Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice
so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein. Any notice
which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given or provided. In the case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of
any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as
shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every
purpose hereunder.
13
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing
by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver
shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities 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.
Section 107 Language of Notices.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election or waiver required or
permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that, if the Company so
elects, any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication (with a
copy in English to be provided to the Trustee).

(a) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties that would be
imposed by any of Sections 310 to 317 of the TIA through operation of Section 318(c) thereof on any
person if this Indenture were qualified under the TIA, such imposed duties shall control.
obligor on the indenture securities means the Company and any other obligor on the
indenture securities.
All other TIA terms used in this Indenture that are defined by the TIA, defined in the TIA by
reference to another statute or defined by SEC Rule have the meanings assigned to them by such
definitions.
(b) If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision
which is required to be included in this Indenture by the TIA, the provision required by the TIA
shall control.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 110 Successors and Assigns.
All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not.

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 any Security, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other
than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authentication Agent and
their successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

where any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security, or the last date on
which a Holder has the right to convert or exchange Securities of a series that are convertible or
exchangeable, shall not be a Business Day (a Legal Holiday) at any Place of Payment, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security other than a provision in
any Security that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof) payment need
not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, and such Securities need not be converted or
exchanged on such date but such payment may be made, and such Securities may be converted or
exchanged, on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same
force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity or
on such last day for conversion or exchange, and no interest shall accrue on the amount payable on
such date or at such time for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Stated
Maturity, Maturity or last day for conversion or exchange, as the case may be, to the next
succeeding Business Day.
Section 115 Counterparts.
This Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and
all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 116 Judgment Currency.
The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law,
that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum
due in respect of the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts on the
Securities of any series (the Required Currency) into a currency in which a judgment will be
rendered (the Judgment Currency), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the
requisite amount of the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day
preceding the day on which a final unappealable judgment is given and (b) its obligations under
this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or
not entered in accordance with clause (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except
15
to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee,
of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments,
(ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of
recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall
short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be
affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of
the foregoing, New York Banking Day means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in
The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized
or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to be closed.
Section 117 No Security Interest Created.
Nothing in this Indenture or in any Securities, express or implied, shall be construed to
constitute a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation, as now or
hereafter enacted and in effect in any jurisdiction where property of the Company or its
Subsidiaries is or may be located.
Section 118 Limitation on Individual Liability.
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or
in any Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had

or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any Security or implied therefrom, are hereby
expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this

Section 203 Securities in Global Form.
Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, the Securities
shall be issuable in permanent global form. If Securities of a series shall be issuable in global
form, any such Security may provide that it or any number of such Securities shall represent the
aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series (or such lesser amount as is
permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the
aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased

amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Holders, of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such manner and by such Person or
Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered pursuant to Section
303 or Section 304 with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if

and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.
17

this Indenture or any Securities, payment of principal of, any premium and interest on, and any

paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the Trustee shall treat as the
Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities as is represented by a global Security in
the case of a global Security in registered form, the Holder of such global Security in registered
form.
Each global Security shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (unless otherwise
specified by the Depositary.):
THIS DEBT SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER
REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS DEBT SECURITY
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED TO, OR REGISTERED OR EXCHANGED FOR SECURITIES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF, ANY
PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF AND NO SUCH TRANSFER MAY BE REGISTERED,
EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE. EVERY DEBT SECURITY AUTHENTICATED
AND DELIVERED UPON REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF, OR IN EXCHANGE FOR OR IN LIEU OF, THIS DEBT
SECURITY SHALL BE A GLOBAL SECURITY SUBJECT TO THE FOREGOING, EXCEPT IN SUCH LIMITED
CIRCUMSTANCES.

