The aggregate principal amount of Notes of all series which may be authenticated and delivered and outstanding under this Indenture is not limited.

All Notes of any one series (or in the case of a series with more than one Tranche, of any Tranche within the series) shall be substantially identical except (i) as to

12

denomination and (ii) as may otherwise be set forth in such Issuance Order or in any such indenture supplemental hereto.

SECTION 2.02 FORM OF NOTES. The Notes shall be in the forms referred to in Section 2.06, in connection with Global Notes, or, with respect to Global Notes or Notes in certificated form, in such other forms as may be approved by or pursuant to a Company Order or supplemental indenture hereto. Interest on the Notes (other than Zero-Coupon Notes) shall be payable monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually as set forth in the forms approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Company Order or a supplemental indenture hereto. Such forms may have such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Notes may be listed, or to conform to usage.

The Notes of any series, or Tranche within a series, shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers of the Company executing such Notes as evidenced by their execution of such Notes by manual or facsimile signature.

SECTION 2.03 DENOMINATIONS; RECORD DATE. Unless otherwise specified in an Issuance Order or supplemental indenture, the Notes of each series, or Tranche within a series, shall be issuable in book-entry form (“Book-Entry Notes”) and represented by one or more Global Notes in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000.

The term “Regular Record Date” as used with respect to an Interest Payment Date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) shall mean such day or days as shall be specified in the terms of the Notes of any particular series, or Tranche within a series, as contemplated by Section 2.01.

The person in whose name any Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to an Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Note upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Company shall default in the payment of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names outstanding Notes are registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of Notes of the series, or Tranche within the series, in default not less than fifteen days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than five days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest.

13

Global Notes will be denominated in principal amounts not in excess of $500,000,000 (or such higher amount as may be permitted, or lower amount as may be required, by the Depositary). If one or more Book-Entry Notes having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500,000,000 (or such higher amount as may be permitted, or lower amount as may be required, by the Depositary) would, but for the preceding sentence, be represented by a single Global Note, then one Global Note will be issued to represent each $500,000,000 (or such higher amount as may be permitted, or lower amount as may be required, by the Depositary) principal amount of such Book-Entry Note or Notes and an additional Global Note will be issued to represent any remaining principal amount of such Book-Entry Note or Notes. In such case, each of the Global Notes representing such Book-Entry Note or Notes shall be assigned the same CUSIP number.

SECTION 2.04 EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF NOTES. The Notes shall be signed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer, under its corporate seal. Such signature may be the manual or facsimile signature of the present or any future such officer. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Notes.

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbelow recited, executed by the Trustee by manual signature of one of its authorized officers, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

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

Within five days after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, but no later than the date of first issuance of Notes hereunder, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to the incumbency and specimen signatures of Authorized Officers, who shall be authorized to execute Notes and to give Company Orders under this Indenture and, as long as Notes are outstanding under this Indenture, shall deliver a similar Officer’s Certificate within five days after any change in the officers so authorized. The Trustee may conclusively rely on the documents delivered pursuant to this Section and Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.06 hereof (unless revoked by superseding comparable documents) as to the authorization of the Board of Directors of any Notes delivered hereunder, the legality, binding effect and enforceability thereof and the form and terms thereof, and as to the authority of the instructing officers referred to in this Section so to act.

14

SECTION 2.05 FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION. The certificate of authentication as to Notes of any series shall be in substantially the following form:

[FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION]

This is one of the Notes described in the within-mentioned Indenture.

		, as Trustee
By:
	Authorized Officer

SECTION 2.06 AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF NOTES. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver certificated Notes or global Notes, without interest coupons (“Global Notes”) of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication by the Trustee together with an Issuance Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Notes in accordance with such Issuance Order. A Company Order may specify that written instructions to the Trustee as to the authentication and delivery of Notes may be given on behalf of the Company by any person designated in such Company Order, and the Trustee may conclusively rely on any such instructions as if given by the Company until such authorization is expressly revoked by a subsequent Company Order. The Company Order may specify such other procedures as shall be acceptable to the Trustee for the authentication and delivery from time to time of Notes of a series that are not to be originally issued at one time (a “Periodic Offering”). If the form or terms of the Notes of the series, or Tranche within the series, have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or Issuance Orders as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.02, in authenticating such Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating:

(1) that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2) that such terms have been, or in the case of Notes of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, subject, in the case of Notes of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and

(3) that such Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent

15

transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

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

Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of Section 2.01 or 2.02 or this Section 2.06, if all Notes of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Opinion of Counsel otherwise required upon the authentication of each Note of such series if such Opinion of Counsel is delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Note of such series to be issued.

With respect to Notes of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Notes, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Notes of such series.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03, all Book-Entry Notes of the same series and Tranche will be represented by one or more Global Notes, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Each Global Note will be dated and issued as of the date of its authentication by the Trustee. Each Global Note will bear an Issue Date, which will be (i) with respect to an original Global Note (or any portion thereof), its original issuance date (which will be the Settlement Date for the Book-Entry Notes represented by such Global Note) and (ii) with respect to any Global Note (or portion thereof) issued subsequently upon exchange of a Global Note or in lieu of a destroyed, lost or stolen Global Note, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on the predecessor Global Note or Notes (or if no such payment or provision has been made, the original issuance date of the predecessor Global Note or Notes), regardless of the date of authentication of such subsequently issued Global Note. No Global Note shall represent any Note in certificated form.

16

Each Global Note, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03, (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an authorized aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Book-Entry Notes outstanding of such series and Tranche represented thereby, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Notes in global form or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction and (iv) if the Depositary is The Depository Trust Company, shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to the issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as requested by an authorized representative of DTC and any payment is made to Cede & Co., ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

Each Depositary designated for a Global Note must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other applicable statute or regulation. At all reasonable times, Global Notes will be made available by the Depositary or its custodian for inspection by the Company.

SECTION 2.07 EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF NOTES. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Notes represented thereby, in definitive form, a Global Note may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series, or the applicable Tranche of such series, to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or Tranche or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

If at any time the Depositary of a series or Tranche notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Book-Entry Notes of such series or Tranche or if at any time the Depositary for the Book-Entry Notes of such series or Tranche shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.06, the Company, by Company Order, shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Notes of such series or Tranche. If a successor Depositary for the Notes of such series or Tranche is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, authenticate and deliver Notes of such series or Tranche in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount and like terms and tenor equal to the principal amount of the Book-Entry Note or Notes in global form representing such series or Tranche in exchange for such Book-Entry Note or Notes in global form.

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that individual Book-Entry Notes of any series or Tranche issued in global form shall no longer be represented by a Global Note. In such event the Company will execute, authenticate and deliver individual certificated Notes of such series or Tranche in definitive form in authorized denominations and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Note representing such series or Tranche in exchange for such Global Note.

If specified by the Company with respect to a series or Tranche of Book-Entry Notes, the Depositary for such series or Tranche of Notes may surrender the Global Note

17

for such series or Tranche of Notes in exchange in whole or in part for individual Notes of such series or Tranche in definitive form and of like terms and tenor on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge:

(a) to the Depositary or to each person specified by such Depositary a new individual Note or Notes of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such person’s beneficial interest in the Global Note; and

(b) to such Depositary a new Global Note in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Note and the aggregate principal amount of the individual Notes delivered to holders thereof.

