(b) Any certificate, statement or opinion of an Authorized Officer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless such Authorized Officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representation with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion is based is erroneous. Any certificate, statement or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, as the case may be, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate, statement or opinion or representation with respect to such matters is erroneous.

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

(b) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.

Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities

If the Company shall establish, pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 3.01, that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 3.03, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Global Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction, and (iv) shall bear a legend to substantially the following effect:

“THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY IS EXCHANGEABLE FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR ITS NOMINEE ONLY IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE AND, UNLESS AND UNTIL IT IS EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR SECURITIES IN DEFINITIVE REGISTERED FORM, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITARY TO THE NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY OR BY THE

DEPOSITARY OR ANY SUCH NOMINEE TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY OR TO A NOMINEE OF SUCH SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY.”

Each Depositary designated pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 3.01 for a Global Security to be delivered in the United States must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series, or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the 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 3.01(N) shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series and the Company shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver as specified in such written order(s), Securities of such series in definitive form and 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 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 shall execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, shall authenticate and deliver as specified in such written order(s), Securities of such series in definitive form and 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.

If specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,

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

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

In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations.

Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to Section 3.05 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Security Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Depositary Custodian with respect to the Global Securities. The Company has entered into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form provided by the Depositary and the Trustee and each agent of the Company or the Trustee are hereby authorized to act in accordance with such letter and Applicable Procedures.

No Officers’ Certificate may affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise with respect to any series of Securities except as it may agree in writing.

3.02

Denominations.

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities, and except as provided in Section 3.03, the Securities of each series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the Authorized Officers executing the same may determine with the reasonable approval of the Trustee.

3.03

Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer. Such signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such Authorized Officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.

Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

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

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication. The Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by an Authorized Officer, or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee and such recipients, without any further action by the

Company. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the documents specified in Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, and in addition:

(A) the instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and terms of the Securities of such series, as provided in Sections 2.01 and 3.01;

(B) an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 1.02, to the following effect, which Opinion of Counsel may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as such counsel shall deem appropriate:

(i) the forms and terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with Section 2.01 and Section 3.01 of this Indenture;

(ii) all conditions precedent set forth in Sections 2.01, 3.01 and 3.03 of this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been complied with; and

(iii) such Securities when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits provided by this Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series if the Trustee reasonably determines that such action may not lawfully be taken, would expose the Trustee to personal liability or would add to the obligations and duties of the Trustee hereunder in any material respect. In addition, prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of a series to be issued which is denominated in a Foreign Currency or currency unit the Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such series if the Trustee determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be able to properly fulfill its obligations hereunder in respect of such Securities or to do so would be unduly burdensome to the Trustee.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.03, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate(s) otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the written order of the Company and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to this Section 3.03 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.

3.04

Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of a permanent Global Security or definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon compliance with Section 3.03, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Authorized Officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary securities may be in global form, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor.

Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the payment of interest on Securities in temporary form. Such exchanges shall be made by the Company at its expense and without any charge therefor.

3.05

Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Company shall cause to be kept for each series of Securities at one of the offices or agencies maintained in accordance with Section 5.02 a register or registers herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register” in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of such Securities and of transfers of such Securities. Said office or agency is hereby appointed the “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering such Securities and transfers of such Securities as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at an office or agency maintained in accordance with Section 5.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity. In no case shall there be more than one Security Register for a series of Securities.

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (except a Global Security) may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity upon surrender of

the Securities to be exchanged at an office or agency maintained in accordance with Section 5.02. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.05, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, 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 to the nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.

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

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

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

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any particular series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection of Securities of such series to be redeemed under Section 4.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of the sending of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States Federal or state securities law.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

None of the Trustee nor any Paying Agent or Security Registrar, nor the Company, shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.

3.06

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be requested by them to hold each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.06, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

3.07

Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder at the close of business on the relevant Regular

Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in either clause (A) or (B) below:

(A) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which Special Record Date shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing as to the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon, the Company shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and, unless otherwise agreed to by the Trustee, not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register or sent pursuant to Applicable Procedures, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date.

