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

waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (1) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (2) by the record of such Holders of Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Holders duly called and held, or (3) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Holders; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments and/or such record are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is expressly required, to the Company. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent or proxy shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section 104.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including a Depositary that is a Holder of a Global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted in this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary that is a Holder of a Global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interest in any such Global Security.

If such a record date is fixed, such demand, request, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Registered Holders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite percentage of Securities Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such demand, request, notice, consent, waiver or taking of any other action, and for that purpose the Securities Outstanding shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such demand, request, notice, consent, waiver or taking of any other action by the Holders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the Record Date.

(d) The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security Register or by a certificate of the Person designated by the Company to keep the Security Register and to act as repository in accordance with the provisions of Section 305.

(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the

Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

(f) At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number or other distinguishing symbol of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers or other distinguishing symbols of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security.

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

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

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

Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, (i) if any of the Securities affected by such event are Registered Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any) prescribed for the giving of such notice, and, (ii) if any of the Securities affected by such event are Bearer Securities, notice to the Holders thereof shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein or in the terms of such Bearer Securities expressly provided) if published once in an Authorized Newspaper in New York, New York, and in such other city or cities, if any, as may be specified as contemplated in Section 301.

In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. In any case where notice is given to Holders by publication, neither the failure to publish such notice, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event,

and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture as to the giving of notice, any other form of written notice is sufficient, if received.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give any notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. If it is impossible or, in the opinion of the Trustee, impracticable to give any notice by publication in the manner herein required, then such publication in lieu thereof as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient publication of such notice.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

Section 107. Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors of Company Exempt from Individual Liability.

To the extent permitted by law, no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, or in any Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

Section 108. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be a part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

Section 109. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

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

Section 110. Successors and Assigns.

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

Section 111. Separability Clause.

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

Section 112. Benefits of Indenture.

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

Section 113. Governing Law.

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

Section 114. Legal Holidays.

Section 115. Counterparts.

This Indenture 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.

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

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

(c) such Securities, when issued by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity;

(d) that the issuance of such Securities will not conflict with or result in a breach of the terms or provisions of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, or any indenture, mortgage or other agreement known to such counsel by which the Company is bound;

(f) that the Company has the corporate power to issue such Securities, and has taken all necessary corporate action with respect to such issuance.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken by the Company or if the Trustee in good faith by its board

of directors or board of trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees or Responsible Officers shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or would adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate Securities denominated in a coin or currency other than that of the United States of America if the Trustee reasonably determines that such Securities impose duties or obligations on the Trustee which the Trustee is not able or reasonably willing to accept; provided, however, that the Trustee, upon the request of the Company, will resign as Trustee with respect to Securities of any series as to which such a determination is made, prior to the issuance of such Securities, and will comply with the request of the Company to execute and deliver a supplemental indenture appointing a successor Trustee pursuant to Section 901.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and this Section 303, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel and Company Order otherwise required pursuant to this Section 303 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, shall bear interest, if any, from the date, and shall be payable on the dates, in each case, which shall be specified as contemplated in Section 301.

Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 304. Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the Company may execute, and upon a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities for such series printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced. Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable, with or without coupons, in any authorized denomination, and substantially of the tenor or form of the definitive Securities of such series in lieu of which they are issued but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive

Securities in lieu of which they are issued. Without unreasonable delay the Company shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered (together with any unmatured Coupons) in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose pursuant to Section 1002, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations having the same interest rate, Maturity and redemption and repayment provisions and bearing interest from the same date as such temporary Securities; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided, further, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security unless the Trustee shall have received from the Person entitled to receive the definitive Bearer Security a certificate substantially in the form approved in the Board Resolutions relating thereto and such delivery shall occur only outside the United States of America. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Company will keep, either at the office or agency designated and maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in accordance with the provisions of Section 1002, or at any of such other offices or agencies as may be designated and maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 1002, a register or registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will register, and will register the transfer of, Registered Securities of a series. Each such register is sometimes herein referred to as a “Security Register”. Each Security Register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all normal business hours such Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and any Security Registrar.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 1002, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series and of like tenor in any authorized denomination for a like aggregate principal amount and having the same interest rate, Maturity, repayment and redemption provisions.

Bearer Securities (except for any temporary global Bearer Securities) or any Coupons appertaining thereto (except for Coupons attached to any temporary global Bearer Security) shall be transferable by delivery.

