The following descriptions also describe the specific terms of Viacom's debt securities and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions summarized may apply to any series of its debt securities in the prospectus supplement relating to such series.

Bearer securities, other than those issued in global form, will be issued in denominations of $5,000. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of any debt securities, but Viacom may, except in specific cases not involving any transfer, require payment of a sufficient amount to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer or exchange. Viacom's rights and the rights of its creditors, including holders of debt securities, to participate in any distribution of assets of any Viacom subsidiary upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent that Viacom's claims as a creditor of the subsidiary may be recognized. Guarantees Viacom International may unconditionally guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and any interest on the debt securities when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption, upon acceleration or otherwise. The guarantees of the debt securities will be endorsed on the debt securities. Various federal and state fraudulent conveyance laws have been enacted for the protection of creditors and may be utilized by a court of competent jurisdiction to subordinate or avoid all or part of any guarantee issued by Viacom International. The applicable debt indentures provide that in the event that the guarantees would constitute or result in a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of, or result in a violation of, any United States federal, or applicable United States state, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law, then the liability of Viacom International under the guarantees shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation under the applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law. Application of this clause could limit the amount which holders of debt securities may be entitled to collect under the guarantees. Holders, by their acceptance of the debt securities, will have agreed to such limitations. To the extent that a court were to find that (x) a guarantee was incurred by Viacom International with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud any present or future creditor (y) Viacom International did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for issuing its guarantee and Viacom International (i) was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the issuance of the guarantee, (ii) was engaged or about to engage in a business or transaction for which the remaining assets of Viacom 6

International constituted unreasonably small capital to carry on its business or (iii) intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they matured, the court could subordinate or avoid all or part of such guarantee in favor of Viacom International's other creditors. To the extent any guarantee issued by Viacom International was voided as a fraudulent conveyance or held unenforceable for any other reason, the holders of any debt securities guaranteed by Viacom International could cease to have any claim against Viacom International and would be creditors solely of Viacom. We and Viacom International believe that the issuances of the guarantees by Viacom International are not fraudulent conveyances. There can be no assurance, however, that a court passing on such questions would reach the same conclusions. In rendering their opinions on the validity of the 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated securities and 1995 senior securities and, if applicable, the related guarantees, neither our counsel, counsel for Viacom International nor counsel for any initial purchaser will express any opinion as to federal or state laws relating to fraudulent transfers. Ranking The 2001 senior debt securities will be senior unsecured obligations of Viacom and will rank equally in right of payment with all of Viacom's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The guarantees on the 2001 senior debt securities will be senior unsecured obligations of Viacom International and will rank equally in right of payment with all of Viacom International's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The 2001 senior subordinated debt securities will be senior unsecured subordinated obligations of Viacom and will be subordinated in right of payment to Viacom's senior indebtedness. The guarantees on the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities will be senior unsecured subordinated obligations of Viacom International and will be subordinated in right of payment to Viacom International's senior indebtedness. The 1995 senior debt securities will be senior unsecured obligations of Viacom and will rank equally in right of payment with all of Viacom's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The guarantees on the 1995 senior debt securities will be senior unsecured obligations of Viacom International and will rank equally in right of payment will all of Viacom International's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The debt securities and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of Viacom or Viacom International, as the case may be, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The debt indentures do not limit the amount of debt that Viacom, Viacom International or their respective subsidiaries can incur. In addition, both Viacom International and Viacom conduct their operations through subsidiaries, which generate a substantial portion of their respective operating income and cash flow. As a result, distributions or advances from subsidiaries of Viacom and Viacom International are a major source of funds necessary to meet their respective debt service and other obligations. Contractual provisions, laws or regulations, as well as a subsidiaries' financial condition and operating requirements, may limit the ability of Viacom or Viacom International to obtain cash required to pay Viacom's debt service obligations, including payments on the debt securities, or Viacom International's payment obligations under the guarantees. The debt securities (whether senior or subordinated obligations of Viacom) will be structurally subordinated to all obligations of Viacom's subsidiaries (other than Viacom International, to the extent such debt securities are guaranteed) including claims with respect to trade payables. The guarantees (whether senior or subordinated obligations of Viacom International) will be structurally subordinated to all obligations of Viacom International's subsidiaries, including claims with respect to trade payables. This means that holders of the debt securities of Viacom will have a junior position to the 7

claims of creditors of Viacom's subsidiaries (other than Viacom International, to the extent such debt securities are guaranteed) on the assets and earnings of such subsidiaries. Holders of guarantees of Viacom International, if any, will have a junior position to the claims of creditors of Viacom International's subsidiaries on the assets and earnings of such subsidiaries and will have no claim by virtue of such guarantees against Viacom or any subsidiary of Viacom that is not a subsidiary of Viacom International. As of March 31, 2001, Viacom's subsidiaries, other than Viacom International, had approximately $2.3 billion of indebtedness outstanding, while Viacom International's subsidiaries had approximately $1.4 billion of indebtedness outstanding. Global Securities Viacom may issue debt securities of a series, in whole or in part, in the form of one or more global securities and will deposit them with or on behalf of a depositary identified in the prospectus supplement relating to that series. Viacom may issue global securities in fully registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part, for the individual debt securities represented thereby, a global security may only be transferred among the depositary, its nominees and any successors. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement relating to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series. It is anticipated that the following provisions will generally apply to depositary arrangements. Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary for the global security or its nominee will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer system the principal amounts of the individual debt securities represented by the global security to the accounts of persons that have accounts with the depositary. The accounts will be designated by the dealers, underwriters or agents with respect to the debt securities or by Viacom if the debt securities are offered and sold directly by it. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the applicable depositary participants or persons that hold interests through these participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by: o the applicable depositary or its nominee, with respect to interests of depositary participants; and o the records of depositary participants, with respect to interests of persons other than depositary participants. The laws of some states require that purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security. So long as the depositary for a global security or its nominee is the registered owner of that global security, the depositary or the nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the applicable debt indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will: o not be entitled to have any of the individual debt securities of the series represented by the global security registered in their names; 8

o not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any debt security of that series in definitive form; and o not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the applicable 2001 debt indenture governing the debt securities. 9

DESCRIPTION OF THE 2001 DEBT SECURITIES Further Issues Not all 2001 debt securities of any one series need be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the holders, for issuances of additional 2001 debt securities of such series. Payment and Paying Agents Payments of principal of, any premium on, and any interest on individual 2001 debt securities represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee as the registered owner of the global security representing the 2001 debt securities. Neither Viacom, the 2001 debt trustee, any paying agent, nor the security registrar for the 2001 debt securities will have any responsibility or liability for the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security for the 2001 debt securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests. Viacom expects that the depositary for a series of 2001 debt securities or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest in respect of a permanent global security representing any of the 2001 debt securities, will immediately credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security for the 2001 debt securities as shown on the records of the depositary or its nominee. Viacom also expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global security held through the participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name." The payments will be the responsibility of those participants. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets Under the terms of the 2001 debt indentures, Viacom and Viacom International generally would be permitted to consolidate or merge with another entity or to sell all or substantially all of our respective assets to another entity, subject to Viacom and Viacom International meeting all of the following conditions: o the resulting entity (other than Viacom or Viacom International) must agree through a supplemental indenture to be legally responsible for the 2001 debt securities; o immediately following the consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, no Event of Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing; o the surviving entity to the transaction must be a corporation organized under the laws of a state of the United States; o Viacom or Viacom International, as the case may be, must deliver certain certificates and documents to the 2001 debt trustee; and o Viacom and Viacom International, if applicable, must satisfy any other requirements specified in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of 2001 debt securities. 10

We and Viacom International may merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of our assets to each other or any of our Subsidiaries. When we make reference in this section to the sale of "all or substantially all of our assets," we mean property and assets generating revenues representing, in the aggregate, at least 80% of our total consolidated revenues. In the event that Viacom or Viacom International consolidates or merges with another entity or sells all or substantially all of its assets to another entity, the surviving entity shall be substituted for Viacom or Viacom International, as the case may be, under the 2001 debt indentures and Viacom or Viacom International, as the case may be, shall be discharged from all of its obligations under the 2001 debt indentures. Limitations on Liens We covenant in the 2001 debt indentures that we will not create, assume or permit any Lien on any of our properties or assets, unless we secure the 2001 debt securities at least equally and ratably to the secured Indebtedness. The foregoing only applies to Liens that in the aggregate exceed 15% of our total consolidated assets, reduced by the Attributable Debt related to any permitted sale and leaseback arrangement. See "-- Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions" below. The restrictions do not apply to Capitalized Leases or Indebtedness that is secured by: o Liens existing, in the case of any 2001 debt securities, on the date such 2001 debt securities are issued; o Liens on any property or any Indebtedness of a person existing at the time the person becomes a Subsidiary (whether by acquisition, merger or consolidation); o Liens in favor of us or our Subsidiaries; and o Liens existing at the time of acquisition of the assets secured thereby and purchase money Liens. The restrictions do not apply to extensions, renewals or replacements of any of the foregoing types of Liens. Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions We covenant in the 2001 debt indentures that neither we nor any Restricted Subsidiary will enter into any arrangement with any person to lease a Principal Property (except for any arrangements that exist on the date the 2001 debt securities are issued or that exist at the time any person that owns a Principal Property becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) which has been or is to be sold by us or the Restricted Subsidiary to the person unless: o the sale and leaseback arrangement involves a lease for a term of not more than three years; o the sale and leaseback arrangement is entered into between us and any Subsidiary or between our Subsidiaries; o we or the Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Principal Property at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt permitted 11

pursuant to the first paragraph under "Limitations on Liens" without having to secure equally and ratably the 2001 debt securities; o the proceeds of the sale and leaseback arrangement are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by our board of directors in good faith) of the property and we apply within 180 days after the sale an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale or the Attributable Debt associated with the property to (i) the retirement of long-term debt for borrowed money that is not subordinated to the 2001 debt securities and that is not debt to us or a Subsidiary, or (ii) the purchase or development of other comparable property; or o the sale and leaseback arrangement is entered into within 180 days after the initial acquisition of the Principal Property subject to the sale and leaseback arrangement. The term "Attributable Debt," with regard to a sale and leaseback arrangement of a Principal Property, is defined in the 2001 debt indentures as an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) the fair market value of the property (as determined in good faith by our board of directors); or (b) the present value of the total net amount of rent payments to be made under the lease during its remaining term, discounted at the rate of interest set forth or implicit in the terms of the lease, compounded semi-annually. The calculation of the present value of the total net amount of rent payments is subject to adjustments specified in the 2001 debt indentures. The term "Principal Property" is defined in the 2001 debt indentures to include any parcel of our or our Restricted Subsidiaries' real property and related fixtures or improvements located in the United States, the aggregate book value of which on the date of determination exceeds $1.0 billion. The term "Principal Property" does not include any telecommunications equipment or parcels of real property and related fixtures or improvements that are determined in good faith by our board of directors not to be of material importance to our and our Subsidiaries' total business. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of our Subsidiaries own any Principal Property. Defaults and Remedies Holders of 2001 debt securities will have specified rights if an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs in respect of the 2001 debt securities of that series, as described below. The term "Event of Default" in respect of the 2001 debt securities of a particular series means any of the following: o Viacom does not pay interest on a 2001 debt security of such series within 30 days of its due date; o Viacom does not pay the principal of or any premium on a 2001 debt security of such series when due and payable, at its maturity, or upon its acceleration or redemption; o Viacom remains in breach of a covenant or warranty in respect of an indenture for 60 days after Viacom receives a written notice of default; the notice must be sent by either the 2001 debt trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of a series of outstanding 2001 debt securities; or 12

o Viacom or Viacom International, if guarantees are issued, files for bankruptcy, or other events of bankruptcy specified in the applicable 2001debt indenture, insolvency or reorganization occur. If an Event of Default has occurred, the 2001 debt trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the 2001 debt securities of the affected series may declare the entire unpaid principal amount (and premium, if any) of, and all the accrued interest on, the 2001 debt securities of that series to be due and immediately payable. This is called a declaration of acceleration of maturity. There is no action on the part of the 2001 debt trustee or any holder of 2001 debt securities required for such declaration if the Event of Default is a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2001 debt securities of a series may also waive certain past defaults under the 2001 debt indenture on behalf of all of the holders of such series of 2001 debt securities. A declaration of acceleration of maturity may be canceled, under specified circumstances, by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of a series of 2001 debt securities and the 2001 debt trustee. Except in cases of default, where the 2001 debt trustee has special duties, a 2001 debt trustee is not required to take any action under a 2001 debt indenture at the request of holders unless the holders offer the 2001 debt trustee reasonable protection from expenses and liability satisfactory to the 2001 debt trustee. If a reasonable indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of a series of 2001 debt securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the debt trustee. The 2001 debt trustee may refuse to follow those directions in certain circumstances specified in the applicable 2001 debt indenture. No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy will be treated as a waiver of the right, remedy or Event of Default. Before holders are allowed to bypass the 2001 debt trustee and bring a lawsuit or other formal legal action or take other steps to enforce their rights or protect their interests relating to the 2001 debt securities, the following must occur: o holders must give the 2001 debt trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; o holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 2001 debt securities of a series must make a written request that the 2001 debt trustee take action because of the default and must offer the 2001 debt trustee indemnity satisfactory to the 2001 debt trustee against the cost and other liabilities of taking that action; o the 2001 debt trustee must have failed to take action for 60 days after receipt of the notice and offer of indemnity; and o holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2001 debt securities of a series must not have given the 2001 debt trustee a direction inconsistent with the above notice for a period of 60 days after the debt trustee has received the notice. Holders are, however, entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for the payment of money due on the 2001 debt securities on or after the due date. Modification of the 2001 Debt Indentures The 2001 debt indentures provide that Viacom, Viacom International, if applicable, and the 2001 debt trustee may, without the consent of any holders of 2001 debt securities, enter into supplemental indentures for the purposes, among other things, of: 13

o adding to Viacom's or Viacom International's covenants; o adding additional events of default; o change or eliminate any provisions of the 2001 debt indenture so long as there are no holders entitled to the benefit of the provisions; o establishing the form or terms of any series of 2001 debt securities; or o curing ambiguities or inconsistencies in the 2001 debt indenture or making any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the 2001 debt indentures. With specific exceptions, the 2001 debt indenture or the rights of the holders of the 2001 debt securities may be modified by Viacom, Viacom International and the 2001 debt trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2001 debt securities of each series affected by the modification then outstanding, but no modification may be made without the consent of the holders of each outstanding 2001 debt security affected which would: o change the maturity of any payment of principal of, or any premium on, or any installment of interest on any 2001 debt security; o change the terms of any sinking fund with respect to any 2001 debt security; o reduce the principal amount of, or the interest or any premium on, any 2001 debt security upon redemption or repayment at the option of the holder; o change any obligation of Viacom to pay additional amounts; o change any place of payment where, or the currency in which, any 2001 debt security or any premium or interest is payable; o impair the right to sue for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any 2001 debt security; o reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding 2001 debt securities of any series required to consent to any supplemental indenture, any waiver of compliance with provisions of a 2001 debt indenture or specific defaults and their consequences provided for in the 2001 debt indenture, or otherwise modify the sections in the 2001 debt indenture relating to these consents; or o reduce the obligations of Viacom International, if any, in respect of the due and punctual payment of principal, premium and interest, if any. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance Viacom may elect either (i) to defease and be discharged (and, if applicable, to have Viacom International defeased and discharged) from any and all obligations with respect to the 2001 debt securities (except as otherwise provided in the 2001 debt indenture) ("defeasance") or (ii) to be released from its obligations with respect to certain covenants that are described in the 2001 debt indentures ("covenant defeasance"), upon the deposit with the 2001 debt trustee, in trust for such purpose, of money and/or government obligations that through the payment of principal and interest in accordance with their 14

terms will provide money in an amount sufficient, without reinvestment, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2001 debt securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous senior payments thereon. As a condition to defeasance or covenant defeasance, Viacom must deliver to the 2001 debt trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the 2001 debt securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred. Such opinion of counsel, in the case of defeasance under clause (i) above, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of the 2001 debt indenture. Viacom may exercise its defeasance option with respect to the 2001 debt securities of any series notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If Viacom exercises its defeasance option, payment of the 2001 debt securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an event of default and the guarantees relating to such 2001 debt securities will cease to exist. If Viacom exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the 2001 debt securities of such series may not be accelerated by reference to any covenant from which Viacom is released as described under clause (ii) above. However, if acceleration were to occur for other reasons, the realizable value at the acceleration date of the money and government obligations in the defeasance trust could be less than the principal and interest then due on the 2001 debt securities of such series, in that the required deposit in the defeasance trust is based upon scheduled cash flows rather than market value, which will vary depending upon interest rates and other factors. Notices Notices to holders of 2001 debt securities will be given by mail to the addresses of such holders as they appear in the security register. Title We, Viacom International, as guarantor, the 2001 debt trustees and any agent of us, may treat the registered owner of any registered 2001 debt security as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not the 2001 debt security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary) for the purpose of making payment and for all other purposes. Replacement of 2001 Debt Securities We will replace any mutilated 2001 debt security at the expense of the holders upon surrender to the trustee. We will replace 2001 debt securities that become destroyed, lost or stolen at the expense of the holder upon delivery to the trustee of satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft thereof. In the event of a destroyed, lost or stolen 2001 debt security, an indemnity or security satisfactory to us and the 2001 debt trustee may be required at the expense of the holder of the 2001 debt security before a replacement 2001 debt security will be issued. Governing Law The 2001 debt indentures, the 2001 debt securities and the guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 15