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

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

3.08

Persons Deemed Owners.

The Company and the Trustee, and their respective agents, shall treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company nor the Trustee, nor their respective agents, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

3.09

Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking fund or analogous obligation shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section 3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee pursuant to its standing procedures, and the Trustee shall, upon written request therefor, deliver to the Company a certificate of cancellation in respect thereof.

3.10

Computation of Interest; Calculations.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, any interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Company shall be responsible for making calculations called for under the Securities and this Indenture, including but not limited to determination of interest, additional amounts, redemption price, premium, if any, and any other amounts payable on the Securities. The Company will make the calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Company will provide a schedule of its calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Company’s calculations without independent verification.

3.11

CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing any Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall as a convenience use “CUSIP” numbers in notices to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

IV. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS

4.01

Applicability of Right of Redemption.

Redemption of Securities (other than pursuant to a sinking fund or analogous provision) permitted by the terms of any series of Securities shall be made in accordance with such terms

and Sections 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV, if any such terms of a series of Securities shall conflict with any provisions of this Article IV, the terms of such series shall govern.

4.02

Election to Redeem; Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemption.

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by, or pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate at the time notice of redemption is sent to the Holders of the Securities. In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities of any series in accordance with the right reserved so to do, it shall give notice of such redemption to Holders of the Securities to be redeemed as hereinafter provided in this Section 4.02.

Any notice of redemption to be given to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.05 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price (or manner of calculation if not then known) at which Securities are to be redeemed, shall state the Section of this Indenture and the Securities authorizing redemption and that the conditions precedent to such redemption, if any, have occurred and describe the same, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of the Securities to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption (except that if such redemption date is an Interest Payment Date such interest due on such date with respect to a particular Security shall instead be payable on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date), will be made at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 (or, if desired by the Company, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee) upon presentation and surrender of such securities and that from and after said date fixed for redemption any interest thereon will cease to accrue, such Securities subject to such redemption shall cease to be outstanding and the Holder(s) thereof shall have no rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the redemption price upon such presentation and surrender. The notice shall state the CUSIP number and that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities. If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed shall identify such Holder’s securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only (which part shall be an authorized denomination of the Securities of such series as set forth pursuant to Section 3.01), the notice which relates to such Securities shall state the portion of the principal amount to be redeemed, and that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of the same series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued (or transferred by book entry). No Security whose denomination is the minimum denomination, as set forth pursuant to Section 3.01, of principal amount may be redeemed in part.

If less than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed at any time, and the Securities of such series are Global Securities, they will be selected for redemption in accordance

with Applicable Procedures. If the Securities of such series are not Global Securities, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes (1) in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or (2) if the Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

To the extent that the Securities of any series have different terms, the Company shall designate the Securities to be redeemed if less than all of a series are to be redeemed (“Company Designation”). If less than all the Securities of a series having the same terms are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee, not less than 10 days (or such lesser number of days as the Trustee shall approve) prior to the date such notice of redemption is to be sent to the Holders of the Securities, written notice of the aggregate amount of the Securities to be redeemed. If the Securities of such series are Global Securities, they will be selected for redemption in accordance with Applicable Procedures. If the Securities of such series are not Global Securities, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as is described in the immediately prior paragraph, the Securities of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed (“Trustee Selection”), and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company and any Paying Agent in writing of the Securities of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed. Except in the event of a Company Designation or a Trustee Selection, notice of redemption sent as contemplated by Section 1.05 need not identify particular Securities to be redeemed.

Any notice of redemption may be given by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.02 or may be given, at the Company’s written direction, which direction together with the notice to be given is delivered to the Trustee at least 10 days (or such lesser number of days as the Trustee shall approve) prior to the date such notice is to be given, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

4.03

Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.