At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series and of like tenor in other authorized denominations, in an equal aggregate principal amount and having the same interest rate, Maturity, repayment and redemption provisions. Registered Securities of any series to be exchanged shall be surrendered at any office or agency to be maintained by the Company for the purpose as provided in Section 1002, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange therefor the Registered Securities of the same series and having the same interest rate and Maturity which the Holder making the exchange shall be

entitled to receive, bearing numbers or other distinguishing symbols not contemporaneously outstanding. Each Person designated by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 1002 as a Person authorized to register and register transfer of the Registered Security is sometimes herein referred to as a “Security Registrar”.

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated in Section 301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of such series may be exchanged for Registered Securities (if the Securities of such series are issuable in registered form) or Bearer Securities (if Bearer Securities of such series are issuable in more than one denomination and such exchanges are permitted by such series) of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or matured Coupon in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon, or the surrender of such missing Coupon may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States of America. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case any Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered Security of the same series after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as the case may be (or, if such Coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such Coupon shall be returned to the Person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon, when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

The Company will at all times designate one Person (who may be the Company and who need not be a Security Registrar) to act as repository of a master list of names and addresses of the Holders of the Registered Securities. The Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee shall act as such repository unless and until some other Person is, by written notice from the Company to such office or agency and each Security Registrar, designated by the Company to act as such. The Company shall cause each Security Registrar to furnish to such repository, on a current basis, such information as to all registrations of transfer and exchanges effected by such Security Registrar, as may be necessary to enable such repository to maintain the master list of Registered Holders on as current a basis as is practicable.

No Person shall at any time be designated as or act as a Security Registrar unless such Person is at such time empowered under applicable law to act as such and duly registered to act as such under and to the extent required by applicable law and regulations.

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

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

The Company shall not be required (1) to exchange or register a transfer of any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days next preceding the selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed, (2) to exchange or register a transfer of any Registered Securities selected, called or being called for redemption or surrendered for repayment in whole or in part except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed or repaid in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed or repaid, or (3) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption, except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and like tenor; provided, however, that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as otherwise specified or contemplated in Section 301, no Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to this Section 305 or Sections 304, 906, and 1107 for the Securities of, and no transfer of a Global Security of any series may be registered to, any Person other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee unless (1) such Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (2) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable and the transfer thereof so registerable, or (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, or an event which after notice or lapse of time would be an Event of Default, with respect to the Securities evidenced by such Global Security. Upon the occurrence in respect of any Global Security of any series of any one or more of the conditions specified in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of the preceding sentence or such other conditions as may be specified as contemplated in Section 301 for such series, such as that the Securities of such series may be exchanged for Bearer Securities, such Global Security may be exchanged for Registered Securities in the names of, and the transfer of such Global Security may be registered to, such Persons (including Persons other than the Depositary with respect to such series and its nominees), as such Depositary shall direct. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any Global Security shall also be a Global Security and shall bear the legend specified in Section 203 except for any Security authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or upon registration of transfer of, a Global Security pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Section 306. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

In case any temporary or definitive Security or Coupon shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company may in its discretion execute, and the Trustee, upon a Company Request, shall authenticate and deliver, a new Registered Security, if such surrendered Security was a Registered Security, or a new Bearer Security with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons appertaining to the surrendered Security, if such surrendered Security was a Bearer Security, which shall be of the same series and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee (and any agent of the Company or Trustee, if requested by the Company) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security, or of such Coupon appurtenant thereto, and of the ownership thereof.

Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, 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.

In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may instead of issuing a substitute Security pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee (and any agent of the Company or the Trustee, if requested by the Company or the Trustee) such security or indemnity as any of them may require to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

Every substituted Security (and every appurtenant Coupon, if any) of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an 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 (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Except as otherwise specified for a particular series pursuant to Section 301, interest on any Registered Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Registered Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered in the Security Register at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest either (i) by check mailed to the address of such Person as referenced in the Security Register or (ii) by wire transfer to an account designated by such Person pursuant to an arrangement that is satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee. Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or the Paying Agent the aggregate amount of interest in immediately available funds by 10:00 A.M. New York City time on the Interest Payment Date. The Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any loss resulting from a failure of the federal funds wire system or any other occurrence beyond its control in connection with wire transfers made pursuant to this Section 307.