Concerning the 2001 Debt Trustees Viacom will identify the 2001 debt trustees in the relevant prospectus supplement. In specific instances, Viacom or the holders of a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of the 2001 debt securities issued under a 2001 debt indenture may remove the 2001 debt trustee and appoint a successor trustee. The 2001 debt trustee may become the owner or pledgee of any of the 2001 debt securities with the same rights, subject to conflict of interest restrictions, it would have if it were not the 2001 debt trustee. The 2001 debt trustee and any successor trustee must be eligible to act as trustee under the Section 310(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and be subject to examination by federal or state authority. Subject to applicable law relating to conflicts of interest, the 2001 debt trustee may also serve as trustee under other indentures relating to securities issued by Viacom or its affiliated companies and may engage in commercial transactions with Viacom and its affiliated companies. The initial 2001 debt trustee under each 2001 debt indenture is The Bank of New York. 2001 Senior Debt Securities Viacom will describe the specific terms of the 2001 senior debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions summarized in this description may apply to any series of its 2001 senior debt securities in the prospectus supplement relating to that series. 2001 Senior Subordinated Debt Securities In addition to the provisions previously described in this prospectus and applicable to all 2001 debt securities, the following description of Viacom's 2001 senior subordinated debt securities summarizes the additional terms and provisions of its 2001 senior subordinated debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The specific terms of Viacom's 2001 senior subordinated debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions summarized below may apply to any series of 2001 senior subordinated debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series. Subordination. The 2001 senior subordinated debt securities will be subordinated in right of payment to Viacom's senior indebtedness to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of Viacom's senior indebtedness. Viacom may not make payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities and may not acquire, or make payment on account of any sinking fund for, the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities unless full payment of amounts then due for principal, premium, if any, and interest on all senior indebtedness by reason of the maturity thereof has been made or duly provided for in cash or in a manner satisfactory to the holders of the senior indebtedness. In addition, the senior subordinated indenture provides that if a default has occurred giving the holders of the senior indebtedness the right to accelerate the maturity of that senior indebtedness, or an event has occurred which, with the giving of notice, or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an event of default, then unless and until that event has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist, no payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities and no acquisition of, or payment on account of a sinking fund for, the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities may be made. Viacom will give prompt written notice to the 2001 senior subordinated trustee of any default under any senior indebtedness or under any agreement pursuant to which senior indebtedness may have been issued. The 2001 senior subordinated indenture provisions described in this paragraph, however, do 16

not prevent Viacom from making a sinking fund payment with 2001 senior subordinated debt securities acquired prior to the maturity of senior indebtedness or, in the case of default, prior to the default and notice thereof. Upon any distribution of assets in connection with Viacom's dissolution, liquidation or reorganization, all senior indebtedness must be paid in full before the holders of the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities are entitled to any payments whatsoever. As a result of these subordination provisions, in the event of Viacom's insolvency, holders of the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities may recover ratably less than the holders of Viacom's senior indebtedness. For purposes of the description of the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities, the term "Senior Indebtedness" of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, means the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the following, whether outstanding on the date of execution of the senior subordinated indenture or incurred or created after the execution: o indebtedness for money borrowed by it, or evidenced by securities, other than the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities or any other indebtedness which is subordinate to the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities o obligations with respect to letters of credit; o indebtedness constituting a guarantee of indebtedness of others, other than any subordinated guarantees; or o obligations under Capitalized Leases (as defined below) (other than (x) telecommunications equipment, including satellite transponders, and (y) theme park equipment and attractions); o any obligation of a third party if secured by a lien on assets; o renewals, extensions or refundings of any of the indebtedness referred to in the preceding bullet points unless, in the case of any particular indebtedness, renewal, extension or refunding, under the express provisions of the instrument creating or evidencing the same, or pursuant to which the same is outstanding, the indebtedness or the renewal, extension or refunding thereof is not superior in right of payment to the 2001 senior subordinated debt securities. Senior Indebtedness of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, will not include any obligation of the Company or the Guarantor (i) to any subsidiary of the Company or the Guarantor or to any person with respect to which the Company or the Guarantor is a subsidiary or (ii) specifically with respect to the production, distribution or acquisition of motion pictures or other programming rights, talent or publishing rights. As of March 31, 2001, a total of approximately $10.2 billion of Viacom's indebtedness was Senior Indebtedness and approximately $647 million of Viacom International's indebtedness was Senior Indebtedness. Certain Definitions The following definitions are applicable to the 2001 debt indentures: "Capitalized Lease" means any obligation of a person to pay rent or other amounts incurred with respect to real property or equipment acquired or leased by such person and used in its business that is required to be recorded as a capital lease in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied as in effect from time to time. "Indebtedness" of any person means, without duplication (i) any obligation of such person for money borrowed, (ii) any obligation of such person evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, (iii) any reimbursement obligation of such person in respect of letters of credit or 17

other similar instruments which support financial obligations which would otherwise become Indebtedness, (iv) any obligation of such person under Capitalized Leases (other than in respect of (x) telecommunications equipment including, without limitation, satellite transponders, and (y) theme park equipment and attractions), and (v) any obligation of any third party to the extent secured by a Lien on the assets of such person; provided, however, that "Indebtedness" of such person shall not include any obligation of such person (i) to any Subsidiary of such person or to any person with respect to which such person is a Subsidiary or (ii) specifically with respect to the production, distribution or acquisition of motion pictures or other programming rights, talent or publishing rights. When used with respect to Viacom, the term "Indebtedness" also includes any obligation of Viacom International specified in clauses (i) through (v) above to the extent that said Indebtedness is guaranteed by Viacom. "Lien" means any pledge, mortgage, lien, encumbrance or other security interest. "Restricted Subsidiary" means a corporation all of the outstanding voting stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by Viacom or by one or more of its Subsidiaries, or by Viacom and one or more of its Subsidiaries, which is incorporated under the laws of a State of the United States, and which owns a Principal Property. "Subsidiary" of any person means (i) a corporation a majority of the outstanding voting stock of which is at the time, directly or indirectly, owned by such person, by one or more Subsidiaries of such person, or by such person and one or more Subsidiaries thereof or (ii) any other person (other than a corporation), including, without limitation, a partnership or joint venture, in which such person, one or more Subsidiaries thereof, or such person and one or more Subsidiaries thereof, directly or indirectly, at the date of determination thereof, has at least majority ownership interest entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees thereof (or other persons performing similar functions). 18

DESCRIPTION OF THE 1995 SENIOR DEBT SECURITIES Further Issues We may from time to time without notice to, or the consent of, the holders of a series of 1995 senior debt securities, create and issue further 1995 senior debt securities of the same series, equal in rank to the 1995 senior debt securities in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the new notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of the new notes) so that the new notes may be consolidated and form a single series with the relevant series of 1995 senior debt securities and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the relevant series of 1995 senior debt securities. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets Under the terms of the 1995 senior indenture, we and Viacom International generally would be permitted to consolidate or merge with another corporation. We and Viacom International would also be permitted to sell all or substantially all of our assets to another person. However, neither we nor Viacom International may take any of these actions unless all the following conditions are met: o the merger, consolidation or sale of assets must not cause an Event of Default. See "-- Defaults and Remedies" below. An Event of Default for this purpose would also include any event that would be an Event of Default if the notice or time requirements were disregarded; o the person we would merge or consolidate with or sell all or substantially all of our assets to must be organized under the laws of any state of the United States; o the person we would merge or consolidate with or sell all or substantially all of our assets to must agree to be legally responsible for the outstanding securities issued under the 1995 senior indenture; and o we or Viacom International must deliver specified certificates and documents to the 1995 senior debt trustee. We and Viacom International may merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of our assets to each other or any of our Subsidiaries. When we make reference in this section to the sale of "all or substantially all of our assets," we mean property and assets generating revenues representing, in the aggregate, at least 80% of our total consolidated revenues. In the event that Viacom or Viacom International consolidates or merges with another entity or sells all or substantially all of its assets to another entity, the surviving entity shall be substituted for Viacom or Viacom International, as the case may be, under the 1995 senior indenture and Viacom or Viacom International, as the case may be, shall be discharged from all of its obligations under the 1995 senior indenture. Limitations on Liens We covenant in the 1995 senior indenture that we will not create, assume or permit any Lien on any of our properties or assets, unless we secure the 1995 senior debt securities at least equally and ratably to the secured Indebtedness. The foregoing only applies to Liens that in the aggregate exceed 15% of our total consolidated assets, reduced by the Attributable Debt related to any permitted sale and 19

leaseback arrangement. See "-- Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions" below. The restrictions do not apply to Capitalized Leases or Indebtedness that is secured by: o Liens existing, in the case of any 1995 senior debt securities, on the date such 1995 senior debt securities are issued; o Liens on any property or any Indebtedness of a person existing at the time the person becomes a Subsidiary (whether by acquisition, merger or consolidation); o Liens in favor of us or our Subsidiaries; and o Liens existing at the time of acquisition of the assets secured thereby and purchase money Liens. The restrictions do not apply to extensions, renewals or replacements of any of the foregoing types of Liens. Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions We covenant in the 1995 senior indenture that neither we nor any Restricted Subsidiary will enter into any arrangement with any person to lease a Principal Property (except for any arrangements that exist on the date the 1995 senior debt securities are issued or that exist at the time any person that owns a Principal Property becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) which has been or is to be sold by us or the Restricted Subsidiary to the person unless: o the sale and leaseback arrangement involves a lease for a term of not more than three years; o the sale and leaseback arrangement is entered into between us and any Subsidiary or between our Subsidiaries; o we or the Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur indebtedness secured by a Lien on the Principal Property at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt permitted pursuant to the first paragraph under "Limitations on Liens" without having to secure equally and ratably the 1995 senior debt securities; o the proceeds of the sale and leaseback arrangement are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by our board of directors in good faith) of the property and we apply within 180 days after the sale an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of the sale or the Attributable Debt associated with the property to (i) the retirement of long-term debt for borrowed money that is not subordinated to the 1995 senior debt securities and that is not debt to us or a Subsidiary, or (ii) the purchase or development of other comparable property; or o the sale and leaseback arrangement is entered into within 180 days after the initial acquisition of the Principal Property subject to the sale and leaseback arrangement. The term "Attributable Debt," with regard to a sale and leaseback arrangement of a Principal Property, is defined in the 1995 senior indenture as an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) the fair market value of the property (as determined in good faith by our board of directors); or (b) the present value of the total net amount of rent payments to be made under the lease during its remaining term, discounted at 20

the rate of interest set forth or implicit in the terms of the lease, compounded semi-annually. The calculation of the present value of the total net amount of rent payments is subject to adjustments specified in the 1995 senior indenture. The term "Principal Property" is defined in the 1995 senior indenture to include any parcel of our or our Restricted Subsidiaries' real property and related fixtures or improvements located in the United States, the aggregate book value of which on the date of determination exceeds $1.0 billion. The term "Principal Property" does not include any telecommunications equipment or parcels of real property and related fixtures or improvements that are determined in good faith by our board of directors not to be of material importance to our and our Subsidiaries' total business. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of our Subsidiaries own any Principal Property. Defaults and Remedies Holders of 1995 senior debt securities have specified rights if an Event of Default occurs in respect of the 1995 senior debt securities of that series, as described below. The term "Event of Default" in respect of the 1995 senior debt securities means any of the following: o we do not pay interest on a 1995 senior debt security of such series within 30 days of its due date; o we do not pay the principal of or any premium on a 1995 senior debt security of such series on its due date; o we remain in breach of a covenant or warranty in respect of the 1995 senior indenture for 60 days after we receive a written notice of default. The notice must be sent by either the trustee or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of a series of outstanding 1995 senior debt securities; o we are in default under agreements under which we have Indebtedness outstanding in excess of $250 million in the aggregate and which Indebtedness is due either at maturity or has been declared due prior to maturity and remains unpaid; o we fail to pay a money judgment in excess of $250 million for a period of 60 days after it becomes final and not subject to further appeal; or o we or Viacom International file for bankruptcy, or other specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur. If an Event of Default has occurred, the 1995 senior debt trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the 1995 senior debt securities of the affected series may declare the entire principal amount and premium, if any, and all the accrued interest on, the 1995 senior debt securities of that series to be due and immediately payable. This is called a declaration of acceleration of maturity. There is no action on the part of the 1995 senior debt trustee or any holder of 1995 senior debt securities required for such declaration if the Event of Default is a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the 1995 senior debt securities of a series may also waive certain past defaults under the 1995 senior indenture on behalf of all of the holders of such series of 1995 senior debt securities. A declaration of acceleration of maturity may be canceled, under specified 21

circumstances, by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of a series of 1995 senior debt securities. Except in cases of default, where the 1995 senior debt trustee has special duties, the 1995 senior debt trustee is not required to take any action under the 1995 senior indenture at the request of holders unless the holders offer the 1995 senior debt trustee reasonable protection from expenses and liability satisfactory to the 1995 senior debt trustee. If a reasonable indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of a series of 1995 senior debt securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the 1995 senior debt trustee. The 1995 senior debt trustee may refuse to follow those directions in specified circumstances. No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy will be treated as a waiver of the right, remedy or Event of Default. Before holders are allowed to bypass the 1995 senior debt trustee and bring a lawsuit or other formal legal action or take other steps to enforce their rights or protect their interests relating to the 1995 senior debt securities, the following must occur: o holders must give the 1995 senior debt trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; o holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of a series must make a written request that the 1995 senior debt trustee take action because of the default and must offer the 1995 senior debt trustee indemnity satisfactory to the 1995 senior debt trustee against the cost and other liabilities of taking that action; o the 1995 senior debt trustee must have failed to take action for 60 days after receipt of the notice and offer of indemnity; and o holders of a majority in principal amount of the 1995 senior debt securities of a series must not have given the 1995 senior debt trustee a direction inconsistent with the above notice. Holders of 1995 senior debt securities are, however, entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for the payment of money due on those 1995 senior debt securities on or after the due date. We are required to furnish to the 1995 senior debt trustee an annual statement as to our performance of our obligations under the 1995 senior indenture and as to any default in such performance. We are also required to notify the 1995 senior debt trustee of any event that is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. Payment and Paying Agents Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 1995 senior debt securities will be payable, subject to any applicable laws and regulations, at the office of our paying agent or paying agents that we may designate from time to time, except that at our option, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto at the address in the security register. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will pay interest on the 1995 senior debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the 1995 senior debt security (or predecessor 1995 senior debt security) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such interest. 22

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the corporate trust office of the 1995 senior debt trustee will be designated as our paying agent for payments with respect to the 1995 senior debt securities of each series. We may at any time designate additional paying agents or rescind the designation of any paying agent or approve a change in the office through which any paying agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the series. Any money paid by us or Viacom International, as guarantor, to a paying agent for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any 1995 senior debt security of any series that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us or Viacom International, as guarantor, as the case may be, and the holder of such 1995 senior debt security may thereafter look only to us and Viacom International for that payment. Meetings, Modification and Waiver The 1995 senior debt indenture provides that Viacom, Viacom International, if applicable, and the 1995 senior debt trustee may, without the consent of any holders of 1995 senior debt securities, enter into supplemental indentures for the purposes, among other things, of: o adding to Viacom or Viacom International's covenants; o adding additional events of default; o change or eliminate any provisions of the 1995 debt indenture so long as there are no holders entitled to the benefit of the provisions; o establishing the form or terms of any series of debt securities; or o curing ambiguities or inconsistencies in the debt indenture or making other provisions. Modifications and amendments of the 1995 senior indenture may be made by us, Viacom International, as guarantor, and the 1995 senior debt trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of each series affected by such modification or amendment; provided, however, that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holders of each outstanding 1995 senior debt security affected thereby, (a) change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any 1995 senior debt security or the terms of any sinking fund or analogous payment with respect to any 1995 senior debt security, (b) reduce the principal amount of, or premium or interest on, any 1995 senior debt security, (c) change our obligation to pay additional amounts, (d) reduce the amount of principal of an original issue discount 1995 senior debt security payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof or provable in bankruptcy, (e) change the place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any 1995 senior debt security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, (f) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any 1995 senior debt security, (g) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for modification or amendment of the 1995 senior indenture or for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the 1995 senior indenture or for waiver of certain defaults, (h) reduce the requirements contained in the 1995 senior indenture for quorum or voting, (i) change our obligation to maintain an office or agency in the places and for the purposes required by the 1995 senior indenture, or (j) reduce the obligations of Viacom International, if any, in respect of the due and punctual payment of any principal of, premium or interest on any 1995 senior debt security or any additional amounts in respect thereof. 23

The holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of a series may, on behalf of the holders of all the 1995 senior debt securities of that series, waive, insofar as that series is concerned, our compliance with specified provisions of the 1995 senior indenture. The holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of a series may, on behalf of all holders of 1995 senior debt securities of that series, waive any past default under the 1995 senior indenture with respect to 1995 senior debt securities of that series, except a default (a) in the payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any 1995 senior debt security of such series or (b) in respect of any other provision of the 1995 senior indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding 1995 senior debt security of such series affected thereby. The 1995 senior indenture provides that, in determining whether the holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver thereunder or are present at a meeting of holders of 1995 senior debt securities for quorum purposes, the principal amount of an original issue discount senior security that shall be deemed to be outstanding shall be the amount that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the maturity thereof. The 1995 senior indenture contains provisions for convening meetings of the holders of 1995 senior debt securities of any or all series. A meeting may be called at any time by the 1995 senior debt trustee, and also, upon request, by us or the holders of at least 33 1/3% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of such series, in any such case upon notice given in accordance with "Notices" below. Except for any consent that must be given by the holder of each outstanding 1995 senior debt security affected thereby, as described above, any resolution presented at a meeting or adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of that series; provided, however, that, except for any consent that must be given by the holder of each outstanding 1995 senior debt security affected thereby, as described above, any resolution with respect to any consent, waiver, request, demand, notice, authorization, direction or other action that may be made, given or taken by the holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present only by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than such specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of that series. Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of holders of 1995 senior debt securities of any series duly held in accordance with the 1995 senior indenture will be binding on all holders of 1995 senior debt securities of that series. The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution, and at any adjourned meeting, will be persons holding or representing a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of a series; provided, however, that, if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent, waiver, request, demand, notice, authorization, direction or other action that may be given by the holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of a series, the persons holding or representing such specified percentage in principal amount of the outstanding 1995 senior debt securities of such series will constitute a quorum. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance We may elect either (i) to defease and be discharged (and, if applicable, to have Viacom International defeased and discharged) from any and all obligations with respect to the 1995 senior debt securities (except as otherwise provided in the 1995 senior indenture) ("defeasance") or (ii) to be released from our obligations with respect to certain covenants that are described in the 1995 senior indenture 24

