repaid will become due and payable upon each such Securities or portion thereof, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after said date; and

(iv) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the principal amount thereof.

Notice of repayment shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable.

-38-

The notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Securities designated for repayment as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the repayment of any other Securities.

(d) Deposit of Repayment Amount. Prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Repayment Date specified in the notice of repayment given as provided in Section 3.3(c), the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents (or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company will segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3 of the Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the principal amount of, and any accrued interest (including Additional Interest) on, all the Securities which are to be repaid on that date.

(e) Payment of Securities Subject to Repayment. If any notice of repayment has been given as provided in Section 3.3(c), the Securities or portion of the Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the place or places stated in such notice. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid by the Company at their principal amount, together with accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) to the Repayment Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of the Indenture.

Upon presentation of any Securities repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, new Securities or Securities, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of the Securities not repaid and so presented and having the same original issue date, Stated Maturity and terms. If a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security will also be a new Global Security.

If any Securities called for repayment shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof, the principal of such Securities shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate prescribed therefore in the Securities.

SECTION 3.4. Denominations.

The Securities shall be issued in registered form without coupons and shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples thereof.

-39-

SECTION 3.5. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

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

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

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with an Officer’s Certificate in substantially the form of Annex D hereto for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such Officers’ Certificate shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.

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

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.11, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Minor typographical and other minor errors in the text of any Security shall not affect the validity and enforceability of such Security if it has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

The Depository must, at all times while it serves as the Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable statute or regulation.

-40-

SECTION 3.6. Temporary Securities.

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

If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities, of any authorized denominations having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as such temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

SECTION 3.7. Global Securities.

(a) Each Global Security issued under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depository designated by the Company for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depository or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depository for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (a) such Depository advises the Trustee in writing that such Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depository with respect to such Global Security, and the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor or (b) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that the Company elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository.

(c) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or cancelled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depository or its nominee to the Securities Registrar for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article III. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or cancelled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or

-41-

cancellation as provided in this Article III or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depository or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 3.7(b) and as otherwise provided in this Article III, authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depository. The Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.

(d) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article III, Section 9.6 or Section 11.6 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depository for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

(e) The Depository or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depository or its nominee or its Agent Members. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depository.

(f) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depository and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and the Depository and/or its Agent Members.

SECTION 3.8. Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally, Certain Transfers and Exchanges; Securities Act Legends.

(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. Such register is herein sometimes referred to as the ‘Securities Register.” The Trustee is hereby appointed “Securities Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

-42-

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations, of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

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

At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations, of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

If at any time the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository or if at any time the Depository shall cease to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act as provided in Section 303, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository. If a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities, will authenticate and make available for delivery, individual Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing the Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

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

The Depository may surrender a Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and

-43-

such Depository. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, without service charge:

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

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

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for individual Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Individual Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall make available for delivery such individual Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

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

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

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

Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section, (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any Securities selected for redemption pursuant to Article XI and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of notice of redemption or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.

-44-

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests in a Global Security of the kinds specified in this Section 3.8(b) shall be made only in accordance with this Section 3.8(b).

(i) NON-GLOBAL SECURITY TO GLOBAL SECURITY. If the Holder of a Security (other than a Global Security) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Security, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(i) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Securities Registrar of (A) such Security as provided in Section 3.8(a) and instructions satisfactory to the Securities Registrar directing that a beneficial interest in the Global Security in a specified principal amount not greater than the principal amount of such Security be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account and (B) if the Security to be transferred is a Restricted Security, a Restricted Securities Certificate duly executed by such Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, then the Securities Registrar shall cancel such Security (and issue a new Security in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 3.6(a) and increase the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security by the specified principal amount as provided in Section 3.7(c).

(ii) NON-GLOBAL SECURITY TO NON-GLOBAL SECURITY. A Security that is not a Global Security may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of another Security that is not a Global Security as provided in Section 3.8(a), provided that if the Security to be transferred in whole or in part is a Restricted Security, then the Securities Registrar shall have received a Restricted Securities Certificate duly executed by the transferor Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(iii) EXCHANGES BETWEEN GLOBAL SECURITY AND NON-GLOBAL SECURITY. A beneficial interest in a Global Security may be exchanged for a Security that is not a Global Security as provided in Section 3.7.