Except as otherwise specified for a particular series pursuant to Section 301, (i) interest on any Bearer Securities shall be paid only against presentation and surrender of the Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they mature and (ii) the accreted amount, if any, with respect to Bearer Securities which constitute Original Issue Discount Securities shall be paid only against presentation and surrender of such Securities; in either case at the office of a Paying Agent located outside the United States of America, unless the Company shall have otherwise instructed the Trustee in writing, provided that the Company furnishes the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel stating that any such instruction for payment in the United States of America does not cause any Bearer Security to be treated as a “registration-required obligation” under United States laws and regulations. The interest on any temporary Bearer Security shall be paid, as to any installment of interest evidenced by a Coupon attached thereto, only upon presentation and surrender of such Coupon and, as to other installments of interest, only upon presentation of such Security for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. If at the time a payment of principal of or interest on a Bearer Security or Coupon shall become due, the payment of the full amount so payable at the office or offices of all the Paying Agents outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded because of the imposition of exchange controls or other similar restrictions on the payment of such amount in United States dollars, then the Company may instruct the Trustee in writing to make such payments at a Paying Agent located in the United States of America, provided that the Company furnishes the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel stating that provision for such payment in the United States of America would not cause such Bearer Security to be treated as a “registration-required obligation” under United States laws and regulations.

Any interest on any Registered Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant 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 Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a special record date (“Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be

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

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

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered in the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, any premium or interest on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer Security or Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account

thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bearer Security or Coupon 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.

All payments so made to any such Person or bearer, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Security.

Section 309. Cancellation.

All Securities and Coupons surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Company, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent or any other agent of the Company or any agent of the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee and promptly canceled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be promptly canceled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy canceled Securities and Coupons held by it and, in the case of canceled Securities, deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 310. Computation of Interest.

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

Section 311. Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of Securities.

(a) Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, with respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, and with respect to Bearer Securities of any series, except as provided in paragraph (d) below, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on any Registered or Bearer Security of such series will be made in the Currency in which such Registered Security or Bearer Security, as the case may be, is payable. The provisions of this Section 311 may be modified or superseded with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301.

(b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, to receive payments of principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on such Registered Securities in any Currency which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities a written election with signature guarantees and in the applicable form established pursuant to Section 301, not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the applicable payment date. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in any such Currency, such election will remain in effect for such Holder or any transferee of such Holder until changed by such

Holder or such transferee by written notice to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities (but any such change must be made not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the net payment date to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such change of election made be made with respect to payments to be made on any Registered Security of such series with respect to which (i) an Event of Default has occurred, (ii) the Company has deposited funds pursuant to Articles Four or Fourteen, (iii) a notice of redemption has been given by the Company or (iv) a notice of option to elect repayment has been given by such Holder or such transferee). Any Holder of any such Registered Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Trustee of such series of Registered Securities not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant Currency as provided in subsection (a) above. The Trustee for each such series of Registered Securities shall notify the Exchange Rate Agent as soon as practicable, but not later than two Business Days after the Election Date of the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities for which Holders have made such written election.

(c) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 301, then, not later than the fourth Business Day after the Election Date for each payment date for Registered Securities of any series, the Exchange Rate Agent will deliver to the Company a written notice specifying, in the Currency in which Registered Securities of such series are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the Registered Securities to be paid on such payment date, specifying the amounts in such Currency so payable in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Registered Securities denominated in any Currency shall have elected to be paid in another currency as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 301 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, on the second Business Date preceding such payment date the Company will deliver to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities an Exchange Rate Officer’s Certificate in respect of the Dollar or Foreign Currency payments to be made on such payment date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the Dollar or Foreign Currency amount receivable by Holders of registered Securities who have elected payment in a Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the third Business Day (the “Valuation Date”) immediately preceding each payment date, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Currency in which any of the Securities are denominated or payable other than pursuant to an election provided for pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on the applicable Securities denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency occurring after the last date on which such Foreign Currency was used (the “Conversion Date”), the Dollar shall be the Currency of payment for use on each such payment date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Holders of such Securities with respect to such payment date shall be, in the case of a Foreign Currency other than a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the

case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, in each case as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent in the manner provided in paragraph (f) or (g) below.

(e) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the Holder of a Registered Security denominated in any Currency shall have elected to be paid in another Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above, and a Conversion Event occurs with respect to such elected Currency, such Holder shall receive payment in the Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence of such election; and if a Conversion Event occurs with respect to the Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence of such election, such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars as provided in subsection (d) above.

(f) The “Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency” shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and shall be obtained for each subsequent payment date by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Conversion Date.

(g) The “Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit” shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and subject to the provisions of paragraph (h) below shall be the sum of each amount obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate for such Component Currency on the Valuation Date with respect to each payment.