Upon the exchange of a Global Note for Notes in definitive form, such Global Note shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Certificated Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Note, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect Participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Company shall deliver such Certificated Notes to the persons in whose names such Notes are so registered or to the Depositary.

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

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

At the option of the Holder, Notes of any series may be exchanged for other Notes of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like Tranche and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same

18

benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

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

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.01 or 10.04 not involving any transfer.

If the Notes of any series (or of any series and specified Tranche) are to be redeemed, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes of that series (or of that series and Tranche, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

The beneficial owner of a Book-Entry Note (or one or more indirect Participants in the Depositary designated by such owner) will designate one or more Participants in the Depositary to act as agent or agents for such owner in connection with the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary, and the Depositary will record in book-entry form, in accordance with instructions provided by such participants, a credit balance with respect to such beneficial owner in such Book-Entry Note in the account of such Participants. The ownership interest of such beneficial owner in such Book-Entry Note will be recorded through the records of such Participants or through the separate records of such Participants and one or more indirect participants in the Depositary. None of the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Transfers of a Book-Entry Note will be accomplished by book entries made by the Depositary and, in turn, by Participants (and in certain cases, one or more indirect participants in the Depositary) acting on behalf of beneficial transferors and transferees of such Book-Entry Note.

SECTION 2.08 MUTILATED, DEFACED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN NOTES. In case any Note shall at any time become mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen, and such Note shall be delivered to the Trustee or satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss, or theft thereof (together with the security and

19

indemnity hereinafter referred to and such other documents or proof required by the Company or the Trustee), shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of or in exchange for such Note, a new Note bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding of the same series, form, Settlement Date, interest rate, denomination, Maturity Date and Interest Payment Dates. In the case of any mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, an indemnity satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee may be required of the holder of such Note before a replacement Note will be issued. All expenses (including taxes and governmental charges and the fees and expenses of the Trustee) associated with obtaining such indemnity and in issuing the new Note shall be borne by the holder of the Note so mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen.

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

Every substituted Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall, with respect to such Note, constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

All Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall, to the extent permitted by law, preclude any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

SECTION 2.09 CANCELLATION. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, or exchange, as the case may be, shall, if surrendered to the Trustee, be cancelled and disposed of by it in accordance with its customary procedures and a certificate of disposition delivered to the Company, or shall, if surrendered to any Paying Agent, be delivered to the Trustee and promptly cancelled and disposed of by the Trustee and a certificate of disposition delivered to the Company, and no Notes shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture.

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION OF NOTES; SURVIVOR’S OPTION

SECTION 3.01 REDEMPTION OF NOTES; APPLICABILITY OF SECTION. Redemption of Notes of any series, or Tranche within a series, as permitted or required by the terms thereof shall be made in accordance with such terms and this Section; provided, however, that if any provision of any series or Tranche of Notes shall

20

conflict with any provision of this Section, the provision of such series or Tranche of Notes shall govern.

The Company shall, at least five (5) Business Days prior (or any shorter period which the parties hereto may agree in writing) to the latest date on which notice of redemption may be given by the Trustee, in accordance with provisions of the next paragraph, for the redemption of Notes of the applicable series or Tranche on the redemption date specified in such notice from the Company (a “Redemption Date”), give written notice to the Trustee that the Notes of such series or Tranche will be redeemed on the applicable Redemption Date. In the case of a partial redemption, if allowable, such notice shall state the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. Otherwise, such notice shall state that the entire principal amount of Notes of the series or Tranche to be redeemed at the time outstanding shall be redeemed. In each case, such notice shall state the provision of the terms of such Notes under which such redemption is made, that the conditions precedent, if any, to such redemption have occurred, shall describe the same and shall state the applicable redemption price. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee any certificate or notice required to be so delivered by the terms of the Notes to be redeemed. Notice given hereunder shall, except in the case of a conditional notice of redemption described below or as otherwise provided by the terms of the Notes to be redeemed, be irrevocable. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Issuance Order or supplemental indenture, any notice of an optional redemption by the Company or of a redemption by the Company upon a Determination of Tax Event may state that the redemption to be effected is conditioned upon the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed and that if such moneys are not so received such notice shall be of no force or effect and such Notes shall not be required to be redeemed. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the applicable Notes are not on deposit with the Trustee on the applicable Redemption Date, the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within five Business Days thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received and that such redemption has been cancelled.

Upon receipt of notice from the Company that the Notes of a series or Tranche will be redeemed, the Trustee shall cause notice of such redemption to be given not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days (or within any other period specified for such series or Tranche of Notes in the applicable Issuance Order or supplemental indenture) prior to the applicable Redemption Date in the manner provided in Section 1.02. Such notice shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the applicable redemption price, the Place of Payment, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that on and after said date interest thereon will cease to accrue and, if less than all the Notes of a given series or Tranche are to be redeemed, the identification and, in the case of partial redemptions, the principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed. In the case of a redemption pursuant to any provisions of the terms of Notes specifying conditions precedent to redemption of the Notes of such series, such notice shall also state that the Company has advised the Trustee that the conditions precedent to such redemption have occurred and shall describe them, provided that in the case of a

21

conditional redemption notice described in the preceding paragraph, such notice shall state that such redemption is subject to the receipt by the Trustee on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date of moneys sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes. In the case of a partial redemption (if allowable) pursuant to the terms of the Notes to be redeemed, such notice shall indicate the serial numbers of the Notes to be redeemed (which shall be selected by the Trustee by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Note; provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Note shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Note). Otherwise, such notice shall state that the entire principal amount of the Notes of the series or Tranche to be redeemed at the time outstanding shall be redeemed.

The Trustee shall promptly send a copy of the notice of redemption issued pursuant to this Section 3.01 to the Company, each other Paying Agent, and the Depositary.

SECTION 3.02 SURVIVOR’S OPTION. If so specified in any Issuance Order applicable to a Note, the Representative (as defined below) of the beneficial owner of such Note shall have the option to elect repayment of such Note (or a portion thereof) in the event of the death of the beneficial owner of such Note, subject however to any Survivor’s Option Blackout Period.

Pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option, the Company shall repay any Note (or portion thereof) properly tendered to the Trustee for repayment by or on behalf of the person (the “Representative”) that has authority to act on behalf of the deceased owner of the beneficial interest in such Note under the laws of the appropriate jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the personal representative, executor, surviving joint tenant or surviving tenant by the entirety of such deceased beneficial owner) at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the beneficial interest of the deceased owner in such Note plus accrued interest to the date of such repayment (or at a price equal to the Amortized Face Amount for Discount Notes and Zero-Coupon Notes on the date of such repayment), subject to the following limitations. The Company may, in its sole discretion, limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes as to which exercises of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted in any calendar year (the “Annual Put Limitation”) to one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes subject to the Survivor’s Option as of the end of the most recent fiscal year, but not less than $1,000,000 in any such calendar year, or such greater amount as the Company in its sole discretion may determine for any calendar year, and may limit to $200,000, or such greater amount as the Company in its sole discretion may determine for any calendar year, the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) as to which exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be accepted in such calendar year with respect to any individual deceased owner of beneficial interests in such Notes (the “Individual Put Limitation”). Moreover, the Company shall not make principal repayments pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option in amounts that are less than $1,000 or that are not integral multiples of $1,000, and, in the event that the limitations described in the preceding sentence would result in the partial repayment of any Note, the principal

22

amount of such Note remaining outstanding after repayment must be at least $1,000. The Survivor’s Option shall not be exercisable during a Survivor’s Option Blackout Period that, unless otherwise provided in an Issuance Order or supplemental indenture applicable to the Note, shall end on the first anniversary of the date of issuance of a Note. Any Note (or portion thereof) tendered pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option may not be withdrawn unless the Note (or portion thereof) is not accepted on account of the Annual Put Limitation or the Individual Put Limitation.