("covenant defeasance"), upon the deposit with the 1995 senior debt trustee, in trust for such purpose, of money and/or specified government obligations that through the payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient, without reinvestment, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 1995 senior debt securities of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous senior payments thereon. As a condition to defeasance or covenant defeasance, we must deliver to the 1995 senior debt trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the 1995 senior debt securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred. Such opinion of counsel, in the case of defeasance under clause (i) above, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of the 1995 senior indenture. We may exercise our defeasance option with respect to the 1995 senior debt securities of any series notwithstanding the prior exercise of our covenant defeasance option. If we exercise our defeasance option, payment of the 1995 senior debt securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an event of default and the guarantees relating to such 1995 senior debt securities will cease to exist. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option, payment of the 1995 senior debt securities of such series may not be accelerated by reference to any covenant from which we are released as described under clause (ii) above. However, if acceleration were to occur for other reasons, the realizable value at the acceleration date of the money and government obligations in the defeasance trust could be less than the principal and interest then due on the 1995 senior debt securities of such series, in that the required deposit in the defeasance trust is based upon scheduled cash flows rather than market value, which will vary depending upon interest rates and other factors. Notices Notices to holders of 1995 senior debt securities will be given by mail to the addresses of such holders as they appear in the security register. Title We, Viacom International, as guarantor, the 1995 senior debt trustee and any agent of us, may treat the registered owner of any registered 1995 senior debt security as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not the 1995 senior debt security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary) for the purpose of making payment and for all other purposes. Replacement of 1995 Senior Debt Securities We will replace any mutilated 1995 senior debt security at the expense of the holders upon surrender to the trustee. We will replace 1995 senior debt securities that become destroyed, lost or stolen at the expense of the holder upon delivery to the trustee of satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft thereof. In the event of a destroyed, lost or stolen 1995 senior debt security, an indemnity or security satisfactory to us and the 1995 senior debt trustee may be required at the expense of the holder of the 1995 senior debt security before a replacement 1995 senior debt security will be issued. Governing Law The 1995 senior indenture, the 1995 senior debt securities and the guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 25

Regarding the 1995 Senior Debt Trustee We and Viacom International maintain deposit accounts and banking and borrowing relations with Citibank, N.A., the 1995 senior debt trustee under the 1995 senior indenture, and such 1995 senior debt trustee is currently a lender to us and Viacom International and certain of our other subsidiaries. We may remove the 1995 senior debt trustee at any time with respect to the 1995 senior debt securities of any series, provided that we immediately appoint a successor trustee meeting the requirements for trustees specified in the 1995 senior indenture and provided further that no default with respect to such 1995 senior debt securities has occurred and is continuing. Certain Definitions The following definitions are applicable to the 1995 senior indenture: "Capitalized Lease" means any obligation of a person to pay rent or other amounts incurred with respect to real property or equipment acquired or leased by such person and used in its business that is required to be recorded as a capital lease in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied as in effect from time to time. "Indebtedness" of any person means, without duplication (i) any obligation of such person for money borrowed, (ii) any obligation of such person evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments, (iii) any reimbursement obligation of such person in respect of letters of credit or other similar instruments which support financial obligations which would otherwise become Indebtedness, (iv) any obligation of such person under Capitalized Leases (other than in respect of (x) telecommunications equipment including, without limitation, satellite transponders, and (y) theme park equipment and attractions), and (v) any obligation of any third party to the extent secured by a Lien on the assets of such person; provided, however, that "Indebtedness" of such person shall not include any obligation of such person (a) to any Subsidiary of such person or to any person with respect to which such person is a Subsidiary or (b) specifically with respect to the production, distribution or acquisition of motion pictures or other programming rights, talent or publishing rights. When used with respect to Viacom, the term "Indebtedness" also includes any obligation of Viacom International specified in clauses (i) through (v) above to the extent that said Indebtedness is guaranteed by Viacom. "Lien" means any pledge, mortgage, lien, encumbrance or other security interest. "Restricted Subsidiary" means a corporation all of the outstanding voting stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by Viacom or by one or more of its Subsidiaries, or by Viacom and one or more of its Subsidiaries, which is incorporated under the laws of a State of the United States, and which owns a Principal Property. "Subsidiary" of any person means (i) a corporation a majority of the outstanding voting stock of which is at the time, directly or indirectly, owned by such person, by one or more Subsidiaries of such person, or by such person and one or more Subsidiaries thereof or (ii) any other person (other than a corporation), including, without limitation, a partnership or joint venture, in which such person, one or more Subsidiaries thereof, or such person and one or more Subsidiaries thereof, directly or indirectly, at the date of determination thereof, has at least majority ownership interest entitled to vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees thereof (or other persons performing similar functions). 26

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK The following description sets forth certain general terms of preferred stock which Viacom may issue. The terms of any series of the preferred stock will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the preferred stock being offered. The description set forth below and in any prospectus supplement is not complete, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, Viacom's restated certificate of incorporation, and the certificate of designations relating to each particular series of the preferred stock, which was or will be filed with the SEC at or before the issuance of the series of preferred stock. Terms of the Preferred Stock Under Viacom's restated certificate of incorporation Viacom is authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The board of directors of Viacom has the authority, without approval of the stockholders, to issue all of the shares of preferred stock which are currently authorized in one or more series and to fix the number of shares and the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of each series. As of March 31, 2001, Viacom had 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of each series of preferred stock, including, where applicable, the following: o the designation, stated value, liquidation preference and number of shares offered; o the offering price or prices; o the dividend rate or rates, or method of calculation, the dividend periods, the date on which dividends shall be payable and whether dividends are cumulative or noncumulative and, if cumulative, the dates from which dividends begin to accumulate; o any redemption or sinking fund provisions; o any conversion or exchange provisions; o any voting rights; o whether the preferred stock will be issued in certificated or book-entry form; o whether the preferred stock will be listed on a national securities exchange; o information with respect to any book-entry procedures; o a discussion of any material federal income tax and other special considerations, procedures and limitations relating to the preferred stock; and o any additional rights, preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions of the preferred stock which are not inconsistent with the provisions of the restated certificate of incorporation. The preferred stock will be, when issued against payment, fully paid and nonassessable. Holders will have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional securities which Viacom may issue. Unless 27

otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the shares of each series of preferred stock will rank equally with all other outstanding series of preferred stock issued by Viacom as to payment of dividends, other than with respect to cumulation of dividends, and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Viacom. As of March 31, 2001, there were no shares of Viacom's preferred stock outstanding. Each series of preferred stock will rank senior to the common stock, and any other stock of Viacom that is expressly made junior to that series of preferred stock. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Bank of New York will be the transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and registrar for the shares of the preferred stock. Viacom's rights and the rights of holders of Viacom securities, including the holders of preferred stock, to participate in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary of Viacom upon its liquidation or recapitalization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors and preferred stockholders, except to the extent Viacom may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary or a holder of preferred stock of the subsidiary. Dividends and Distributions Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, holders of shares of the preferred stock will be entitled to receive, as, if and when declared by the board of directors of Viacom or a duly authorized committee of the board of directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cash dividends at the rate set forth in, or calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in, the prospectus supplement relating to the preferred stock being offered. Dividends on the preferred stock may be cumulative or noncumulative as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Dividends on the cumulative preferred stock will accumulate from the date of original issue and will be payable as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the applicable dividend period with respect to a dividend payment date. If the board of directors of Viacom or a duly authorized committee of the board of directors fails to declare a dividend on any series of noncumulative preferred stock for any dividend period, Viacom will have no obligation to pay a dividend for that period, whether or not dividends on that series of noncumulative preferred stock are declared for any future dividend period. No dividends will be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the preferred stock of any series ranking, as to dividends, equally with or junior to any other series of preferred stock for any period unless dividends have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of those dividends has been set apart for: o in the case of cumulative preferred stock, all dividend periods terminating on or before the date of payment of full cumulative dividends; or o in the case of noncumulative preferred stock, the immediately preceding dividend period. When dividends are not paid in full upon any series of preferred stock, and any other preferred stock ranking equally as to dividends with that series of preferred stock, all dividends declared upon shares of that series of preferred stock and any other preferred stock ranking equally as to dividends will be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on that series of preferred stock and any other preferred stock ranking equally as to dividends will in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the shares of that series of preferred stock and the other preferred stock bear to each other. In the case of noncumulative preferred stock, any accrued dividends described in 28

the immediately preceding paragraph will not include any cumulation in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods. Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph or the applicable prospectus supplement unless full dividends on all outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock have been declared and paid, in the case of a series of cumulative preferred stock, for all past dividend periods, or in the case of noncumulative preferred stock, for the immediately preceding dividend period, Viacom may not declare dividends or pay or set aside for payment or other distribution on any of its capital stock ranking junior to or equally with that series of preferred stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, the common stock of Viacom or other capital stock of Viacom ranking junior to that series of preferred stock as to dividends and upon liquidation, and other than in connection with the distribution or trading of any of its capital stock, Viacom may not redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire any of its capital stock ranking junior to or equally with that series of preferred stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, for any consideration or any moneys paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any of its capital stock, except by conversion or exchange for capital stock of Viacom ranking junior to that series of preferred stock as to dividends and upon liquidation. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the amount of dividends payable for any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months, a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in any period of less than one month. Liquidation Preference Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Viacom, the holders of the preferred stock will have preference and priority over the common stock of Viacom and any other class of stock of Viacom ranking junior to the preferred stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, for payments out of or distributions of the assets of Viacom or proceeds from any liquidation, of the amount per share set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, to the date of final distribution to such holders. After any liquidating payment, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to any other payments. Redemption If specified in the prospectus supplement relating to a series of preferred stock being offered, Viacom may, at its option, at any time or from time to time, redeem that series of preferred stock, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices and on the dates set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. If less than all outstanding shares of a series of preferred stock is to be redeemed, the selection of the shares to be redeemed shall be determined by lot or pro rata as may be determined to be equitable by the board of directors of Viacom or a duly authorized committee of the board of directors. From and after the redemption date, unless Viacom is in default in providing for the payment of the redemption price, dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares of that series of preferred stock called for redemption and all rights of the holders shall cease, other than the right to receive the redemption price. Voting Rights Unless otherwise described in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the preferred stock will have no voting rights except as required by law. 29

Conversion or Exchange Rights The prospectus supplement relating to a series of preferred stock that is convertible or exchangeable will state the terms on which shares of that series are convertible or exchangeable into common stock, another series of preferred stock or debt securities. Preferred Stock Guarantees The following description summarizes the general terms and provisions of the preferred stock guarantees that may be executed and delivered by Viacom International for the benefit of the holders from time to time of our preferred stock. The terms and provisions of each preferred stock guarantee will be as set forth in each preferred stock guarantee. This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of preferred stock guarantee agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. General Pursuant to each preferred stock guarantee, Viacom International will irrevocably and unconditionally agree to pay in full, to the holders of our preferred stock, certain payments, to the extent not paid by us, [regardless of any defense, right of set-off or counterclaim that we may have or assert]. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following payments or distributions with respect to our preferred stock will be subject to the preferred stock guarantee: o the redemption price, including all accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption, with respect to any preferred stock called for redemption by Viacom; and o upon our voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination, the aggregate of the liquidation amount and all accrued and unpaid dividends on that preferred stock to the date of payment, to the extent that we have funds available. We will refer to these amounts as "guarantee payments" in this description. The obligation of Viacom International to make a guarantee payment may be satisfied by direct payment of the required amounts by Viacom International to the holders of preferred stock or by our payment of those amounts to those holders. In the event of a redemption or our voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up or termination, the obligations of Viacom International under any issued preferred stock guarantees will in the aggregate provide a full and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis by Viacom International of payments due on the preferred stock, as further described below. Certain Covenants of Viacom International Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, so long as any shares of preferred stock issued by us which are guaranteed by Viacom International are outstanding, Viacom International will not make any payment with respect to any capital stock issued by Viacom International, if at such time it is in default with respect to the guarantee payments or other payment obligations under the preferred stock guarantee. 30

Amendments and Assignment Except with respect to any changes that do not adversely affect the rights of holders of preferred stock, in which case no consent will be required, a preferred stock guarantee can be amended only with the prior approval of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% of the preferred stock. The manner of obtaining an approval of holders of the preferred stock will be described in an accompanying prospectus supplement. All guarantees and agreements contained in a preferred stock guarantee shall bind the successors, assignees, receivers, trustees and representatives of Viacom International and shall inure to the benefit of the holders of our preferred stock then outstanding. Except in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale involving Viacom that is permitted under the preferred stock guarantee agreement, Viacom International may not assign its obligations under any preferred stock guarantee. Termination of the Preferred Stock Guarantees Each preferred stock guarantee will terminate and be of no further force and effect as to any series of our preferred stock upon full payment of the redemption price of all shares of preferred stock of that series, or upon the full payment of amounts payable upon our liquidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each preferred stock guarantee will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any holder of our preferred stock must restore payment of any sums paid under such preferred stock or such guarantee. Status of the Preferred Stock Guarantees The obligations of Viacom International under each preferred stock guarantee to make any guarantee payments will be an unsecured obligation of Viacom International and will rank: o subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of Viacom International's other liabilities, except those made pari passu or subordinate by their terms, o senior to all capital stock at any time issued by Viacom International and to any guarantee now or hereafter entered into by Viacom International in respect of any of its capital stock, and o proportionally and equally with each other preferred stock guarantee. Each preferred stock guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. A guaranteed party may institute a legal proceeding directly against the guarantor to enforce its rights under the guarantee without first instituting a legal proceeding against any other person or entity. Any holder of our preferred stock may institute a legal proceeding directly against Viacom International to enforce its rights under a preferred stock guarantee, without first instituting a legal proceeding against us or any other person or entity. Limitation of Guarantor's Liability Various federal and state fraudulent conveyance laws have been enacted for the protection of creditors and may be utilized by a court of competent jurisdiction to subordinate or avoid all or part of any guarantee issued by Viacom International. For a discussion of fraudulent conveyance laws, as applicable to upstream guarantees, such as the preferred stock guarantees, see "General Description of the Debt Securities -- Guarantees." 31

Governing Law The preferred stock guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK The authorized common stock of Viacom as set forth in its restated certificate of incorporation consists of 750,000,000 shares of Viacom Class A common stock and 10,000,000,000 shares of Viacom Class B common stock. Viacom is not registering with the SEC and is therefore not permitted to offer or sell any shares of Viacom Class A common stock pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Viacom is only registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission shares of Viacom Class B common stock as may from time to time be issued upon conversion of 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities, 1995 senior debt securities or preferred stock. Viacom Class A Common Stock As of March 31, 2001, there were approximately 137,500,000 shares of Viacom Class A common stock issued and outstanding. Shares of Viacom Class A common stock are not redeemable. Holders of shares of Viacom Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share.

At the present time, however, there are no outstanding shares of any other class of capital stock of Viacom entitled to vote. Under Viacom's restated certificate of incorporation: o each holder of an outstanding share of Viacom Class A common stock is entitled to cast one vote for each share registered in the name of the holder, and o the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Viacom Class A common stock is necessary to approve any consolidation or merger of Viacom with or into another corporation pursuant to which shares of Viacom Class A common stock would be converted into or exchanged for any securities or other consideration. A holder of an outstanding share of Viacom Class B common stock is not entitled to vote on any question presented to the shareholders of Viacom including, but not limited, to whether to increase or decrease, but not below the number of shares then outstanding, the number of authorized shares of Viacom Class B common stock. However, under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a holder of an outstanding share of Viacom Class B common stock is entitled to vote on any proposed amendment to 32

Viacom's restated certificate of incorporation, if the amendment will increase or decrease the par value of the shares of Viacom Class B common stock, or alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of Viacom Class B common stock so as to affect them adversely. Subject to the foregoing, any future change in the number of authorized shares of Viacom Class B common stock or any consolidation or merger of Viacom with or into another corporation pursuant to which shares of Viacom Class B common stock would be converted into or exchanged for any securities or other consideration could be consummated with the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Viacom Class A common stock and without any action by the holders of shares of Viacom Class B common stock. Dividends.

