9

hereunder (including any Authentication Order), and any notice to be given to the Trustee or the Obligor with respect to any action taken or to be taken by the Trustee, the Obligor or the Holders hereunder, shall be sufficient if made in writing and

(1) if to be furnished or delivered to or filed with the Trustee by the Obligor or any Holder, delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or at any other address hereafter furnished in writing by the Trustee to the Obligor; or

SECTION 1.06 Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly provided herein or in such Note) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register as of the applicable Record Date, if any, not later than the latest date or earlier than the earliest date prescribed by this Indenture or such Note for the giving of such notice; provided that if the Holder to which any such notice or communication is to be mailed, delivered or otherwise transmitted is a Depositary or its nominee, such notice or communication may instead be given by such other means as may be required or permitted by the procedures of such Depositary. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture or any Note provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event to any Holder when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or the applicable Note, then any method of notification as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Obligor shall be deemed to be sufficient for the giving of such notice.

SECTION 1.07 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control.

SECTION 1.08 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents hereof are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of any provision of this Indenture.

10

SECTION 1.10 Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Nothing in this Indenture or in any Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, their successors hereunder, the Authenticating Agent, the Registrar, any Paying Agent, and the Holders of Notes (or such of them as may be affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

SECTION 1.12 Governing Law. This Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 1.13 Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 1.14 Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or Maturity Date shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, the Redemption Date or Maturity Date, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

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

SECTION 2.02 Execution and Authentication.

(1) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Obligor may deliver Notes of any series executed on behalf of the Obligor by any Officer to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Obligor specifying the principal amount and registered Holder of each Note and whether such Note shall be a Definitive Note or a Global Note, and signed by an Officer (the “Authentication Order”) shall thereupon in accordance with the procedures acceptable to the Trustee set forth in the Authentication Order, and subject to the provisions hereof, authenticate and deliver such Notes to or upon the written order of the Obligor, without any further action by the Obligor except as set forth in this Section 2.02. The signature of any Officer on the Notes may be manual or facsimile. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Note that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. In authenticating such Notes and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 5.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(a) a copy of the Board Resolution relating to such series;

(b) an executed supplemental indenture, if any, and the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.06;

(c) an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the form or forms and terms of the Notes of such series pursuant to Section 2.01(1)(v), and prepared in accordance with Section 1.02; and

(d) an Opinion of Counsel, prepared in accordance with Section 1.02.

(2) Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time on or after the date hereof the proper officers of the Obligor shall bind the Obligor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

(3) The Notes shall be in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise specified in the Officer’s Certificate and supplemental indenture relating to a particular series of Notes.

SECTION 2.03 Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes of a series are ready for delivery, the Obligor may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate and deliver temporary Notes of such series. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Obligor considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Obligor shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes of a series in exchange for temporary Notes of such series. Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

15

SECTION 2.04 Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

(1) Securities Register. The Trustee shall keep a register of the Notes (the “Security Register”) which shall provide for the registration of such Notes, and for transfers of such Notes in accordance with information, if any, to be provided to the Trustee by the Obligor, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe. Such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register or registers shall be available for inspection at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency to be maintained by the Obligor pursuant to Section 9.02.

Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at any other office or agency maintained by the Obligor pursuant to Section 9.02, the Obligor shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, series and Maturity Date.

(2) Transfer of Global Notes. Any other provision of this Section 2.04 notwithstanding, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Definitive Notes, a Global Note representing all or a portion of the Notes of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary, or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary, or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

The Obligor initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes of each series.

(3) Legends.

Each Global Note shall bear the legend specified in clause (i) of Section 2.01(2) on the face thereof.