Securities denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. Securities not denominated in
21
Dollars shall be issuable in such denominations as are established with respect to such
Securities in or pursuant to this Indenture.
Section 303 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, one of its
Vice Chairmen, its President, its Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, one of its Vice Presidents or
other person authorized by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company. The signature of
any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication and,
provided that the Board Resolution and Officers Certificate or supplemental indenture or
indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 301 and a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities have been delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in
accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof and of such Securities shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall
be provided with, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall
be fully protected in relying upon,
(1) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:
(a) the form or forms and terms of such Securities have been established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;
(b) all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of such Securities have
been complied with and that such Securities, when completed by appropriate insertions,
executed under the Companys corporate seal and attested by duly authorized officers of the
Company, delivered by duly authorized officers of the Company to the Trustee for
authentication pursuant to this Indenture, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such
Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement
thereof may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and will
entitle the Holders thereof to the benefits of this Indenture; such Opinion of Counsel need
express no opinion as to the availability of equitable remedies;
22
(c) all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company
of such Securities have been complied with;
and, to the extent that this Indenture is required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in
connection with the issuance of such Securities, to the further effect that:
(d) this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and
(2) an Officers Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the execution,
authentication and delivery of such Securities have been complied with and that, to the best
knowledge of the Persons executing such certificate, no event which is, or after notice or lapse of
time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred
and be continuing.
The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to
authenticate any Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect
the Trustees own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise
in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken.
Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for in Section 202 or Section 612 executed by or on behalf of
the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual or facsimile signature of one of its
authorized officers. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 304 Temporary Securities.
Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute and deliver to the
Trustee and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided
in Section 303, temporary Securities in lieu thereof which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of
the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the
Company executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of
such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form.
Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in
accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities are issued, the Company shall cause
definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Securities of the same series and containing terms and provisions that are identical to
those of any temporary Securities, such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such
definitive Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at an Office or Agency for such
Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or
more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
23
deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized
denominations of the same series and containing identical terms and provisions. Unless otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to a temporary global Security, until so
exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.
Section 305 Registration, Transfer and Exchange.
With respect to the Registered Securities of each series, if any, the Company shall cause to
be kept a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the Security
Register) at an Office or Agency for such series in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Securities of
such series and of transfers of the Registered Securities of such series.
Such Office or Agency shall be the Security Registrar or Registrar for that series of
Securities. Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities, the
Trustee shall be the initial Security Registrar for each series of Securities. The Company shall
have the right to remove and replace from time to time the Security Registrar for any series of
Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall be effective until a successor
Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities shall have been appointed by the
Company and shall have accepted such appointment by the Company. In the event that the Trustee
shall not be or shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, it
shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times.
There shall be only one Security Register for each series of Securities.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any
Office or Agency for such series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered
Securities of the same series denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, of a like
aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing
identical terms and provisions.
At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other
Registered Securities of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, in any
authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series. Whenever any Registered
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.
A global Security may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of
the Depositary, by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the
Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such
successor Depositary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, any global Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities only if (i)
the Depository is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depository and a
successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the
24
date the Company is so informed in writing, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act of 1934, (iii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a
Company Order to the effect that such global Security shall be so exchangeable or (iv) an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities. If the beneficial owners of
interests in a global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities as
the result of an event described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of the preceding sentence, then
without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests
may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in such form
and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series,
containing identical terms and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests
may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the U.S.
Depository or such other Depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect
thereto, and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the U.S. Depository or such
other Depository, as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be
contained in or accompanied by an Officers Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the
Companys agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities
as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery,
in exchange for each portion of such surrendered global Security, a like aggregate principal amount
of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the
portion of such global Security to be exchanged; provided, however, that no such exchanges may
occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of
Securities of the same series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date. Promptly
following any such exchange in part, such global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such
Depository or the U.S. Depository, as the case may be, or such other Depository or U.S. Depository
referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a
Registered portion of a global Security after the close of business at the Office or Agency for
such Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security
and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next Interest Payment Date, or
(ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or
Agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may
be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as
the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but shall be payable on such Interest
Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest
in respect of such portion of such global Security shall be payable in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the
valid and legally binding obligations of the Company evidencing the same debt and entitling the
Holders thereof to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar for such
Security) be duly endorsed, signature guaranteed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
25
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar for such Security duly
executed by the Holder thereof, signature guaranteed, or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, or redemption of
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge and any other expenses (including fees and expenses of the Trustee) that may be
imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Sections 304, 306 and 1107 not involving any transfer.
Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection of Securities of like
tenor and the same series under Section 1103 for redemption and ending at the close of business on
the day of such selection, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in
part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed; or (iii) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered for repayment at
the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.
Section 306 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.
If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this
Section 306, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount
and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee that such Security has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon the Companys request
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series containing identical terms
and of like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 306, in case any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in
its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.
26
Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Security shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost
or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such
series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section, as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Indenture with
respect to particular Securities or generally, shall be exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
Section 307 Payment of Interest and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights to Interest and Certain Additional Amounts Preserved.
Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which shall be payable, and are punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest.
Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which shall be payable, but shall not be punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (herein called
Defaulted Interest) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant
Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid
by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Person in whose
name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be 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 Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on such Registered Security and the date of the proposed
payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal
to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed
payment, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to
such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not
less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the
receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to
be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Holder of such Registered Security (or a Predecessor
Security thereof) at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior
to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of
the Company, cause a similar notice to be
27
published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the
establishment of 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 Person in whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor
Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and
shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Security may be listed,
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to
the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.
Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular
series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, at the option of the Company, interest on
Registered Securities that bear interest may be paid by wire transfer in immediately available
funds if the holder of the Registered Security has provided to the Company and the Trustee wire
instructions at least five business days prior to the applicable payment date or by check mailed to
the address of that holder as it appears on the books of the Securities Registrar if that holder
has not provided wire instructions; provided that the final distribution in respect of any Security
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of such certificated debenture at the applicable
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, each Security delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other
Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried
by such other Security.
In the case of any Registered Security of any series that is convertible, which Registered
Security is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date (other than any Registered Security with respect to which the Stated Maturity is prior
to such Interest Payment Date), interest with respect to which the Stated Maturity is on such
Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such
conversion, and such interest (whether or not punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid
to the Person in whose name that Registered Security (or one or more predecessor Registered
Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Registered
Security which is converted, interest with respect to which the Stated Maturity is after the date
of conversion of such Registered Security shall not be payable.
Section 308 Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company,
the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such
Registered Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner of such Registered Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, any premium and
28
(subject to Section 305 and Section 307) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect
to such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with
respect to such Registered Security shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any
agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
No Holder of any beneficial interest in any global Security held on its behalf by a Depository
shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such global Security, and such
Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
as the owner of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the
Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests
of a global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such
beneficial ownership interests.
Section 309 Cancellation.
All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or
conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities, as well as Securities
surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be cancelled promptly by the
Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as
provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All
cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its
customary procedures.
Section 310 Computation of Interest.
Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, or in any Security, interest on
the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Section 311 CUSIP Numbers.
The Company in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and,
if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders;
provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of
such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and
that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and
any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

