SECTION 2.03. GLOBAL SECURITIES. If Securities of a series are issuable in whole or in part as Global Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 2.01 and the provisions of Section 2.04, such Global Securities shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that they shall

13

represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges or redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Direction to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04 or Section 2.07. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 and, if applicable, Section 2.07, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Global Security in the manner and upon written instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Direction. If a Company Direction pursuant to Section 2.04 or 2.07 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Global Security shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 14.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

If at any time the Depositary for the Global Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Global Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible to serve as Depositary, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Global Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Global Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election pursuant to Section 2.01 that such Securities be represented by one or more Global Securities shall no longer be effective with respect to the Global Securities of such series and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Direction for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, shall authenticate and make available for delivery Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

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

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Registered Securities issued in exchange for a

14

Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such registered Securities to, or upon the order of, the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

Unless otherwise specified by the Company pursuant to Section 2.01, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

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

SECTION 2.04. DENOMINATION, AUTHENTICATION AND DATING OF SECURITIES. The Securities of each series may be issued as registered Securities or, if provided by the terms of the instrument establishing such series of Securities, as unregistered Securities, with or without Coupons. The Securities of each series, if registered, shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the instrument establishing such series of Securities. Each Security shall be dated as of the date of its authentication.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Direction for authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and make available for delivery such Securities in accordance with such Company Direction. Prior to the issuance of Securities of any series, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon:

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

(2) an executed supplemental indenture, if any;

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

15

(4) at the option of the Company, one of the following: an Opinion of Counsel or a letter addressed to the Trustee permitting the Trustee to conclusively rely on an Opinion of Counsel, substantially to the effect that:

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

(ii) the Securities of such series have been duly authorized, and, when the Securities of such series and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall have been executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and delivered to and duly paid for by the purchasers thereof, such Securities will have been duly issued under this Indenture and will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture;

(iii) no consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company is required for the execution and delivery of the Securities of such series by the Company, except such as have been obtained, but no opinion need be expressed as to provincial or state securities or Blue Sky laws; and

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

In addition, such Opinion of Counsel shall address such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such series (A) if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken; or (B) if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series.

So long as there is no existing default in the payment of interest on registered Securities of any series, all such Securities authenticated by the Trustee after the close of business on the Record Date for the payment of interest on any Interest Payment Date relating to such

16

Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date shall bear interest from such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the Company shall default in the interest due on such Interest Payment Date, then any such Securities shall bear interest from the next preceding Interest Payment Date relating to such Security with respect to which interest has been paid or duly provided for on such Securities, or if no interest has been paid or duly provided for on such Securities, from the date from which interest shall accrue as such date is set forth in the instrument establishing the terms of such Securities.

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

SECTION 2.05. EXECUTION OF SECURITIES. The Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, shall be signed on behalf of the Company (i) by its Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, or any Vice President and (ii) by its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities and such Coupons.

Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a Trustee’s certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided in Section 2.04 (or Section 2.12, if applicable), signed manually by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication on any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

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

17

SECTION 2.06. REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. The Company shall keep, at an office or agency maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03, a register for each series of registered Securities (such register being herein referred to as the “Security Register”), in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register Securities of such series and shall register the transfer of such Securities as in this Article Two provided. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Subject to Sections 2.01 and 2.03, upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any such Security at such office or agency, or such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations, of the same series and of like aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity.

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

Subject to Sections 2.01 and 2.03, at the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for Securities of the same series of like aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity and of other authorized denominations. Securities to be so exchanged shall be surrendered at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Company as provided in Section 4.03, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

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

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

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

18

SECTION 2.07. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute and make available for delivery and the Trustee, upon Company Direction, shall authenticate and make available for delivery temporary Securities (printed, lithographed, or typewritten), of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company. Temporary Securities may be issued without a recital of the specific redemption prices, if any, applicable to such Securities, and may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. The Company shall execute and furnish definitive Securities as soon as practicable and thereupon any or all temporary Securities may be surrendered in exchange therefor at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Securities a like aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of definitive Securities of the same series. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.08. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN SECURITIES. In case any temporary or definitive Security and, in the case of a definitive Security, Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon a Company Direction the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a new Security or such Coupons of the same series bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security or such Coupons, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security or such Coupons so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case, the applicant for a substituted Security or such Coupons shall furnish to the Company and to the Security Registrar and any paying agent, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and to the Security Registrar and any paying agent, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or such Coupons and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon Company Direction. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security or such Coupons, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature or which has been called for redemption shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substituted Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the Company and any paying agent with such security or indemnity as either may require to save it harmless from all risk, however remote, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