Split, Subdivision or Combination. If Viacom splits, subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of Viacom Class A common stock or Viacom Class B common stock, the outstanding shares of the other class of Viacom common stock shall be proportionally split, subdivided or combined in the same manner and on the same basis as the outstanding shares of the other class of Viacom common stock have been split, subdivided or combined. Preemptive Rights. Shares of Viacom Class A common stock and Viacom Class B common stock do not entitle a holder to any preemptive rights enabling a holder to subscribe for or receive shares of stock of any class or any other securities convertible into shares of stock of any class of Viacom. The board of directors of Viacom possesses the power to issue shares of authorized but unissued Viacom Class A common stock and Viacom Class B common stock without further shareholder action, subject to the requirements of applicable law and stock exchanges, unless National Amusements, Inc. would no longer hold a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock of Viacom as a result of the issuance. The number of authorized shares of Viacom Class A common stock and Viacom Class B common stock could be increased with the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Viacom Class A common stock and without any action by the holders of shares of Viacom Class B common stock. Trading Market. The outstanding shares of Viacom Class A common stock and Viacom Class B common stock are listed for trading on the NYSE. The registrar and transfer agent for Viacom common stock is The Bank of New York. Alien Ownership. Viacom's restated certificate of incorporation provides that Viacom may prohibit the ownership or voting of a percentage of its equity securities in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. 33

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS Viacom may issue warrants for the purchase of its 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities, 1995 senior debt securities or shares of preferred stock. The warrants may be co-issued by Viacom International when the securities with respect to which the warrants are issued will be guaranteed by Viacom International. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any 2001 senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities, 1995 senior debt securities or shares of preferred stock offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities, 1995 senior debt securities or shares of preferred stock. The warrants are to be issued under warrant agreements to be entered into among Viacom, Viacom International as co-issuer, if applicable, and The Bank of New York, as warrant agent, or such other bank or trust company as is named in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular issue of warrants. The warrant agent will act solely as an agent of Viacom in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of warrants or beneficial owners of warrants. General If warrants are offered, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the warrants, including the following: o the offering price; o the currency, currencies or currency units for which warrants may be purchased; o the designation, aggregate principal amount, currency, currencies or currency units and terms of 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities or 1995 senior debt securities purchasable upon exercise of the debt warrants and the price at which the 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities or 1995 senior debt securities may be purchased upon such exercise; o the designation, number of shares and terms of the preferred stock purchasable upon exercise of the preferred stock warrants and the price at which the shares of preferred stock may be purchased upon such exercise; o if applicable, the designation and terms of 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities, 1995 senior debt securities or preferred stock with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt security, 1995 senior debt securities or share of preferred stock; o if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities, 1995 senior debt securities or preferred stock will be separately transferable; o the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire; o whether the warrants will be issued in registered or bearer form; 34

o a discussion of any material federal income tax and other special considerations, procedures and limitations relating to the warrants; and o any other terms of the warrants. Warrants may be exchanged for new warrants of different denominations. If in registered form, the warrants may be presented for registration of transfer. The Warrants may be exercised at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement. Before the exercise of their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the various securities purchasable upon the exercise, including the right to receive payments of principal of, any premium on, or any interest on, 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities or 1995 senior debt securities purchasable upon the exercise or to enforce the covenants in the applicable indenture or to receive payments of dividends, if any, on the preferred stock purchasable upon their exercise or to exercise any applicable right to vote. If Viacom maintains the ability to reduce the exercise price of any preferred stock warrant and the right is triggered, it will comply with federal securities laws, including Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act, to the extent applicable. Exercise of Warrants Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase a principal amount of 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities, 1995 senior debt securities or a number of shares of preferred stock at the exercise price as will in each case be set forth in, or calculable from, the prospectus supplement relating to the warrant. Warrants may be exercised at the times that are set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants. After the close of business on the date on which the warrant expires, or any later date to which Viacom may extend the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. Subject to any restrictions and additional requirements that may be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating thereto, warrants may be exercised by delivery to the warrant agent of the certificate evidencing the warrants properly completed and duly executed and of payment as provided in the prospectus supplement of the amount required to purchase the 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities, 1995 senior debt securities or shares of preferred stock purchasable upon the exercise. The exercise price will be the price applicable on the date of payment in full, as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants. Upon receipt of the payment and the certificate representing the warrants to be exercised, properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, Viacom will, as soon as practicable, issue and deliver the 2001 senior debt securities, 2001 senior subordinated debt securities, 1995 senior debt securities or shares of preferred stock purchasable upon the exercise, and, if applicable, Viacom International will issue guarantees relating to those securities. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by a certificate are exercised, a new certificate will be issued for the remaining amount of warrants. Additional Provisions The exercise price payable and the number of shares of preferred stock purchasable upon the exercise of each stock warrant will be subject to adjustment in specific events, including the issuance of a stock dividend to holders of preferred stock, or a combination, subdivision or reclassification of preferred stock. In lieu of adjusting the number of shares of preferred stock purchasable upon exercise of each stock warrant, Viacom may elect to adjust the number of preferred stock warrants. No adjustment in the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of the preferred stock warrants will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at least 1% thereof. Viacom may, at its option, reduce 35

the exercise price at any time. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of preferred stock warrants, but Viacom will pay the cash value of any fractional shares otherwise issuable. In case of any consolidation, merger, or sale or conveyance of the property of Viacom as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the holder of each outstanding preferred stock warrant will have the right upon the exercise to the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property, including cash, receivable by a holder of the number of shares of preferred stock into which the stock warrants were exercisable immediately prior thereto. No Rights as Shareholders Holders of preferred stock warrants will not be entitled, by virtue of being the holders, to vote, to consent, to receive dividends, to receive notice as shareholders with respect to any meeting of shareholders for the election of the directors or any other matter, or to exercise any rights whatsoever as its shareholders, with respect to either Viacom or Viacom International. 36

The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters' obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities. We may sell the securities through agents from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and any commissions we pay to them. Generally, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities from Viacom at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for soliciting these contracts.

PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution. The following table sets forth the costs and expenses payable by Viacom in connection with the sale of the securities being registered hereby. All amounts are estimates except the registration fee. The costs and expenses set forth in the following table represent the sum of the costs and expenses of Registration Statement No. 333-52728 together with the incremental costs associated with this Registration Statement. Amounts to be Paid Registration fee.........................................$ 1,250,000 Legal fees and expenses.................................. 700,000 Blue Sky fees............................................ 50,000 Printing................................................. 500,000 Trustee fees............................................. 150,000 Rating agency fees....................................... 1,000,000 Accounting fees and expenses............................. 125,000 Miscellaneous............................................ 125,000 TOTAL....................................................$ 3,900,000 ============ Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify any of its directors or officers who is or was a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any third party proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of a corporation, the corporation is permitted to indemnify directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors or officers are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. Expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by any such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by it of an undertaking of such person to repay such expenses if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Delaware law does not permit a corporation to indemnify persons against judgments in actions brought by or in the right of the corporation unless the Delaware Court of Chancery approves the indemnification. II-1

Viacom's restated certificate of incorporation provides that each person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, because that person is or was a Viacom director or officer or is or was serving at Viacom's request as a director or officer of another entity, shall be indemnified and held harmless by Viacom to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. This right to indemnification also includes the right to be paid by Viacom the expenses incurred in connection with that proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law. This right to indemnification is a contract right. Viacom's restated certificate of incorporation authorizes its board of directors to indemnify any of Viacom's employees or agents to the extent approved by the board of directors and authorized under Delaware law. Viacom intends to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was one of its directors, officers, employees or agents, or is or was serving at the request of Viacom as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in that capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not Viacom would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him or her against that liability under the provisions of Viacom's restated certificate of incorporation. Item 16. Exhibits. See Exhibit Index. Item 17. Undertakings. (a) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports II-2

filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrants hereby understand that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3

If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company or the Guarantor or to all of them.

The Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until 14

(1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems reasonably sufficient. (e) If the Company or the Guarantor shall solicit from the Holders of Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may, at its option, in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after the record date. (f) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent, the Company or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. SECTION 105. Notices, etc., to Trustee, Company or Guarantor. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or the Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished, filed or mailed, first class postage prepaid, in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or (2) the Company or the Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first 15

SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice. If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of Registered Securities by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication. If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication. 16

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 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. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. SECTION 108. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. SECTION 109. Separability Clause.

SECTION 203. Securities Issuable in Global Form. If Securities of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Security Registrar in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or 304. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee or the Security Registrar shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement, delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee or the Security Registrar the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 201 and Section 307, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 309 and except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Guarantor (if Guarantees are issued), the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if Guarantees are issued), and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent global Security (i) in the case of a permanent global Security in registered form, the Holder of such permanent global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent global Security in bearer form, Euroclear or Clearstream. 19

All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to any Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially identical except, in the case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above (subject to Section 303) and set forth in the Officer's Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. Not all Securities of any one series need be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of additional Securities of such series. If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer's Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series. 23

With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Board Resolution (or action taken pursuant thereto), Officer's Certificate or supplemental indenture referred to above may provide general terms or parameter for Securities of such series and provide either that the specific terms of particular Securities of such series shall be specified in a Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the Company in accordance with other procedures specified in a Company Order as contemplated by the third paragraph of Section 303. SECTION 302. Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. With respect to Securities of any series denominated in Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of such series, other than Registered Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination) shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer Securities of such series, other than Bearer Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in a denomination of $5,000. SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, or its President or one of its Executive Vice Presidents or Vice Presidents or by its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers, and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities or coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Securities or coupons 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 or coupons. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company and (if Securities of such series were specified as contemplated by Section 301 to be Guaranteed by the Guarantor) having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that, in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing) acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series; provided further, however, that, in connection with its original issuance, no Euro Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and provided further that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Euro 24

Security (other than a Security in temporary global form) may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the Person entitled to physical delivery of such Euro Security (which, in case of a Euro Security to be received in exchange for all or a portion of a Security in temporary global form, shall be the account holder with Euroclear or Clearstream to whose account all or such portion of such Security in temporary global form has been credited) shall have furnished a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner's interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary global Security shall be deemed to be physical delivery in connection with its original issuance of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global Security. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled. If not all the Securities of any series are to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel stating, (a) that the form or forms of such Securities and any such Guarantees to be endorsed thereon and any coupons have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (b) that the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, subject, in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and (c) that such Securities, together with any Guarantees endorsed thereon and any coupons appertaining thereto, when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights, to general equitable principles and to such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of Holders of such Securities, such Guarantees and any coupons. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and the two preceding paragraphs, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to 25

deliver an Officer's Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order, Opinion of Counsel or Officer's Certificate otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraphs at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series. If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate and deliver such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be required to authenticate Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency if the Trustee reasonably believes that it would be unable to perform its duties with respect to such Securities. With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities or as to the authorization by the Guarantor of any Guarantee endorsed thereon, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to Section 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series. Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301. No Security, no Guarantee endorsed thereon or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security or Security to which such coupon appertains a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. The delivery of any Security by the Trustee after the authentication thereof hereunder shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 310 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities 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 and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor substantially of the tenor of the 26

definitive Guarantees, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities, Guarantees or coupons may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities, Guarantees or coupons, as the case may be. In the case of Securities of any series issuable as Bearer Securities, such temporary Securities shall be delivered only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303 and may be in global form. Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with Section 304(b) or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor of authorized denominations, having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further, however, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303. 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. (b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, this Section 304(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in global form. If temporary Securities of any series are issued in global form, any such temporary global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a depositary or common depositary (the "Common Depositary"), for the benefit of Euroclear and Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct). Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global Security and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor, executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, or to the Security Registrar, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the 27

Guarantor. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301; and provided further that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 303. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor, following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such Person takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global Security shall be delivered only outside the United States. Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream to the Trustee or the applicable Paying Agent of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301), for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the 28

certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 304(b) and of the third paragraph of Section 303 of this Indenture and the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of the temporary global Security with respect to which such certification was made will be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor on the Exchange Date or the date of certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, owing with respect to a beneficial interest in a temporary global Security will be made unless and until such interest in such temporary global Security shall have been exchanged for an interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and Clearstream and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee or the applicable Paying Agent immediately prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Company. SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as herein provided, and for facilitating exchanges of temporary global Securities for permanent global Securities or definitive Securities, or both, or of permanent global Securities for definitive Securities, or both, as herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that 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, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions, and having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor. At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. 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, having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any 29

series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities. If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution and (subject to Section 303) set forth in the applicable Officer's Certificate, or in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section 301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons (except as provided below) and with all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them, the Guarantor and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global Security is entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee or the Security 30

Registrar definitive Securities of that series in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global Security, executed by the Company and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, in accordance with instructions given by the Company to the Trustee or the Security Registrar and the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), such permanent global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be, or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, or to the Security Registrar to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities of the same series without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor as the portion of such permanent global Security to be exchanged which, unless the Securities of the series are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for the permanent global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which the Securities are issuable, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption; and provided further that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such permanent global Security shall be returned by the Trustee or the Security Registrar to the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be, or such other depositary referred to above in accordance with the Company's instructions. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will 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 will 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 permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Security Registrar or any transfer agent) 31

be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar or any transfer agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or 1405 not involving any transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be redeemed under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if such Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (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 Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and like tenor, provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which 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 and Coupons. If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security. If there shall be delivered to the Company, the Guarantor (if related Guarantees are issued) and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon, 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, the Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall, subject to the following paragraph, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, having, if applicable, endorsed 32

thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains. Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or coupon, as the case may be; provided, however, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto. 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. Every new Security of any series, with any Guarantees endorsed thereon duly executed by the Guarantor and with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series, any Guarantees endorsed thereon and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons. SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Optional Interest Reset. (a) Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest, if any, on any Registered Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however, that each installment of interest, if any, on any Registered Security may at the Company's option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 309, to the address of such Person as it appears on the 33

Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest, if any, may be made, in the case of a Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United States. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to each of any U.S. Depositary, and/or to each of Euroclear and Clearstream with respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for its account by the Common Depositary, for the purpose of permitting such U.S. Depositary and/or each of Euroclear and Clearstream to credit the interest, if any, received by it in respect of such permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof. In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder 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 Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which 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 each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) 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 deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the 34

Persons 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 each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. (b) The provisions of this Section 307(b) may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 301). The interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) on any Security of such series may be reset by the Company on the date or dates specified on the face of such Security (each an "Optional Reset Date"). The Company may exercise such option with respect to such Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset Date for such Security. Not later than 40 days prior to each Optional Reset Date, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of any such Security a notice (the "Reset Notice") indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable), and if so (i) such new interest rate (or such new spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) and (ii) the provisions, if any, for redemption during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next Optional Reset Date or if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity Date of such Security (each such period a "Subsequent Interest Period"), including the date or 35

dates on which or the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the Subsequent Interest Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and establish an interest rate (or a spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) that is higher than the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice, for the Subsequent Interest Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) is reset on an Optional Reset Date, and with respect to which the Holders of such Securities have not tendered such Securities for repayment (or have validly revoked any such tender) pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, will bear such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or spread multiplier, if applicable). The Holder of any such Security will have the option to elect repayment by the Company of the principal of such Security on each Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain repayment on an Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to such Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date. 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. SECTION 308. Optional Extension of Maturity. The provisions of this Section 308 may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 301). The Stated Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the option of the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set forth on the face of such Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the "Original Stated Maturity"). If the Company exercises such option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice") indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the Stated Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate, if any, applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the Trustee's transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of such Security shall 36

be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, such Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such Extension Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate, if any, provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate. If the Company extends the Stated Maturity of any Security, the Holder will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Stated Maturity thereof, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by written notice to the Trustee revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity. SECTION 309. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Registered Security), the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Registered Security), or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Registered Security), the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Registered Security), or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery. The Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer Security), the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer Security), or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer Security), the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer Security), or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. None of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to 37

or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global temporary or permanent Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Common Depositary or a U.S. Depositary, as the case may be, or impair, as between a Common Depositary or a U.S. Depositary and Holders of beneficial interests in such temporary or permanent global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary as Holder of such temporary or permanent global Security. SECTION 310. Cancellation. All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange 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 and coupons and Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company or the Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company or the Guarantor shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. 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 this Indenture. Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it. SECTION 311. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, interest, if any, on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. SECTION 312. Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of Securities. (a) Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, with respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, and with respect to Bearer Securities of any series, except as provided in paragraph (d) below, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Registered or Bearer Security of such series will be made in the Currency in which such Registered Security or Bearer Security, as the case may be, is payable. The provisions of this Section 312 may be modified or superseded with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301. 38

(b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, to receive payments of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on such Registered Securities in any of the Currencies which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities a written election with signature guarantees and in the applicable form established pursuant to Section 301, not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the applicable payment date. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in any such Currency, such election will remain in effect for such Holder or any transferee of such Holder until changed by such Holder or such transferee by written notice to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities (but any such change must be made not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the next payment date to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such change of election may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Registered Security of such series with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred or with respect to which the Company has deposited funds pursuant to Article Four or Fifteen or with respect to which a notice of redemption has been given by the Company or a notice of option to elect repayment has been sent by such Holder or such transferee). Any Holder of any such Registered Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Trustee of such series of Registered Securities not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant Currency as provided in Section 312(a). The Trustee for each such series of Registered Securities shall notify the Exchange Rate Agent as soon as practicable after the Election Date of the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities for which Holders have made such written election. (c) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 301, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, not later than the fourth Business Day after the Election Date for each payment date for Registered Securities of any series, the Exchange Rate Agent will deliver to the Company a written notice specifying the Currency in which Registered Securities of such series are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Registered Securities to be paid on such payment date, specifying the amounts in such Currency so payable in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Registered Securities denominated in any Currency shall have elected to be paid in another Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 301 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, on the second Business Day preceding such payment date the Company will deliver to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar or Foreign Currency or Currencies payments to be made on such payment date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the Dollar or Foreign Currency or Currencies amount receivable by Holders of Registered Securities who have elected payment in a Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day (the "Valuation Date") immediately preceding each payment date, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 39

(d) If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Currency in which any of the Securities are denominated or payable other than pursuant to an election provided for pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any on the applicable Securities denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency occurring after the last date on which such Foreign Currency was used (the "Conversion Date"), the Dollar shall be the currency of payment for use on each such payment date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee of each such series of Securities and by such Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Holders of such Securities with respect to such payment date shall be, in the case of a Foreign Currency other than a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, in each case as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent in the manner provided in paragraph (f) or (g) below. (e) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the Holder of a Registered Security denominated in any Currency shall have elected to be paid in another Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above, and a Conversion Event occurs with respect to such elected Currency, such Holder shall receive payment in the Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence of such election; and if a Conversion Event occurs with respect to the Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence of such election, such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 312. (f) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and shall be obtained for each subsequent payment date by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Conversion Date. (g) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit" shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and subject to the provisions of paragraph (h) below shall be the sum of each amount obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate for such Component Currency on the Valuation Date with respect to each payment. (h) For purposes of this Section 312, the following terms shall have the following meanings: A "Component Currency" shall mean any currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU. A "Specified Amount" of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units of such Component Currency or fractions thereof which were represented in the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU, on the Conversion Date. If after the Conversion Date the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If after the Conversion Date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the respective Specified 40

Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency. If after the Conversion Date any Component Currency shall be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be replaced by amounts of such two or more currencies, having an aggregate Dollar Equivalent value at the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such replacement equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Specified Amount of such former Component Currency at the Market Exchange Rate immediately before such division, and such amounts shall thereafter be Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Component Currencies. If, after the Conversion Date of the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU, a Conversion Event (other than any event referred to above in this definition of "Specified Amount") occurs with respect to any Component Currency of such currency unit and is continuing on the applicable Valuation Date, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall, for purposes of calculating the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, be converted into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate in effect on the Conversion Date of such Component Currency. An "Election Date" shall mean the Regular Record Date for the applicable series of Registered Securities or at least 16 days prior to Maturity, as the case may be, or such other prior date for any series of Registered Securities as specified pursuant to clause 13 of Section 301 by which the written election referred to in Section 312(b) may be made. All decisions and determinations of the Exchange Rate Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, the Market Exchange Rate and changes in the Specified Amounts as specified above shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company, the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities and all Holders of such Securities denominated or payable in the relevant Currency. The Exchange Rate Agent shall promptly give written notice to the Company and the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities of any such decision or determination. In the event that the Company determines in good faith that a Conversion Event has occurred with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Company will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 106 to the affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date. In the event the Company so determines that a Conversion Event has occurred with respect to the ECU or any other currency unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, the Company will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 106 to the affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date and the Specified Amount of each Component Currency on the Conversion Date. In the event the Company determines in good faith that any subsequent change in any Component Currency as set forth in the definition of Specified Amount above has occurred, the Company will similarly give written notice to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent. 41

The Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information received by it from the Company and the Exchange Rate Agent and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine the accuracy or validity of such information independent of the Company or the Exchange Rate Agent. SECTION 313. Appointment and Resignation of Successor Exchange Rate Agent. (a) Unless otherwise specified 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. The Company will cause the Exchange Rate Agent to make the necessary foreign exchange determinations at the time and in the manner specified pursuant to Section 301 for the purpose of determining the applicable rate of exchange and, if applicable, for the purpose of converting the issued Foreign Currency into the applicable payment Currency for the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, pursuant to Section 312. (b) No resignation of the Exchange Rate Agent and no appointment of a successor Exchange Rate Agent pursuant to this Section shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Exchange Rate Agent as evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Company and the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities accepting such appointment executed by the successor Exchange Rate Agent. (c) If the Exchange Rate Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Exchange Rate Agent for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Exchange Rate Agent or Exchange Rate Agents with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Exchange Rate Agent may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, at any time there shall only be one Exchange Rate Agent with respect to the Securities of any particular series that are originally issued by the Company on the same date and that are initially denominated and/or payable in the same Currency. SECTION 314. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP", "CINS" or "ISIN" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall indicate the respective "CUSIP", "CINS" or "ISIN" numbers of the Securities 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 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 shall advise the Trustee as promptly as practicable in writing of any change in the CUSIP, CINS or ISIN numbers. 42

ARTICLE FOUR SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Except as set forth below, this Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series expressly provided for herein or pursuant hereto, any surviving rights of tender for repayment at the option of the Holders and any right to receive Additional Amounts, as provided in Section 1007), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, and 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 all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto (other than (i) coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities surrendered for exchange for Registered Securities and maturing after such exchange, whose surrender is not required or has been waived as provided in Section 305, (ii) Securities and coupons of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, (iii) coupons appertaining to Securities called for redemption and maturing after the relevant Redemption Date, whose surrender has been waived as provided in Section 1106, and (iv) Securities and coupons of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust with the Trustee or any Paying Agent or segregated and held in trust by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and thereafter repaid to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (B) all Securities of such series and, in the case of (i) or (ii) below, any coupons appertaining thereto 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 irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose, solely for the benefit of the Holders, an amount in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable, sufficient to pay and discharge the entire 43

indebtedness on such Securities and such coupons not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; (2) the Company has irrevocably paid or caused to be irrevocably paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 612 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive any termination of this Indenture. SECTION 402. Application of Trust Funds. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, the coupons and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or the Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee. ARTICLE FIVE REMEDIES SECTION 501. Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless it is either inapplicable to a particular series or is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or a Board Resolution establishing such series of Securities or is in the form of Security for such series: (1) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that series, or any related coupon, when such interest or coupon becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or 44

(2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series when due and payable, at its Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise; or (3) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than that series) and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or (4) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or (5) the commencement by the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or the taking of corporate action by the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor in furtherance of any such action; or 45

(6) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 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 Section 501(4) or (5)) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) the unpaid principal (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of (and premium, if any) and accrued interest in respect of each Security then Outstanding in that series (the "Default Amount"). Upon any such declaration, the Default Amount shall become immediately due and payable on all Outstanding Securities of that series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 502, if an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or (5) occurs then, the Default Amount on the Securities then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to 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 hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, and the Trustee may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay, (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series and any related coupons, (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and (D) 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 that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 46

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 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 of any series and any related coupon when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity, then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee (such demand and payment in the case of Euro Securities to occur only outside of the United States), for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series and coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and coupons of that series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company, the Guarantor (if any related Guarantees are issued) or any other obligor upon Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, the Guarantor (if any related Guarantees are issued) or any other obligor upon Securities of such series, wherever situated. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related coupons by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. SECTION 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, the Guarantor (if any related Guarantees are issued) or any other obligor upon the Securities of a series or the property of the Company, the Guarantor (if any related Guarantees are issued) or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and 47

irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be provided in the terms thereof) (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, 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 the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same (which distribution, in the case of Euro Securities, shall occur only outside the United States); 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 of such series and coupons to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606. Subject to Article Eight and Section 902 and unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, 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 or coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or coupons 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 or coupon in any such proceeding. SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities or Coupons. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be (such presentation, in the case of Euro Securities or coupons, to occur only outside the United States), and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: 48

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 606; SECOND: To the payment (such payment, in the case of Euro Securities, to occur only outside the United States) of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons designated in writing by the Company. SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupon shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee an indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, against 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 that 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 to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such 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. SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or coupon shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Security or payment of such coupon on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, 49

in the case of repayment at the option of the Holders on the Repayment Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as the case may be. SECTION 512. Control by Holders of Securities. The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and (3) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction which, in the Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, is unduly prejudicial to other Holders of Securities of such series not consenting or would subject the Trustee to personal liability. 50

SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 502, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect to Securities of such series and its consequences, except a default (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series or any related coupons, or (2) in respect of a 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 514. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. ARTICLE SIX THE TRUSTEE SECTION 601. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Securities and coupons of such series; and provided further that in the case of any Default or breach of the character specified in Section 501(3) with respect to the Securities and coupons of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. SECTION 602. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d): 51

(1) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. (2) Any request or direction of the Company or the Guarantor mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order or Guarantor Request or Guarantor Order, as the case may be (other than delivery of any Security, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein), and any resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Guarantor may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution. (3) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a Board Resolution, an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer's Certificate. (4) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. (5) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. (6) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee in good faith shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times during normal business hours to examine the books, records and premises of the Company or, if any Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor, personally or by agent or attorney. (7) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. (8) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture. (9) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limiation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacties hereunder. 52

The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the Guarantor and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company, the Guarantor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606. (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company, the Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. Whenever there is a successor Trustee with respect to one or more (but less than all) series of securities issued pursuant to this Indenture, the terms "Indenture" and "Securities" shall have the meanings 56

specified in the provisos to the respective definition of those terms in Section 101 which contemplate such situation. (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. SECTION 611. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities or coupons 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 or coupons so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case any Securities or coupons shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 612. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents (which may be an Affiliate or Affiliates of the Company) with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue or upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as 57

Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to 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 for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall promptly give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form: This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. The Bank of New York, as Trustee 58

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

SECTION 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall, if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company having, if applicable, Guarantees endorsed thereon and executed by the Guarantor, and authenticated and delivered (which delivery, in the case of Euro Securities, shall occur only outside the United States) by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. ARTICLE TEN COVENANTS SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, if Any, and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities and any related coupons that it will duly and punctually pay, in the 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), the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and any interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on Bearer Securities on or before Maturity shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the respective coupons for such interest installments. SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for such series an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the 65

Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served, which agency initially shall be The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, Attention: . If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain (A) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served and where Bearer Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment in the circumstances described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise); (B) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series which is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1007); provided, however, that, if the Securities of that series are listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Limited, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in London, Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are listed on such exchange; and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and give prompt notice to the Holders as provided in Section 106 of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of any series of Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders of Securities of that series may be made and notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1007) at any Paying Agent for such series located outside the United States, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive all such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, no payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to any account maintained with a financial institution located in the United States; provided, however, that, if the Securities of a series are denominated and payable in Dollars, payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and any interest on any Bearer Security (including any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1007) shall be made at the office of the Company's Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or 66

agencies outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. 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 accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. SECTION 1003. Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company or the Guarantor shall at any time act as a Paying Agent with respect to the Securities of any series and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or any interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum (in the 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 (and premium, if any) or any interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will 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 and any related coupons, it will, prior to or on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or any interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the 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 (and premium, if any) or any interest so becoming due, such sum of money to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act. The Company will 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 will: (1) hold all sums of money for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest on Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums of money shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; 67

(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that 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 Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums of money held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. Except as provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company or the Guarantor, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest on any Security of any series, or any coupon appertaining thereto, and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company or the Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security or any coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, look only to the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money held in trust, and all liability of the Company or the Guarantor 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, 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, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. SECTION 1004. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Eight, the Company and, so long as any Securities in respect of which Guarantees have been issued are Outstanding, the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required to preserve any such right or franchise if its Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business. SECTION 1005. Maintenance of Principal Properties. The Company will cause all Principal Properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to 68

be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the maintenance of any of such properties or prevent or restrict the sale, abandonment or other disposition of any of such properties if such action is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole. SECTION 1006. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and (b) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith. SECTION 1007. Additional Amounts. If Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts to any Holder who is a non-United States Person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge ("Additional Amounts"), the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or any coupon appertaining thereto such Additional Amounts as may be so provided by Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of a series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of a Security of a series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301 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 provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, 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 that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal (and premium, if any) is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officer's Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officer's Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related coupons who are non-United States Persons without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officer's Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such 69

payments to such Holders of Securities of that series or related coupons and the Company will 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 Officer's Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section or in the event the Trustee shall not withhold or deduct any sums as a result of the non-receipt of an Officer's Certificate pursuant to this Section. SECTION 1008. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Company and, so long as any Securities in respect of which Guarantees have been issued are Outstanding, the Guarantor, each shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, ending after the date hereof so long as any Security is Outstanding hereunder, an Officer's Certificate, stating that in the course of the performance by the signatory of his or her duties as such officer of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, they would normally obtain knowledge of any Default by the Company in the performance or fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, and stating whether or not they have obtained knowledge of any such Default existing on the date of such statement and, if so, specifying each such Default of which the signatory has knowledge and the nature thereof. (b) The Company will, so long as any of the Securities of any series are Outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, as promptly as practicable upon any officer listed in (a) above becoming aware of any Default, Event of Default or default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, an Officer's Certificate specifying such Default, Event of Default, default or event of default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto and the status thereof. SECTION 1009. Waiver of Certain Covenants. With respect to the Securities of any series, the Company and the Guarantor may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition specified pursuant to Section 301 as being subject to this Section 1009, if, before the time for such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. SECTION 1010. Limitations on Liens. The Company shall not create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any of its property or assets, without securing the Securities of any applicable series equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured Indebtedness; provided, however, that the foregoing shall apply only to Liens which in the aggregate exceed 15% of the Company's total consolidated assets as of the end of the Company's most recent accounting period preceding the creation or assumption of any such Lien (reduced by any Attributable Debt with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction permitted under Section 1011 below). This restriction will not apply to Capitalized Leases or to Indebtedness 70

secured by (a) Liens existing on the date hereof and Liens on property of, or Indebtedness of, any Person at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary (whether by acquisition or otherwise, including through merger or consolidation), (b) Liens in favor of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, (c) Liens existing at the time of acquisition of the assets secured thereby (including acquisition through merger or consolidation) and purchase money Liens, and (d) any extension, renewal or refunding of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), inclusive. SECTION 1011. Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property unless (a) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a term of not more than three years; (b) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is between the Company and a Subsidiary of the Company or between Subsidiaries of the Company; (c) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur indebtedness secured by a Lien on such Principal Property involved in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to the first sentence of the "Limitations on Liens" covenant in Section 1010 above without equally and ratably securing the Securities of any applicable series pursuant to such covenant; (d) the proceeds of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) and the Company applies an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of such sale or the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction within 180 days of such sale to either (or a combination) of (i) the retirement (other than the mandatory retirement, mandatory prepayment or sinking fund payment or by payment at maturity) of debt for borrowed money of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company that matures more than 12 months after its creation (other than debt that is subordinated to the Securities or debt to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) or (ii) the purchase, construction or development of other comparable property; or (e) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into within 180 days after the initial acquisition by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, of the Principal Property subject to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction. ARTICLE ELEVEN REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company 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 and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed, 71

and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 1103. In the case of any redemption of Securities of any series (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of a specified tenor 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 issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that such method complies with the rules of any national securities exchange or quotation system on which the Securities are then listed, and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Security not redeemed to less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series. 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 Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security 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 such Security or portion thereof. Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the Redemption Date, 72

(2) the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, (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 will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, (5) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106 will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the 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 of Payment (which in the case of Euro Securities shall be outside the United States) where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, (7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, (8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all coupons maturing subsequent to the Redemption Date or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, the Trustee for such series and any Paying Agent is furnished, (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be made, and (10) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any. 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 Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. 73

SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003)) an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the 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 in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest, and provided further that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, 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, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons. 74

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Redemption Price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to Maturity of such Security. SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's 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 and of like tenor, 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, with, if applicable, Guarantees endorsed thereon duly executed by the Guarantor. If a temporary global Security or permanent global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new temporary global Security or permanent global Security, respectively. However, if less than all the Securities of any series with differing issue dates, interest rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its sole discretion shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed and shall notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 45 days prior to the relevant redemption date. 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 specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series. 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 such Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. Subject to Section 1203, the Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series to the Trustee (other than any previously called for redemption or presented for repayment at the option of the Holder) together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such 75

series which have been previously purchased or otherwise acquired or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of the same series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer's 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 in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting 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 delivered and credited. If such Officer's 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 more 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 Sections 1105, 1106 and 1107. ARTICLE THIRTEEN GUARANTEES SECTION 1301. Guarantees. If Securities of or within a series are specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be guaranteed by the Guarantor, then the Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of any such Security which is authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to each Holder of any coupon appertaining to any such Security, if any, and to the Trustee on behalf of each such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest (including, in case of default, interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue interest and including any additional interest required to be paid according to the terms of any such Security or any coupon appertaining thereto), if any, on each such Security, and the due and punctual payment of any 76

sinking fund payment (or analogous obligation), if any, provided for with respect to any such Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon acceleration, upon tender for repayment at the option of any Holder or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of this Indenture, including, without limitation, the payment of any Additional Amounts, if any, provided for with respect to any such Security as described under Section 1007 hereof (the "Guarantor Obligations"). In case of the failure of the Company or any successor thereto punctually to pay any such principal, premium, interest or sinking fund payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon declaration of acceleration, upon tender for repayment at the option of any Holder or otherwise, as if such payment were made by the Company. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantor Obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the identity of the Company, the validity, regularity or enforceability of any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Holder of any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto with respect to any provisions thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantees will not be discharged except by complete performance of its obligations contained in any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto and in this Guarantee. If the Trustee or the Holder of any Security or any coupon appertaining thereto is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or the Guarantor, or any custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid to the Trustee or such Holder in respect of a Security or any coupons appertaining thereto, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Guarantor further agrees, to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so, that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, the maturity of the obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition extant under any applicable bankruptcy law preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities of a series (and of any coupons appertaining thereto) against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Securities or any coupons appertaining thereto or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on all Securities of such series shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. 77

SECTION 1302. Execution and Delivery of Guarantees. To evidence its Guarantees with respect to Securities of or within any series that are specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be guaranteed by the Guarantor, the Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantees, in a form established pursuant to Section 201, to be endorsed on each Security of such series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Financial Officer, or its President, or one of its Executive Vice Presidents or Vice Presidents, or by its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Guarantees may be manual or facsimile. Guarantees bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of the individuals who were the proper officers of the Guarantor shall bind the Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of the Securities upon which such Guarantees are endorsed or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. The delivery of any Securities by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantees endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantees set forth in this Article Thirteen shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee. SECTION 1303. Limitation of Guarantor's Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of a Security each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that in no event shall any Guarantor Obligations under the Guarantees constitute or result in a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of, or result in a violation of, any United States federal, or applicable United States state, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, in the event that the Guarantor Obligations, if any, in respect of the Securities of any series would, but for this sentence, constitute or result in such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation, then the liability of the Guarantor under its Guarantees in respect of the Securities of such series shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation under the applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law. ARTICLE FOURTEEN REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS SECTION 1401. Applicability of Article. Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article. SECTION 1402. Repayment of Securities. Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided 78

in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at the Repayment Price thereof, together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or the Guarantor is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to pay the Repayment Price of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date. SECTION 1403. Exercise of Option. Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Securities. To be repaid at the option of the Holder, any Security so providing for such repayment, with the "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Security duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing), must be received by the Company at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 45 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date. If less than the entire Repayment Price of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the portion of the Repayment Price of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified. Any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. SECTION 1404. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable. If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor shall default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment Date, the Repayment Price of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; provided, however, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of 79

such coupons; and provided further that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, in the case of Registered Securities, installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the amount payable therefor as provided in Section 1402 an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made as provided in the preceding sentence, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons. If any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, the Repayment Price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to Maturity of such Security. SECTION 1405. Securities Repaid in Part. Upon surrender of any Registered Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid, with, if applicable, Guarantees endorsed thereon duly executed by the Guarantor. If a temporary global Security or permanent global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new temporary global Security or a new permanent global Security, respectively. ARTICLE FIFTEEN DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE SECTION 1501. Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1502 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1503, then the provisions of such Section 1502 or Section 1503, as the case may be, together with Sections 1504, 1505 and 1506, shall be applicable to the Securities of such 80

series, and the Company may, at its option by Officer's Certificate, at any time, with respect to the Securities of such series, elect to have either Section 1502 (if applicable) or Section 1503 (if applicable) be applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Fourteen. SECTION 1502. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series and subject to Sections 1505 and 1506, the Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any related coupons on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below are satisfied but subject to satisfaction of the conditions subsequent set forth below (hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and any related coupons, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 1505 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Securities and any related coupons and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any related coupons 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: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities of such securities and any related coupons to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1504 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Securities and any related coupons when such payments are due, (B) the Company's obligations and, to the extent applicable, the Guarantor's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 1007, and such obligations as shall be ancillary thereto, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, immunities and other provisions in respect of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article Fifteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Fifteen, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 1502 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1503 with respect to such Securities and any related coupons. Following a defeasance, payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. SECTION 1503. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company and the Guarantor shall each be released from its obligations under any Section(s) of this Indenture applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to this provision with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any related coupons on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below are satisfied but subject to satisfaction of the conditions subsequent set forth below (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and such Securities and any related coupons shall thereafter be deemed not to be "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such Sections, 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 of such series and any related coupons, the Company and the Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or indirectly, by 81

reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of reference in any such Section 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 hereunder, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and any related coupons shall be unaffected thereby. Following a covenant defeasance, payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default solely by reference to such Sections specified above in this Section 1503. SECTION 1504. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions precedent or, as specifically noted below, subsequent, to application of either Section 1502 or Section 1503 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any related coupons: (1) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Fifteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for the benefit of, and dedicated solely to, the Holders of such Securities and any related coupons, (A) Dollars in an amount, or (B) Government Obligations 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, Dollars in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee), to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) each installment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Outstanding Securities and any related coupons on the Stated Maturity (or Redemption Date, if applicable) of such principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Securities of such series and the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any related coupons on the due dates thereof. Before such a deposit, the Company may give to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 1102 hereof, a notice of its election to redeem all or any portion of such Outstanding Securities at a future date in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series and Article Eleven hereof, which notice shall be irrevocable. Such irrevocable redemption notice, if given, shall be given effect in applying the foregoing. (2) No Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any related coupons shall have occurred and be continuing (A) on the date of such deposit or (B) insofar as paragraphs (4) and (5) of Section 501 are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following the expiration of the longest preference period applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit (it being understood that the condition in this clause (B) is a condition subsequent and shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). 82

(3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not (A) cause the Trustee for the Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as defined in TIA Section 310(b) or otherwise for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of the Company or (B) result in the trust arising from such deposit to constitute, unless it is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. (4) 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. (5) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause any Securities of such series then listed on any registered national securities exchange under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be delisted. (6) In the case of an election under Section 1502, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of 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 of such series and any related coupons 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. (7) In the case of an election under Section 1503, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series and any related coupons 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. (8) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301. (9) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent and subsequent provided for in this Indenture relating to either the defeasance under Section 1502 or the covenant defeasance under Section 1503 (as the case may be) have been complied with. SECTION 1505. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. 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 1505, the "Trustee") pursuant to 83

Section 1504 in respect of the Outstanding Securities of any series and any related coupons shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any related coupons and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or the Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any related coupons of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the money or Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1504 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof. Anything in this Article Fifteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 1504 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article. SECTION 1506. Reinstatement. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if and to the extent the deposited money or Government Obligations (or the proceeds thereof) either (i) cannot be applied by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in accordance with Section 1505 because of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application or (ii) are for any reason insufficient in amount, then (x) the Company's and the Guarantor's obligations, if any, to pay principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities of such series and any related coupons shall be reinstated to the extent necessary to cover the deficiency on any due date for payment and (y) in the case of a covenant defeasance under Section 1503, the Company's and the Guarantor's obligations, if any, under any Sections applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to this provision shall be reinstated unless and until all deficiencies on any due date for payment are covered. In any case specified in clause (i), the Company's interest in the deposited money and Government Obligations (and proceeds thereof) shall be reinstated to the extent the Company's payment obligations are reinstated.