Section 401 Satisfaction and Discharge.
Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of
further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Order and the
Trustee, on receipt of a Company Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when
(1) either
(a) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered and have been
accepted by the Trustee for cancellation (other than (i) Securities of such series which
have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in
Section 306, and (ii) Securities of such series for whose payment money has theretofore

(b) all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation:
|
(i) |
|
have become due and payable, or |
|
|
(ii) |
|
will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one
year, or |
|
|
(iii) |
|
if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called
for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the
expense, of the Company, |
and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, money in the Currency in which such
Securities are payable in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such
Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of,

date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the

(3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of

satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with.
30
In the event there are Securities of two or more series hereunder, the Trustee shall be
required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only
if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if
the other conditions thereto are met.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of
Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under
Section 607 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the

of Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 1004 (but
only to the extent that the Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the
amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 401(1)(b), and with
respect to any rights to convert or exchange such Securities into Common Stock or other securities,
cash or other property shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.
Section 402 Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.
(1) Unless pursuant to Section 301, either or both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of or
within a series under clause (2) of this Section 402 shall not be applicable with respect to the
Securities of such series or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under
clause (3) of this Section 402 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such
series, then such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 402 (with such
modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities),
shall be applicable to such Securities, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at
any time, with respect to such Securities, elect to have Section 402(2) or Section 402(3) be
applied to such Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this
Section 402.
(2) Upon the Companys exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(2) with
respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date the
conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 402 are satisfied (hereinafter, defeasance).
For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be Outstanding only for the purposes of clause (6) of this Section 402
and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have
satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such
Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities to
receive, solely from the trust fund described in clause (4) of this Section 402 and as more fully
set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities when such
payments are due, and any rights of such Holder to convert or exchange such Securities into Common
Stock or other securities, cash or other property, (ii) the obligations of
31
the Company and the Trustee with respect to such Securities under Section 305, Section 306,
Section 1002 and Section 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on
such Securities as contemplated by Section 1004 (but only to the extent that the Additional Amounts
payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional
Amounts pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) below), and with respect to any rights to convert or exchange
such Securities into Common Stock or other securities, cash or other property, (iii) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 402. The
Company may exercise its option under this Section 402(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its
option under clause (3) of this Section 402 with respect to such Securities.
(3) Upon the Companys exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(3) with
respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from, to the extent
specified pursuant to Section 301, any covenant applicable to such Securities, with respect to such
Outstanding Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section
402 are satisfied (hereinafter, covenant defeasance), and such Securities shall thereafter be
deemed to be not Outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or
Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such covenant, but
shall continue to be deemed Outstanding for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such
covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities, the Company may omit
to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set
forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any covenant or by reason of reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein
or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of
Default under Section 501(4) insofar as it relates to, to the extent specified pursuant to Section
301, any covenant applicable to such Security, or Section 501(7) or otherwise, as
the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities shall be unaffected thereby.
(4) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or (3) of this Section
402 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series:
(a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 608 who shall agree to
comply with the provisions of this Section 402 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for
the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and
dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (1) an amount in Dollars
or in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated
Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities (determined on the
basis of the Currency in which such Securities are then specified as payable at Stated
Maturity) which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof
in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of
any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities,
money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient,
without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of
a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to
32
pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
any, on such Outstanding Securities an the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment
of principal or interest and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments
applicable to such Outstanding Securities on the day on which such payments are due and
payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities.
(b) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.
(c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would
become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit and, with respect to defeasance only, at any time
during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood
that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).
(d) In the case of an election under clause (2) of this Section 402, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that
|
(i) |
|
the Company has received from the Internal Revenue Service a
letter ruling, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue Service a
Revenue Ruling, or |
|
|
(ii) |
|
since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a
change in the applicable Federal income tax law, |
in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders
of such Outstanding Securities 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 times as would have been the case if such defeasance