19

Every substituted Security of any series or Coupon issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.08 by virtue of the fact that any Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series or Coupons duly issued and delivered hereunder. All Securities and Coupons shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

SECTION 2.09. CANCELLATION OF SURRENDERED SECURITIES. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, and all Coupons surrendered for payment, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation by it, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be canceled by it, and all Securities delivered to the Trustee in discharge or satisfaction in whole or in part of any Sinking Fund payment (referred to in Section 3.04) shall be canceled by the Trustee and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. By a Company Request the Trustee shall dispose of the Securities in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities or Coupons, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness or rights represented by such Securities or Coupons unless and until the same are delivered or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.10. PROVISIONS OF INDENTURE AND SECURITIES FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF THE PARTIES AND THE HOLDERS. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the Holders, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained, all its covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and the Holders.

SECTION 2.11. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2.12. AUTHENTICATING AGENTS. The Trustee shall, if requested pursuant to a Company Request, promptly appoint an agent or agents of the Trustee who shall have authority to authenticate Securities of any series in the name and on behalf of the Trustee. Such appointment by the Trustee shall be evidenced by a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer

20

of the Trustee delivered to the Company prior to the effectiveness of such appointment designating such agent or agents and stating that all appropriate corporate action has been taken by the Trustee in connection with such appointment. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent.

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

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

The Company agrees to pay to each authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

The provisions of Sections 7.03, 7.04 and 7.05 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

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

(ALTERNATE FORM OF TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF

AUTHENTICATION)

21

This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the Indenture.

SECTION 2.13. COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN LAWS AND REGULATIONS. If any unregistered Securities are to be issued in any series of Securities, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide for arrangements and procedures designed pursuant to then applicable laws and regulations, if any, to ensure that such unregistered Securities are sold or resold, exchanged, transferred and paid only in compliance with such laws and regulations and without adverse consequences to the Company, the Holders and the Trustee.

SECTION 2.14. MEDIUM-TERM SECURITIES. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Company Direction, Officers’ Certificate, supplemental indenture or Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.03, 2.04, 2.07 and Section 14.05 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued; provided that any subsequent direction by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series upon original issuance shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company that as of the date of such direction, the statements made in the Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 shall be true and correct as if made on such date.

An Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture, delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14 in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph, may provide that Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon the telephonic or written order of Persons designated in such Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture (telephonic instructions to be promptly confirmed in writing by such Person) and that such Persons are authorized to determine, consistent with such Officers’ Certificate or any applicable supplemental indenture, such terms and conditions of the Securities as are specified in such Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture.

SECTION 2.15. CUSIP NUMBERS. The Company in issuing the Securities of any series may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such

22

notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on such Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other indemnification numbers printed on such Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES - SINKING FUND

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

SECTION 3.02. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION; SELECTION OF SECURITIES. In case the Company shall be obligated, or shall exercise the right, to redeem Securities as provided for in the first sentence of Section 3.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (unless, by the terms of the instrument establishing such series of Securities or the terms of such Securities, such date is fixed) and the Company, or, upon a Company Request given to the Trustee no less than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense of the Company, shall give notice of such redemption to the Holders of the Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, with respect to registered Securities, by mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register and, with respect to unregistered Securities, by publishing in an Authorized Newspaper notice of such redemption on two separate days, each of which is not less than 30 nor more than the 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice which is mailed or published, as the case may be, in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder actually receives such notice. In any case, failure duly to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice, to the Holder of any registered Security of any series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.