(4) Definitive Notes.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, a Global Note may be exchanged for Notes of the same series registered in the names of any Person designated by the Depositary in the event that (a) the Depositary has notified the Obligor that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or such Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, and the Obligor has not appointed a successor Depositary within 90 days of receiving such notice or of becoming aware of such cessation, (b) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the applicable Notes, or (c) the Obligor, in its sole discretion, determines that the applicable Notes issued in the form of Global Notes shall no longer be represented by such Global Notes as evidenced by a Company Order delivered to the Trustee. Any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (a) or (c) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part and any Global Note exchanged pursuant to clause (b) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by

16

the Depositary. Any Note issued in exchange for a Global Note of the same series or any portion thereof shall be a Global Note, provided that any such Note so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Note.

(ii) If at any time the Depositary for the Notes of any series notifies the Obligor that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Notes or if the Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the Depositary is required to be so registered in order to act as depositary, the Obligor may within 90 days of receiving such notice or of becoming aware of such cessation appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Notes.

(iii) If, in accordance with this Section 2.04(4), Notes of any series in global form will no longer be represented by Global Notes, the Obligor will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate and make available for delivery, Definitive Notes of such series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Notes of such series, in exchange for such Global Notes.

(iv) If a Definitive Note is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Note after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on any Record Date for the payment of interest and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of such Definitive Notes, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Note is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

(v) Definitive Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.04(4) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Definitive Notes to the Persons in whose names such Notes are so registered. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Obligor shall execute and the Trustee (or an Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to this Indenture) shall authenticate and make available for delivery Definitive Notes at the Registrar’s request, and upon direction of the Obligor. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Obligor or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange.

(vi) When Definitive Notes are presented to the Trustee with a request to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes or to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations of the same series, the Trustee shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Obligor and the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

17

(vii) At such time as all interests in Global Notes of any series have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes of such series or cancelled, such Global Notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note of any series is exchanged for Definitive Notes of such series or cancelled, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be reduced and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction.

(5) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, (i) all Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Obligor, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange, (ii) all transfers and exchanges of the Notes may be made only in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture, and (iii) the transfer and exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may only be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the procedures promulgated by the Depositary.

(6) The Obligor shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes under any optional redemption provision pursuant to Section 2.01(1)(v)(f) and ending at the close of business on the date of such mailing or (ii) register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Note to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed.

SECTION 2.05 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.

(1) If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Obligor and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) there is delivered to the Obligor and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability or expense that they may suffer if such Note is replaced and subsequently presented or otherwise claimed for payment, then, in the absence of notice to the Obligor or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Obligor may in its discretion execute and, upon request of the Obligor, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor, series, Maturity Date, and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

(3) Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.05, the Obligor may require the payment by the Holder thereof 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.

18

(4) Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.05 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Obligor, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note 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 Notes duly issued hereunder.

(5) The provisions of this Section 2.05 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 Notes.

SECTION 2.06 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

(1) Interest on any Note which is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so provided in such Note, be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date, notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Note subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date (unless, if so provided in such Note, such Interest Payment Date is also the Maturity Date, in which case such interest shall be payable to the Person to whom principal is payable).

(2) Any interest on any Note 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 registered Holder on the applicable Record Date by virtue of his having been such Holder; and, except as hereinafter provided, such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Obligor, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

(i) The Obligor may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names any such Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Obligor shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Obligor shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Obligor shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Obligor of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Obligor, 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 the Holder of each such Note at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii).

19

(ii) The Obligor may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner if, after notice given by the Obligor to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (ii), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

(3) If any installment of interest on any Note called for redemption pursuant to any optional redemption provision under Section 2.01(1)(v)(f) is due and payable on or prior to the Redemption Date and is not paid or duly provided for on or prior to the Redemption Date in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06, such interest shall be payable as part of the Redemption Price of such Notes.

(4) Interest on Notes may be paid at the office or agency maintained by the Obligor in the United States pursuant to Section 9.02 or, at the Obligor’s option, through DTC, Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, or Euroclear System to the Person entitled thereto or by such other means as may be specified in the form of such Note.

(5) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06 and the provisions of Section 2.04, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 2.07 Persons Deemed Owners.