In the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting.

SECTION 1605. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.

104 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities. 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. (b) 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 1602(b), 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. (c) At any meeting of the Holders, each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by such Holder; 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. (d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1602 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 1606. 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 secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any Series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the fact, setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1602 and, if applicable, Section 1604. 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 Indenture 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 Indenture. 87

RECITALS OF THE COMPANY AND THE GUARANTOR The Company deems it necessary to issue from time to time senior subordinated debt securities (the "Securities") evidencing its unsecured and subordinated indebtedness, which may or may not be convertible into or exchangeable for any securities of any Person (including the Company) and which may or may not be guaranteed by the Guarantor, and has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of the Securities, to be issued in one or more series, unlimited as to principal amount, to bear such rates of interest, to mature at such times and to have such other provisions as provided in this Indenture. The Guarantor desires with respect to Securities of certain series issued under this Indenture to make the Guarantees provided for herein. This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"), that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. All things necessary to make this Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done. NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE WITNESSETH: For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Securities by the Holders thereof, it is mutually covenanted and agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities and coupons, or of a series thereof, as follows: ARTICLE ONE DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF GENERAL APPLICATION SECTION 101. Definitions. For all purposes of this Indenture, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires: (1) the terms defined in this Article have the meanings assigned to them in this Article, and include the plural as well as the singular and, pursuant to Section 301, any such item may, with respect to any particular series of Securities, be amended, or modified or specified as being inapplicable;

(2) all other terms used herein which are defined in the TIA, either directly or by reference therein, have the meanings assigned to them therein, and the terms "cash transaction" and "self-liquidating paper", as used in TIA Section 311, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the rules of the Commission adopted under the TIA; (3) except as otherwise herein expressly provided, all accounting terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and, except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the term "generally accepted accounting principles" with respect to any computation required or permitted hereunder shall mean such accounting principles as are generally accepted in the United States of America from time to time; and (4) the words "herein", "hereof" and "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Indenture as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision.

In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall be the lesser of the net amount determined assuming termination upon the first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the net amount shall also include the amount of the penalty, 2

but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or the net amount determined assuming no such termination.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or the Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished, filed or mailed, first class postage prepaid, in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or (2) the Company or the Guarantor by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture, to the attention of its Secretary, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be. SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Registered Securities by the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice. If by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of Registered Securities by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. 16

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication. If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication. 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 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. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. SECTION 108. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. SECTION 109. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in any Security, any Guarantee or coupon shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. SECTION 110. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, the Guarantees or coupons, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 17

SECTION 111. Governing Law. This Indenture, the Securities, the coupons and, if issued, the Guarantees, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions. SECTION 112. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security or coupon other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section), payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity; provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be. SECTION 113. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company and, if any Guarantees are issued and, the Guarantor, each hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in The City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Indenture, the Securities of any series or, with respect to the Guarantor, the Guarantees, and the Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. The Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. ARTICLE TWO SECURITIES FORMS SECTION 201. Forms of Securities. The Registered Securities, if any, of each series, the Bearer Securities, if any, of each series and related coupons, the temporary global Securities of each series, if any, and the permanent global Securities of each series, if any, and the Guarantees, if any, to be endorsed thereon shall be in substantially the forms as shall be established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution of the Company or, in the case of the Guarantees, the Guarantor, in accordance with Section 301, shall have such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or 18

with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities shall have interest coupons attached. The definitive Securities and coupons, if any, including the Guarantees, if any, shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on a steel engraved border or steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, Guarantees or coupons, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities, Guarantees or coupons. SECTION 202. Form of Trustee's Certificate of Authentication. Subject to Section 612, the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form: This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. The Bank of New York, as Trustee By: ---------------------------------- Authorized Officer SECTION 203. Securities Issuable in Global Form. If Securities of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series represented thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Security Registrar in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or 304. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee or the Security Registrar shall deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement, delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the 19

Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee or the Security Registrar the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 201 and Section 307, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 309 and except as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Guarantor (if Guarantees are issued), the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if Guarantees are issued), and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent global Security (i) in the case of a permanent global Security in registered form, the Holder of such permanent global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent global Security in bearer form, Euroclear or Clearstream. ARTICLE THREE THE SECURITIES SECTION 301. Amount Unlimited; Issuable in Series. The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Securities shall be subordinated in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness as provided in Article Seventeen. The Securities shall rank equally and pari passu and may be issued in one or more series. There shall be established in one or more Board Resolutions or pursuant to authority granted by one or more Board Resolutions and, subject to Section 303, set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in an Officer's Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of Securities of any series, any or all of the following, as applicable (each of which (except for the matters set forth in clauses (1), (2) and (15) below), if so provided, may be determined from time to time by the Company with respect to unissued Securities of the series when issued from time to time): (1) the title of the Securities of the series including CUSIP numbers (which shall distinguish the Securities of such series from all other series of Securities); (2) any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the series that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture (except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of the series pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 906, 1107 or 1405) and except for any Securities which, pursuant to Section 303, are deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder); 20

(3) the date or dates, or the method by which such date or dates will be determined or extended, on which the principal of the Securities of the series shall be payable; (4) the rate or rates at which the Securities of the series shall bear interest, if any, or the method by which such rate or rates shall be determined, the date or dates from which any such interest shall accrue or the method by which any such date or dates shall be determined, the Interest Payment Dates on which any such interest will be payable and the Regular Record Date, if any, for any interest payable on any Registered Security on any Interest Payment Date, or the method by which such date or dates shall be determined, and the basis upon which such interest shall be calculated if other than that of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months; (5) the place or places, if any, other than or in addition to the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Securities of the series shall be payable (which in the case of Euro Securities shall be outside the United States), any Registered Securities of the series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, Securities of the series may be surrendered for exchange, where Securities of that series that are convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, as applicable, and, if different than the location specified in Section 105, the place or places where notices or demands to or upon the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor in respect of the Securities of the series and this Indenture may be served; (6) the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which, the Currency or Currencies in which, and other terms and conditions upon which Securities, of the series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, if the Company is to have that option; (7) the obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem, repay or purchase Securities of the series pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provision or at the option of a Holder thereof, and the period or periods within which or the date or dates on which, the price or prices at which, the Currency or Currencies in which, and other terms and conditions upon which, Securities of the series shall be redeemed, repaid or purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation; (8) if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, the denomination or denominations in which any Registered Securities of the series shall be issuable and, if other than denominations of $5,000, the denomination or denominations in which any Bearer Securities of the series shall be issuable; (9) if other than the Trustee, the identity of each Security Registrar and/or Paying Agent; (10) if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of Securities of the series that shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502, upon redemption of the Securities of the 21

All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to any Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially identical except, in the case of Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to above (subject to Section 303) and set forth in the Officer's Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. Not all Securities of any one series need be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of additional Securities of such series. If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer's Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series. With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Board Resolution (or action taken pursuant thereto), Officer's Certificate or supplemental indenture referred to above may provide general terms or parameter for Securities of such series and provide either that the specific terms of particular Securities of such series shall be specified in a Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the Company in accordance with other procedures specified in a Company Order as contemplated by the third paragraph of Section 303. SECTION 302. Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. With respect to Securities of any series denominated in Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of such series, other than Registered Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination) shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer Securities of such series, other than Bearer Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in a denomination of $5,000. SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, or its President or one of its Executive Vice Presidents or Vice Presidents or by its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers, and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities or coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. 24

Securities or coupons 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 or coupons. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company and (if Securities of such series were specified as contemplated by Section 301 to be Guaranteed by the Guarantor) having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that, in the case of Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing) acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series; provided further, however, that, in connection with its original issuance, no Euro Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and provided further that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Euro Security (other than a Security in temporary global form) may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the Person entitled to physical delivery of such Euro Security (which, in case of a Euro Security to be received in exchange for all or a portion of a Security in temporary global form, shall be the account holder with Euroclear or Clearstream to whose account all or such portion of such Security in temporary global form has been credited) shall have furnished a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner's interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary global Security shall be deemed to be physical delivery in connection with its original issuance of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global Security. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled. If not all the Securities of any series are to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Opinion of Counsel stating, 25

(a) that the form or forms of such Securities and any such Guarantees to be endorsed thereon and any coupons have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (b) that the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been, or in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, will be, established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture, subject, in the case of Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and (c) that such Securities, together with any Guarantees endorsed thereon and any coupons appertaining thereto, when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights, to general equitable principles and to such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of Holders of such Securities, such Guarantees and any coupons. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and the two preceding paragraphs, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Officer's Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order, Opinion of Counsel or Officer's Certificate otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraphs at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series. If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate and deliver such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be required to authenticate Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency if the Trustee reasonably believes that it would be unable to perform its duties with respect to such Securities. With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities or as to the authorization by the Guarantor of any Guarantee endorsed thereon, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to Section 201 and 301 and this Section, as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series. Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301. 26

No Security, no Guarantee endorsed thereon or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security or Security to which such coupon appertains a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. The delivery of any Security by the Trustee after the authentication thereof hereunder shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 310 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. SECTION 304. Temporary Securities. (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities 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 and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor substantially of the tenor of the definitive Guarantees, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities, Guarantees or coupons may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities, Guarantees or coupons, as the case may be. In the case of Securities of any series issuable as Bearer Securities, such temporary Securities shall be delivered only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303 and may be in global form. Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with Section 304(b) or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor of authorized denominations, having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further, however, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all 27

respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. (b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, this Section 304(b) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in global form. If temporary Securities of any series are issued in global form, any such temporary global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a depositary or common depositary (the "Common Depositary"), for the benefit of Euroclear and Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct). Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global Security and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor, executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, or to the Security Registrar, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301; and provided further that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 303. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor, following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear and Clearstream, the Trustee, 28

any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such Person takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global Security shall be delivered only outside the United States. Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and Clearstream on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream to the Trustee or the applicable Paying Agent of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301), for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 304(b) and of the third paragraph of Section 303 of this Indenture and the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of the temporary global Security with respect to which such certification was made will be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor on the Exchange Date or the date of certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, owing with respect to a beneficial interest in a temporary global Security will be made unless and until such interest in such temporary global Security shall have been exchanged for an interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and Clearstream and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee or the applicable Paying Agent immediately prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Company. SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed 29

"Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as herein provided, and for facilitating exchanges of temporary global Securities for permanent global Securities or definitive Securities, or both, or of permanent global Securities for definitive Securities, or both, as herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that 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, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions, and having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor. At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. 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, having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities. If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution and (subject to Section 303) set forth in the applicable Officer's Certificate, or in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section 301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons (except as provided below) and with all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them, the Guarantor and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date 30

and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global Security is entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee or the Security Registrar definitive Securities of that series in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner's interest in such permanent global Security, executed by the Company and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, in accordance with instructions given by the Company to the Trustee or the Security Registrar and the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), such permanent global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be, or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, or to the Security Registrar to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities of the same series without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor and, if applicable, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor as the portion of such permanent global Security to be exchanged which, unless the Securities of the series are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for the permanent global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which the Securities are issuable, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption; and provided further that no 31

Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such permanent global Security shall be returned by the Trustee or the Security Registrar to the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary, as the case may be, or such other depositary referred to above in accordance with the Company's instructions. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will 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 will 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 permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Security Registrar or any transfer agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar or any transfer agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or 1405 not involving any transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be redeemed under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if such Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (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 Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and like tenor, provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which has been surrendered for 32

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 and Coupons. If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security. If there shall be delivered to the Company, the Guarantor (if related Guarantees are issued) and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon, 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, the Guarantor or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall, subject to the following paragraph, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, having, if applicable, endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains. Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or coupon, as the case may be; provided, however, that payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto. 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. Every new Security of any series, with any Guarantees endorsed thereon duly executed by the Guarantor and with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of 33

any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series, any Guarantees endorsed thereon and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons. SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Optional Interest Reset. (a) Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest, if any, on any Registered Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however, that each installment of interest, if any, on any Registered Security may at the Company's option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 309, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee located in the United States. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest, if any, may be made, in the case of a Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United States. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to each of any U.S. Depositary, and/or to each of Euroclear and Clearstream with respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for its account by the Common Depositary, for the purpose of permitting such U.S. Depositary and/or each of Euroclear and Clearstream to credit the interest, if any, received by it in respect of such permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof. In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 34

Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder 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 Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which 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 each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) 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 deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons 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 each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 35

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. (b) The provisions of this Section 307(b) may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 301). The interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) on any Security of such series may be reset by the Company on the date or dates specified on the face of such Security (each an "Optional Reset Date"). The Company may exercise such option with respect to such Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset Date for such Security. Not later than 40 days prior to each Optional Reset Date, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of any such Security a notice (the "Reset Notice") indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable), and if so (i) such new interest rate (or such new spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) and (ii) the provisions, if any, for redemption during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next Optional Reset Date or if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity Date of such Security (each such period a "Subsequent Interest Period"), including the date or dates on which or the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such redemption may occur during the Subsequent Interest Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the Optional Reset Date, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and establish an interest rate (or a spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) that is higher than the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice, for the Subsequent Interest Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) is reset on an Optional Reset Date, and with respect to which the Holders of such Securities have not tendered such Securities for repayment (or have validly revoked any such tender) pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph, will bear such higher interest rate (or such higher spread or spread multiplier, if applicable). The Holder of any such Security will have the option to elect repayment by the Company of the principal of such Security on each Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain repayment on an Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to such Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to the Reset 36

Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date. 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. SECTION 308. Optional Extension of Maturity. The provisions of this Section 308 may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to such Section 301). The Stated Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the option of the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each an "Extension Period") up to but not beyond the date (the "Final Maturity") set forth on the face of such Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying the Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the "Original Stated Maturity"). If the Company exercises such option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a notice (the "Extension Notice") indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the Stated Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate, if any, applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the Trustee's transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, such Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such Extension Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original Stated Maturity of such Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate, if any, provided for in the Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate for the Extension Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate. If the Company extends the Stated Maturity of any Security, the Holder will have the option to elect repayment of such Security by the Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain repayment on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Stated Maturity thereof, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by written notice to the Trustee revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity. 37

SECTION 309. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Registered Security), the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Registered Security), or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Registered Security), the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Registered Security), or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery. The Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer Security), the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer Security), or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer Security), the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor (if a Guarantee is endorsed on such Bearer Security), or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. None of the Company, the Guarantor, 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 Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global temporary or permanent Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Common Depositary or a U.S. Depositary, as the case may be, or impair, as between a Common Depositary or a U.S. Depositary and Holders of beneficial interests in such temporary or permanent global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Common Depositary or the U.S. Depositary as Holder of such temporary or permanent global Security. SECTION 310. Cancellation. All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange 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 and coupons and Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company or the Guarantor may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and 38

all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company or the Guarantor shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. 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 this Indenture. Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it. SECTION 311. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, interest, if any, on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. SECTION 312. Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of Securities. (a) Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, with respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, and with respect to Bearer Securities of any series, except as provided in paragraph (d) below, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Registered or Bearer Security of such series will be made in the Currency in which such Registered Security or Bearer Security, as the case may be, is payable. The provisions of this Section 312 may be modified or superseded with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301. (b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Registered Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, to receive payments of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on such Registered Securities in any of the Currencies which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities a written election with signature guarantees and in the applicable form established pursuant to Section 301, not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the applicable payment date. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in any such Currency, such election will remain in effect for such Holder or any transferee of such Holder until changed by such Holder or such transferee by written notice to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities (but any such change must be made not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the next payment date to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such change of election may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Registered Security of such series with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred or with respect to which the Company has deposited funds pursuant to Article Four or Fifteen or with respect to which a notice of redemption has been given by the Company or a notice of option to elect repayment has been sent by such Holder or such transferee). Any Holder of any such Registered Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Trustee of such series of Registered Securities not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant Currency as provided in Section 312(a). The Trustee for each such series of Registered Securities shall notify the Exchange Rate Agent as 39

soon as practicable after the Election Date of the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities for which Holders have made such written election. (c) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 301, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, not later than the fourth Business Day after the Election Date for each payment date for Registered Securities of any series, the Exchange Rate Agent will deliver to the Company a written notice specifying the Currency in which Registered Securities of such series are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Registered Securities to be paid on such payment date, specifying the amounts in such Currency so payable in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Registered Securities denominated in any Currency shall have elected to be paid in another Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 301 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, on the second Business Day preceding such payment date the Company will deliver to the Trustee for such series of Registered Securities an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar or Foreign Currency or Currencies payments to be made on such payment date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the Dollar or Foreign Currency or Currencies amount receivable by Holders of Registered Securities who have elected payment in a Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the second Business Day (the "Valuation Date") immediately preceding each payment date, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (d) If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Currency in which any of the Securities are denominated or payable other than pursuant to an election provided for pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any on the applicable Securities denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency occurring after the last date on which such Foreign Currency was used (the "Conversion Date"), the Dollar shall be the currency of payment for use on each such payment date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee of each such series of Securities and by such Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Holders of such Securities with respect to such payment date shall be, in the case of a Foreign Currency other than a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, in each case as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent in the manner provided in paragraph (f) or (g) below. (e) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the Holder of a Registered Security denominated in any Currency shall have elected to be paid in another Currency as provided in paragraph (b) above, and a Conversion Event occurs with respect to such elected Currency, such Holder shall receive payment in the Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence of such election; and if a Conversion Event occurs with respect to the Currency in which payment would have been made in the absence of such election, such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 312. 40