Each Note (or portion thereof) that is tendered pursuant to valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option shall be accepted promptly in the order all such Notes are tendered, except for any Note (or portion thereof) the acceptance of which would contravene (i) the Annual Put Limitation, if applied, or (ii) the Individual Put Limitation, if applied, with respect to the relevant individual deceased owner of beneficial interests therein. If, as of the end of any calendar year, the aggregate principal amount of Notes (or portions thereof) that have been accepted pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option during such year has not exceeded the Annual Put Limitation, if applied, for such year, any exercise(s) of the Survivor’s Option with respect to Notes (or portions thereof) not accepted during such calendar year because such acceptance would have contravened the Individual Put Limitation, if applied, with respect to an individual deceased owner of beneficial interests therein shall be accepted in the order all such Notes (or portions thereof) were tendered, to the extent that any such exercise would not trigger the Annual Put Limitation for such calendar year. Any Note (or portion thereof) accepted for repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option shall be repaid no later than the first Interest Payment Date for such Note that occurs 20 or more calendar days after the date of such acceptance or, in the case of Zero-Coupon Notes, as set forth in the applicable Issuance Order or supplemental indenture. Each Note (or any portion thereof) tendered for repayment that is not accepted in any calendar year due to the application of the Annual Put Limitation or the Individual Put Limitation shall be deemed to be tendered in the following calendar year in the order in which all such Notes (or portions thereof) were originally tendered, unless any such Note (or portion thereof) is withdrawn by the Representative for the deceased owner. In the event that a Note (or any portion thereof) tendered for repayment pursuant to valid exercise of the Survivor’s Option is not accepted, the Trustee shall deliver a notice by first-class mail to the Representative who tendered such Note for repayment, at the address identified by the Representative in connection with such tender, or in the case of a tender by a Representative that has not made such Representative’s mailing address known to the Trustee, to the registered holder of the applicable Note at its last known address as indicated in the Note Register, or in the case of Notes represented by a Global Note, to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in the Note is held by the deceased owner, which notice states the reason such Note (or portion thereof) has not been accepted for payment. The Representative may withdraw the tender of a Note (but only with respect to any portion of such Note that was not paid because of the application of the Annual Put Limitation or the Individual Put Limitation) prior to the earlier of (i) the date that is 90 days from the date of delivery by the Trustee of the foregoing notice of non-acceptance of the tender of a Note (or any portion thereof) or (ii) the Regular Record Date for the next scheduled Interest Payment Date, if any, on the Note.

23

Subject to the foregoing, in order for a Survivor’s Option to be validly exercised with respect to any Note (or portion thereof), the Trustee must receive from the Representative of the deceased owner (i) a written request for repayment signed by the Representative, and such signature must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”) or a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, (ii) tender of the Note (or portion thereof) to be repaid, (iii) appropriate evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company that (A) the Representative has authority to act on behalf of the deceased beneficial owner, (B) the death of such beneficial owner has occurred and (C) the deceased was the owner of a beneficial interest in such Note at the time of death, (iv) if applicable, a properly executed assignment or endorsement, and (v) if the beneficial interest in such Note is held by a nominee of the deceased beneficial owner, a certificate or letter satisfactory to the Trustee from such nominee attesting to the deceased’s ownership of a beneficial interest in such Note. All questions as to the eligibility or validity of any exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties.

The death of a person owning a Note in joint tenancy or tenancy by the entirety with another or others shall be deemed the death of the holder of the Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so held shall be subject to repayment, together with interest accrued thereon to the repayment date. The death of a person owning a Note by tenancy in common shall be deemed the death of a holder of a Note only with respect to the deceased holder’s interest in the Note so held by tenancy in common; except that in the event a Note is held by husband and wife as tenants in common, the death of either shall be deemed the death of the holder of the Note, and the entire principal amount of the Note so held shall be subject to repayment. The death of a person who, during his or her lifetime, was entitled to substantially all of the beneficial interests of ownership of a Note, shall be deemed the death of the holder thereof for purposes of this provision, regardless of the registered holder, if such beneficial interest can be established to the satisfaction of the Trustee and the Company. Such beneficial interest shall be deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, community property or other joint ownership arrangements between a husband and wife and trust arrangements where one person has substantially all of the beneficial ownership interest in the Note during his or her lifetime.

For Notes represented by a Global Note, the Depositary or its nominee shall be the holder of such Note and therefore shall be the only entity (either directly or through its Participants) that can exercise the Survivor’s Option for such Note. To obtain repayment pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option with respect to such Note, the Representative must provide to the broker or other entity through which the beneficial interest in such Note is held by the deceased owner (i) the documents described in clauses (i) and (iii) of the second preceding paragraph and (ii) instructions to such broker or other entity to notify the Depositary of such Representative’s desire to obtain repayment

24

pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option. Such broker or other entity shall provide to the Trustee (A) the documents received from the Representative referred to in clause (i) of the preceding sentence, (B) a certificate or letter satisfactory to the Trustee from such broker or other entity stating that it represents the deceased beneficial owner, ^© a detailed description of the Note, including CUSIP number, coupon rate, if any, and Maturity Date; (D) the deceased’s social security number and (E) a written request for repayment signed by such broker or other entity. Such broker or other entity shall be responsible for disbursing any payments it receives pursuant to exercise of the Survivor’s Option to the appropriate Representative.

SECTION 3.03 REDEMPTION FOR TAX REASONS. If so specified in any Issuance Order applicable to a series, or Tranche within a series, of Notes, the Notes of such series or Tranche may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Company at any time, upon notice to the Trustee and the holders of the Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount (or Amortized Face Amount in the case of a Discount Note) of the Notes to be redeemed together with accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date, upon the occurrence of a Determination of Tax Event.

For purposes of this Section 3.03, a “Determination of Tax Event” shall mean (i) the delivery to the Company of a written opinion of independent legal counsel of recognized standing, to the effect that as a result of a Tax Event the Company has become obligated to pay Additional Amounts and (ii) the delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Company, in its business judgment, has determined that such obligation cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company, not including assignment of the Notes.

For purposes of this Section 3.03, a “Tax Event” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

• any change in or amendment to the laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision affecting taxation, which becomes effective after the Issue Date of the first Note of the applicable series or Tranche of Notes;

• any change in or amendment to the official application or interpretation of the laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision affecting taxation, which change, amendment, application or interpretation is announced or becomes effective after the Issue Date of the first Note of the applicable series or Tranche of Notes; or

• any action taken by any taxing authority of the United States or any political subdivision affecting taxation which action is taken or becomes

25

generally known after the Issue Date of the first Note of the applicable series or Tranche of Notes, or any commencement of a proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States after such date, whether or not such action was taken or such proceeding was brought with respect to the Company or the Notes.

PAYMENT AND PAYING AGENTS.

SECTION 4.01 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; PAYMENT OF ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and interest, if any, on each of the Notes at the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the terms of the Notes and in this Indenture. If so specified in any Issuance Order applicable to a series, or Tranche within a series, of Notes, the Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the Additional Amounts, if any, on each of the Notes at the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the terms of the Notes and in this Indenture.