had not occurred.
(a) In the case of an election under clause (3) of this Section 402, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such
Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax
on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such covenant defeasance had not occurred.
(b) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that, after the 91st day after the date of establishment of such trust, all money and
Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301)
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee) pursuant to this clause (4) to be held in trust will not be
subject to any case or proceeding (whether voluntary or involuntary) in respect of the
33
Company under any Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar law, or any decree or order for relief in respect of the Company issued in
connection therewith.
(c) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance or covenant
defeasance under clause (2) or (3) of this Section 402 (as the case may be) have been
complied with.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 402(4), such defeasance or
covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms,
conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith
pursuant to Section 301.
(5) Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government
Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this
Section 402(5) and Section 403, the Trustee) pursuant to clause (4) of Section 402 in respect of
any Outstanding Securities of any series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon
in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
(6) Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Security, if, after a
deposit referred to in Section 402(4)(a) has been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of
which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the terms of
such Security to receive payment in a Currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 402(4)(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in
respect of the Foreign Currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) has been made,
the indebtedness represented by such Security shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully
discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and
interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Security as the same
becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the
case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into
the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion
Event based on (x) in the case of payments made pursuant to clause (a) above, the applicable market
exchange rate for such Currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, or
(y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate for such Foreign
Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.
The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge, imposed

property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (4) of this Section 402
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm

as applicable, in accordance with this Section 402.

Section 502 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (other
than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501) occurs and is continuing,
then the Trustee may, and at the direction of the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall declare the principal of all the Securities of
such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, to be
due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
the Holders), and upon any declaration the principal or such lesser amount shall become immediately
due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause
(5) or (6) of Section 501 above
occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Securities of that series
(or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series) shall become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder of any Security of such series.
At any time after a declaration of acceleration or automatic acceleration with respect to the
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due
has been obtained by the Trustee as hereafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice
to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul the declaration and its consequences if:
(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay (i)
all overdue installments of interest on all Securities of such series and any Additional Amounts
payable with respect thereto, (ii) the principal of and any premium on any Securities of the series
which have become due otherwise than by the declaration of acceleration and interest thereon and
any Additional Amounts with respect thereto at the rate or rates borne by or provided in such
Securities, (iii) interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
Securities, and (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and
(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other than the
non-payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any additional amounts with
respect to Securities of such series which shall have become due solely by the acceleration, shall
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.
Section 503 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
The Company covenants that if
(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security, or any
Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto, when such interest or Additional Amounts shall
have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 60 days, or
37
(2) default is made in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, on, or any
Additional Amounts payable in respect of any principal of or premium, if any, on any Security at
its Maturity;
the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, the whole amount of money then due and payable with respect to such
Securities, with interest upon the overdue principal, any premium and, to the extent that payment
of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest and
Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in
addition thereto, such further amount of money 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 to the Trustee under Section 607.
If the Company fails to pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the
preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the money so
due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the
same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the monies adjudged
or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any
other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may and at the direction of the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall, so long as such Holders shall have provided the
Trustee with such indemnity as it shall require, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement in this Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
Section 504 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the
Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or such other
obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue
principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,
(1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided
for in the Securities of such series, of the principal and any premium, interest and Additional
Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as
may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
38
the Trustee, its agents or counsel) and of the Holders of Securities allowed in such judicial
proceeding, and
(2) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities 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 of Securities, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such
proceeding.
Section 505 Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities 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 or
judgment, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall be for the ratable benefit of each and
every Holder of a Security in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Securities, 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 and any predecessor Trustee under Section
607;

and Additional Amounts, respectively;
THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company.