(1) Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Obligor, the Trustee, and any agent of the Obligor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered on the Security Register as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.06) interest, and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue and neither the Obligor, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Obligor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(2) None of the Obligor, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, the Registrar or any Co-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 Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests and each of them may act or refrain from acting without liability on any information relating to such records provided by the Depositary.

SECTION 2.08 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Obligor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Obligor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. Acquisition of such Notes by the Obligor shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Note shall be

20

authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 2.08, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of all cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, upon written request, deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Obligor.

SECTION 2.09 Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, unless otherwise specified in the Officer’s Certificate and supplemental indenture relating to a particular series of Notes.

SECTION 2.10 CUSIP Numbers. The Obligor in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP or ISIN numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, as the case may be, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Obligor will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN number.

ARTICLE III

This Indenture will be discharged with respect to the Notes of a series and will cease to be of further effect as to all such Notes (except as to any surviving rights of transfer or exchange of such Notes expressly provided for herein), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Obligor, shall execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Obligor acknowledging the discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such series, when

21

cases described in (a) or (b) above or in this clause (c), the Obligor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes for that purpose, U.S. dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in such amounts sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee cancelled or for cancellation, for principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes of such series to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes of such series that have become due and payable), or to the Maturity Date or the Redemption Date, as the case may be;

(4) the Obligor has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent to the discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such series have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes of such series, the obligations of the Obligor under Section 3.01(1) and the obligations of the Obligor to the Trustee under Section 5.07 and to any Authenticating Agent under Section 5.14 shall survive, and the obligations of the Trustee under Sections 3.03 and 3.05 shall survive.

SECTION 3.02 Defeasance and Discharge of Covenants upon Deposit of Moneys, U.S. Government Obligations. At the Obligor’s option, either (a) the Obligor shall be deemed to have been Discharged (as defined below) from its obligations with respect to the Notes of any series (“Legal Defeasance”) and/or (b) the Obligor shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 4.01(3), 9.05, 9.06 and 9.07 (and any other Sections, covenants or Events of Default applicable to such Notes that are determined pursuant to Section 2.01 to be subject to this provision) with respect to the Notes of such series at any time after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”):

(1) The Obligor shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the Trustee, as trust funds, in trust, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of such series, an amount of money, in cash in U.S. dollars sufficient, or in non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, the principal of and interest on which, when due, will be sufficient, or a combination thereof, sufficient, 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 the entire indebtedness on the Notes of such series with respect to principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes of any series that have become due and payable), or to the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as the case may be;

22

(2) No Event of Default, or event which with notice or lapse of time would become an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such series, shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, with respect to an Event of Default described in Section 4.01(5) or (6), at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

(3) The Obligor shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge contemplated by this Section 3.02 have been complied with, and:

(i) in the case of an Opinion of Counsel relating to a Legal Defeasance, stating that:

(A) the Obligor has received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

(B) since the date hereof there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, to the effect, in either case, that and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that the holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such defeasance has not occurred, which Opinion of Counsel must be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect or a change in applicable Federal income tax law or related treasury regulations after the date of this Indenture;

(ii) in the case of an Opinion of Counsel relating to a Covenant Defeasance, stating that the deposit and defeasance contemplated by this Section 3.02 will not cause the Holders of the Notes of such series to recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the Obligor’s exercise of its option under this Section 3.02 and such Holders will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such option had not been exercised.

If in connection with the exercise by the Obligor of any option under this Section 3.02, any series of Notes is to be redeemed, either notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to any redemption provision adopted under Section 2.01 of this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made.

If the Obligor exercises its option under Section 3.02(a), payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto.

Notwithstanding the exercise by the Obligor of its option under Section 3.02(b) with respect to Section 7.01, the obligation of any successor entity to assume the obligations to the Trustee under Section 5.07 shall not be discharged.