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

23

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the designation of the series of the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers), the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed will be made at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice, and that, on and after such date, interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the notice to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed shall specify the Securities to be redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, such notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of the same series in authorized denominations and in a principal amount at Stated Maturity equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

If less than all the Securities of like tenor and terms of any series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee written notice, at least 60 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) in advance of the date fixed for redemption, as to the aggregate principal amount at Stated Maturity of Securities of such series to be redeemed, which shall be an integral multiple of the minimum authorized denomination of such series, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities so to be redeemed and, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part only, the principal amount at Stated Maturity so to be redeemed. If less than all the Securities of unlike tenor and terms of a series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Company, and the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 45 days before the relevant redemption date.

SECTION 3.03. WHEN SECURITIES CALLED FOR REDEMPTION BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE. If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as provided in Section 3.02, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after such date fixed for redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in such notice, such Securities shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that installments of interest becoming due on the date fixed for redemption on Securities which are in registered form shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities or of one or more previous such Securities evidencing all or a portion of the same debt as that evidenced by such particular Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 2.04.

24

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

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

(a) It will pay to the Trustee or to a paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.05) on or before each date set forth as a Sinking Fund payment date in the instrument establishing such series, a sum in cash sufficient to retire on each such date, at the Sinking Fund redemption price provided for in such instrument and upon the conditions, if any, applicable thereto as specified in such instrument, the principal amount of such Securities as specified in such instrument. Each such date is herein called a “Sinking Fund payment date”, and each sum payable as provided in this paragraph (a) is herein called a “mandatory Sinking Fund payment”.

(b) If the instrument establishing any series of Securities so provides, the Company may elect to pay to the Trustee or to a paying agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.05) on or before any Sinking Fund payment date with respect to a particular series of Securities, an additional sum in cash sufficient to retire on such Sinking Fund payment date, at the Sinking Fund redemption price, up to any additional principal amount of Securities set forth in such instrument. Any sum payable as provided in this paragraph (b) is herein called an “optional Sinking Fund payment”. Any such election by the Company shall be evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate (which shall conform to Section 14.05), delivered to the Trustee not later than 60 days (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) preceding such Sinking Fund payment date, which Officers’ Certificate shall set forth the amount of the optional Sinking Fund payment which the Company then elects to pay. The Company’s election, so evidenced, shall be irrevocable and the Company shall, upon delivery of such Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee, become bound to pay or segregate and hold in trust as aforesaid on or before such Sinking Fund payment date the amount specified in such Officers’ Certificate. Unless otherwise provided in the instrument establishing such series, any such right to make an

25

optional Sinking Fund payment shall be noncumulative and shall in no event relieve the Company of its obligation set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.04.

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

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

SECTION 3.06. EFFECT OF FAILURE TO DELIVER OFFICERS’ CERTIFICATE OR SECURITIES. In case of a failure of the Company, at or before the time provided in Section 3.05, to deliver an Officers’ Certificate, together with any Securities of the particular series required by Section 3.05, the Company shall not be permitted to make any such reduction of the amount of the Sinking Fund payment with respect to such series payable on such Sinking Fund payment date.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the amount of cash to be paid into any Sinking Fund with respect to a particular series of Securities on any next succeeding Sinking Fund payment date for such series, together with any unused balance of any preceding Sinking

26

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

SECTION 3.08. SINKING FUND MONEYS TO BE HELD AS SECURITY DURING CONTINUANCE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT; EXCEPTIONS. Unless all Securities of any series then Outstanding are to be redeemed, neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall redeem any Securities of such series with Sinking Fund moneys if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such paying agent at the time shall have actual knowledge of the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to such series, except that where the mailing or publication of notice of redemption of any such Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee or any paying agent, if sufficient funds shall have been deposited with it for such purpose, shall redeem such Securities. However, the Company itself shall not redeem any such Securities with Sinking Fund moneys during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to such series. The Trustee shall not mail or publish any notice of redemption if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the time shall have actual knowledge of the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to such series. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the Sinking Fund with respect to such series at such time and any moneys thereafter paid into the Sinking Fund shall during such continuance be held as security for the payment of all Securities of that series; provided, however, that in case such Event of Default with respect to such series shall have been waived as permitted by this Indenture or otherwise cured, such moneys shall thereafter be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Article Three.