(h) For purposes of this Section 311 the following terms shall have the following meanings:

A “Component Currency” shall mean any Currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU.

A “Specified Amount” of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units of such Component Currency or fractions thereof which were represented in the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU, on the Conversion Date. If after the Conversion Date the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency of the relevant currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If after the Conversion Date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single Currency, the respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single Currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single Currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single Currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency. If after the Conversion Date any Component Currency shall be divided into two or more Currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be replaced by amounts of such two or more Currencies, having an aggregate dollar Equivalent Value at the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such replacement equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Specified Amount of such former Component Currency at the Market Exchange Rate immediately before such division and such amounts shall thereafter be Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Component Currencies. If, after the Conversion Date of the relevant currency unit, including, but

not limited to, the ECU, a Conversion Event (other than any event referred to above in this definition of “Specified Amount”) occurs with respect to any Component Currency of such currency unit and is continuing on the applicable Valuation Date, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall, for purposes of calculation the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, be converted into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate in effect on the Conversion Date of such Component Currency.

“Election Date” shall mean the date for any series of Registered Securities as specified pursuant to Section 301(11) by which the written election referred to in subsection (b) above may be made.

All decisions and determinations by the Exchange Rate Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, the Market Exchange Rate and changes in the Specified Amounts as specified above shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities and all Holders of such Securities denominated or payable in the relevant Currency. The Exchange Rate Agent shall promptly give written notice to the Company and the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities of any such decision or determination.

In the event that the Company determines in good faith that a Conversion Event has occurred with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Company will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 106 to the affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date. In the event the Company so determines that a Conversion Event has occurred with respect to the ECU or any other currency unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, the Company will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 106 to the affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date and the Specified Amount of each Component Currency on the Conversion Date. In the event the Company determines in good faith that any subsequent change in any Component Currency as set forth in the Company will similarly give written notice to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent.

The Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information received by it from the Company and the Exchange Rate Agent and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determined the accuracy or validity of such information independent of the Company or the Exchange Rate Agent.

Section 312. Appointment and Resignation of Successor Exchange Rate Agent.

(a) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Currency other than Dollars or (ii) may be payable in a Currency other than Dollars, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will appoint and maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at least one Exchange Rate Agent. The Company will cause the Exchange Rate Agent to make the necessary foreign exchange determinations at the time

and in the manner specified pursuant to Section 301 for the purpose of determining the applicable rate of exchange and, if applicable, for the purpose of converting the issued Currency into the applicable payment Currency for the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, pursuant to Section 311.

(b) No resignation of the Exchange Rate Agent and no appointment of a successor Exchange Rate Agent pursuant to this Section shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Exchange Rate Agent as evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Company, with a copy to the Trustee accepting such appointment executed by the successor Exchange Rate Agent.

Remedies

Section 501. Events of Default.

“Event of Default”, with respect to Securities of a particular series wherever used herein, means any one of the following events and such other events as may be established with respect to the Securities of such series as contemplated in Section 301, continued for the period of time, if any, and after the giving of notice, if any, designated in this Indenture or as may be established with respect to such Securities as contemplated in Section 301, as the case may be, unless such event is either inapplicable or is specifically deleted or modified in, or pursuant to, the applicable Board Resolution or in the supplemental indenture under which such series of Securities is issued, as the case may be, as contemplated in Section 301:

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

(2) default in the payment of any installment of interest, if any, upon any of the Securities of such series as and when it shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

(3) default in the payment of any sinking fund payment, when and as due and payable by the terms of the Securities of such series; or

(4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company in the Securities of such series in any resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the issuance of that series of Securities, in this Indenture with respect to such series or in any supplemental indenture with respect to such series (other than a covenant or agreement a default in the performance of which or a breach of which is elsewhere in this Section 501 specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture and designated as being solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than such series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

(5) a default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed in excess of $20,000,000 of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (including a default with respect to Securities of any series other

than such series) or under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any such indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (including this Indenture), whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, and, if not already matured in accordance with its terms, such indebtedness has been accelerated without such involuntary acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within a period of 15 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; provided, however, that, if prior to the entry of judgment in favor of the Trustee for the payment of the Securities of such series, such default shall be remedied or cured by the Company or waived by the holders of such indebtedness, then the Event of Default hereunder by reason thereof shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon remedied, cured or waived without any action on the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders; or

(6) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

(7) the Company shall commence a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Company in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or

(8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of such series.

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the entire principal amount (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all of the Securities of such series and any premium and interest

accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and any premium and interest accrued thereon shall become immediately due and payable.