Each Note will bear interest from and including its Issue Date (or from such other date as may be specified in an Issuance Order or supplemental indenture hereto) at the rate per annum set forth in such Note and until the principal amount thereof is paid, or made available for payment, in full. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Issuance Order or supplemental indenture, interest on each Note (other than a Zero-Coupon Note) will be payable either monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually on each Interest Payment Date as set forth in such Note and at Maturity (or on the date of redemption or repayment if a Note is repurchased by the Company prior to Maturity pursuant to mandatory or optional redemption provisions or the Survivor’s Option). Interest will be payable to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, interest payable at Maturity, on a date of redemption or in connection with the exercise of the Survivor’s Option will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable.

Unless otherwise specified in a Note, any interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Issuance Order or supplemental indenture, the following terms in this paragraph shall apply to each Note. The Interest Payment Dates for a Note that provides for monthly interest payments shall be the fifteenth day of each calendar month commencing in the calendar month that next succeeds the month in which the Note is issued. In the case of a Note that provides for quarterly interest payments, the Interest Payment Dates shall be the fifteenth day of each third month, commencing in the third succeeding calendar month following the month in which the Note is issued. In the case of a Note that provides for semi-annual interest payments, the Interest Payment Dates shall be the fifteenth day of each sixth month, commencing in the sixth succeeding calendar month following the month in which the Note is issued. In the case of a Note that provides for annual interest payments, the

26

Interest Payment Date shall be the fifteenth day of each twelfth month, commencing in the twelfth succeeding calendar month following the month in which the Note is issued. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Issuance Order, the Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be the first day of the calendar month in which such Interest Payment Date occurs, except that the Regular Record Date with respect to the final Interest Payment Date shall be the final Interest Payment Date.

Each payment of interest on a Note shall include accrued interest from and including the Issue Date or from and including the last day in respect of which interest has been paid (or duly provided for), as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, repayment date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

Promptly after each Regular Record Date with respect to Global Notes, the Trustee will deliver to the Company and the Depositary a written notice specifying by CUSIP number the amount of interest (to the extent then ascertainable) to be paid on each Global Note (other than on an Interest Payment Date coinciding with the Maturity Date) and the total of such amounts. On such Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee in turn will pay to the Depositary in accordance with procedures agreed to by the Depositary, such total amount of interest due. All interest payments on a certificated Note (other than interest due at Maturity) will be made by check and mailed by the Company to the person entitled thereto as listed on the Note Register.

All interest payments on Book-Entry Notes will be paid by the Trustee to the Depositary in accordance with existing arrangements between the Trustee and the Depositary. Thereafter, on each Interest Payment Date, the Depositary will pay, in accordance with its operating procedures then in effect, such amounts in funds available for immediate use to the respective Participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in principal amount of beneficial interest in such Global Note as are recorded in the book-entry system maintained by the Depositary. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any direct responsibility or liability for the payment by the Depositary of the principal of or interest on, the Book-Entry Notes to such Participants. On or about the first Business Day of each month, the Trustee will deliver to the Company and the Depositary a written list of principal and interest (to the extent then ascertainable) to be paid on each Global Note representing Book-Entry Notes maturing in the following month. The Trustee, the Company and the Depositary will confirm the amounts of such principal and interest payments with respect to each Global Note on or about the fifth Business Day preceding the Maturity Date of such Global Note. On the Maturity Date, the Company will pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee in turn will pay to the Depositary, the principal amount of such Global Note, together with interest due on such Maturity Date.

Promptly after payment to the Depositary of the principal and interest due on the final Maturity Date of such Global Note, the Trustee will cancel and dispose of such Global Note in accordance with Section 2.09 and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. Promptly after payment to the Holder of the principal and interest due on the final Maturity Date of any certificated Note, the Trustee will cancel and dispose of such

27

Note in accordance with Section 2.09 and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. Payment by the Trustee of (i) the principal and interest or Amortized Face Amount due on any Note on the final Maturity Date of such Note, or (ii) the principal due on the Redemption Date or repayment date or upon acceleration of any portion of a certificated Note, together with interest, if any, due on such principal, shall be made upon presentation and surrender of such Note by the Holder to the Paying Agent. In the case of any certificated Note surrendered for payment of less than the entire principal amount of such Note, the Trustee shall make a notation on such Note of the principal or Amortized Face Amount of such Note paid on the applicable date on such Note, or the Company shall issue in exchange for such surrendered Note, and the Trustee shall authenticate, a replacement Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount remaining unpaid after the applicable payment, and the annotated or replacement Note, as applicable, shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Holder thereof. Payment by the Trustee of the principal due on any Global Note at Maturity (other than principal due on the final Maturity Date of such Note) or on the Redemption Date or repayment date of less than the entire principal amount of a Global Note, shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with existing arrangements between the Trustee and the Depositary with respect to the notation of the reduction in the outstanding principal amount of any Global Note or the exchange of such Global Note for a replacement Global Note reflecting such reduced outstanding principal amount.

The amount of any taxes required under applicable law to be withheld from any interest payment on a Book-Entry Note will be determined and withheld by the Participant, indirect participant in the Depositary or other person responsible for forwarding payments and materials directly to the beneficial owner of such Note.

If the Company issues a series, or a Tranche within a series, of Notes outside of the United States, and the Issuance Order or supplemental indenture with respect to such series or Tranche of Notes so provides, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Note of such series or Tranche who is a Non-United States Person such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that every net payment in respect of the principal or interest, if any, on such Note, after deduction or withholding by the Company or any Paying Agent for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon or as a result of such payment by the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (collectively, “Taxes”), will not be less than the amount provided for in the Note to be then due and payable before any such deduction or withholding for or on account of any such Taxes; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply to:

(a) any Taxes which would not have been so imposed but for:

• the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder (or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, or shareholder of, or holder of a power over, the Holder, if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation) and the United States, including, without limitation, the

28

Holder (or the fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member, shareholder of, or holder of a power) being or having been a citizen or resident or treated as a resident being or having been engaged in a trade or business or being or having been present or having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States; or

• the Holder’s present or former status as a personal holding company or foreign personal holding company or controlled foreign corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes or corporation which accumulates earnings to avoid United States Federal income tax;

(b) any Taxes which would not have been so imposed but for the presentation by the Holder of the Note for payment on a date more than 10 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

(c) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or excise tax or any similar Taxes;

(d) any Taxes which are payable otherwise than by withholding from payments in respect of principal of or interest, if any, on any Note;

(e) any Taxes imposed on interest received by a Holder or beneficial owner of a Note who actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all of the Company’s classes of stock entitled to vote within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

(f) any Taxes imposed as a result of the failure to comply with:

• certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Note, if compliance is required by statute, or by regulation of the United States Treasury Department, as a precondition to relief or exemption from such Taxes (including backup withholding); or

• any other certification, information, documentation, reporting or other similar requirements under United States income tax laws or regulations that would establish entitlement to otherwise applicable relief or exemption from such Taxes;

(g) any Taxes required to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any

29

Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by at least one other Paying Agent; or

(h) any combination of items (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g),

nor will such Additional Amounts be paid to any Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of the Note to the extent a settlor or beneficiary with respect to the fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner of the Note would not have been entitled to payment of the Additional Amounts had the beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the Holder of the Note.