“Discharged” means, as to any series of Notes, that the Obligor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, the Notes of such

23

series and to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to such series of Notes (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Obligor, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except (A) the rights of Holders of Notes of such series to receive, from the trust fund described in clause (1) above, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and the interest, if any, on such series of Notes when such payments are due; (B) the Obligor’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 2.04, 2.05, 3.02(1), 3.03, and 9.02 and its obligations under Section 5.07; and (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 3.03 Application of Trust Money. All money and U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 and all proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations and the interest thereon shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Obligor acting as its own Paying Agent), as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, for whose payment such money and U.S. Government Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee; but such money and U.S. Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 3.04 Paying Agent to Repay Moneys Held. Upon the discharge of this Indenture or a Legal Defeasance, in each case, with respect to the Notes of a series, all moneys then held by any Paying Agent under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes (other than the Trustee) shall, upon demand of the Obligor, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such moneys.

SECTION 3.05 Return of Unclaimed Amounts. Subject to applicable abandoned property laws, any amounts deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of Notes or then held by the Obligor, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any series of Notes and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holders of such series of Notes for two years after the date upon which the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such series of Notes, as the case may be, shall have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Obligor by the Trustee on demand or (if then held by the Obligor) shall be discharged from such Trust; and the Holder of any Notes of such series shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Obligor for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect (until such time as such unclaimed amounts shall escheat, if at all, to any applicable jurisdiction) and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Obligor as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee or Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Obligor cause to be published once a week for two successive weeks (in each case on any day of the week) in a newspaper printed in the English language and customarily published at least once a day at least five days in each calendar week and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, in the City and State of New York, a notice that said amounts have not been so applied and that after a date named therein any unclaimed balance of said amounts then remaining will be promptly returned to the Obligor.

24

SECTION 3.06 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 3.03 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Obligor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Holders of Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 3.01 until such time as the Trustee or such Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 3.03.

ARTICLE IV

REMEDIES

SECTION 4.01 Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means with respect to Notes of any series, any 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):

(1) default in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes of such series when due (whether at maturity, upon optional redemption or otherwise);

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

(3) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant, warranty or agreement (other than a default or breach under Section 7.01) of the Obligor under this Indenture in respect of the Notes of such series, and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after a Notice of Default is given to the Obligor;

(4) a default in the performance, or breach, of the Obligor’s obligations under Section 7.01;

(5) the entry of an order for relief against the Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code by a court having jurisdiction in the premises or a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Obligor as bankrupt or insolvent under any other applicable Federal or state law, or the entry of a decree or order approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or state law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Obligor or of any substantial part of their respective properties, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of their respective affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days;

(6) the consent by the Obligor to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against any of them, or the filing by the Obligor of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or state law, or the consent by the Obligor to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Obligor or of any substantial part of their respective properties, or the making by the Obligor of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by the Obligor in writing of the Obligor’s inability to pay debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Obligor in furtherance of any such action; and

25

(7) (a) a failure to make any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, on any Indebtedness of the Obligor (other than Indebtedness of the Obligor owing to any of its Subsidiaries) outstanding in an amount in excess of $100 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time and continuance of this failure to pay or (b) a default on any indebtedness of the Obligor (other than Indebtedness owing to any of its Subsidiaries), which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $100 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time without such Indebtedness having been discharged or the acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of clause (a) or (b) above; provided, however, that if any failure, default or acceleration referred to in clauses 7(a) or (b) ceases or is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the event of default under the Indenture will be deemed cured.

A default under clauses (3) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding notify the Obligor of the default and the Obligor does not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.”

The Obligor shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Obligor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. Upon becoming aware of any default or Event of Default, the Obligor is required to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such default or Event of Default.