Subject to Article XI, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 4.02. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL OF (AND PREMIUM, IF ANY) AND INTEREST, IF ANY, ON SECURITIES. The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Securities of each series at the place, at the time or times and in the manner provided in the instrument establishing such series and in the Securities of such series. The interest on the Securities, if any, shall be payable (subject to the provisions of Section 2.04) only to or upon the written order of the Holders thereof or, in the case of unregistered Securities with Coupons, the Holders of Coupons relating thereto. Any installment of interest on registered Securities of any series may at the Company’s option be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.04 to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by such Person at least 15 days prior to the relevant payment date.

SECTION 4.03. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICES OR AGENCIES FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE AND PAYMENT OF SECURITIES. As long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding, the Company will maintain one or more offices or agencies in Chicago, Illinois or New York, New York, or at such other locations as the Company may from time to time designate for any series of Securities, where such Securities may be presented for registration of transfer and exchange as in this Indenture provided, where such Securities may be presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of such Securities or of this Indenture may be served. The Trustee shall be the agent of the Company in the city in which the Corporate Trust Office is located for all of the foregoing purposes unless the Company shall designate and maintain some other office and agency for such purposes and give the Trustee written notice of the location thereof. The Company will give to the Trustee notice of the location of each such office or agency and of any change of location thereof.

SECTION 4.04. APPOINTMENT TO FILL A VACANCY IN THE OFFICE OF TRUSTEE. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee for any one or more series of Securities, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.11, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities hereunder.

SECTION 4.05. DUTIES AND RIGHTS OF PAYING AGENTS; COMPANY AS PAYING AGENT. (a) The Company shall cause each paying agent, if any, other than the Trustee, for any series of Securities, to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.05, that such agent will:

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

28

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

(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held by it as such agent.

Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of such series, deposit with such paying agent or agents a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest on such Securities so becoming due.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest on such Securities so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure by the Company to take such action or the failure by any other obligor on the Securities of such series to make any payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable.

(c) Anything in this Section 4.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section 4.05, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying agent.

(d) Anything in this Section 4.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 4.05 is subject to the provisions of Sections 12.04 and 12.05.

SECTION 4.06. LIMITATION ON SECURED DEBT. So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company will not, nor will the Company permit any Tax Consolidated Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly create or incur any Secured Debt without in any such case effectively providing concurrently with the creation or incurrence of any such Secured Debt that the Securities then outstanding (together with, if the Company shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of or guaranteed by the Company ranking equally with the Securities and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or, at the option of the Company, prior to) such Secured Debt, unless immediately after the incurrence of such Secured Debt (and after giving effect to the application of proceeds therefrom), the aggregate principal

29

amount of all such Secured Debt, together with the aggregate amount of Capitalized Rent in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (other than Sale and Leaseback Transactions described in clauses (a) to (e), inclusive, of Section 4.07), would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded in computing Secured Debt for the purpose of such restrictions, Permitted Encumbrances.

SECTION 4.07. LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS. So long as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company will not, nor will the Company permit any Tax Consolidated Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless immediately thereafter (and after giving effect to the application of proceeds therefrom), the aggregate amount of Capitalized Rent in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions, together with the aggregate principal amount of all Secured Debt (other than Permitted Encumbrances) would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded in computing the aggregate amount of Capitalized Rent for the purpose of such restrictions, the following Sale and Leaseback Transactions:

(a) any Sale and Leaseback Transaction entered into to finance the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of property acquired or constructed by the Company or a Tax Consolidated Subsidiary (including any improvements to existing property) or entered into prior to, at the time of or within 270 days after the acquisition or construction of such property, which Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase or construction price thereof; provided, however, that in the case of any such acquisition, such Sale and Leaseback Transaction shall not involve any property transferred by the Company or a Tax Consolidated Subsidiary to a Subsidiary of the Company (other than a Tax Consolidated Subsidiary) in contemplation of or in connection with such Sale and Leaseback Transaction or involve any property of the Company or a Tax Consolidated Subsidiary other than the property so acquired (other than, in the case of construction or improvement, any theretofore unimproved real property or portion thereof on which the property so constructed, or the improvement, is located);

(b) any Sale and Leaseback Transaction involving property of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Tax Consolidated Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a Person as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or a Tax Consolidated Subsidiary;

(c) any Sale and Leaseback Transaction in which the lessor is a government or governmental entity and which Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into to secure partial progress, advance or other payments, or other