If notice of redemption shall have been given in the manner provided in Section 4.02, 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 thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, and on and after such date of redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities or portions thereof at the redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption) any interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Securities and portions of Securities shall be deemed not to be outstanding hereunder and shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture except for the right of the Holder(s) thereof to receive, in accordance with the next sentence, payment of the redemption price, together, if applicable, with accrued interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities, on or after the redemption date at the Place of Payment specified in the notice of redemption, such Securities or specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but, excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, installments of interest that mature on Securities on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more

predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.

Upon presentation and surrender of any Security which is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder or transfer by book entry, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so surrendered.

4.04

Deposit of Funds for Redemption of Securities.

On or prior to12:00 noon Eastern Time on the date fixed for redemption of any Securities as hereinbefore provided in this Article IV, the Company shall deposit in trust with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent (or if and to the extent that the Company shall be acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall set aside, segregate and hold in trust) funds sufficient to redeem the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such redemption date, at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

4.05

Applicability of Sinking Fund.

Redemption of Securities permitted or required pursuant to a sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series by the terms of such series of Securities established pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be made in accordance with such terms of such series of Securities established pursuant to Section 3.01 and this Article IV; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IV, if any such terms of a series of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article IV, the terms of such series shall govern.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 4.06.

4.06

Satisfaction of Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

Subject to Section 4.07, in lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (i) deliver to the Trustee Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, or (ii) receive credit for the principal amount of Securities of that series which have been previously delivered to the Trustee by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities; provided, that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such Securities for

redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

4.07

Redemption of Securities for Sinking Funds.

Not less than 10 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied through delivery and/or crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 4.06 and whether the Company intends to exercise its right to make a permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable, and upon its delivery, the Company shall be obligated to make the payment, delivery, and/or crediting therein referred to, if any, on or prior to such sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver such certificate, the sinking fund payment due with respect to the next sinking fund payment date for that series of Securities shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be made in an amount sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or credit Securities as provided in Section 4.06 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series.

Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash, plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash, which shall equal or exceed $100,000 (or the equivalent in Foreign Currency or currency units in which Securities of the series are payable if applicable), or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request, with respect to the Securities of any particular series, shall be applied by the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the Company, if it acts as its own Paying Agent, on the sinking fund payment date next following the date of such payment, to the redemption of such Securities at the redemption price specified in such Securities for operation of the sinking fund together with accrued interest, if any, to the sinking fund payment date. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee or such Paying Agent or set aside and segregated by the Company for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.07. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee, such Paying Agent or the Company on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities shall be applied by the Trustee, such Paying Agent or the Company, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of principal of such Securities at maturity.

Not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in accordance with Section 4.02. The Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date in the manner provided in Section 4.02, except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Securities of such series are being redeemed by operation of the sinking fund and the sinking fund payment date. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall

be made on the sinking fund payment date upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 4.03.

Prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or to a Paying Agent in cash (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.07(b)) a sum equal to any interest accrued to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption of Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section 4.07.

6.01

Events of Default.

“Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body) unless such event is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of such series pursuant to Section 3.01 of this Indenture:

(A) default in the payment of any interest on any of the Securities of such series when such interest becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

(B) default in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, on, any of the Securities of such series when due (whether at maturity or otherwise and whether payable in cash or securities);

(C) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment or payment under any analogous provision when due with respect to any of the Securities of such series;

(D) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture or any Security of such series (other than a covenant or warranty for which the consequences of breach or nonperformance are addressed elsewhere in this Section 6.01 or a covenant or warranty which has expressly been included in this Indenture, whether or not by means of a supplemental indenture, solely for the benefit of Securities of a series other

than such series), and continuance of such default or breach (without such default or breach having been cured or waived in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture) for a period of 90 days after the Company has received written notice, by registered or certified mail or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, delivered by the Trustee or after the Company and the Trustee have received written notice, by registered or certified mail or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, delivered by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” hereunder;

(E) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of substantially all of the property of the Company, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(F) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Company, or the filing by the Company of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable law, or the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of substantially all of the property of the Company, or the making by the Company of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

(G) any other Event of Default provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of such series.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, if the principal or any premium or interest on any Security is payable in a currency other than the currency of the United States of America and such currency is not available to the Company for making payment thereof due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders of the Securities by making such payment in the currency of the United States of America in an amount equal to the currency of the United States of America equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent by reference to the noon buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency (“Exchange Rate”), as such Exchange Rate is reported or otherwise made available by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the

date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, any payment made under such circumstances in the currency of the United States of America where the required payment is in a currency other than the currency of the United States of America will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture.