SECTION 4.02 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

(1) If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 4.01) with respect to the Notes 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 Notes of such series may declare the principal of all Outstanding Notes of such series, and the interest to the date of acceleration, if any, accrued thereon, to be immediately due and payable by notice in writing to the Obligor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) specifying the event of default. If an Event of Default described in clause (5) or (6) of Section 4.01 occurs, then the principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(2) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made with respect to the Notes of any series and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article IV provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series by written notice to the Obligor and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration or waive past defaults and their consequences, except with respect to a default in respect of a covenant or provision of this

26

Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note affected thereby, if:

(i) the Obligor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

(a) all overdue installments of interest, if any, on such series of Notes,

(b) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any such series of Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate prescribed therefor by the Notes of such series, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,

(c) interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate prescribed therefor by the Notes of such series to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, and

(d) the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.07; and

(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium or interest of the Notes of such series which have become due solely by such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 4.13.

(3) No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 4.03 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement.

(1) The Obligor covenants that if:

(i) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Note of any series when such interest becomes due and payable; or

(ii) default is made in the payment of (or premium, if any, on) the principal of any Note of any series at the Maturity thereof; and

(iii) any such default continues for any period of grace provided in relation to such default pursuant to Section 4.01, then, with respect to such series of Notes, the Obligor will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of such series, the whole amount then due and payable on all Notes of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, together with interest (to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and upon overdue installments of interest at the rate of interest prescribed therefor by the Notes of such series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.07.

27

(2) If the Obligor fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Obligor or any other obligor upon such Notes and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Obligor or any other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated.

(3) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of Notes, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of such series of Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 4.04 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

(1) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, or other judicial proceeding relative to the Obligor or any obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Obligor or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Obligor for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise:

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary and 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 all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.07) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings; and

(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.07.

(2) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 4.05 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes of any series may be prosecuted and enforced

28

by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes of such series or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes of such series.

SECTION 4.06 Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee from the Obligor pursuant to this Article IV shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Notes of any series and the notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 5.07.

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon such series of Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind.

THIRD: To the Obligor.

SECTION 4.07 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note of any series may institute any action under this Indenture, unless and until:

(1) such Holder has given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes of such series;

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series have made a written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

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

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

(5) no inconsistent direction has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series;

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

29

SECTION 4.08 Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.06) interest on such Note on or after the Maturity Date (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective date, and such right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 4.09 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Obligor, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 4.10 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in Section 2.05(5), no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right or remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 4.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article IV or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 4.12 Control by Holders. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes 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 of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series; provided that:

(1) the Trustee is offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, cost, liability or expense;

(2) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not taking part in such direction; and

30

(3) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 4.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 4.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of any series may, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes of such series, waive any past default hereunder with respect to the Notes of such series, except a default not theretofore cured:

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

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision in this Indenture which, under Article VIII, cannot be modified without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note of such series.

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

SECTION 4.14 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 4.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder or group of Holders holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of any series to which the suit relates, or to any suit instituted by any Holder pursuant to Section 4.08.

SECTION 4.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Obligor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law (other than any bankruptcy law) wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Obligor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

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

(2) In case an Event of Default with respect to a series of Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture with respect to such series of Notes and any indenture supplemental hereto relating to such series of Notes, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

(i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 5.01(1);

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

(iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial loss, expense or liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Obligor, personally or by agent or attorney;

The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Obligor of the Notes or the proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall not be charged with notice or knowledge of any Event of Default under clause (6) of Section 4.01 or of the identity of a Significant Subsidiary of the Obligor unless either (i) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee assigned to and working in its Corporate Trust Office shall have actual knowledge thereof or (ii) notice thereof shall have been given to the Trustee in accordance with Section 1.05 from the Obligor or any Holder.

SECTION 5.05 May Hold Notes. The Trustee or any Paying Agent, Registrar, or other agent of the Obligor, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and, subject to Section 5.08 and 5.12, may otherwise deal with the Obligor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar, or such other agent.

34

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

(3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes upon all property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any retiring Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.07, except with respect to funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes.

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 4.01, such expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law.

SECTION 5.10 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

(1) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article V shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.11.