(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of such series;
(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such

the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during
such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series;
it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security to
affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any
other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and
ratable benefit of all such Holders.

and (subject to Section 305 and Section 307) interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect
to such Security, on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities therefor specified in such

option of such Holder if provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, on the date such repayment is
due) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be
impaired without the consent of such Holder.

reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such
case the Company, the Trustee and each such Holder shall, subject to any
40
determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 510 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to each and every Holder of a Security is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy, to the extent
permitted by law, shall 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, to the extent permitted by
law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 511 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article or by law to the Trustee or to any Holder of a Security may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holder, as the case may
be.
Section 512 Control by Holders of Securities.

shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with

with the Securities of any series,
(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not

(3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders of Securities
of such series not joining in such action.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
any series on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series may waive any past default
hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default
(1) in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts
with respect to, any Security of such series, or
41
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified
or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.
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 514 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Company covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company expressly waives (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) 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

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 any
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, against any party litigant in
such suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such
party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 515 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 Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to any Security on or
after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption,
on or after the Redemption Date, and, in the case of repayment, on or after the date for repayment)
or for the enforcement of the right, if any, to convert or exchange any Security into Common Stock
or other securities, cash or other property in accordance with its terms.

custodians appointed with due care by it hereunder;
(8) the Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity for any action taken or
suffered to be taken or error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or

authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any

Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application
by the Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof. Except with respect to the

Section 606 Money Held in Trust.
Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money
received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.
Section 607 Compensation and Reimbursement.
The Company agrees:
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed upon from
time to time in writing between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by the
Trustee hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(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 arising out of or in connection with the acceptance
or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or
advance as may be caused by the Trustees own negligence or willful misconduct; and
(3) to fully indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and its agents,
officers, directors and employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability,
damage, claim or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), including taxes (other
than taxes based on the income of the Trustee), incurred without negligence or willful misconduct
on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of
46
the trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending
themselves against any claim or liability (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder of Securities,
or any other Person) in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or
duties hereunder.
As security for the performance of the payment obligations of the Company under this Section,
the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any series upon all property and funds
held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal
of, and premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities. Such lien
shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after a Default or Event of
Default specified in Section 501(5) and 501(6) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for
the services (including the fees and expense of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute
expense of administration under U.S. Code, Title 11 or any other similar foreign, federal or state
law for the relief of debtors.
To the extent permitted by law any compensation or expense incurred by the Trustee after a default
specified in or pursuant to Section 501 is intended to constitute an expense of administration
under any then applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law. Trustee for purposes of this Section 607
shall include any predecessor Trustee but the negligence or willful misconduct of any Trustee
shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 607.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall the

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, 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 that no Trustee
shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the
part of any other Trustee hereunder, 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, such retiring Trustee shall have no further responsibility for the exercise of
rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under
this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, and such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,

the Trustee shall be a party, or any Corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee by sale or otherwise, shall be the successor of the Trustee
hereunder, provided such corporation shall otherwise be qualified under this Article VI without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
50
hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee
then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as
if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.
Section 612 Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue, exchange,

Trustees 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.

substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent,
shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such Corporation shall be
otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee
and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and the Company. 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, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail
written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of
Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall
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
51
effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

for its services under this Section.

pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to
or in lieu of the Trustees certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of

Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where
Securities of such series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or
exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such
series relating thereto and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such Office or Agency.
If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required 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 Company hereby
appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.
The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other Offices or Agencies where
the Securities of one or more series 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 Company of its obligation to maintain an Office or
Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company 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.
Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company hereby designates as
the Place of Payment for each series of Securities the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
and initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee located at 380 Greenwich Street,
New York, New York, 10013, as the Office or Agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York for such purpose. The Company may
59
subsequently appoint a different Office or Agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York for the Securities of any series.
Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, if and so
long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be
payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this
Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so
required, at least one exchange rate agent.
Section 1003 Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.
If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of
Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or
Additional Amounts with respect to any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency
unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are
payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series)
sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and
shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it
shall, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a
sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies
described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or
Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify
the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities (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, that such Paying Agent shall:
(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on
or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture;
(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal, any premium or interest on or
any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series; 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 Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any
60
Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying
Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same terms as those upon which such sums were
held by the Company 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 sums.
Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee
or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, any
premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or any such premium or interest or any such
Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company
Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of
such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each
Place of Payment for such series or to be mailed to Holders of Registered Securities of such
series, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein,
which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing nor shall it be
later than two years after such principal and any premium or interest or Additional Amounts shall
have become due and payable, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to
the Company.
Section 1004 Additional Amounts.
If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company
agrees to pay to the Holder of any such Security Additional Amounts as provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture or such Securities. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context,
the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of
any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts
provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in
such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such
terms, and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision
hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made.
Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of the
applicable series, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at
least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities
(or if the Securities of such series shall not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on
which a payment of principal is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of
principal or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the
below-mentioned Officers Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the principal
Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, an Officers Certificate instructing the
Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and premium, if
any, or interest on the Securities of such series shall be made to Holders of Securities of such
series who are United States Aliens (as demonstrated by delivery of appropriate tax forms) without
61
withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in
the Securities of such series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers
Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments
to such Holders of Securities, and the Company agrees to pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent
the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants to indemnify
the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in
connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers Certificate
furnished pursuant to this Section.
Section 1005 Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article Eight, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and its rights (charter and
statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Company to
preserve any such right or franchise if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business.
Section 1006 Waiver of Certain Covenants.
The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
condition set forth in Sections 1003 and 1005 with respect to the Securities of any series if
before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a 66-2/3% majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either shall waive such
compliance in such instance or generally shall have waived compliance with such term, provision or
condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to
the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of
the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.
Section 1007 Company Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Certain Defaults.
(1) If any Securities are Outstanding under this Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a written statement (which need not be
contained in or accompanied by an Officers Certificate) signed by the principal executive officer,
the principal financial officer, the principal accounting officer or other officer authorized by
the Board of Directors of the Company, stating that
(a) a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of its performance
under this Indenture has been made under his or her supervision, and
(b) to the best of his or her knowledge, based on such review, (a) the Company has
complied with all the conditions and covenants imposed on it under this Indenture throughout
such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such condition or
covenant, specifying each such default known to him or her and the nature and status
thereof, and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which is, or after
62
notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, or, if such an event
has occurred and is continuing, specifying each such event known to him or her and the
nature and status thereof.
(2) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 10 days after the occurrence thereof,
written notice of any Event of Default or any event which after notice or lapse of time or both
would become an Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) of Section 501.
(3) The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the Companys compliance with the covenants
contained in this Indenture to other than if the Trustee receives a written notice described in
Section 1007(2).
Section 1008 Calculation of Original Issue Discount.
The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a
written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual
periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (ii) such other specific