6.02

Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (E) or (F) of Section 6.01) with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the principal of all the Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount, as the case may be, and such accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (E) or (F) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Securities of any series occurs, then the principal of all of the Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Securities of such series.

At any time after Securities of any series have been accelerated (whether by declaration of the Trustee or the Holders or automatically) and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article VI provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default with respect to that series have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.07 and amounts owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 have been paid, except nonpayment of principal (or such lesser amount) or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

The Company and the Trustee may, to the extent provided in Section 11.01, enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto with respect to any series of the Securities which may provide for additional, different or fewer Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities. Additional, different or fewer Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities may also be set forth pursuant to Section 3.01.

6.03

Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt.

The Company covenants that (i) in case a default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period in excess of 30 days, or (ii) in case a default shall be made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the

Securities when and as the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, interest, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, of each such Security and (to the extent legally enforceable under applicable law) upon any installments of interest, at the rate borne by such Security; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or willful misconduct.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series, or the production thereof on any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also 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 of a series, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Securities of such series parties to any such proceedings.

In case of an Event of Default hereunder with respect to Securities of a particular series, the Trustee may, but, unless first requested so to do by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series and furnished with indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against all costs, expenses and liabilities, shall not be under any obligation to, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceedings in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Securities allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its creditors or their property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian 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 to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be unpaid for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends,

money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. The Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ committee or other similar committee. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of the Holder of any Security 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 of any Security in any such proceeding.

6.04

Application of Proceeds.

Any money or property collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to Section 6.03, and after an Event of Default any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture, shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys or property:

FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses in connection with the collection of such moneys, and all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07; and

SECOND: To the payment of the entire amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such moneys shall have been collected, without any preference or priority, ratably according to the amounts due and payable upon such Securities upon presentation of the several Securities and notation of such payment thereon, if partly paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid.

Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company or to such other person as shall be entitled to receive it.

6.05

Limitations on Suits by Holders.

Except as set forth in Section 316(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, no Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of the series, and unless also the Holders of no less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security of such series with every other Holder of Securities of such series and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series shall have

any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other of Securities or to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of such series.

6.06

Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

6.07

Control by Holders; Waiver of Default.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to Securities of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture, involve the Trustee in personal liability or have been determined by the Trustee to be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holders); provided further, that nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders. The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to the securities of such series and its consequences, except (i) a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of such series or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Section 11.02, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. In the case of any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

6.08

Undertaking for Costs.

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 or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant; provided, however, that this Section 6.08 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee or the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities of any series.

7.07

Compensation of Trustee and Its Lien.

The Company jointly and severally covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall be agreed to from time to time by the Company and the Trustee and which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and, except as herein 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 counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or willful misconduct. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to make advances from funds collected or held in trust by the Trustee as such for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon. The Company also jointly and severally covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee or their agents for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability claim, damage or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of this Section 7.07, except to the extent that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense is due to their own negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnification. The failure of the Trustee to provide such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 7.07 except to the extent actually prejudiced. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, custodians, successors and permitted assigns.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(E) or Section 6.01(F), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law.

The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture.

“Trustee” for the purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

7.08

Right of Trustee to Rely on Certificate of Certain Officers.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect hereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

7.09

Persons Eligible for Appointment As Trustee.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section 7.09 or the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company shall serve as Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder. 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. To the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series or any other indenture of the Company.

7.10

Resignation and Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Successor.