For purposes of the definition of, and the Company’s obligation to pay, Additional Amounts, the term “United States” means the United States of America (including the District of Columbia) and its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction.

If the Notes of a series or Tranche provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series or Tranche of Notes and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal of or interest on the Notes of that series or Tranche if there has been a change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Company Order, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the principal Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, a Company Order instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent whether such payment of principal of or interest on the Notes of that series or Tranche shall be made to holders of the Notes of that series or Tranche without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes. If any such withholding or deduction shall be required, then such Company Order shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld or deducted on such payments to such holders and shall certify the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable to each holder, and the Company shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required to be paid by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Company Order furnished pursuant to this Section.

Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any interest or any other amounts on, or in respect of, any Note of any series or Tranche, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series or Tranche established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding the payment of Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

SECTION 4.02 PAYING AGENTS. The Company shall maintain one or more Paying Agents for the payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes of each series, or Tranche within a series, as provided in the terms of the Notes of such series or Tranche. The Company agrees to keep the Trustee advised of the name and location of each Paying Agent if such Paying Agent is not the Trustee. The Paying Agents shall arrange for the payment, from funds furnished by the Company pursuant to this Indenture, of the principal and interest with respect to the Notes. In case the Company shall fail to maintain any such paying agency for the Notes, or shall fail to give the Trustee notice of the name or location thereof or of any change in the name or location thereof, such paying agency shall be located at the Corporate Trust Office.

The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as the Company’s Paying Agent for the Notes (the “Paying Agent,” which term shall include any successor as Paying Agent for the Notes). The Company reserves the right, subject to the terms of the Notes of any series, or Tranche within a series, to terminate any such appointment at any time as to such series or Tranche and to appoint any other Paying Agents in respect of the Notes of such series or Tranche in such places as it may deem appropriate.

SECTION 4.03 PROVISIONS AS TO PAYING AGENTS. (a) Whenever the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series or Tranche within a series, it will cause such 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:

(1) that it will hold sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes of such series or Tranche (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor on the Notes of such series or Tranche) in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes of such series or Tranche entitled thereto, and will notify the Trustee of the receipt of sums to be so held,

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

(3) that during the continuance of any failure by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes of that series or Tranche) to make any payment in respect of the Notes of that series or Tranche, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Notes of that series or Tranche.

(b) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series, or Tranche(s) within a series, of Notes hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for such series

31

or Tranche(s) by it or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

(c) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Sections 13.03 and 13.04.

(d) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series or Tranche of Notes, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or any interest on any of the Notes of that series or Tranche, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any 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.

(e) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Notes or Tranche(s) within a series of Notes, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on any Notes of that series or Tranche, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

SECTION 4.04 OFFICES FOR NOTICES, ETC. As long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company will designate and maintain an office or agency where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as provided in this Indenture and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes or of this Indenture may be served, other than demands for payment. The Company will give to the Trustee notice of the name and location of each such office or agency and of any change in the name or location thereof. In case the Company shall fail to maintain any such office or agency, or shall fail to give such notice of the name or location or of any change in the name or location thereof, such notices and demands may be served at the Corporate Trust Office.

The Company hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as the office of the Company where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as provided in this Indenture and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes or of this Indenture may be served.

NOTEHOLDER LISTS AND REPORTS

BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 5.01 NOTEHOLDER LISTS. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

(1) 15 days after each Regular Record Date, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders

32

of Notes of each series, or each Tranche within each series, as of such Regular Record Date, and

(2) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished; excluding from any such list names and addresses received by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar.

SECTION 5.02 RESERVATION AND DISCLOSURE OF LISTS.

(a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the holders of each series of Notes (i) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01, (ii) received by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar or a Paying Agent or (iii) filed with it within the preceding two years pursuant to Section 5.04(c). The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

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

(1) afford to such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, or

(2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of holders of Notes of such series or all Notes, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Noteholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

If the Trustee shall elect not to afford to such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each holder of Notes of such series or all Notes, as the case may be, whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a

33

tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interests of the holders of Notes of such series or all Notes, as the case may be, or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met, and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

(c) Each and every holder of Notes, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, or any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the holders of Notes in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b).

REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.

SECTION 6.01 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The following shall constitute Events of Default with respect to a particular series of Notes:

(a) default in the payment of the principal of any of the Notes of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or

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

(c) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company in the Notes of such series, or any Tranche of such series, or in this Indenture (other than a covenant a default in whose performance or whose breach which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Notes other than that series) for a period of thirty days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series at the time outstanding; or

36

(d) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or for any substantial part 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 60 consecutive days; or

(e) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or for any substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

If an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) shall have occurred and be continuing and in each and every such case, unless the principal amount of all the Notes of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all series affected thereby then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Noteholders) may declare the principal amount of all the Notes (or, with respect to Discount Notes, the Amortized Face Amount thereof or such other amount as may be specified in the terms of such Notes) of the series affected thereby to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision of this Indenture or the Notes of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default described in clause (d) or (e) shall have occurred and be continuing, and in each case, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than twenty-five per cent in aggregate principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding hereunder (voting as one class), by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by holders of Notes), may declare the principal of all the Notes not already due and payable (or, with respect to Discount Notes, the Amortized Face Amount thereof or such other amount as may be specified in the terms of such Notes) to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes of any one or more or all series, as the case may be, shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, if any, due upon all the Notes of such series or of all the Notes, as the case may be, and the principal of all Notes of such series or of all the Notes, as the case may be (or, with respect to Discount Notes, the Amortized Face Amount thereof or such other amount as may be specified in the terms of such Notes), which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest, if any, upon such principal) and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue

37

installments of interest, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the applicable Notes, as the case may be (or, with respect to Discount Notes at the rate specified or provided for in the terms of such Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration of such series, as the case may be), to the date of such payment or deposit, and such amount as shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and any and all defaults under the Indenture applicable to the Notes of such series (or all of the Notes, as the case may be) shall have been remedied, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series (or of all the Notes, as the case may be) then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to that series or with respect to all Notes, as the case may be, and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. If the principal of all Notes shall have been declared to be payable pursuant to this Section 6.01, in determining whether the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount thereof have waived all defaults and rescinded and annulled such declaration, all series of Notes shall be treated as a single class and the principal amount of Discount Notes shall be deemed to be the amount declared payable under the terms applicable to such Discount Notes.

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 and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Noteholders, as the case may be, shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the Noteholders, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

SECTION 6.02 PAYMENT OF NOTES ON DEFAULT; SUIT THEREFOR. The Company covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Notes of any series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty days or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of any of the Notes of any series, as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of such Notes or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of such Notes, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Notes of such series for principal or interest, if any, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified or provided for in such Notes (or, with respect to Discount Notes, at the rate specified in the terms of such Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration); and, in addition thereto, such further amounts as shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06.

38

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 Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon such Notes wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor upon Notes of any series under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Notes of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal (or, with respect to Discount Notes, the Amortized Face Amount thereof or such other portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes of such series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee under Section 7.06 and of the holders of Notes of such series allowed in any such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the Notes of such series, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the holders of such series and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of Notes of such series to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to such holders of Notes of such series, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes 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.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes of any series may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Notes, or the production thereof on any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own

39

name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes of such series.