30

obligations, pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any Indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction (including, without limitation, Sale and Leaseback Transactions incurred in connection with pollution control, industrial revenue, private activity bond or similar financing);

(d) any Sale and Leaseback Transaction involving the extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of a lease pursuant to a Sale and Leaseback Transaction referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) to (c), inclusive; provided, however, that such lease extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or any part of the same property leased under the lease so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements to such property); and

(e) any Sale and Leaseback Transaction the net proceeds of which are at least equal to the fair value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the property leased pursuant to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, so long as within 120 days of the effective date of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company or a Tax Consolidated Subsidiary applies (or irrevocably commits to an escrow account for the purpose or purposes hereinafter mentioned) an amount equal to the net proceeds of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction to either (x) the purchase of other property having a fair value at least equal to the fair value of the property leased in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction and having a similar utility and function, or (y) the retirement or repayment (other than any mandatory retirement or repayment at maturity) of (i) Securities, (ii) other Funded Debt of the Company which ranks prior to or on a parity with the Securities or (iii) indebtedness of any Subsidiary of the Company maturing by its terms more than one year from its date of issuance (notwithstanding that any portion of such indebtedness is included in current liabilities) or preferred stock of any Subsidiary of the Company (other than any such indebtedness owed to or preferred stock owned by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company); provided, however, that in lieu of applying an amount equivalent to all or any part of such net proceeds to such retirement or repayment (or committing such an amount to an escrow account for such purpose), the Company may deliver to the Trustee outstanding Notes and thereby reduce the amount to be applied pursuant to (y) of this clause (e) by an amount equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes so delivered.

SECTION 4.08. ANNUAL CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE. On or before April 30 in each year (commencing April 30, 2000), the Company will furnish the Trustee with an officers’ certificate (executed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company and by the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company), covering the period during the preceding

31

year that any Securities were Outstanding, certifying that after reasonable investigation and inquiry the Company has complied with all conditions and covenants contained in this Indenture or, if such is not the case, setting forth with reasonable particularity the circumstances of any failure so to comply and the steps taken or proposed to be taken to eliminate such failure. Such determination shall be made without regard to periods of grace or notice requirements.

SECTION 4.09. FURTHER INSTRUMENTS AND ACTS. The Company will, upon request of the Trustee, execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may reasonably be necessary or proper to carry out more effectually the purposes of this Indenture, including Sections 4.06 and 4.07.

SECTION 4.10. CALCULATION OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT. The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 5.01. COMPANY TO FURNISH TRUSTEE INFORMATION AS TO NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF HOLDERS. The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

(1) semi-annually, not later than January 1 and July 1 in each year, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of registered Securities of each series as of the preceding December 15 or June 15, as the case may be; 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 in similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the date such list is furnished;

provided, however, that so long as the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar for any series and all of the Securities of such series are registered Securities, no such list shall be required to be furnished with respect to such series.

32

SECTION 5.02. PRESERVATION OF INFORMATION; COMMUNICATIONS TO HOLDERS. (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 registered Securities of each series (i) contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 5.01, (ii) received by it in the capacity of Security Registrar for such series, if so acting, and (iii) filed with it within the two preceding years pursuant to Section 5.04 (c)(ii). The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it with respect to Securities of any Series as provided in Section 5.01 upon receipt of a new list with respect to such series so furnished.

(b) If three or more Holders (in this Section referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security 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 the other Holders of the Securities of a particular series (in which case the applicants must all hold Securities of such series) or with the Holders of the Securities of all series with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under such Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either

(i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 5.02(a), or

(ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of registered Securities of such series or of all registered Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 5.02(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such application.

If the Trustee shall elect not to afford to such applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder of registered Securities of such series or to each Holder of registered Securities of all series, as the case may be, whose name and address shall appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 5.02(a), a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material 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 SEC, together with a copy of the material proposed 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 registered Securities of such series or of all series, 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 SEC, 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

33

order sustaining one or more of such objections, the SEC shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

(c) Every Holder of the Securities and the Coupons, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance with Section 5.02(b), 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 Section 5.02(b).

