“Notes” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the preamble of the First Supplemental
Indenture.
3
“Attributable Debt” means the present value (discounted at the weighted average interest rate
borne by the Notes outstanding at the time of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction compounded
semi-annually) of the obligation of a lessee for net rental payments during the remaining term of
any lease (including any period for which such lease has been extended).
“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:
(a) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other
than by way of merger or consolidation), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries taken as a
whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to
the Company or one of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(b) the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or
consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Voting Stock,
measured by voting power rather than number of shares;
(c) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person
consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction
in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person is converted into
or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the
shares of the Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction
constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving
Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;
(d) the first day on which the majority of the members of the Board of Directors cease
to be Continuing Directors; or
(e) the adoption by shareholders of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of
the Company.

under clause (b) above if (i) the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a
holding company and (ii) (a) the direct or indirect Holders of the Voting Stock of such holding
company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the Holders of the
Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (b) immediately following that

is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such
holding company.

60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended
following consummation of a Change of Control for so long as any of the Rating Agencies has
publicly announced that it is considering a possible ratings change). Unless at least two of the
three Rating Agencies are providing a rating for the Notes at the commencement of any Trigger
Period, the Notes will be deemed to have ceased to be rated Investment Grade by at least two of the

assets.

ARTICLE 3
COVENANTS
The following covenants shall apply in addition to the covenants set forth in the Indenture:
Section 3.01. Offer to Redeem upon Change of Control Triggering Event.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has
exercised its right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 7.01, each Holder of the Notes shall
have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Notes pursuant
to the offer described in this Section 3.01 (the “Change of Control Offer”), at a purchase price
equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not
including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of the Notes on the relevant
record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
(b) Unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, within 30 days
following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s
option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of
Control, the Company shall be required to send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder of
Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control
Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier
than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be
required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of
consummation of the Change of Control, shall state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned
on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
Holders of the Notes electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall
be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase”
on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice,
or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable
procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third business day prior to
the Change of Control Payment Date.
(c) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party
makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements
for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered
and not withdrawn under its offer.
Section 3.02. Limitations on Liens.
(a) The Company agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee any Secured Debt upon any Principal Property or any
shares of stock or indebtedness for borrowed money of any Restricted Subsidiary, whether owned at
the date hereof or hereafter acquired, without in
9
any such case effectively providing, concurrently with the creation, incurrence, issuance,
assumption or guarantee of any such Secured Debt, that the Notes (together with, if the Company
shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guaranteed by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes and then existing or thereafter created) shall be secured
equally and ratably with or, at the Company’s option, prior to such Secured Debt so long as such
Secured Debt shall be secured. The term “Secured Debt” means any indebtedness for money borrowed
secured by a Lien. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from
Secured Debt in any computation under such restriction, Secured Debt secured by:
(1) Liens on any property, shares of stock or indebtedness for borrowed money of any entity
existing at the time such entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;
(2) Liens on property or shares of stock existing at the time of the acquisition of such
property or stock by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or existing as of the original date
hereof;
(3) Liens to secure the payment of all or any part of the price of acquisition, construction
or improvement of such property or stock by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or to secure
any Secured Debt incurred by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, prior to, at the time of, or
within 180 days after, the later of the acquisition or completion of construction (including any
improvements on an existing property), which Secured Debt is incurred for the purpose of financing
all or any part of the purchase price thereof or construction of improvements thereon; provided,
however, that, in the case of any such acquisition, construction or improvement, the Lien shall not
apply to any property theretofore owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than, in
the case of any such construction or improvement, any theretofore substantially unimproved real
property on which the property or improvement so constructed is located;
(4) Liens securing Secured Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to the Company or to another
Restricted Subsidiary;
(5) Liens on property of an entity existing at the time such entity is merged into or
consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of a sale, lease or other
disposition of the properties of an entity as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;
(6) Liens on the Company’s or Restricted Subsidiary’s property in favor of the United States
or any state thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of the
United States or any state thereof, or in favor of any other country or any political subdivision
thereof, or any department, agency or instrumentality of such country or political subdivision, to
secure partial progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure
any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or the
cost of construction of the property subject to such Liens;
10
(7) Liens incurred or assumed in connection with the issuance of revenue bonds the interest on
which is exempt from federal taxation pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code;
(8) Liens to secure Hedging Obligations entered into in the ordinary course of business to
purchase any raw material or other commodity or to hedge risks or reduce costs with respect to the
Company’s, or any Restricted Subsidiary’s, interest rate, currency or commodity exposure, and not
for speculative purposes;
(9) Liens on accounts receivables and related contract rights of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary under financing transactions pursuant to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
sells or transfers to special purpose vehicles accounts receivables and related contract rights for
further sale or transfer to other purchasers of or investors in such assets;
(10) Any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or
replacements) in whole or in part of any Lien referred to in clauses (1) through (9) above;
provided, however, that the principal amount of Secured Debt so secured shall not exceed the
principal amount of Secured Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement
(except any amounts committed at the date of the indenture), and that such extension, renewal or
replacement shall be limited to all or a part of the property which secured the Lien so extended,
renewed or replaced (plus improvements and construction on such property).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.02, the Company and any one or more
Restricted Subsidiaries may, without securing the Notes, create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee
Secured Debt secured by a Lien which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions in an
aggregate amount which, together with all other Secured Debt of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries which (if originally created, incurred, issued, assumed or guaranteed at such time)
would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions (not including Secured Debt permitted to
be secured under clauses (1) through (10) above), does not at the time exceed 15% of Consolidated
Net Tangible Assets of the Company as shown on the financial statements of the Company as of the
end of the fiscal year preceding the date of determination.
11
Section 3.03. Limitations on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions.
(a) The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into
any arrangement with any Person providing for the leasing by the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary of any Principal Property, whether such Principal Property is now owned or hereafter
acquired (except for temporary leases for a term, including renewals at the option of the lessee,
of not more than three years and except for leases between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary
or between Restricted Subsidiaries), which Principal Property has been or is to be sold or
transferred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to such Person (herein referred to as a
“Sale and Leaseback Transaction”) with the intention of taking back a lease of such property,
unless
(i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled, pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3.02, to create, incur, issue, assume or guarantee indebtedness
secured by a Lien upon such Principal Property at least equal in amount to the Attributable
Debt in respect of such arrangement without equally and ratably securing the Notes,
provided, however, that from and after the date on which such arrangement becomes effective
the Attributable Debt in respect of such arrangement shall be deemed for all purposes to be
Secured Debt subject to the provisions of Section 3.02;
(ii) Since the date hereof and within a period of twelve months before and twelve
months after the consummation of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, has expended or will expend for the Principal
Property an amount equal to: (i) the net proceeds of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction and
the Company elects to designate such amount as a credit against such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction; or (ii) a part of the net proceeds of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction and
the Company elects to designate such amount as a credit against such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction and applies an amount equal to the remainder of the net proceeds as described