The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of the Securities of any series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of money due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided,

(1) the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay the premium and all matured installments of interest, if any, upon all the Securities of such series and the principal of any and all Securities of such series which shall have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration (with premium and interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue premium and installments of interest, if any, at the Overdue Rate applicable to such series to the date of such payment or deposit), and all amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 607, and

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

then and in every such case the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences with respect to such series, but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former rights and positions thereunder.

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

The Company covenants that if

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

(2) a default is made in the payment of the principal of, and any premium on, any of the Securities of any series as and when the same becomes due and payable, whether upon Stated Maturity of the Securities of such series or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise, or

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

then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series the whole amount then due and payable on all Securities of such series for principal and any premium and interest as the case may be (with interest to the date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue premium and installments of interest, if any, at the Overdue Rate applicable to Securities of such series); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and any further amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 607.

Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of any series to the registered Holders, whether or not the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of such series be overdue.

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

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or equitable right granted in this Indenture or by law.

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of any series under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other similar applicable Federal or State law, or in case a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or similar official shall have been appointed for the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

(1) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal (or, if the Securities of any series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be due and payable with respect to such series pursuant to a declaration in accordance with Section 502) and any premium and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of any series, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for any amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 607) and of the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor;

(2) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Securities of any series in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or of a person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings; and

(3) to collect and receive any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Holders and of the Trustee on their behalf (after deduction of costs and expenses of collection, and any further amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 607 and incurred by it); and any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee costs and expenses of collection and any further amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 607 and incurred by lt.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding, except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

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

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

Section 506. Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee.

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in the case of distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities or Coupons in respect of which money has been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Securities of like series and tenor if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

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

SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities in respect of which money has been collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of interest, if any, on the Securities in default in the order of the Maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee and to the extent permitted by applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest at the Overdue Rate applicable to such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; provided, however, that such payments shall be made subject to the provisions of Article Fourteen hereunder, if applicable;

THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities in respect of which money has been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon such Securities for principal and, any premium and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee and to the extent permitted by applicable law) upon overdue premium and installments of interest, if any, at the Overdue Rate applicable to such Securities; and in case such money shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon such Securities, then to the payment of such principal and any premium and interest, without preference or priority of principal over premium and interest, if any, or of interest, if any, over principal and premium, if any, or of premium, if any, over principal and interest, if any, or of any installment of interest, if any, over any other installment of interest, if any, or of any Security over any other Security, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid premium and interest, if any; provided, however, that such payments shall be made subject to the provisions of Article Fourteen hereunder, if applicable; and

FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or as the Company may direct.

Section 507. Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of default with respect to Securities of such series and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided;

(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceedings in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

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

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

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period pursuant to Section 512;

it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of any Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Securities, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

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

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as provided in Section 507 and except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to Section 507, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of any or all series, as the case may be, may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of such series or all series, as the case may be.

Section 512. Control by Holders.

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

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

(2) the Trustee (subject to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act) shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders not joining therein.

Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Holders.

Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the Maturity of the Securities of any particular series, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default not theretofore cured

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

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected as provided in Section 902.

In the case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of each series affected shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereby shall be deemed to have agreed, that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that neither this Section 514 nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

Section 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of

any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series affected; but the Trustee, in its discretion may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

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

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

Section 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, provided that the Trustee shall not be relieved of its duty to authenticate Securities only as authorized by this Indenture. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Section 605. May Hold Securities.

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent and, subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Company and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Section 606. Money Held in Trust.

Subject to the provisions of Section 1003, all money received by the Trustee or any Paying Agent, all money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1302 or Section 1303 and all money received by the Trustee in respect of Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 1302 or Section 1303, shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed by the Company. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such money shall be paid from time to time in accordance with a Company Order.

Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.

The Company covenants and agrees

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

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

(3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so promptly notify the Company, however, shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this paragraph except to the extent such failure shall have materially prejudiced the Company. The Company may at its option defend the claim and, if it so defends, then the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense and the Company shall not be responsible for any expenses of the Trustee’s counsel thereafter. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 607 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior

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

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or (7), the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

Section 608. Right to Rely on Officers’ Certificate.

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

Section 609. Eligibility.

The Trustee for each series of Securities hereunder shall at all times be a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and eligible under the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person at any time shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article.

Section 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(a) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and any appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 610 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided in Section 611.