SECTION 5.03. REPORTS BY COMPANY. The Company shall:

(a) file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company is required to file the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such sections, then it shall file with the Trustee and the SEC, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in respect of a debt security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations;

(b) file with the Trustee and the SEC, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

(c) transmit by mail to all Holders, within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 5.04, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to clauses (1) and (2) of this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

34

SECTION 5.04. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Trustee and its actions under this Indenture as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto.

The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

36

(8) any other Event of Default provided in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of such series of Securities as provided in Section 2.01 or in the form or forms of Security for such series.

SECTION 6.02. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01 shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securities of any series, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by such Holders), may declare the entire principal of (and premium, if any, on) all the Securities of such series then Outstanding and the interest accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

The preceding paragraph is subject, however, to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Securities of one or more series 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 upon all the Securities of such series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) all the Securities of such series which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest (or at the yield to Stated Maturity, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series, to the date of such payment or deposit) and such additional amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and if any and all Events of Default under this Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) the Securities of such series which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein — then, and in each and every such case, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of such affected series then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults or breaches with respect to such series and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or breach or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration shall have been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall

37

be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such declaration; and payment of the portion of the principal thereof as shall have become due and payable as a result of such declaration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.

SECTION 6.03. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. The Company covenants that if:

(1) default shall be made in the payment of any interest on any of the Securities of any series when and as such interest shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or

(2) default shall be made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity thereof or otherwise,

the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to or deposit with the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities, including all Coupons appertaining thereto, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest (with interest to the date of such payment upon overdue principal and premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest (or at the yield to Stated Maturity, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series to the date of such payment or deposit); and, in addition thereto, such additional amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, except those incurred as a result of any such person’s negligence or bad faith.

Until such demand shall be made by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of such series to the Holders of such Series.

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

If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the

38

rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 6.04. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of any series or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest (or if the Securities of any series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of each series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

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

and any custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, except as a result of negligence or bad faith, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee, except in accordance with action taken under Article Nine, to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

39

SECTION 6.05. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture, or under the Securities of any series or any Coupons appertaining thereto, may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series or such Coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and Coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto in respect to which action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities or Coupons parties to any such proceedings.

SECTION 6.06. APPLICATION OF MONEYS COLLECTED. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of the Securities of any series shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in the case of any distribution of such moneys on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of such series, upon presentation of the several Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto in respect of which moneys have been collected and the notation thereon of such distribution if such principal, premium and interest be only partially paid or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07;

SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities of such series shall not then be due and payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities 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 (or yield to Stated Maturity, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without preference or priority;

THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such series shall then be due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with interest upon overdue principal and premium, and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest (or yield to Stated Maturity, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the

40

whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal, premium and interest, without preference or priority of principal or premium over interest, or of interest over principal or premium, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal, premium and interest; and

FOURTH: To the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.

SECTION 6.07. LIMITATION ON SUITS. Subject to Section 6.08, no Holder of any Security of any series or of any Coupon shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(1) such Holder shall have previously given written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series;

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

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

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

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

41

SECTION 6.08. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or any provision of any Security of any series, the Holder of a Security of any series or Coupon appertaining thereto shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security or Coupon on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or Coupon or, in the case of redemption, on the date of redemption, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.09. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. In case the Trustee or any Holder shall have proceeded to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then, and in every such case, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder; and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

SECTION 6.10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons in the last paragraph of Section 2.08, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 6.11. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of Securities or Coupons to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 6.12. CONTROL BY HOLDERS. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series affected then 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 Securities of such series, provided that:

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

42

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

(3) subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee need not take any action which might involve the Trustee in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of the Securities of the affected series not joining in the giving of such direction.

SECTION 6.13. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Prior to the declaration of acceleration of the Maturity of any Securities of any series as provided by Section 6.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time Outstanding with respect to which a default or breach or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default or breach or Event of Default and its consequences, except a default or breach or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series.

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

SECTION 6.14. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security or Coupon by acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, of the Securities of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including interest evidenced by a Coupon) on any Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or Coupon or, in the case of redemption, on or after the date of redemption.

SECTION 6.15. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Company covenants (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so)

43

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

ARTICLE SEVEN

THE TRUSTEE

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

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

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

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

(2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);

44

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

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith relating to Securities of any series in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series under this Indenture.