(2) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Notes of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Obligor. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 5.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series.

(3) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Notes of any series by Act of the Holders of 66²/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Obligor.

(4) If at any time:

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 5.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Obligor or by any such Holder; or

(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (A) the Obligor by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Notes, or (B) subject to Section 4.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Notes and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

(5) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Notes of one or more series, the Obligor, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Notes of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Notes of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Notes of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 5.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of 66²/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such series delivered to the Obligor and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series and to that extent supersede the

36

successor Trustee appointed by the Obligor. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series shall have been so appointed by the Obligor or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 5.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series.

(6) The Obligor shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of any series to all Holders of Notes of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 5.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Notes, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Obligor and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Obligor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its reasonable charges and subject to its lien, if any, provided by Section 5.07, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more (but not all) series, the Obligor, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Notes of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Notes, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) 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; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Obligor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Notes of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

37

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Obligor shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

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

SECTION 5.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, including the administration of this Indenture, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article V, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor Trustee by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

SECTION 5.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Obligor. If and when the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor of the Obligor (or of any other obligor upon the Notes), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Obligor (or against any such other obligor, as the case may be).

SECTION 5.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

(1) At any time when any of the Notes remain Outstanding the Trustee, with the approval of the Obligor, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 2.05, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Obligor and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an Authenticating Agent, having (or, in the case of a subsidiary of a bank holding company, its holding company parent shall have) a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and, if other than the Obligor itself, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the

38

requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 5.14, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.14, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 5.14.

(2) Any corporation into which an 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 such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 5.14, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

(3) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and, if other than the Obligor, to the Obligor. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and, if other than the Obligor, to the Obligor. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.14, the Trustee, with the approval of the Obligor, may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Obligor and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Notes of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 5.14.

(4) The Obligor agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 5.14.

(5) If an appointment is made pursuant to this Section 5.14, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

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

COVENANTS

SECTION 9.01 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. The Obligor covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Notes that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal, premium, if any, and interest on such series of Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in such series of Notes, and will duly comply with all the other terms, agreements and conditions contained in this Indenture for the benefit of such series of Notes.

Payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on a Global Note registered in the name of or held by the DTC or its nominee will be made in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the Holder of such Global Note. If any of the Notes are no longer represented by a Global Note, payment of interest on certificated Notes in definitive form may, at the option of the Obligor, be made by (i) check mailed directly to Holders at their registered addresses or (ii) upon request of any Holder of at least $1,000,000 principal amount of Notes, wire transfer to an account located in the United States by the payee.

The Obligor shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at the applicable rate of interest determined from time to time in the manner provided for in each series of Notes; it shall pay

45

interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar law) on overdue installments of interest and (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rates to the extent lawful.

SECTION 9.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency. So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Obligor will maintain an office or agency in the City of New York (which initially will be the Corporate Trust Office) where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Obligor in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Obligor will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Obligor shall fail to maintain such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Obligor hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

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

SECTION 9.03 Money for Note Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Obligor shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any series of Notes, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of such series of Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Holders of the Notes of such series or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

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

The Obligor will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.03, that such Paying Agent will:

(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, on Notes of any series in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes of such series entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

46

(2) give the Trustee prompt notice of any default by the Obligor (or any other obligor upon the Notes of such series) in the making of any such payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, on such Notes; and

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

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

SECTION 9.04 Certificate to Trustee. The Obligor will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Obligor ending after the initial issuance of Notes under this Indenture, an Officer’s Certificate that complies with TIA Section 314(a)(4) stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as officers of the Obligor, they would normally have knowledge of any default by the Obligor in the performance of any of its covenants or agreements contained herein, stating whether or not they have knowledge of any such default and, if so, specifying each such default of which the signers have knowledge and the nature thereof.

SECTION 9.05 Existence. Subject to Article VII, the Obligor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a corporation.