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving 90 days written notice of resignation to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the applicable series by written instrument in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to any series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been

a bona fide Holder of a Security of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of such series and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor Trustee so appointed and to the Company the evidence provided for in Section 104 of the action in that regard taken by the Holders.

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

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of a relevant series for at least six months; or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 609 with respect to any series of Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of a relevant series for at least six months; or

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities (or all series, if required) and appoint a successor Trustee for such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee, or (ii) subject to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee for that series of Securities. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to such series of Securities shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the

Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to such series and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company with respect to such series. If no successor Trustee with respect to such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of such series and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of that series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

Section 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 610 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor Trustee hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee, upon payment (or due provision therefor) of any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 607, the Predecessor Trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 1003, pay over to the successor Trustee all money at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 607.

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

No successor Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall, with respect to such series, be qualified under the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and eligible under the provisions of Section 609.

Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor Trustee as provided in this Section 611, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holders of Securities of any series for which such successor Trustee is acting as Trustee in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of Securities in Section 106. If the Company fails to give such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.

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

Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be qualified under the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee by merger, conversion or consolidation may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of such successor to the Trustee or, if such successor to the Trustee is a successor by merger, conversion or consolidation, in the name of any predecessor hereunder; provided, however, that such successor shall use the predecessor’s name only in such circumstances set forth in this Section and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 311(a) and 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities or such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each

Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 614, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 614, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 614.

Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 614, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 614, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 614.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 614, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 614, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein and referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

(1) the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on all of the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company, shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture satisfactory in form to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by the Person (if other than the Company) formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or by the Person which shall have acquired or leased such property or assets and such person shall be organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia;

Supplemental Indentures

Section 901. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders.

Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

(1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein and in the Securities; or

(2) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the

benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; or

(3) to add any additional Events of Default and to provide with respect thereto for any particular periods of grace after default (which may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or for immediate enforcement upon such default or for any limitation of the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default; or

(4) to add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect of one or more series of Securities; provided, however, that any such addition, change or elimination (i) shall neither (A) apply to any Security of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor (B) modify the rights of the Holder of any such Security with respect to such provision or (ii) shall become effective only when there is no such Security Outstanding; or

(5) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities of one or more series any property or assets; or

(6) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201 and 301; or

(7) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 611; or

(8) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; or to change or eliminate any provision or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or under any supplemental indenture as the Company may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of any series.

Section 902. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture (each such series voting as a single class), by act of such Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series under

this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby,

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce any premium thereof or change the time of payment of any premium thereon, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment of interest thereon, if any, or reduce any amount payable on redemption or reduce the Overdue Rate thereof or make the principal thereof or any premium or interest thereon, payable at any place of payment or in any Currency other than as provided in the Security or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 504, or impair, if the Securities provide therefor, any right of repayment at the option of the Holder, or impair the right to institute a suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Security pursuant to Section 507; or

(2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Outstanding Securities the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture or for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or for waiver of certain defaults.

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

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but

shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee for such series as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture.

Covenants

Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and any premium and interest on, the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company will designate and maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The

Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in The City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

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

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

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

The Company will cause each Paying Agent 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 any premium or interest on the Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

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

(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default referred to in clause (2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.

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

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal and any premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York or other place of payment, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 1004. Limitations on Secured Debt.

The Company agrees for the benefit of Holders of Senior Securities only, that unless otherwise provided herein, the Company will not itself, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Debt secured after the date of the Indenture by pledge of, or mortgage or other lien (“Mortgage”) on, any Principal Property of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or any shares of stock or Debt of any Significant Subsidiary without effectively providing that the Senior Securities of all series issued pursuant to the Indenture (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Debt of the Company or such Significant Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created which is not subordinate to the Senior Securities) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the option of the Company, prior to) such secured Debt, so long as such secured Debt shall be so secured, unless after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all such secured Debt then outstanding which would otherwise be prohibited, plus all Attributable Debt of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries in respect of sale and leaseback transactions (as defined in Section 1005) occurring after the first date of issuance of the applicable Senior Securities which would otherwise be prohibited by the covenant described in Section 1005, would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Section 1005. Limitations on Sales and Leasebacks.