(i) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.8(c), a Security or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend;

(ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.8(c), a new Security which is not a Global Security and is issued in exchange for another Security (including a Global Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend;

-45-

(iii) after the date which is three years following the Original Issue Date of a Security, a new Security (other than a Global Security) which does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend shall, unless the Securities Registrar is otherwise instructed by the Company in writing, be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Restricted Security or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if the Trustee has received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate, duly executed by the Holder of such legended Restricted Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other Security as provided in this Article III;

(iv) a new Security which does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Restricted Security or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if, in the Company’s judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not necessary to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security as provided in this Article III;

(v) notwithstanding the foregoing Clauses of this Section 3.8(c), a Successor Security of a Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend shall not bear such form of legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Security is a “restricted security” within the meaning of Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the written direction of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, shall authenticate and deliver a new Security bearing a Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this Article III; and

(vi) Securities distributed to a holder of ABC Trust Securities upon dissolution of the ABC Trust shall bear a Restricted Securities Legend if such ABC Trust Securities bear a similar legend.

SECTION 3.9. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same issue and series, of like tenor and principal amount, having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and bearing the same Applicable Rate as such mutilated Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such

-46-

Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same issue and series of like tenor and principal amount, having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and bearing the same Applicable Rate as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 3.10. Persons Deemed Owners.

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 3.2) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depository or impair, as between a Depository and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depository (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security.

-47-

SECTION 3.11. Cancellation.

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

SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers.

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

SECTION 3.13. Premium Calculation Agent.

The Premium Calculation Agent shall be LaSalle Bank National Association or any other firm appointed by the Company or, if the Premium Calculation Agent so appointed is unwilling or unable to calculate the Make-Whole Redemption Amount or Special Event Make-Whole Redemption Amount, or, if required to do so, 6-Month LIBOR or 3-Month LIBOR, an investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company.

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

SECTION 5.1. Events of Default; Security Default.

“Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to the Securities, means any one of the following events that has occurred and is continuing:

(1) default by the Company in the payment of interest, subject to the Company’s right to defer interest payments pursuant to this Indenture, and the failure to cure such default within three Business Days after notice of such default by the Trustee or the Asset Swap Counterparty; or

(2) the Company institutes or has instituted against the Company a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief

-50-

under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or a petition is presented for the winding-up or liquidation of the Company, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against the Company, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment or insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for the winding-up or liquidation of the Company or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or presentation thereof; or

(3) a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at its Maturity.

SECTION 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default described in clause (1) or (3) of Section 5.1 occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the principal amount and accrued interest (including Additional Interest) on the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest (including any Additional Interest) on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable. Payment of principal and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in this Indenture notwithstanding that such amount shall become immediately due and payable as herein provided. If an Event of Default described in clause (2) of Section 5.1 with respect to Securities occurs, the principal amount of and accrued interest on all the Securities shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

(A) all overdue installments of interest (including any Additional Interest) on all the Securities,

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate borne by the Securities, and

-51-

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

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

SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if:

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

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

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest); and, in addition thereto, all amounts owing the Trustee under Section 6.7.

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

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

-52-

(a) the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest)) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) owing and unpaid in respect to the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable and to take any and all actions as are authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have the claims of the Holders and any predecessor to the Trustee under Section 6.7 allowed in any such judicial proceedings; and

(ii) in particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in accordance with Section 5.6; and

(b) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee for distribution in accordance with Section 5.6, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it and any predecessor Trustee under Section 6.7.

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

SECTION 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claim Without Possession of Securities.

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

-53-

SECTION 5.6. Application of Money Collected.

No Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

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

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

SECTION 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

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

SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.9, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

-55-

SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders.

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities, provided that:

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

(3) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow such direction if a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee shall, in good faith, determine that the proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not joining in any such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

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

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

-56-

SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against 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 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security.

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to

-57-

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

(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report. notice, request. direction, consent, order, bond, indenture, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its discretion may make such inquiry or investigation into such

(j) no permissive power or authority available to the Trustee shall be construed as a duty.

SECTION 6.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness.

Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 6.5. May Hold Securities.

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 6.6. Money Held in Trust.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(2) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 or any successor statute.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

SECTION 6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

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

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee shall execute and deliver an instrument in writing or an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee

-63-

shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such instrument in writing or 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 instrument in writing or supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

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

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

SECTION 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated, and in case any Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor Trustee or in the name of such successor Trustee, and in all cases the certificate of authentication shall have the full force which it is provided

-64-

anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

SECTION 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

SECTION 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.9 and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustees certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, or of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.

If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent

-65-

and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provision of this Section.