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

SECTION 7.02. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give notice of all defaults with respect to the Securities of such series actually known to any Responsible Officer of the Trustee (i) if any unregistered Securities of such series are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, (ii) if any unregistered Securities of such series are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.04(c)(ii) by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses and (iii) if any registered Securities of such series are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register, unless in each case such defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund or analogous payment with respect to the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 6.01(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to the Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event or condition which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

45

SECTION 7.03. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

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

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

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

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

(f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, approval or other paper or document, but the Trustee may, in its discretion reasonably exercised, make further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney, during the Company’s regular business hours, unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of any series then Outstanding; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture,

46

the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so proceeding; provided further that the Trustee shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

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

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

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

SECTION 7.04. TRUSTEE NOT LIABLE FOR RECITALS IN INDENTURE OR IN SECURITIES. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities of any series. The Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture and perform its obligations hereunder. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities of any series or of the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 7.05. TRUSTEE, PAYING AGENT OR SECURITY REGISTRAR MAY OWN SECURITIES. Subject to Sections 7.09 and 7.14, the Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar with respect to any series of Securities, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities of such series with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar with respect to such Securities.

SECTION 7.06. MONEYS RECEIVED BY TRUSTEE TO BE HELD IN TRUST. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.04 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company. So long as no Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon a Company Direction.

47

SECTION 7.07. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT. The Company covenants and agrees: (a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as shall be agreed in writing from time to time between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any provisions of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); (b) except as otherwise expressly provided, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, attorneys and counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith; and (c) to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) of liability in the premises. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to a lien in favor of the Holders, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled to, but shall have no obligation whatsoever to, make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon.

SECTION 7.08. RIGHT OF TRUSTEE TO RELY ON AN OFFICERS’ CERTIFICATE WHERE NO OTHER EVIDENCE SPECIFICALLY PRESCRIBED. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

SECTION 7.09. DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, 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 and this Indenture.

SECTION 7.10. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; REQUIREMENTS FOR ELIGIBILITY. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under Section 310(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the

48

requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee. 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 7.11.

SECTION 7.11. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the Successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirement of Section 7.12.

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.12 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series at the expense of the Company.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding by written notice delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.12 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(d) If, at any time,

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.09(a) with respect to the Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months; or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or

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

49

then, in any such case (i) the Company by a Certified Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities of any or all series, as appropriate or (ii) subject to Section 6.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of an affected series for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all other Holders similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Certified Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of such series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to other Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.12. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.12, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company with respect to the Securities of such series. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 7.12, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all other Holders similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series (i) if any unregistered Securities of any affected series are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof by publication of such notice at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, (ii) if any unregistered Securities of any affected series are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.04 by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses (and the Trustee shall make such addresses available to the Company for such purpose) and (iii) if any registered Securities of any affected series are then Outstanding, to the Holders thereof by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. If the Company shall fail to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

50

SECTION 7.12. ACCEPTANCE BY SUCCESSOR TO TRUSTEE. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series, each successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee with respect to such applicable series of the Securities shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to such applicable series; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall upon payment of its charges then unpaid, execute, acknowledge and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(c) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but less than all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute, acknowledge and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto in which each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which shall (i) contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of each series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to the Securities of all series, contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of the series as to which the retiring Trustee shall not be retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (iii) add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to the extent necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of

51

such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of each series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, and such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to each successor trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates.

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

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

SECTION 7.13. SUCCESSOR TO TRUSTEE BY MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO BUSINESS. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified otherwise and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