SECTION 9.06 Limitation on Liens. The Obligor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any lien on any Principal Property or the capital stock of any Subsidiary of the Obligor, to secure any Indebtedness of the Obligor, any such Subsidiary or any other Person, without securing the Notes equally and ratably with such Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured. The foregoing shall not apply to:

(1) liens on assets or property of a Person at the time it becomes a Subsidiary of the Obligor securing only Indebtedness of such Person; provided such Indebtedness was not incurred in connection with such Person or entity becoming a Subsidiary and such liens do not extend to any assets other than those of the Person becoming a Subsidiary;

(2) liens existing on assets created at the time of, or within 18 months after, the acquisition, purchase, lease, improvement or development of such assets to secure all or a portion of the purchase price or lease for, or the costs of improvement or development of, such assets;

(3) liens to secure any extension, renewal, refinancing or refunding (or successive extensions, renewals, refinancings or refundings), in whole or in part, of any Indebtedness

47

secured by liens referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above or liens created in connection with any amendment, consent or waiver relating to such Indebtedness, so long as such lien is limited to all or part of substantially the same property which secured the lien extended, renewed or replaced, the amount of Indebtedness secured is not increased (other than by the amount equal to any costs and expenses (including any premiums, fees or penalties) incurred in connection with any extension, renewal, refinancing or refunding) and the Indebtedness so secured does not exceed the fair market value (as determined by the Obligor’s Board of Directors) of the assets subject to such liens at the time of such extension, renewal, refinancing or refunding, or such amendment, consent or waiver, as the case may be;

(4) liens on property incurred in Sale and Leaseback Transactions permitted by Section 9.07;

(5) liens in favor of only the Obligor or one or more Subsidiaries of the Obligor granted by the Obligor or a Subsidiary to secure any obligations owed to the Obligor or a Subsidiary of the Obligor;

(6) liens on property or assets of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with the Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a Person to the Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such lien was not incurred in anticipation of the merger, consolidation, or sale, lease, other disposition or other such transaction by which such Person was merged into or consolidated with the Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries;

(7) liens on securities deemed to exist under repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements entered into by the Obligor or any Significant Subsidiary of the Obligor in the ordinary course of business;

(8) liens in favor of the Trustee granted in accordance with the Indenture;

(9) liens in existence on the date of this Indenture; and

(10) liens otherwise prohibited by this Section 9.06, securing Indebtedness which, together with the value of Attributable Debt incurred in Sale and Leaseback Transactions permitted under Section 9.07 below, do not exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets measured at the date of incurrence of the lien.

48

SECTION 9.07 Limitation on Sale-Leaseback Transactions. The Obligor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary of the Obligor to, enter into any arrangement with any Person pursuant to which the Obligor or any Subsidiary of the Obligor leases any property that has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Obligor or the Subsidiary to such Person (a “Sale and Leaseback Transaction”), except that a Sale and Leaseback Transaction is permitted if the Obligor or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a lien on the property to be leased (without equally and ratably securing the outstanding Notes) in an amount equal to the present value of the lease payments with respect to the term of the lease remaining on the date as of which the amount is being determined, discounted at the rate of interest set forth or implicit in the terms of the lease, compounded semi-annually (such amount is referred to as the “Attributable Debt”). The foregoing shall not apply to:

(1) temporary leases for a term, including renewals at the option of the lessee, of not more than three years;

(2) leases between only the Obligor and a Subsidiary of the Obligor or only between Subsidiaries of the Obligor;

(3) leases where the proceeds from the sale of the property are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Obligor) of the property and the Obligor applies an amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale to the retirement of long-term Indebtedness or to the purchase of other property or equipment used or useful in its business, within 270 days of the effective date of such sale; provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of long-term Indebtedness, the Obligor may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation, such Notes to be credited at the cost thereof to it; and

(4) leases of property executed by the time of, or within 270 days after the latest of, the acquisition, the completion of construction or improvement, or the commencement of commercial operation of the property.