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

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

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

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

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date that Securities are first issued under this Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate covering the preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder), and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

SECTION 10.5. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision, covenant or condition set forth in any covenant provided with respect to the Securities, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision, covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company in respect of any such term, provision, covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 10.6. Original Issue Discount.

If the Company shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of the Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in the Securities selected for redemption.

SECTION 11.4. Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not later than the 30th day, and not earlier than the 60th day, prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Securities Register.

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.

SECTION 13.2. No Payment When Senior Indebtedness in Default; Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.

In the event that the Company shall default in the payment of any principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of such default to the Company by the holders of Senior Indebtedness or any trustee therefor, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, repayment, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities.

In the event of (a) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceedings relating to the Company, its creditors or its property, (b) any proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving

-79-

insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, (c) any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors or (d) any other marshalling of the assets of the Company (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”), all Senior Indebtedness (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of any of the Securities on account thereof. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article XIII, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise (but for this Article XIII) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities of any series shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Indebtedness (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) shall have been paid in full.

In the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities, together with the holders of any Pari Passu Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities and such other obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Company ranking junior to the Securities and such other obligations.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness in full. In the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Indebtedness is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.

-80-

The Trustee and Holders will take such action (including, without limitation, the delivery of this Indenture to an agent for the holders of Senior Indebtedness or consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect hereto) as may, in the opinion of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of the subordination effected by these provisions.

The provisions of this Section 13.2 shall not impair any rights, interests, remedies or powers of any secured creditor of the Company in respect of any security interest the creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture.

The securing of any obligations of the Company, otherwise ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be deemed to prevent such obligations from constituting, respectively, obligations ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking junior to the Securities.

SECTION 13.3. Payment Permitted If No Default.

Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of the Securities, shall prevent (a) the Company at any time, except during the conditions described in the first paragraph of Section 13.2 or the pendency of any Proceeding referred to in Section 13.2, from making payments at any time of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including Additional Interest) on the Securities, or (b) the application by the Trustee of any monies deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article.

SECTION 13.4. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Indebtedness, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to the Senior Indebtedness and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full.

-81-

Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.

SECTION 13.5. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture including, without limitation, filing and voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.

SECTION 13.6. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

SECTION 13.7. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

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

Without in any way limiting the generality of the immediately preceding paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following:

-82-

(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness: (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.

SECTION 13.8. Notice to Trustee.

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee, agent or representative therefor; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or attorney-in-fact therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or attorney-in-fact therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

-83-

SECTION 13.9. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

SECTION 13.10. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

SECTION 13.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights.

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

SECTION 13.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee.

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

The Company further promises to pay interest on said principal sum from [ ] or from the most recent Interest Payment Date for which interest has been paid or duly provided for. This Security shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate as provided in Section 3.2 of the Indenture. The Interest Payment Dates on which such interest shall be payable are February 15 and August 15 during the 6-Month LIBOR Period, and February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 during the 3-Month LIBOR Period. In the event any Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the interest payable on such day shall be paid on the following Business Day and no interest will accrue as a result of such postponement. Any Deferred Interest or interest otherwise unpaid on the relevant Interest Payment Date shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the rate of interest applicable on this Security at such time, from the relevant Interest Payment Date, compounded as of each Interest Payment Date, until paid in accordance with the Indenture.

The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding the Interest Payment Date.

The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time prior to the Final Stated Maturity Date to defer the payment of interest on this Security as provided in Article III of the Indenture.

The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his

behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

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

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

REVERSE OF SECURITY

This Security is limited in aggregate principal amount of $500,001,000.

All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, as the case may be.

This Security is subject to optional and mandatory redemption as provided in Article XI of the Indenture.

In the event of redemption or repayment of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

The Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness of this Security upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

The Company and the Trustee shall have the right at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures as provided in Article IX of the Indenture.

Article V of the Indenture permits Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, under certain circumstances, to waive compliance of past defaults except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities. Article V of the Indenture also contains provisions permitting Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities to declare the principal amount of all the Securities, and accrued interest thereto, to be due and immediately payable, if specified Events of Default arise.

Each Holder, by such Holder’s acceptance hereof, agrees as provided in Section 3.2(g) of the Indenture, that if a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the Company shall occur prior to the Maturity, redemption or repayment of this Security, such Holder shall have no claim for, and thus no right to receive, any deferred interest that has not been paid out of the proceeds of the issuance of certain securities in accordance with the Indenture to the extent the aggregate amount of such interest exceeds 25% of the original principal amount of such Security.

A-5

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

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

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

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