In case of an Event of Default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

SECTION 6.03 APPLICATION OF MONEYS COLLECTED BY TRUSTEE. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 with respect to a series of Notes shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in the case of the distribution of such moneys on account of principal or interest, if any, upon presentation of the several Notes of such series, as the case may be, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06;

SECOND: In case the principal of the Notes in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become due, to the payment of interest, if any, on the Notes of such series 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) upon the overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest, if any, specified or provided for in the Notes of such series (or, with respect to Discount Notes, at the rate specified in the terms of such Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration), such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; and

THIRD: In case the principal of the Notes in respect of which moneys have been collected shall have become due, by acceleration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Notes of such series for principal, interest, if any, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Notes of such series (or, with respect to Discount Notes, at the rate specified or provided for in the terms of such Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration); and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Notes of such series, then to the payment of such principal, interest, if any, without preference or priority of principal over interest, if any, or of interest, if any, over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest or of any Note of such series over any other Note of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

SECTION 6.04 PROCEEDINGS BY NOTEHOLDERS. No holder of any Note of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (a) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided; (b) the holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder; (c) such holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; (d) the Trustee for sixty days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings; and (e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Note with every other taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Notes of any series, shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing himself of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other holder of Notes of such series, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Notes of such series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Noteholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right of any holder of any Note to receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder. With respect to Discount Notes, principal shall mean the Amortized Face Amount thereof or such other amount as shall be due and payable as specified in the terms of the Notes.

SECTION 6.05 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE AND CONTINUING. All powers and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the holders of Notes shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or such holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Notes, if any, to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to such holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such holders.

41

SECTION 6.06 DIRECTION OF PROCEEDINGS AND WAIVER OF DEFAULT. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any or all series affected (voting as one class) at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes of such series; provided, however, that (subject to the provisions of Section 7.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceedings so directed may not lawfully be taken or shall be in conflict with this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or executive committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or a responsible officer shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Notes of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes of such series waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except a default in the payment of principal of or interest, if any, on any Notes of such series. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.06, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes of such series and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.

SECTION 6.07 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default with respect to any series of Notes, give to the holders of Notes of such series notice of all defaults known to a responsible officer of the Trustee in the manner set forth in Section 1.02 and also by mail in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313 (c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 with respect to reports pursuant to Section 5.04(a), unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “default” or “defaults” for the purposes of this Section being hereby defined to be any event or events, as the case may be, specified in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 6.01, not including periods of grace, if any, provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of the notice specified in clause (c) of Section 6.01); provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any of the Notes of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors or executive committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of Notes of such series.

SECTION 6.08 UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the

42

Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any holder of Notes of any series, or group of such holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Notes of such series outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any holder of Notes of such series appertaining thereto, for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on any Note on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note.

ARTICLE SEVEN

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of which a responsible officer has knowledge with respect to Notes of a particular series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to Notes of such series which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to Notes of a particular series has occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

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

(1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to Notes of such series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

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

43

examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or officers, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the holders of Notes pursuant to Section 6.06 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and

(d) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed as requiring the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

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

SECTION 7.02 RELIANCE ON DOCUMENTS, OPINIONS, ETC. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01:

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

(b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Order; and any Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;

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

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

44

(e) 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 or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company pertaining to the Notes, personally or by agent or attorney;

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

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

SECTION 7.03 NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECITALS, ETC. The recitals contained herein and in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes provided that the Trustee shall not be relieved of its duty to authenticate Notes only as authorized by this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Notes or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 7.04 OWNERSHIP OF NOTES. The Trustee, or any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or an agent of the Company or of the Trustee.

SECTION 7.05 MONEYS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.04 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Company, signed by an Authorized Officer.

SECTION 7.06 COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation, and, except as otherwise expressly provided, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in

45

accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all other persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled (but not obligated) to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee, its officers, directors and employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee or such officer, director and employee arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or the performance of their duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and/or the termination, satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes upon all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.06, except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes.

SECTION 7.07 OFFICER’S CERTIFICATE AS EVIDENCE. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering 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 Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

SECTION 7.08 CONFLICTING INTEREST OF TRUSTEE. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act or 1939 and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Notes of more than one series.

SECTION 7.09 ELIGIBILITY OF TRUSTEE. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, which (a) is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and (b) is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of

46

Columbia authority and (c) shall have at all times a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law, or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation 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. Neither the Company nor any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee for the Notes of any series issued hereunder. 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 Section 7.10.

SECTION 7.10 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE.

(a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Notes, or in the case of a Trustee serving as Trustee only for one or more Tranche(s) of Notes, with respect to such Tranche(s) of Notes, by giving 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 of Notes or Tranche(s) by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Company or pursuant to a Company Order, 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 and have accepted appointment within thirty days after the receipt of such notice of resignation by the Company, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any holder of Notes who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes of the applicable series or Tranche(s) for at least six months may subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

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

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.08 with respect to any series or Tranche(s) of Notes after written request therefor by the Company or by any Noteholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes of such series or Tranche(s) for at least six months, or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 with respect to any series or Tranche(s) of Notes and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Noteholder, or

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series or Tranche of Notes, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer

47

shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series or Tranche(s) of Notes and appoint a successor trustee with respect to such series or Tranche(s) by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Company or pursuant to a Company Order, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, any Noteholder of such series who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes of the applicable series or Tranche(s) for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series or Tranche(s). Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of all series (voting as one class) at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to Notes of all series and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Notes of all series.

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

(e) The Trustee shall be paid all amounts owed to it upon its removal or resignation.

SECTION 7.11 ACCEPTANCE BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 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 or Tranches 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 hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, remain the beneficiary of the lien of the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

48

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more (but not all) series or Tranches of a series, the Company, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Notes of any applicable series or Tranche 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 Notes of any series or Tranche 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. The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor trustee.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall give notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all holders of Notes of any applicable series or Tranche in the manner provided in Section 1.02. If the Company fails to give such notice in the prescribed manner within ten days after the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be so given at the expense of the Company.

SECTION 7.12 SUCCESSOR BY MERGER, ETC. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

SECTION 7.13 LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS CREDITOR. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

ARTICLE EIGHT

CONCERNING THE NOTEHOLDERS

SECTION 8.01 ACTION BY NOTEHOLDERS. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any or all 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 (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Noteholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the holders of Notes voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Noteholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Noteholders.

In determining whether the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes have taken any action (including the making of any demand or request, the waiving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the principal amount of any Discount Note that may be counted in making such determination and that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be equal to the Amortized Face Amount thereof or such other amount of the principal thereof that could be declared to be due and payable upon an Event of Default pursuant to the terms of such Discount Note at the time the taking of such action is evidenced to the Trustee.

SECTION 8.02 PROOF OF EXECUTION BY NOTEHOLDERS. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Noteholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with this Section 8.02. The fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public, or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths, that the person executing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer or by a certificate of any officer of any trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer, satisfactory to the Trustee, who witnessed such execution or in any other manner satisfactory to the Trustee. If such execution is by an officer of a corporation, association or trust, a trustee of a trust or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation, association, trust or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

The ownership of the Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.

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

50

SECTION 8.03 WHO ARE DEEMED ABSOLUTE OWNERS. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or of the Trustee may deem the holder of any Note to be, and may treat him as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note 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 interest (subject to Section 2.03) on such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or of the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon any such Note.

SECTION 8.04 COMPANY-OWNED NOTES DISREGARDED. In determining whether the holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Notes which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Notes which a responsible officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Notes and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

SECTION 8.05 REVOCATION OF CONSENTS; FUTURE NOTEHOLDERS BOUND. At any time prior to the taking of any action by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Note the identifying number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders and owners of such Note and of any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note. Any action taken by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Notes of each series affected thereby.