The Company agrees for the benefit of Holders of Senior Securities only, that unless otherwise provided herein, the Company will not itself, and will not permit any Significant Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor (not including the Company or any Significant Subsidiary) or to which any such lender or investor is a party, providing for the leasing by the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary of any Principal Property which has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Significant Subsidiary to such lender or investor or to any Person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such lender or investor (each, a “sale and leaseback transaction”) (except a lease for a temporary period, including renewals, not exceeding three years and except leases between the Company and a Significant Subsidiary or between Significant Subsidiaries) unless, (i) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt with respect to all such transactions occurring after the first date of issuance of the applicable Senior Securities and existing at such time (other than such sales and leaseback transactions as are in compliance with the provisions described in clause (ii) of this paragraph) plus all secured Debt then outstanding of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries incurred after the first date of issuance of the applicable Senior Securities which would otherwise be prohibited by the covenant described in Section 1004 above, would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; or (ii) (a) the gross proceeds of the sale or transfer of the Principal Property leased equals or exceeds the fair market value of such Principal Property and (b) within one year after such sale or transfer shall have been made by the Company or by a Significant Subsidiary, the Company or a Significant Subsidiary (1) applies or commits to apply, all of the net proceeds to the retirement of Funded Debt of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (other than at maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund payment or mandatory prepayment provision) or (2) applies or commits to apply all of the net proceeds to the purchase of property, facilities or equipment (other than property, facilities or equipment involved in such sale) which will constitute Principal Property.

Section 1006. Certificate of Compliance.

The Company shall deliver a certificate of compliance of the Company to the Trustee on or before April 30 of each year pursuant to section 314(a)(4) of the Trust Indenture Act, stating, as to each signer thereof, that,

(a) a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of the performance under this Indenture has been made under such signer’s supervision, and

(b) to the best of such signer’s knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations under this Indenture throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known to such signer and the nature and status thereof.

Section 1007. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1004 and 1005 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Securities of such series shall, by the act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made for either or both of (1) defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1302 or (2) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1303, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article, shall be applicable to the Securities of such series, and the Company may at its option by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of such series, elect to have either Section 1302 (if applicable) or Section 1303 (if applicable) be applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.

Section 1302. Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 1301 to have this Section 1302 applied to the Outstanding Securities of a defeasible series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series on the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium or interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to the Trustee under Section 607, (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee under Sections 304, 305, 306, 308, 309, 506 and 1003, and otherwise the duty of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued on registration of transfer or exchange and (4) this Article.

Section 1303. Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 1301 to have this Section 1303 applied to the Outstanding Securities of any defeasible series, the Company shall be released from (i) in the case of Senior Securities of any series, its obligations under Sections 1004 and 1005 hereof or (ii) in the case of Senior Securities or Subordinated Securities of any series, its obligations with respect to any other covenant with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section

1304 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 501(4) or 501(8) (except to the extent covenants or agreements referenced in such Sections remain applicable).

Section 1304. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Except as expressly provided below, the following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 1302 or Section 1303 to the Outstanding Securities of such series:

specific payment of principal of or interest on the Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt;

(2) No Event of Default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee for the Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of the Company;

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

(5) In the case of an election under Section 1302, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;

(6) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause any Securities of such series then listed on any registered national securities exchange under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be delisted;

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

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

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

Section 1305. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to the provisions of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying Trustee—collectively, for purposes of this Section 1305, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through a Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and any premium and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance.

Section 1306. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and each series of Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Governmental Obligations in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any series of Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such series of Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

Subordination

Section 1401. Agreement to Subordinate

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Subordinated Security issued hereunder, by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that all Subordinated Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article; and each Person holding any Subordinated Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees that the principal of and interest (and premium, if any) on all Subordinated Securities issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner herein set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness.

Section 1402. Payments to Holders of Subordinated Securities.

In the event of (i) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets; or (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy; or (iii) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets or liabilities of the Company, then and in any such event specified in clause (i), clause (ii) or clause (iii) above (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”):

(1) the holders of Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to receive payment of such Senior Indebtedness in full before the holders of Subordinated Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of cash, securities or other property with respect to the principal of, premium, (if any), or interest on or other obligations in respect of the Subordinated Securities, or on account of any purchase or other acquisition of Subordinated Securities by the Company (all such payments, distributions, purchases and acquisitions herein referred to, individually and collectively, as a “Subordinated Securities Payment”), and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any Subordinated Securities Payment which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Securities in any such Proceeding; and

(2) until the Senior Indebtedness paid in full, any Subordinated Securities Payment to which holders of Subordinated Securities would be entitled but for this Article Fourteen will be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear. If a Subordinated Securities Payment is made to holders of Subordinated Securities that, due to this Article Fourteen should not have been made to them such holders of Subordinated Securities are required to hold it in trust for the holders of Senior Indebtedness and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1402, the Trustee receives payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or

character, before all the Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, then and in such event, such Subordinated Securities Payment shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay the Senior Indebtedness of the Company in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company.