(a) The Trustee, or any Trustee or Trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to any one or more or all series of Securities by giving thirty days prior written notice to the Company and by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.05. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the

Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed with respect to a particular series and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the sending of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least 6 months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.

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

(A) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

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

then, in any such case, the Company upon thirty days prior written notice may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of any such series for at least 6 months may, an behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition, any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to such series.

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may at any time upon thirty days prior written notice remove the Trustee with respect to that series and appoint with respect to such series a successor Trustee by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor Trustee so appointed and to the Company, the evidence provided for in Section 9.01 of the action taken by the Holders.

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

7.11

Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee.

Any successor Trustee appointed under Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the predecessor Trustee with respect to any and all applicable series an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or

removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations with respect of such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor Trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any such amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.07, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts with respect to such series of the Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon the reasonable request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 7.07.

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

No successor Trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall with respect to such series be eligible under Section 7.09.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company shall give notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.05. If the Company fails 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.

7.12

Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Trustee.

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 without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such successor Trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09 hereof and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

7.13

Authenticating Agents.

There may be an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities appointed by the Trustee from time to time with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or redemption thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized to authenticate and deliver Securities, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as though authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. For all purposes of this Indenture (except in the case of original issuance of Securities and the issuance of Securities in replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Securities), the authentication and delivery of Securities by an Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.13 shall be deemed to be the authentication and delivery of such Securities “by the Trustee,” and whenever this Indenture provides (except in the case of original issuance of the Securities and the issuance of Securities in replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Securities) that “the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver” Securities, such authentication and delivery by any Authenticating Agent shall be deemed be authentication and delivery by the Trustee. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any State or the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and authorized under such laws to act as an authenticating agent, duly registered to act as such, if and to the extent required by applicable law and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of its condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.13 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. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect herein specified in this Section 7.13.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice or resignation or upon a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent. Upon the appointment, at any time after the original issuance of any of the Securities, of any successor, additional or new authenticating agent, the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment

to the Company and shall at the expense of the Company give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner provided in Section 1.05. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.13 shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if initially appointed as an Authenticating Agent. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13.

Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of its appointment shall be deemed to have represented to the Trustee that it is eligible for appointment as Authenticating Agent under this Section 7.13 and to have agreed with the Trustee that:

(A) it will perform and carry out the duties of an Authenticating Agent as herein set forth, including, among other things, the duties to authenticate and deliver Securities when presented to it in connection with exchanges, registrations of transfer or redemptions thereof;

(B) it will keep and maintain, and furnish to the Trustee from time to time as requested by the Trustee, appropriate records of all transactions carried out by it as Authenticating Agent and will furnish the Trustee such other information and reports as the Trustee may reasonably require; and

(C) it will notify the Trustee promptly if it shall cease to be eligible to act as Authenticating Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.13.

Any Authenticating Agent, by the acceptance of its appointment, shall be deemed to have agreed with the Trustee to indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee and to defend any claim asserted against the Trustee by reason of any acts or failures to act of such Authenticating Agent, but such Authenticating Agent shall have no liability for any action taken by it in accordance with the specific written direction of the Trustee.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticated Agent from time to time reasonable compensation and expenses for its services (to the extent such compensation is not paid by the Company), and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments subject to the provisions of Section 7.07.

The provisions of Sections 7.04, 7.05 and 7.08 shall inure to the benefit of each Authenticating Agent to the same extent that they inure to the benefit of the Trustee.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 7.13, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein issued under the within-mentioned Indenture.

IX. CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

9.01

Evidence of Action Taken by Holders.

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

9.02

Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.03 and 10.05 and Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

The fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded in any State within the United States, that the Person executing such instrument acknowledged to such notary or other officer the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such officer’s or member’s authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee may deem sufficient.

The ownership of Securities may be proved by the Security Register or by a certificate of the Security Registrar.

If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Securities of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date shall be fixed at the discretion of the Company. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be the Holders of Securities for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities of such series outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, and for that purpose the Securities of such series outstanding shall be computed as of such record date.