(f) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and shall be obtained for each subsequent payment date by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Conversion Date. (g) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit" shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent and subject to the provisions of paragraph (h) below shall be the sum of each amount obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate for such Component Currency on the Valuation Date with respect to each payment. (h) For purposes of this Section 312, the following terms shall have the following meanings: A "Component Currency" shall mean any currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU. A "Specified Amount" of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units of such Component Currency or fractions thereof which were represented in the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU, on the Conversion Date. If after the Conversion Date the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If after the Conversion Date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency. If after the Conversion Date any Component Currency shall be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be replaced by amounts of such two or more currencies, having an aggregate Dollar Equivalent value at the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such replacement equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Specified Amount of such former Component Currency at the Market Exchange Rate immediately before such division, and such amounts shall thereafter be Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Component Currencies. If, after the Conversion Date of the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU, a Conversion Event (other than any event referred to above in this definition of "Specified Amount") occurs with respect to any Component Currency of such currency unit and is continuing on the applicable Valuation Date, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall, for purposes of calculating the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, be converted into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate in effect on the Conversion Date of such Component Currency. An "Election Date" shall mean the Regular Record Date for the applicable series of Registered Securities or at least 16 days prior to Maturity, as the case may be, or such 41

other prior date for any series of Registered Securities as specified pursuant to clause 13 of Section 301 by which the written election referred to in Section 312(b) may be made. All decisions and determinations of the Exchange Rate Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, the Market Exchange Rate and changes in the Specified Amounts as specified above shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company, the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities and all Holders of such Securities denominated or payable in the relevant Currency. The Exchange Rate Agent shall promptly give written notice to the Company and the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities of any such decision or determination. In the event that the Company determines in good faith that a Conversion Event has occurred with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Company will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 106 to the affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date. In the event the Company so determines that a Conversion Event has occurred with respect to the ECU or any other currency unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, the Company will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 106 to the affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date and the Specified Amount of each Component Currency on the Conversion Date. In the event the Company determines in good faith that any subsequent change in any Component Currency as set forth in the definition of Specified Amount above has occurred, the Company will similarly give written notice to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and to the Exchange Rate Agent. The Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information received by it from the Company and the Exchange Rate Agent and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine the accuracy or validity of such information independent of the Company or the Exchange Rate Agent. SECTION 313. Appointment and Resignation of Successor Exchange Rate Agent. (a) Unless otherwise specified 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. The Company will cause the Exchange Rate Agent to make the necessary foreign exchange determinations at the time and in the manner specified pursuant to Section 301 for the purpose of determining the applicable rate of exchange and, if applicable, for the purpose of converting the issued Foreign Currency into the applicable payment Currency for the payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, pursuant to Section 312. (b) No resignation of the Exchange Rate Agent and no appointment of a successor Exchange Rate Agent pursuant to this Section shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Exchange Rate Agent as evidenced by a written 42

instrument delivered to the Company and the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities accepting such appointment executed by the successor Exchange Rate Agent. (c) If the Exchange Rate Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Exchange Rate Agent for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Exchange Rate Agent or Exchange Rate Agents with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Exchange Rate Agent may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series) and that, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, at any time there shall only be one Exchange Rate Agent with respect to the Securities of any particular series that are originally issued by the Company on the same date and that are initially denominated and/or payable in the same Currency. SECTION 314. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP", "CINS" or "ISIN" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall indicate the respective "CUSIP", "CINS" or "ISIN" numbers of the Securities 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 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 shall advise the Trustee as promptly as practicable in writing of any change in CUSIP, CINS or ISIN numbers. ARTICLE FOUR SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Except as set forth below, this Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such Company Request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series expressly provided for herein or pursuant hereto, any surviving rights of tender for repayment at the option of the Holders and any right to receive Additional Amounts, as provided in Section 1007), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, and 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 all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto (other than (i) coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities surrendered for exchange for Registered Securities and maturing after such exchange, whose surrender is not required or has been waived as provided in Section 305, (ii) Securities and coupons of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, (iii) coupons appertaining to Securities called for redemption and maturing after the relevant Redemption Date, whose surrender has been waived as 43

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 612 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive any termination of this Indenture. SECTION 402. Application of Trust Funds. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, the 44

coupons and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company or the Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee. ARTICLE FIVE REMEDIES SECTION 501. Events of Default. "Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be occasioned by the provisions of Article 16 or be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), unless it is either inapplicable to a particular series or is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or a Board Resolution establishing such series of Securities or is in the form of Security for such series: (1) default in the payment of any interest on any Security of that series, or any related coupon, when such interest or coupon becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of that series when due and payable, at its Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise; or (3) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than that series) and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or (4) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or, if Guarantees 45

are issued, the Guarantor or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or (5) the commencement by the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or the taking of corporate action by the Company or, if Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor in furtherance of any such action; or (6) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 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 Section 501(4) or (5)) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare immediately due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) the unpaid principal (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of (and premium, if any) and accrued interest in respect of each Security then Outstanding in that series (the "Default Amount"). Upon any such declaration, the Default Amount shall become immediately due and payable on all Outstanding Securities of that series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 502, if an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or (5) occurs then, the Default Amount on the Securities then Outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to 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 hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, and the Trustee may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: 46

(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay, (A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series and any related coupons, (B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and (D) 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 that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. 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 of any series and any related coupon when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity, then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee (such demand and payment in the case of Euro Securities to occur only outside of the United States), for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series and coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and coupons of that series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for 47

the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company, the Guarantor (if any related Guarantees are issued) or any other obligor upon Securities of such series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, the Guarantor (if any related Guarantees are issued) or any other obligor upon Securities of such series, wherever situated. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related coupons by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. SECTION 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, the Guarantor (if any related Guarantees are issued) or any other obligor upon the Securities of a series or the property of the Company, the Guarantor (if any related Guarantees are issued) or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company or, if applicable, the Guarantor for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be provided in the terms thereof) (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, 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 the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same (which distribution, in the case of Euro Securities, shall occur only outside the United States); 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 of such series and coupons to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606. Subject to Article Eight and Section 902 and unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, 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 or coupon any 48

plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or coupons 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 or coupon in any such proceeding. SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities or Coupons. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities or coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or coupons or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be (such presentation, in the case of Euro Securities or coupons, to occur only outside the United States), and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 606; SECOND: Subject to Article 16, to the payment (such payment, in the case of Euro Securities, to occur only outside the United States) of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person or Persons designated in writing by the Company. SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupon shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless: (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; 49

(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee an indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, against 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 that 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 to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such 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. SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or coupon shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Security or payment of such coupon on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holders on the Repayment Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 50

SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and (3) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction which, in the Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, is unduly prejudicial to other Holders of Securities of such series not consenting or would subject the Trustee to personal liability. SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 502, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect to Securities of such series and its consequences, except a default (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series or any related coupons, or (2) in respect of a 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 514. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, 51

delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. ARTICLE SIX THE TRUSTEE SECTION 601. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Securities and coupons of such series; and provided further that in the case of any Default or breach of the character specified in Section 501(3) with respect to the Securities and coupons of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. SECTION 602. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d): (1) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document (whether in its original or facsimile form) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. (2) Any request or direction of the Company or the Guarantor mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order or Guarantor Request or Guarantor Order, as the case may be (other than delivery of any Security, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein), and any resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Guarantor may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution. (3) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a Board Resolution, an Opinion of Counsel or an Officer's Certificate. (4) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and 52

(6) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee in good faith shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times during normal business hours to examine the books, records and premises of the Company or, if any Guarantees are issued, the Guarantor, personally or by agent or attorney.

(9) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limiation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 603. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, including any Guarantees endorsed thereon, except the Trustee's certificate of authentication, and in any coupons shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness.

Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent. SECTION 605. 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 with the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be. SECTION 606. Compensation and Reimbursement and Indemnification of Trustee. The Company agrees: (1) To pay to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as has been agreed upon from time to time in writing (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 each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or such predecessor Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.

As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on particular Securities or any coupons.

If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 54

SECTION 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. SECTION 609. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 610. (b) Subject to Section 609(a) hereof, the Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor. (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by (i) the Company, by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee, provided that contemporaneously therewith (x) the Company immediately appoints a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series meeting the requirements of Section 607 hereof and (y) the terms of Section 610 hereof are complied with in respect of such appointment (the Trustee being removed hereby agreeing to execute the instrument contemplated by Section 610(b) hereof, if applicable, under such circumstances) and provided further that no Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and then be continuing at such time, or (ii) Act of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor.

(e) If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of a notice of resignation or the delivery of an Act of removal, the Trustee resigning or being removed may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. (f) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Officer's Certificate, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series). If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such series.

Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the Guarantor and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company, the Guarantor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606. (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee 56

shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company, the Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates. Whenever there is a successor Trustee with respect to one or more (but less than all) series of securities issued pursuant to this Indenture, the terms "Indenture" and "Securities" shall have the meanings specified in the provisos to the respective definition of those terms in Section 101 which contemplate such situation. (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be. (d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article. SECTION 611. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities or coupons 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 or coupons so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case any Securities or coupons shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in either its own 57

name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 612. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents (which may be an Affiliate or Affiliates of the Company) with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue or upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to 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 58

Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall promptly give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section. The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form: This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture. The Bank of New York, as Trustee By: ---------------------------------- as Authenticating Agent By: ---------------------------------- Authorized Officer If all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent (which, if so requested by the Company, shall be an Affiliate of the Company) having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities, provided that the terms and conditions of such appointment are acceptable to the Trustee. 59

Unless otherwise specified in Section 902, without the consent of any Holders of Securities or coupons, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes: (1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or the Guarantor and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, herein and in the Securities and the Guarantees in accordance with Article Eight hereof; or (2) to add to the covenants of the Company or the Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities and any related coupons (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company or the Guarantor; or (3) to add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such Events of Default are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such Events of Default are expressly being 62

included solely for the benefit of such series); provided, however, that in respect of any such additional Events of Default such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of that or those series of Securities to which such additional Events of Default apply to waive such default; or (4) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to provide that Bearer Securities may be registrable as to principal, to change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal of or any premium or interest on Bearer Securities, to permit Bearer Securities to be issued in exchange for Registered Securities, to permit Bearer Securities to be issued in exchange for Bearer Securities of other authorized denominations or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in uncertificated form; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material respect; or (5) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture; provided that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Security Outstanding of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision; or (6) to secure the Securities pursuant to the requirements of Section 801 or 1006, or otherwise; or (7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series and any related coupons as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, including the provisions and procedures relating to Securities convertible into or exchangeable for any securities of any Person (including the Company); or (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee; or (9) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material respect; or (10) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities pursuant to Sections 401, 1502 and 1503; provided that any such action shall 63

not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related coupons or any other series of Securities in any material respect. SECTION 902. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company, and the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture which affect such series of Securities or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related coupons under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of each such series affected thereby: (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security; or the terms of any sinking fund with respect to any Security; or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon, or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or repayment thereof at the option of the Holder, or change any obligation of the Company to pay Additional Amounts as contemplated by Section 1007 (except as contemplated by Section 801(1) and permitted by Section 901(1)), or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502, or upon the redemption thereof or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 504, or adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security, or change any Place of Payment where, or the Currency in which, any Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption on or after the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holder, on or after the Repayment Date), or modify the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the mandatory redemption of Securities or repayment of the Securities at the option of the Holder in a manner adverse to any Holder of any Securities or any coupons appertaining thereto, or adversely affect any right to convert or exchange any Security as may be provided pursuant to Section 301 herein, (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver with respect to such series (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1009, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder of a Security or coupon with respect to 64

changes in the references to "the Trustee" and concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 610(b) and 901(8), (4) modify any of the provisions of this Indenture relating to the subordination of the Securities in a manner adverse to the Holders; or (5) reduce the terms and conditions of any obligations of the Guarantor in respect of the due and punctual payment of the principal thereof and premium, if any, and interest, if any, thereon. It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. SECTION 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder and of any coupon appertaining thereto shall be bound thereby. SECTION 905. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect. 65

SECTION 906. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall, if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company having, if applicable, Guarantees endorsed thereon and executed by the Guarantor, and authenticated and delivered (which delivery, in the case of Euro Securities, shall occur only outside the United States) by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series. SECTION 907. Effect on Senior Indebtedness. No supplemental indenture shall adversely affect the rights of any holder of Senior Indebtedness under Article Sixteen without the consent of such holder. ARTICLE TEN COVENANTS SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, if Any, and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities and any related coupons that it will duly and punctually pay, in the 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), the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and any interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on Bearer Securities on or before Maturity shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the respective coupons for such interest installments. SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for such series an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served, which agency initially shall be The Bank of New York, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, Attention: . If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain (A) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served and where Bearer Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment in the circumstances described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise); (B) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series which is located outside 66

the United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1007); provided, however, that, if the Securities of that series are listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Limited, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in London, Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are listed on such exchange; and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and give prompt notice to the Holders as provided in Section 106 of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of any series of Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders of Securities of that series may be made and notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1007) at any Paying Agent for such series located outside the United States, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive all such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, no payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to any account maintained with a financial institution located in the United States; provided, however, that, if the Securities of a series are denominated and payable in Dollars, payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and any interest on any Bearer Security (including any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1007) shall be made at the office of the Company's Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, if any, interest or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. 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 accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such 67

other office or agency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. SECTION 1003. Money for Security Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company or the Guarantor shall at any time act as a Paying Agent with respect to the Securities of any series and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or any interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum (in the 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 (and premium, if any) or any interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will 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 and any related coupons, it will, prior to or on each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or any interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the 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 (and premium, if any) or any interest so becoming due, such sum of money to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure so to act. The Company will 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 will: (1) hold all sums of money for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest on Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums of money shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that 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 68

Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums of money held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. Except as provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company or the Guarantor, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest on any Security of any series, or any coupon appertaining thereto, and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company or the Guarantor) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security or any coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, look only to the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money held in trust, and all liability of the Company or the Guarantor 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, 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, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. SECTION 1004. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Eight, the Company and, so long as any Securities in respect of which Guarantees have been issued are Outstanding, the Guarantor will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be required to preserve any such right or franchise if its Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of its business. SECTION 1005. Maintenance of Principal Properties. The Company will cause all Principal Properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the maintenance of any of such properties or prevent or restrict the sale, abandonment or other disposition of any of such properties if such action is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole. SECTION 1006. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, 69

(a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and (b) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith. SECTION 1007. Additional Amounts. If Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts to any Holder who is a non-United States Person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge ("Additional Amounts"), the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or any coupon appertaining thereto such Additional Amounts as may be so provided by Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of a series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of a Security of a series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301 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 provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, 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 that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal (and premium, if any) is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officer's Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officer's Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related coupons who are non-United States Persons without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officer's Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that series or related coupons and the Company will 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 Officer's Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section or in the event the Trustee shall not withhold or deduct any sums as a result of the non-receipt of an Officer's Certificate pursuant to this Section. 70

SECTION 1008. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Company and, so long as any Securities in respect of which Guarantees have been issued are Outstanding, the Guarantor, each shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, ending after the date hereof so long as any Security is Outstanding hereunder, an Officer's Certificate, stating that in the course of the performance by the signatory of his or her duties as such officer of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, they would normally obtain knowledge of any Default by the Company in the performance or fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, and stating whether or not they have obtained knowledge of any such Default existing on the date of such statement and, if so, specifying each such Default of which the signatory has knowledge and the nature thereof. (b) The Company will, so long as any of the Securities of any series are Outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, as promptly as practicable upon any officer listed in (a) above becoming aware of any Default, Event of Default or default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in this Indenture, an Officer's Certificate specifying such Default, Event of Default, default or event of default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto and the status thereof. SECTION 1009. Waiver of Certain Covenants. With respect to the Securities of any series, the Company and the Guarantor may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition specified pursuant to Section 301 as being subject to this Section 1009, if, before the time for such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect. SECTION 1010. Limitations on Liens. The Company shall not create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any of its property or assets, without securing the Securities of any applicable series equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured Indebtedness; provided, however, that the foregoing shall apply only to Liens which in the aggregate exceed 15% of the Company's total consolidated assets as of the end of the Company's most recent accounting period preceding the creation or assumption of any such Lien (reduced by any Attributable Debt with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction permitted under Section 1011 below). This restriction will not apply to Capitalized Leases or to Indebtedness secured by (a) Liens existing on the date hereof and Liens on property of, or Indebtedness of, any Person at the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary (whether by acquisition or otherwise, including through merger or consolidation), (b) Liens in favor of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, (c) Liens existing at the time of acquisition of the assets secured thereby (including acquisition through merger or consolidation) and purchase money Liens, and (d) any extension, renewal or refunding of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), inclusive. 71