(except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article.
Section 1102 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.
The election of the Company to optionally redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of (a)
less than all of the Securities of any series or (b) all of the Securities of any series with the
same issue date, interest rate or formula, Stated Maturity and other terms, the Company shall, at
least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal
amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed.
Section 1103 Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.
If less than all of the Securities of any series with the same issue date, interest rate or
formula, Stated Maturity and other terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from
the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as
the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption
of portions of the principal amount of Registered Securities of such series;
63
provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal
amount of a Registered Security of such series not redeemed to less than the minimum denomination
for a Security of such series established herein or pursuant hereto.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than
itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to
be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal of such Securities which has been or is
to be redeemed.
Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any series,
if any Security selected for partial redemption is converted into or exchanged for Common Stock or
other securities, cash or other property in part before termination of the conversion or exchange
right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such
Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities
which have been converted or exchanged during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be
treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.
Section 1104 Notice of Redemption.
Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the
Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by
mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Registered Securities designated for
redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof.
Any notice that is mailed to the Holder of any Registered Securities in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder
receives the notice.
All notices of redemption shall state:
(1) the Redemption Date,
(2) the Redemption Price,
(3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount) of the particular
Security or Securities to be redeemed,
(4) in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such
Security shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the
Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized
denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,
64
(5) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become due and payable upon each
such Security or portion thereof to be redeemed, and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall
cease to accrue on and after said date,
(6) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price and any accrued interest and Additional Amounts pertaining thereto,
(7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case,
(8) in the case of Securities of any series that are convertible or exchangeable into Common
Stock or other securities, cash or other property, the conversion or exchange price or rate, the
date or dates on which the right to convert or exchange the principal of the Securities of such
series to be redeemed will commence or terminate and the place or places where such Securities may
be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and
(9) the CUSIP number (or any other numbers used by a Depository to identify such Securities).
A notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 106 need not identify particular
Registered Securities to be redeemed.
Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be
given by the Company or, at the Companys request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of
the Company.
Section 1105 Deposit of Redemption Price.
At or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit, with respect to the Securities of any series called for redemption pursuant to Section
1104, with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the
applicable Currency sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date
shall be an Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 or in the
Securities of such series) any accrued interest on and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, all
such Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.
Section 1106 Securities Payable on Redemption Date.
Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security
for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the
Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest and Additional Amounts to the Redemption Date;
provided, however, that, except as otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Registered Securities of such series, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose
Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
65
registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates therefor according to
their terms and the provisions of Section 307.
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal and any premium, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption Date
at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.
Section 1107 Securities Redeemed in Part.
Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any
Office or Agency for such Security (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security
without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, containing
identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered. If a Security in global form is so surrendered, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the U.S. Depository or other Depository
for such Security in global form as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to
the Trustee, without service charge, a new Security in global form in a denomination equal to and
in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so
surrendered.
Section 1108 Repurchases on the Open Market.
The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may at any time or from time to time repurchase
any of the Securities in the open market or otherwise. Such Securities may, at the option of the

cancellation.
ARTICLE TWELVE
SINKING FUNDS
Section 1201 Applicability of Article.
The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
Securities of a series, except as otherwise permitted or required in or pursuant to this Indenture
or any Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture.
The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series is herein referred to as a mandatory sinking fund payment, and any payment in excess of
such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such series is herein referred to as
an optional sinking fund payment. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the
cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202.
Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
66
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such
series and this Indenture.
Section 1202 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.
The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect
to the Securities of any series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver
Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for
redemption or any of such Securities in respect of which cash shall have been released to the
Company), and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at
the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the
application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such
Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund
payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities of any
series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 1202, the principal amount of Securities
of such series to be redeemed in order to satisfy the remaining sinking fund payment shall be less
than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon
Company Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied
to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying
Agent shall at the request of the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any
cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the
Trustee of Securities of that series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount
equal to the cash payment requested to be released to the Company.
Section 1203 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.
Not less than 75 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities,
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory
sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not
theretofore delivered. If such Officers Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added
in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be
obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 60 days before each such sinking fund
payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment
date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given
in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in Section 1106 and Section 1107.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN
REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS
Section 1301 Applicability of Article.
Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their
Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series. The
repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require
repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 309, shall not
operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee
with a directive that such Securities be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 1301, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company may
arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or
other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or
before the close of business on the repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price
payable by the Company on repayment of such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay
the repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment
is so paid by such purchasers.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN
SECURITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Section 1401 Applicability of Article.
Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action by, or the determination of any of the
rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in which not all of such Securities are denominated
in the same Currency, or (ii) any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any
provision to the contrary pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular series,
any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be treated for any
such action or distribution as that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount on
such reasonable basis of exchange and as of the record date with respect to Registered Securities
of such series (if any) for such action, determination of rights or distribution (or, if there
shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate to the date of such
action, determination of rights or distribution) as the Company may specify in a written notice to
the Trustee or, in the absence of such written notice, as the Trustee may determine.

duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such
series, whether or not such Holders were present or represented at the meeting.
Section 1505 Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such
reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities of such
series in regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of
proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other
matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise
permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the
manner specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner
specified in Section 104. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies,
regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104
or other proof.

(2) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the
meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as
provided in Section 1502(2), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series
calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons
entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
represented at the meeting.
(3) At any meeting, each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one
vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities of such series held or represented by him;
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security
challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The
chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such
series or proxy.
(4) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1502 at
which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting; and
the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.
Section 1506 Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.
The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series
shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of
Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial
numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent
chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the
meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the permanent secretary of
the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A
record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series shall be prepared by the permanent secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to
said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and
affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice
of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1502 and, if
applicable, Section 1504. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent
chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and
another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the
ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the
matters therein stated.

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