Whenever any act is to be taken hereunder by the Holders of two or more series of Securities denominated in different currencies or currency units, then, for the purpose of determining the principal amount of Securities held by such Holders, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency (or any currency units) shall be deemed to be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange for such Foreign Currency or such currency unit as determined by the Company or by an authorized Exchange Rate Agent and evidenced to the Trustee by an Officers’ Certificate, as of the date the taking of such act by the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the Securities is evidenced to the Trustee. An “Exchange Rate Agent” may be appointed in advance or from time to time by the Company. Any such determination by the Company or by any such Exchange Rate Agent shall be conclusive and binding on all Holders, the Company and the Trustee, and neither the Company nor any such Exchange Rate Agent shall be liable therefor in the absence of bad faith.

The Trustee may require such additional proof, if any, of any matter referred to in this Section 9.02 as it shall deem necessary.

The record of any Holders meeting shall be proved as provided in Section 10.06.

9.03

Right of Revocation of Action Taken.

At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 9.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or of any series of Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown, by evidence, to be included in the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 9.02, 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 in exchange therefor or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security or any Security issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this

Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities.

10.05

Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meeting.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for a meeting of Holders, in regard to proof of the holding of Securities and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall think fit. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 9.02 or other proof. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 9.02 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in said Section 9.02 or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any bank, banker, trust company or firm satisfactory to the Trustee.

The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 10.03, in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.

Each Holder of a Security of the applicable series or related proxy shall be entitled to vote with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding.

The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of Securities of such series held by him or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating him as the person to vote on behalf of other Holders of such series. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to Section 10.02 or 10.03 may be adjourned from time to time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

At any meeting, the presence of persons holding or representing Securities with respect to which such meeting is being held in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to take action upon the business for the transaction of which such meeting was called shall be necessary to constitute a quorum; but, if less than a quorum be present, the persons holding or representing a majority of

the Securities represented at the meeting may adjourn such meeting with the same effect, for all intents and purposes, as though a quorum had been present.

10.06

Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meeting.

The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of a series of Securities shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the serial numbers and principal amounts of the Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting, and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 10.02 or 10.03. The record shall show the serial numbers of the securities voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting, and one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

(C) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Company such further covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions for the protection of the Holders of the Securities of all or any series as its Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities of such series (and if such covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, specifying the series to which such covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions are applicable), and to make the occurrence, or

the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions 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; provided, however, that, in respect of any such additional covenant, agreement, restriction or condition, 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 of the Securities of a particular series to waive such default;

(D) to add, delete or modify any Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Securities, the form and terms of which are being established pursuant to such supplemental indenture as permitted in Sections 2.01, 3.01 and 3.03 (and, if any such Event of Default is applicable to fewer than all such series of the Securities, specifying the series to which such Event of Default is applicable) and to specify the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of such Securities in connection therewith;

(E) to prohibit the authentication and delivery of additional series of Securities;

(F) to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or in any supplemental indenture;

(G) to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture and shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Securities in any material respect;

(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 or 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 7.11.

Upon request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution, 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. In addition, the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any supplemental indenture which provides for the

issuance of Securities of any series denominated in a Foreign Currency or currency unit, if the Trustee determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be able to properly fulfill its obligations hereunder and thereunder in respect of such Securities or to do so would be unduly burdensome to the Trustee.

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 11.01 shall be executed by the Company and the Trustee and shall not require the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding Section 11.02.

11.02

Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders.