The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Noteholders as provided in Section 9.03, in which case the Company or the Noteholders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman.

55

each Note so affected or (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Notes, the consent of the holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the percentage required for the consent of the holders pursuant to Sections 6.01 and 6.06 to waive defaults, without the consent of the holder of each Note so affected.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE.

SECTION 11.01 COMPANY MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ON CERTAIN TERMS. The Company covenants that it will not merge or consolidate with any other corporation or sell, assign, transfer, lease or convey all or substantially all of its assets to any person unless (i) either (A) the Company shall be the continuing corporation in any such merger or consolidation, or (B) the successor corporation (if other than the Company) in any such merger or consolidation, or the entity to which all or substantially all of the Company’s assets have been sold, assigned, transferred, leased or conveyed, shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of and any interest on all the Notes, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company by supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation and (ii) the Company or such successor corporation or other entity, as the case may be, shall not, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance, be in default in the performance of any such covenant or condition, and there shall be no event resulting therefrom which, after notice or the lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default under this Indenture.

SECTION 11.02 SUCCESSOR CORPORATION TO BE SUBSTITUTED FOR COMPANY. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance and upon any such assumption by the successor corporation, or the entity to which all or substantially all of the Company’s assets have been sold, assigned, transferred, leased or conveyed, such successor corporation or other entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor corporation or entity shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes. Such successor corporation or other entity thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of John Hancock Life Insurance Company, any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation or other entity, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Notes which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes which such successor corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.

(1) (A) with respect to all outstanding Notes of such series or Tranche, either:

(i) the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount (in such currency in which such outstanding Notes are then specified as payable at stated maturity) sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness of all outstanding Notes of such series or Tranche for principal and interest,

59

if any, to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date established in accordance with this Section 13.05, as the case may be; or

(ii) the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as obligations in trust for the purpose such amount of direct noncallable obligations of, or noncallable obligations the payment of principal of and interest on which is fully guaranteed by, the United States of America, or to the payment of which obligations or guarantees the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged, maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will, together with the income to accrue thereon (but without reinvesting any proceeds thereof) and any funds or Funding Agreements deposited under clause (i) or (iii) hereof, respectively, be sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all outstanding Notes of such series or Tranche for principal and interest, if any, to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date established in accordance with this Section 13.05, as the case may be; or

(iii) the Company has (a) deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee Funding Agreements of the Company providing for, together with funds, if any, deposited under clause (i) and obligations, if any, deposited under clause (ii), the payment to the Trustee of the entire indebtedness on all outstanding Notes of such series or Tranche for principal and interest, if any, to the Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date established in accordance with this Section 13.05, as the case may be and (b) delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Funding Agreements have been duly authorized and validly issued by the Company in accordance with applicable insurance laws, are binding and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws), constitute Funding Agreements within the meaning of Section 1321 of Chapter 175 of the Massachusetts General Laws (or any successor statute) and in the event of the insolvency of the Company, the claim of the Trustee for payment pursuant to the terms of such Funding Agreements would rank pari passu with the claims of policyholders of the Company and ahead of the claims of general unsecured creditors of the Company, including the claims of holders of the Notes;

(B) the Company has properly fulfilled such other terms and conditions to the satisfaction and discharge as is specified, as contemplated by Section 2.01, as applicable to the Notes of such series, and

(2) The Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable with respect to the outstanding Notes of such series or Tranche (other than future Additional Amounts, if any), and

(3) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders of the outstanding Notes of such series or Tranche will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge or covenant defeasance, as applicable, and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the

60

same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge or covenant defeasance, as applicable, had not occurred, and

(4) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness on all outstanding Notes of any such series or Tranche or to the covenant defeasance of all outstanding Notes of such series or Tranche, as applicable, have been complied with.

Any deposits with the Trustee referred to in Section 13.05(1)(A) above shall be irrevocable and shall be made under the terms of an escrow trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee. If any outstanding Notes of such series or Tranche are to be redeemed prior to their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in accordance with any mandatory sinking fund requirement or otherwise, the applicable escrow trust agreement shall provide therefor and the Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

The Trustee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to require the Company to deliver to the Trustee the certification of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, or other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, as to the sufficiency of the deposits made by the Company pursuant to Section 13.05(1)(A) above to provide for the applicable payments specified in such Section 13.05(1)(A).

Unless otherwise provided in any Issuance Order or supplemental indenture pertaining to a series of Notes, or Tranche within a series of Notes, with respect to which the Company is obligated to pay Additional Amounts, the Company’s obligation to pay such Additional Amounts, and the Company’s redemption rights under Section 3.03 of this Indenture, shall survive any defeasance pursuant to this Section 13.05.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.05(1)(A)(ii) or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the holders of outstanding Notes.

Notwithstanding any covenant defeasance with respect to Article Eleven, any corporation or person that otherwise would have been required to assume the obligations of the Company pursuant to said Article shall be required, unless otherwise agreed by the Company or such corporation or person and the Trustee, as a condition to any merger, consolidation, sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance contemplated thereby, to assume the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.06 and the immediately preceding paragraph.

The interest so payable on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Indenture referred to below, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered (i) if such Interest Payment Date occurs on the 15^th day of a month, at the close of business on the first day (whether or not a Business Day) of the calendar month in which such Interest Payment Date occurs, (ii) if such Interest Payment Date occurs on the first day of a month, at the close of business on the 15^th day (whether or not a Business Day) of the calendar month preceding the month in which such Interest Payment Date occurs, or (iii) if such Interest Payment Date occurs on any day other than the first or 15^th day of the month, at the close of business on the 15^th day (whether or not a Business Day) preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the Regular Record Date with respect to the final Interest Payment Date will be the final Interest Payment Date.

This Global Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its [SignatureNotes^SM] (hereinafter called the “Notes”), all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 15, 2002 (herein called the “Indenture”) duly executed by the Company to JPMorgan Chase Bank, Trustee (hereinafter, together with any successor thereto, called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto or Issuance Orders relating thereto, reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee and the rights thereunder of the holders of the Notes.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Global Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Global Note at the places, at the respective times, at the rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Global Note shall be overdue), for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and (subject to Section 2.03 of the Indenture) interest hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Under certain circumstances described in the Indenture, the Company will issue Notes in definitive form in exchange for the Global Notes. In such event, an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Notes will be entitled to have Notes equal in aggregate

A-3

principal amount to such beneficial interests registered in its name and will be entitled to physical delivery of such Notes in definitive form. Notes so issued in definitive form will be issued as registered Notes without coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any amount in excess thereof that is an integral multiple of $l,000.

This Global Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws of such state.

THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of January 16, 2003, between JOHN HANCOCK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a stock life insurance company duly organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (hereinafter sometimes called the “Company”), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, a New York banking corporation, as trustee hereunder (the “Trustee”) supplements the Indenture dated as of June 15, 2002, between the parties hereto (“Indenture”). Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Indenture.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company deems it necessary to issue from time to time for its lawful purposes its Notes and has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture to provide for the issuance of Notes from time to time after the date hereof, which may bear floating rates of interest (“Floating Rate Notes”); and

WHEREAS, all acts and things necessary to constitute this Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company according to its terms, have been done and performed;

NOW, THEREFORE: In order to declare the additional terms and conditions upon which the Floating Rate Notes are issued and delivered, and in consideration of the premises, of the purchase and acceptance of the Floating Rate Notes by the holders thereof and of the sum of one dollar to it duly paid by the Trustee at the execution of these presents, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, the Company covenants and agrees with the Trustee, for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective holders from time to time of the Floating Rate Notes or, to the extent applicable, particular series or Tranches thereof, as follows:

1.    Interest Accrual and Payments. Interest on Floating Rate Notes will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and at Maturity. The dates specified in the applicable Issuance Order shall be the dates on which interest will be payable on Floating Rate Notes. If any Interest Payment Date on Floating Rate Notes, other than an Interest Payment Date at Maturity, is a day that is not a Business Day (or in the case of a Note having LIBOR as an Interest Rate Basis (as defined below) (a “LIBOR note”), a day that is not a London Business Day, as defined below), the Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (or in the case of a LIBOR note, a day that is the next succeeding London Business Day) and interest shall continue to accrue until paid or made available for payment. If the Maturity of a Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day (or in the case of a LIBOR note, a day that is the next succeeding London Business Day), the Company will make the required payment of principal and interest on the next succeeding Business Day (or in the case of a LIBOR note, a day that is the next succeeding London Business Day); however, no additional interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after the date of Maturity. However, in the case of a LIBOR note only, if an Interest Payment Date or

payment at Maturity falls on a date that is not a London Business Day and the next London Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the payment date will be the immediately preceding day which is a London Business Day.

As used in this Supplemental Indenture, “London Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is both a Business Day and a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. Dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

Interest payments on each $1,000 principal amount of Floating Rate Notes will equal the amount of interest accrued from and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date in respect of which interest has been paid or made available for payment, or from and including the applicable Issue Date if no interest has been paid or made available for payment, to but excluding the related Interest Payment Date or date of Maturity date, as the case may be.

With respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Floating Rate Notes, accrued interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount by the applicable interest rate per annum, then prorating that product by the applicable Day Count Convention specified in the applicable Issuance Order. For example, in the case of Treasury Rate notes, if the applicable Day Count Convention is specified as “Actual/365 (Fixed),” then the product obtained by multiplying the principal amount by the applicable interest rate per annum would be multiplied, in turn, by the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period (as defined below) and then divided by 365. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Issuance Order, the applicable Day Count Convention, as defined below, for Treasury Rate Floating Rate Notes will be “Actual/365 (Fixed)” and the applicable Day Count Convention for CD Rate, LIBOR and Prime Rate Floating Rate Notes will be “30/360.”

Unless a different definition is specified in a particular Issuance Order, the following “Day Count Conventions” shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Actual/365 (Fixed)” means the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period divided by 365;

(ii) “Actual/Actual (Historical)” means the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period divided by 365 (or, if any portion of the applicable Interest Reset Period falls in a leap year, the sum of (A) the actual number of days in that portion of the applicable Interest Reset Period falling in a leap year divided by 366 and (B) the actual number of days in that portion of the applicable Interest Reset Period falling in a non-leap year divided by 365);

(iii) “30/360” means the number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period divided by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months (unless (a) the last day of the applicable Interest Reset Period is the 31st day of a month but the first day

2

of the applicable Interest Reset Period is a day other than the 30th or 31st day of a month, in which case the month that includes that last day shall not be considered to be shortened to a 30-day month, or (b) the last day of the applicable Interest Reset Period is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month)); and

(iv) “Actual/360” means the actual number of days in the applicable Interest Reset Period divided by 360.

If an Issuance Order specifies a Day Count Convention other than one defined above, that Issuance Order shall include the relevant definition.

2.    Interest Rates. Each $1,000 principal amount of Floating Rate Notes will bear interest from the applicable Issue Date at the applicable interest rates determined in accordance with the procedures described in this Supplemental Indenture and the applicable Issuance Order. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Issuance Order, the interest rate in effect for the period from the Issue Date to but excluding the first Interest Payment Date will be the Initial Interest Rate set forth in the applicable Issuance Order. The interest rate will be reset on each Interest Reset Date, as defined below, commencing with the first Interest Reset Date. The interest rate determined on an Interest Reset Date will be effective for the Interest Reset Period, as defined below, commencing on (and including) that day and ending on (and including) the day immediately preceding the next following Interest Reset Date.

As reset on each Interest Reset Date, the interest rate borne by each $1,000 principal amount of Floating Rate Note shall be determined by reference to the Interest Rate Basis, as defined below, specified in the applicable Issuance Order, plus or minus the Spread, as defined below, specified in the applicable Issuance Order, subject to the Maximum Interest Rate and/or Minimum Interest Rate (if any), as defined below, specified in the applicable Issuance Order.

As used in this Supplemental Indenture, the “Interest Rate Basis” means, the CD Rate, LIBOR, the Prime Rate, or the Treasury Rate, each as defined below.

As used in this Supplemental Indenture, the “Spread” means the amount (if any) of basis points which is to be added to or subtracted from the Interest Rate Basis, as specified in the applicable Issuance Order.

3.    Interest Reset Periods and Interest Reset Dates. Each applicable Issuance Order will specify whether the rate of interest on the related Floating Rate Notes will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or at another interest reset period (the “Interest Reset Period”). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Issuance Order, the Interest Reset Period for the related Floating Rate Notes shall be the period from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to but excluding the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

3

The dates specified in the applicable Issuance Order under the heading “Interest Reset Dates” are the dates on which the interest rate will be reset, and each is referred to as an “Interest Reset Date”. If any Interest Reset Date for the Floating Rate Notes would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day (or in the case of a LIBOR note, a day that is not a London Business Day), the applicable Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (or in the case of a LIBOR note, a day that is the next succeeding London Business Day). However, in the case of a LIBOR note only, if an Interest Reset Date is not a London Business Day and the next London Business Day falls in the next calendar month, the Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding day which is a London Business Day. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Issuance Order, the Interest Reset Dates will be, in the case of Floating Rate Notes that reset:

(i) daily, each Business Day;

(ii) weekly, a Business Day in each week as specified in the applicable Issuance Order;

(iii) monthly, a Business Day in each month as specified in the applicable Issuance Order;

(iv) quarterly, a Business Day in each third month as specified in the applicable Issuance Order;

(v) semi-annually, a Business Day in each sixth month as specified in the applicable Issuance Order; and

(vi) annually, a Business Day in one month each year as specified in the applicable Issuance Order.

4.    Maximum and Minimum Interest Rates. The Issuance Order applicable to each tranche of Floating Rate Notes will specify whether or not the Notes of that tranche are subject to either a maximum interest rate (“Maximum Interest Rate”) or a minimum interest rate (“Minimum Interest Rate”). If either or both apply, the Issuance Order will specify the applicable maximum and/or minimum rates.

5.    Calculation Agent. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Issuance Order, JPMorgan Chase Bank will be the calculation agent and will determine the applicable interest rate for each Interest Reset Date. Upon the request of the holder of a Floating Rate Note, the calculation agent will provide the interest rate then in effect (when available). All determinations made by the calculation agent will be at the sole discretion of the calculation agent and, absent manifest error, will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company, the Trustee and the beneficial owners of the Floating Rate Notes. All percentages resulting from any calculation on the Floating Rate Notes will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655). All dollar amounts used in or

4

resulting from this calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent with one-half cent being rounded upwards.