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

SECTION 7.14. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

SECTION 7.15. APPOINTMENT OF ADDITIONAL AND SEPARATE TRUSTEES. Whenever the Trustee shall deem it necessary in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction, or the Trustee shall be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is necessary and in the interest of the Holders of Securities of any series or in the event that the Trustee shall have been requested to do so by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series then Outstanding, the Trustee and the Company shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto and all other instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more Persons appointed by the Company, either to act as additional trustee or trustees hereunder, jointly with the Trustee, or to act as separate trustee or trustees hereunder, in any such case with such powers with respect to the affected series of Securities as may be provided in such indenture supplemental hereto, and to vest in such bank, trust company or Person as such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be, any property, title, right or power of the Trustee with respect to the affected series of Securities deemed necessary or advisable by the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section below set forth. In the event the Company shall not have joined in the execution of such indenture supplemental hereto within ten days after the receipt of a written request from the Trustee so to do, or in case an Event of Default with respect to the particular series of Securities shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section without the concurrence of the Company; and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section in either of such contingencies. The Trustee may execute, deliver and perform any deed, conveyance, assignment or other instrument in writing as may be required by any additional trustee or separate trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it any property, title, right or powers with respect to the affected series of Securities conveyed or conferred to or upon such additional trustee or separate trustee, and the Company shall, upon the Trustee’s request, join therein and execute, acknowledge and deliver the same; and the Company hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Trustee its agent and attorney-in-fact for it and in its name, place and stead to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such deed, conveyance, assignment or other instrument with respect to the affected series of Securities in the event that the Company shall not itself execute and deliver the same within ten days after receipt by it of such request so to do. Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in effect as of the date of such supplemental indenture.

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

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

53

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

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

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

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

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

54

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

Each additional trustee and separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall be subject to, and shall have the benefit of, Articles Six, Seven (other than Section 7.10) and Eight hereof and the following Sections of this Indenture shall be specifically applicable to each additional trustee and separate trustee: 5.04(a) (except to the extent that reference therein is made to its eligibility under Section 7.10) and (b), 6.03, 7.01, 7.02, 7.09 and 7.14; provided, however, that no resignation of an additional or separate trustee pursuant to Section 7.11 hereof shall be conditioned in any sense whatever upon the appointment of a successor to such trustee.

ARTICLE EIGHT

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

SECTION 8.01. EVIDENCE OF ACTION BY HOLDERS. (a) Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount Outstanding of the Securities of any series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of such Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of such Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of such Holders.

SECTION 8.02. PROOF OF EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENTS AND OF HOLDING OF SECURITIES. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.03 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee.

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

The ownership of an unregistered Security or any Coupon attached to such Security at its issuance shall be proved by the production of such Security or Coupon, or, with respect to unregistered Securities only, by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, broker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to

55

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

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

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

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

SECTION 8.04. SECURITIES OWNED BY COMPANY OR CONTROLLED OR CONTROLLING COMPANIES DISREGARDED FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount Outstanding of Securities of any series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities of such series which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purposes of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities of such series which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities of such series so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of such series or a

56

person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection for the Trustee.

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

58

Section 9.03, in which case the Company or such Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

SECTION 10.01. PURPOSES FOR WHICH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES MAY BE ENTERED INTO WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS. The Company, when authorized by a Certified Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for one or more of the following purposes:

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

(b) to appoint one or more additional or separate trustees to act under this Indenture in the manner and to the extent contemplated by Section 7.15;

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

60

(d) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision unless such change or elimination would not adversely affect such provision as applied to such Securities created prior to the execution of such supplemented indenture.

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

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

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

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

(i) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.15.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.03, may regard an Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture with respect to any series of Securities complies with the provisions of this Article Ten.

61

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

SECTION 10.02. MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY IN PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF SECURITIES. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by a Certified Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto with respect to Securities of the particular series (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture relating to such series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of the particular series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the Stated Maturity of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of any interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of Stated Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02, or change the currency or currency unit in which any Security is payable, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities of any series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Securities of each affected series.

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

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

62

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

Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.02, the Company shall mail a notice thereof by first-class mail to the Holders of registered Securities of each series affected thereby at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register for such Securities, or, in the case of unregistered Securities, shall give notice in the manner provided in Section 5.04 hereof, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Company to provide such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

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

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.03, may regard an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture with respect to any series of Securities complies with the provisions of this Article Ten, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

SECTION 10.04. SECURITIES MAY BEAR NOTATION OF CHANGES BY SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution, pursuant to the provisions of this Article Ten, of any supplemental indenture with respect to any series of Securities may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in the form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. New Securities of the affected series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors of the Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture with respect to such series of Securities may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of the particular series then Outstanding.

64

Securities which previously should have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such successor corporation or entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such sale or conveyance, but not any such lease, the Company or any successor corporation or entity which shall theretofore have such in the manner described in this Article Eleven shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may be dissolved and liquidated.