With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 9.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series affected by such supplemental indenture, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall, but only to the extent applicable, conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as shall be in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture or indentures) for the purpose, with respect to Securities of such series, of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to Securities of such series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected:

(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or premium, if any, or any installment of interest, if any, on any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium, if any, thereon or the rate (or modify the calculation of such rate) of interest thereon, or reduce the amount payable upon redemption thereof at the option of the Company or repayment thereof at the option of the Holder, or reduce the amount of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 6.03, or adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of any Holder with respect to any Security, or change the Place of Payment where or the currency in which the principal of, any premium or interest on, any Security is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date or, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the date for repayment) in each case as such Stated Maturity, redemption date or date for repayment may, if applicable, be extended in accordance with the terms of such Security, or, in the case of any Security which is convertible into or exchangeable for other securities, impair the right to institute suit to enforce the right to convert or exchange such Security in accordance with its terms;

(2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series required to consent to any such supplemental indenture or waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in Section 5.05 or Section 6.07 of this Indenture;

(3) modify any of the provisions of this Section 11.02 or Section 5.05 or Section 6.07, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; or

(4) make any change that adversely affects the right, if any, to convert or exchange any Security for common stock or other securities in accordance with its terms.

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders 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.

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

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 11.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, 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 under this Section 11.02, the Company shall give notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.05. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

11.03

Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Securities 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.

11.04

Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures.

Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI or after any action taken at a Holders meeting pursuant to the provisions of Article X may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture or

as to any such action. If the Company and the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company and the Trustee, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then outstanding.

11.05

Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate to Be Given to Trustee.

The Trustee, subject to Section 7.03 and, to the extent applicable, Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, shall receive an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence that any such supplemental indenture is authorized by the terms of this Indenture and that is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article XI to join in the execution thereof.

XII. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE

(B) Every such successor Person, upon executing such indenture supplemental hereto, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, shall succeed to (and, except in the case of a lease, be substituted for) the Company, as the case may be, with the same effect as if it had been an original party hereto (which succession shall, except in the case of a lease, relieve the Company of all liabilities hereunder), and such successor Person shall possess and from time to time may exercise each and every power hereunder of the Company and may execute and deliver Securities hereunder, either in the name of the Company or of such successor Person, and any act or proceeding required by this Indenture to be done or performed by any board or officer of the

Company may be done or performed with like force and effect by the like board or officer of such successor Person.

XIII. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE;

DEFEASANCE; UNCLAIMED MONEYS

13.01

Satisfaction and Discharge.

Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 this Section 13.01 is declared not applicable with respect to the Securities of any series, upon the direction of the Company by a written order, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such written order, and the Trustee, on receipt of such written order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when

(A) either

(i) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (1) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (2) Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 13.05) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii) all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

(1) have become due and payable,

(2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

(3) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

and the Company, in the case of (1), (2) or (3) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in the currency in which such Securities are payable or Government

Obligations (determined on the basis of the currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, any premium and interest on such Securities, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the maturity thereof, as the case may be;

(B) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series; and

(C) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with.

In the event there are Securities of two or more series Outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (A) of this Section 13.01, the obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 5.02, 5.07, 13.03 and 13.06, any rights of Holders of the Securities of such series (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and the obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the option of the Holders pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, and any rights of Holders of the Securities of such series (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) to convert or exchange, and the obligation of the Company to convert or exchange, such Securities into common stock or other securities, shall survive; provided, however, that following the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of Securities whose Holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase or repay such Securities or to convert or exchange such Securities into common stock or other securities, the right of the Holder to require repurchase, repayment, conversion or exchange, as the case may be, of any such Security and the Company’s obligation to repurchase, repay, convert or exchange, as the case may be, any such Security shall (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) terminate immediately following the close of business on the final Stated Maturity of such Security or immediately following the close of business on any earlier redemption date of such Security (so long as the Company does not default in the payment of the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, due on such redemption date), as the case may be.

13.02

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

(a) Unless pursuant to Section 3.01, either or both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (b) of this Section 13.02 or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause (c) of this Section 13.02 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such series, then such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 13.02 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of or within such series, elect to have Section 13.02(b) or Section 13.02(c) be applied to such Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Section 13.02. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of any series, defeasance under clause (b) of this Section 13.02 and covenant defeasance under clause (c) of this Section 13.02 may be effected only with respect to all, and not less than all, of the Outstanding Securities of any series. To the extent that the terms of any Security established in or pursuant to this Indenture permit the Company or any Holder thereof to extend the date on which any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on with respect to such Security is due and payable, then unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01, the right to extend such date shall terminate upon defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be.