The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to another person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article Eight shall not be deemed a Proceeding for the purposes of this Section 1402 if the person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the person which acquires by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions set forth in Article Eight.

Section 1403. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default.

The Company will not make any Subordinated Securities Payment or make any deposit pursuant to the provisions described under “Defeasance” Article Thirteen if (i) any Designated Senior Debt is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or (ii) any other default on Designated Senior Debt occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the default has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Designated Senior Debt has been discharged or paid in full; provided, however, that the Company may make Subordinated Securities Payments or make any deposit pursuant to the provisions described under “Defeasance” Article Thirteen without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the representative of the Designated Senior Debt with respect to which either of the events set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence has occurred and is continuing.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any Subordinated Securities Payment to the Trustee or any Holder prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 1403, then and in such event, such Subordinated Securities Payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay in full all the Senior Indebtedness of the Company.

If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company or the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of Designated Senior Debt or the representative of such holders of the acceleration.

The provisions of this Section 1403 shall not apply to any Subordinated Securities Payment with respect to which Section 1402 would be applicable.

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, shall be received by the Trustee under this Indenture or the Holders of the Subordinated Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full or provision is made for such payment in accordance with its terms, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have been known to the Trustee, then such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the representative of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interest may appear, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in accordance with its distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

For purposes of this Article only, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of arrangement, reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated (at least to the extent provided in this Article with respect to the Subordinated Securities) to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such arrangement, reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such arrangement, reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with or into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided in Article Eight shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article Eight. Nothing in this Section shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee

under or pursuant to Article Six, except as expressly provided therein. This Section shall be subject to the further provisions of Section 1406.

Section 1404. Subrogation.

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Subordinated Securities subject to the provisions of Sections 1402 and 1403 shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all obligations of the Company which by their express terms are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the same extent as the Subordinated Securities are subordinated and which are entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on such Subordinated Securities shall be paid in full; and for the purpose of such subrogation, no payments of distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of such Subordinated Securities or the Trustee on their behalf would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of such Subordinated Securities or the Trustee on their behalf shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of such Subordinated Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness; and no payments or distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the subrogation provision of this Article, which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of such Securities. The provisions of this Article 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 the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

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

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 601 and 603, and the Holders of the Subordinated Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, arrangement or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Subordinated Securities for the

purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such 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 1405. Authorization by Holders of Subordinated Securities.

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

Section 1406. Notice to Trustee.

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to any Paying Agent of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or any paying agent in respect of the Subordinated Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article. Regardless of anything to the contrary contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any default or event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness or of any other facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee in respect of the Subordinated Securities unless and until the Trustee shall have received notice in writing at its Corporate Trust Office to that effect signed by an officer of the Company, or by a holder or agent of a holder of Senior Indebtedness who shall have been certified by the Company or otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee to be such holder or agent, or by the trustee under any indenture pursuant to which Senior Indebtedness shall be outstanding, and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall, subject to Sections 601 and 603, be entitled to assume that no such facts exist; provided, that if on a date at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys shall become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this section, then, regardless of anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date.

Regardless of anything to the contrary herein (but subject, in the case of clause (a) of this paragraph, to Section 1402), nothing shall prevent (a) any payment by the Company or the Trustee to the Holders of Subordinated Securities of amounts in connection with a redemption of Subordinated Securities if (i) notice of such redemption has been given pursuant to Article Eleven prior to the receipt by the Trustee of written notice as aforesaid, and (ii) such notice of redemption is given not earlier than 60 days before the redemption date, or (b) any payment by the Trustee to the Holders of Subordinated Securities of amounts deposited with it pursuant to Section 1302.

Subject to Sections 601 and 603, 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 other representative on behalf of such holder) to establish that

such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or other representative on behalf of any such holder. 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.

Section 1407. Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness

The Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee 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 in its individual or any other capacity to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in the Trust Indenture Act or in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or any such agent of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607.

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Sections 601 and 603, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall in good faith pay over or deliver to Holders of Subordinated Securities, the Company or any other Person moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

Section 1408. No Impairment of Subordination.

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 which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Section 1409. Trust Moneys Not Subordinated.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust under Article Thirteen by the Trustee for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Subordinated Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions on this Article Fourteen, and none of the Trustee or the holders of the Subordinated Securities shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any other creditor of the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed and attested, all as of the day and year first above written.