(b) Upon the Company’s exercise of the option applicable to this Section 13.02(b) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities, on the date the conditions set forth in clause (d) of this Section 13.02 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of clause (e) of this Section 13.02 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to receive, solely (except as provided in clause (ii) below) from the trust fund described in clause (d)(A) of this Section 13.02 and as more fully set forth in this Section 13.02 and Section 13.03, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due, (ii) the obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.05, 3.06, 5.02 and 5.07, with respect to any rights of Holders of such Securities (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and the obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the option of the Holders pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, and with respect to any rights of Holders of such Securities (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) to convert or exchange, and the obligations of the Company to convert or exchange, such Securities into common stock or other securities, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 13.02 and Sections 13.03 and 13.06; provided, however, that following defeasance with respect to any series of Securities whose Holders have the right to require the Company to repurchase or repay

such Securities or to convert or exchange such Securities into common stock or other securities, the right of the Holder to require repurchase, repayment, conversion or exchange, as the case may be, of any such Security and the Company’s obligation to repurchase, repay, convert or exchange, as the case may be, any such Security shall (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series) terminate immediately following the close of business on the final Stated Maturity of such Security or immediately following the close of business on any earlier redemption date of such Security (so long as the Company does not default in the payment of the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, due on such redemption date), as the case may be.

(c) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 13.02(c) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 5.03 and 5.04 and, to the extent specified pursuant to Section 3.01, any other covenant applicable to such Securities with respect to such Securities shall cease to be applicable to such Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (c) of this Section 13.02 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company may omit to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or any such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Sections 6.01(D) or 6.01(G), as the case may be.

(d) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (b) or (c) of this Section 13.02 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series:

(A) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 7.09 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 13.02 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (i) an amount in Dollars or in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or covenant defeasance is to be effected in compliance with subsection (F) below, on the relevant redemption date, as the case may be, (ii) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities (determined on the basis of the currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or covenant defeasance is to be effected in compliance with subsection (F) below, on the relevant redemption date, as the case may be) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof, in any case, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and

discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest or the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities.

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

(C) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit, and, solely in the case of defeasance under Section 13.02(b), no Event of Default with respect to such Securities under clause (E) or (F) of Section 6.01 or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities under clause (E) or (F) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred and be continuing at any time during the period ending on and including the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition to defeasance under Section 13.02(b) shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

(D) In the case of defeasance pursuant to Section 13.02(b), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in applicable United States Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of independent counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred; or, in the case of covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 13.02(c), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

(E) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, under this Indenture have been complied with.

(F) If the monies or Government Obligations or combination thereof, as the case may be, deposited under clause (A) above are sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and, to the extent provided in such clause (A) with respect to a particular redemption date, the Company shall have given the Trustee irrevocable instructions to redeem such Securities on such date and to provide notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture.

(G) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 13.02(d), such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.01.

(e) Subject to Section 13.05, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 3.01) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 13.02(e) and Section 13.03, the “Trustee”) pursuant to clause (d)(A) of Section 13.02 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other than the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 13.02(d)(A) has been made, (i) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.01 or the terms of such Security to receive payment in a currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 13.02(d)(A) has been made in respect of such Security, or (ii) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 13.02(d)(A) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on, with respect to, such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on (x) in the case of payments made pursuant to clause (i) above, the applicable market exchange rate for such currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, or (y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate for such Foreign currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.

The Company shall pay and the Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this Section 13.02 or the principal or interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities.

Anything in this Section 13.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon written order any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (d)(A) of this Section 13.02 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 13.02.

13.03

Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities.

All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 13.01 and 13.02, or received by the Trustee in respect of obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.01, or 13.02, shall be held in trust until such time as such money is to be applied by it to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), to the Holders of the particular Securities, for the payment of which such moneys have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for the principal thereof, premium, if any, and interest, if any, thereon.

In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent, other than the Trustee, under this Indenture shall, upon and in accordance with demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.