SECTION 1011. Limitations on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction with respect to any Principal Property unless (a) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a term of not more than three years; (b) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is between the Company and a Subsidiary of the Company or between Subsidiaries of the Company; (c) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur indebtedness secured by a Lien on such Principal Property involved in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction at least equal in amount to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction pursuant to the first sentence of the "Limitations on Liens" covenant in Section 1010 above without equally and ratably securing the Securities of any applicable series pursuant to such covenant; (d) the proceeds of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) and the Company applies an amount equal to the greater of the net proceeds of such sale or the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction within 180 days of such sale to either (or a combination) of (i) the retirement (other than the mandatory retirement, mandatory prepayment or sinking fund payment or by payment at maturity) of debt for borrowed money of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company that matures more than 12 months after its creation (other than debt that is subordinated to the Securities or debt to the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) or (ii) the purchase, construction or development of other comparable property; or (e) such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into within 180 days after the initial acquisition by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, of the Principal Property subject to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction. ARTICLE ELEVEN REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company 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 and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed, and shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Securities to be redeemed pursuant to Section 1103. In the case of any redemption of Securities of any series (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition. 72

SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of a specified tenor 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 issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that such method complies with the rules of any national securities exchange or quotation system on which the Securities are then listed, and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Security not redeemed to less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series. 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 Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed. SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security 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 such Security or portion thereof. Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. All notices of redemption shall state: (1) the Redemption Date, (2) the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, (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 73

of such Security, the Holder will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed, (5) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106 will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the 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 of Payment (which in the case of Euro Securities shall be outside the United States) where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, (7) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, (8) that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all coupons maturing subsequent to the Redemption Date or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, the Trustee for such series and any Paying Agent is furnished, (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be made, and (10) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any. 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 Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003)) an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date. 74

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 in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest, and provided further that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, 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, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Redemption Price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to Maturity of such Security. SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and 75

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 and of like tenor, 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, with, if applicable, Guarantees endorsed thereon duly executed by the Guarantor. If a temporary global Security or permanent global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new temporary global Security or permanent global Security, respectively. However, if less than all the Securities of any series with differing issue dates, interest rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its sole discretion shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed and shall notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 45 days prior to the relevant redemption date. 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 specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series. 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 such Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. Subject to Section 1203, the Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series to the Trustee (other than any previously called for redemption or presented for repayment at the option of the Holder) together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been previously purchased or otherwise acquired or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of the same series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the 76

sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer's 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 in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting 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 delivered and credited. If such Officer's 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 more 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 Sections 1105, 1106 and 1107. ARTICLE THIRTEEN GUARANTEES SECTION 1301. Guarantees. If Securities of or within a series are specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be guaranteed by the Guarantor, then the Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of any such Security which is authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to each Holder of any coupon appertaining to any such Security, if any, and to the Trustee on behalf of each such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest (including, in case of default, interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue interest and including any additional interest required to be paid according to the terms of any such Security or any coupon appertaining thereto), if any, on each such Security, and the due and punctual payment of any sinking fund payment (or analogous obligation), if any, provided for with respect to any such Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon acceleration, upon tender for repayment at the option of any Holder or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of this Indenture, including, without limitation, the payment of any Additional Amounts, if any, provided for with respect to any such Security as described under Section 1007 hereof (the "Guarantor Obligations"). In case of the failure of the Company or any successor thereto punctually to pay any such principal, premium, interest or sinking fund payment, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, 77

upon redemption, upon declaration of acceleration, upon tender for repayment at the option of any Holder or otherwise, as if such payment were made by the Company. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantor Obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the identity of the Company, the validity, regularity or enforceability of any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Holder of any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto with respect to any provisions thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantees will not be discharged except by complete performance of its obligations contained in any such Security or coupon appertaining thereto and in this Guarantee. If the Trustee or the Holder of any Security or any coupon appertaining thereto is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or the Guarantor, or any custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid to the Trustee or such Holder in respect of a Security or any coupons appertaining thereto, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Guarantor further agrees, to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so, that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, the maturity of the obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition extant under any applicable bankruptcy law preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Securities of a series (and of any coupons appertaining thereto) against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor on account of such Securities or any coupons appertaining thereto or this Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on all Securities of such series shall have been indefeasibly paid in full. SECTION 1302. Execution and Delivery of Guarantees. To evidence its Guarantees with respect to Securities of or within any series that are specified, as contemplated by Section 301, to be guaranteed by the Guarantor, the Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantees, in a form established pursuant to Section 201, to be endorsed on each Security of such series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Financial Officer, or its President, or one of its Executive Vice Presidents or Vice Presidents, or by its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Guarantees may be manual or facsimile. 78

Guarantees bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of the individuals who were the proper officers of the Guarantor shall bind the Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of the Securities upon which such Guarantees are endorsed or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. The delivery of any Securities by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantees endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantees set forth in this Article Thirteen shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee. SECTION 1303. Subordination of Guarantees. Any Guarantee issued by the Guarantor will be the unsecured senior subordinated obligation of the Guarantor, ranking pari passu with all other existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness of the Guarantor, if any. The Indebtedness evidenced by such Guarantee will be subordinated on the same basis to Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor as the Securities are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company under Article Seventeen. SECTION 1304. Limitation of Guarantor's Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of a Security each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that in no event shall any Guarantor Obligations under the Guarantees constitute or result in a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of, or result in a violation of, any United States federal, or applicable United States state, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, in the event that the Guarantor Obligations, if any, in respect of the Securities of any series would, but for this sentence, constitute or result in such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation, then the liability of the Guarantor under its Guarantees in respect of the Securities of such series shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation under the applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law. ARTICLE FOURTEEN REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS SECTION 1401. Applicability of Article. Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article. SECTION 1402. Repayment of Securities. Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at the Repayment Price thereof, together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or the Guarantor is acting as Paying 79

Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to pay the Repayment Price of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date. SECTION 1403. Exercise of Option. Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Securities. To be repaid at the option of the Holder, any Security so providing for such repayment, with the "Option to Elect Repayment" form on the reverse of such Security duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing), must be received by the Company at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 45 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date. If less than the entire Repayment Price of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the portion of the Repayment Price of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified. Any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company. SECTION 1404. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable. If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company and, if applicable, the Guarantor shall default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment Date, the Repayment Price of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; provided, however, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of such coupons; and provided further that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, in the case of Registered Securities, installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or 80

one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the amount payable therefor as provided in Section 1402 an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company, the Guarantor, if applicable, and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made as provided in the preceding sentence, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons. If any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, the Repayment Price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to Maturity of such Security. SECTION 1405. Securities Repaid in Part. Upon surrender of any Registered Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid, with, if applicable, Guarantees endorsed thereon duly executed by the Guarantor. If a temporary global Security or permanent global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new temporary global Security or a new permanent global Security, respectively. ARTICLE FIFTEEN DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE SECTION 1501. Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1502 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1503, then the provisions of such Section 1502 or Section 1503, as the case may be, together with Sections 1504, 1505 and 1506, shall be applicable to the Securities of such series, and the Company may, at its option by Officer's Certificate, at any time, with respect to the Securities of such series, elect to have either Section 1502 (if applicable) or Section 1503 (if applicable) be applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Fourteen. 81

SECTION 1502. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series and subject to Sections 1505 and 1506, the Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any related coupons on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below are satisfied but subject to satisfaction of the conditions subsequent set forth below (hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of such series and any related coupons, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 1505 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Securities and any related coupons and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any related coupons 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: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities of such securities and any related coupons to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1504 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Securities and any related coupons when such payments are due, (B) the Company's obligations and, to the extent applicable, the Guarantor's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 1007, and such obligations as shall be ancillary thereto, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, immunities and other provisions in respect of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article Fifteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Fifteen, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 1502 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1503 with respect to such Securities and any related coupons. Following a defeasance, payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. Money and securities held in trust pursuant to this Section 1502 shall not be subject to Article Sixteen. SECTION 1503. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company and the Guarantor shall each be released from its obligations under any Section(s) of this Indenture applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to this provision with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any related coupons on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below are satisfied but subject to satisfaction of the conditions subsequent set forth below (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and such Securities and any related coupons shall thereafter be deemed not to be "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such Sections, 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 of such series and any related coupons, the Company and the Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of reference in any such Section 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 hereunder, but, except as specified 82

above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and any related coupons shall be unaffected thereby. Following a covenant defeasance, payment of the Securities of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default solely by reference to such Sections specified above in this Section 1503. SECTION 1504. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions precedent or, as specifically noted below, subsequent, to application of either Section 1502 or Section 1503 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any related coupons: (1) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Fifteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for the benefit of, and dedicated solely to, the Holders of such Securities and any related coupons, (A) Dollars in an amount, or (B) Government Obligations 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, Dollars in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee), to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) each installment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Outstanding Securities and any related coupons on the Stated Maturity (or Redemption Date, if applicable) of such principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Securities of such series and the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any related coupons on the due dates thereof. Before such a deposit, the Company may give to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 1102 hereof, a notice of its election to redeem all or any portion of such Outstanding Securities at a future date in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series and Article Eleven hereof, which notice shall be irrevocable. Such irrevocable redemption notice, if given, shall be given effect in applying the foregoing. (2) No Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any related coupons shall have occurred and be continuing (A) on the date of such deposit or (B) insofar as paragraphs (4) and (5) of Section 501 are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following the expiration of the longest preference period applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit (it being understood that the condition in this clause (B) is a condition subsequent and shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period). (3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not (A) cause the Trustee for the Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as defined in TIA Section 310(b) or otherwise for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities 83

of the Company or (B) result in the trust arising from such deposit to constitute, unless it is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. (4) 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. (5) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause any Securities of such series then listed on any registered national securities exchange under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be delisted. (6) In the case of an election under Section 1502, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of 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 of such series and any related coupons 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. (7) In the case of an election under Section 1503, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series and any related coupons 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.

The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy. (d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1602 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.

The Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities by his or her acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly 88

subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. SECTION 1702. Distribution on Dissolution, Liquidation and Reorganization; Subrogation of Securities. Upon any distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise (subject to the power of a court of competent jurisdiction to make other equitable provision reflecting the rights conferred in this Indenture upon the Senior Indebtedness and the holders thereof with respect to the Securities and the holders thereof by a lawful plan of reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law): (a) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of the principal thereof (and premium, if any) and interest due thereon before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment upon the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on indebtedness evidenced by the Securities; and (b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article Seventeen shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and (c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over, upon written notice to the Trustee, to the holder of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instrument evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to Senior 89

Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities shall be paid in full and no such payments or distributions to the Holders of the Securities of cash, property or securities otherwise distributable to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article Seventeen are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article Seventeen or elsewhere in this indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or in the Securities prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article Seventeen of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Seventeen, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Seventeen. The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be liable to any such holder if it shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Securities or the Company moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Seventeen. If the Trustee or any Holder of Securities does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to above prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim in such proceeding, then the holder of any Senior Indebtedness is hereby authorized, and has the right, to file an appropriate claim or claims for or on behalf of such Holder of Securities. With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. SECTION 1703. No Payment on Securities in Event of Default on Senior Indebtedness. No payment by the Company on account of principal (or premium, if any), sinking funds or interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made unless full payment of amounts 90

then due for principal (premium, if any), sinking funds and interest on Senior Indebtedness has been made or duly provided for in money or money's worth. SECTION 1704. Payments on Securities Permitted. Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall (a) affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, at any time except as provided in Sections 1702 and 1703, payments of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities or (b) prevent the application by the Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office written notice of any event prohibiting the making of such payment more than two Business Days prior to the date fixed for such payment. SECTION 1705. Authorization of Holders to Trustee to Effect Subordination. Each Holder of Securities by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article Seventeen and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. SECTION 1706. Notices to Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent (other than the Company) shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any event which would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have received (in the case of the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office) written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder of any Senior Indebtedness or from the trustee for any such holder, together with proof satisfactory to the Trustee of such holding of Senior Indebtedness or of the authority of such trustee; provided, however, that if at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of either the principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section 1706, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such a notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Seventeen, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article Seventeen and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. 91

SECTION 1707. Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article Seventeen in respect of any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in this Indenture shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article Seventeen shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 606. SECTION 1708. Modifications of Terms of Senior Indebtedness. Any renewal or extension of the time of payment of any Senior Indebtedness or the exercise by the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any of their rights under any instrument creating or evidencing Senior Indebtedness, including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, may be made or done all without notice to or assent from the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee. No compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver, consent or other action in respect of, any liability or obligation under or in respect of, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any indenture or other instrument under which any Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or of such Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such release is in accordance with the provisions of any applicable document, shall in any way alter or affect any of the provisions of this Article Seventeen or of the Securities relating to the subordination thereof. SECTION 1709. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Seventeen, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Seventeen. * * * * * This Indenture 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 Indenture. 92

From time to time, Viacom Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") [, and Viacom International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Co-Issuer")], may enter into one or more warrant agreements that provide for the issuance and sale of warrants ("Warrants") to purchase shares of the Company's Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value [of which the redemption price and the liquidation amount shall be guaranteed by the Co-Issuer] ("Shares"). The standard provisions set forth herein may be included or incorporated by reference in any such warrant agreement (a "Warrant Agreement"). The Warrant Agreement, including the provisions incorporated therein by reference, is herein referred to as this "Agreement." The person named as the "Warrant Agent" in the first paragraph of the Warrant Agreement is herein referred to as the "Warrant Agent." Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the Warrant Agreement, as the case may be, terms defined in the Warrant Agreement are used herein as therein defined and terms defined herein are used in the Warrant Agreement as herein defined. Article 1 Issuance, Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates Section 1.1 Issuance of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate shall evidence one or more Warrants. Each Warrant evidenced thereby shall represent the right, subject to the provisions contained herein and therein, to purchase such numbers of Shares as are set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The number of Warrants which may be issued and delivered under this Agreement is unlimited. There shall be established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee thereof or established in one or more warrant agreements supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of any Warrants: the designation of such

Warrants; if the Warrants are issued together as a unit with any other securities of the Company, the date after which the Warrants shall be freely tradable separately from such other securities (the "Distribution Date"); if the Company may at its option or under circumstances described therein provide for an earlier Distribution Date; the expiration date, pursuant to Section 2.2; the exercise price and any form of consideration other than lawful money of the United States of America by which the exercise price may be paid pursuant to Section 2.1; the Call Price, Call Date and Call Terms pursuant to Section 3.4; the limitations, if any, upon the Reduced Warrant Price and the Reduced Warrant Price Period, pursuant to Section 3.5; the circumstances, if any, under which the Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment and the manner of making any such adjustment. Section 1.2 Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, whenever issued, shall be in registered form substantially in such form or forms as shall be established by the Company [and the Co-Issuer] from time to time pursuant to one or more resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company [and the Co-Issuer] or in one or more warrant agreements supplemental hereto, and in each case shall be dated as of the date of issuance thereof, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the officers of the Company [and the Co-Issuer] executing the Warrant Certificate may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with (i) any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or (ii) any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Warrant Certificates may be listed, or to conform to usage. The Warrant Certificates 2

shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its Chief Operating Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer, a Vice President or its Treasurer and attested by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary. [The Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Co-Issuer by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its Chief Operating Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer, a Vice President or its Treasurer and attested by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary.] Such signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company [and the Co-Issuer] shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly delivered hereunder. If any officer of the Company [or of the Co-Issuer] who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned and delivered to the Warrant Agent, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though the person who signed such Warrant Certificates had not ceased to be such officer of the Company [or of the Co-Issuer, as the case may be]. Any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company [and the Co-Issuer] by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be the proper officers of the Company [and the Co-Issuer, respectively], although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such persons was not an officer. 3

Section 1.3 Registration and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of Warrant Certificates, duly executed on behalf of the Company [and the Co-Issuer], countersign the Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Warrant Agreement and shall deliver such Warrant Certificates to the appropriate person or entity upon the order of the Company [and the Co-Issuer]. After the original issuance of the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall countersign a Warrant Certificate only if the Warrant Certificate is issued in exchange or substitution for, or in connection with the registration of transfer of, one or more previously countersigned Warrant Certificates, as hereinafter provided. The Warrant Certificates shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The Warrant Agent's countersignature on all Warrants shall be in substantially the following form: [NAME OF WARRANT AGENT], as Warrant Agent By_________________________________ Authorized Signatory Article 2 Warrant Price, Duration and Exercise of Warrant Certificates Section 2.1 Warrant Price. The exercise price of each Warrant and any other form of consideration other than lawful money of the United States of America by which the exercise price may be paid shall be as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The purchase price (including moneys and such other consideration) of the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is referred to in this Agreement as the "Warrant Price" and is payable in full at the time of exercise. 4

Section 2.2 Duration of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates may be exercised in whole at any time, and in part from time to time, during the period set forth in the Warrant Agent (the "Expiration Date"). Each Warrant Certificate not exercised on or before the close of business on the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights of the holder thereunder and under this Agreement shall cease. Section 2.3 Exercise of Warrant Certificates. (a) Prior to the Expiration Date, a Warrant Certificate, if countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised in whole or in part by providing certain information set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate and, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.1, by paying in full (in cash or by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds), in United States dollars, the Warrant Price for the Shares as to which the Warrant Certificate is exercised, to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office at the address set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The payment must specify the name of the holder and the number of Warrants exercised by such holder. Warrants will be deemed to have been exercised upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Price and the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed by the registered holder or holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed (under the Medallion Program) by a bank or trust company, by a broker or dealer which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or by a member of a national securities exchange. If the Warrant Agent receives moneys in payment of the Warrant Price, the Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it in the account of the Company maintained with it for such purpose. If the Warrant Agent receives consideration other than moneys for Warrants, the 5

Warrant Agent shall deliver such consideration directly to the Company. In either case, the Warrant Agent shall advise the Company [and the Co-Issuer] by telex or telecopy at the end of each day as to the Warrant Certificates that have been exercised and the amount of moneys deposited to its account or the type and amount of other consideration to be delivered to it. (b) The Warrant Agent shall, from time to time, as promptly as practicable, advise the Company [and the Co-Issuer] of (i) the number of Warrants exercised, (ii) the instructions of each holder of the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants with respect to delivery of the Shares to which such holder is entitled upon such exercise, (iii) delivery of Warrant Certificates evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise and (iv) such other information as the Company [and the Co-Issuer] shall reasonably require. (c) As soon as practicable after receipt of payment of the Warrant Price and the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent, the Company shall issue or deliver, upon the order of the holder of such Warrant Certificate, the Shares in authorized denominations to which such holder is entitled, in fully registered form in such name or names as maybe directed by such holder, and if such Warrant Certificate was not exercised in full, upon request of the holder a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants remaining unexercised shall be issued if sufficient time remains prior to the Expiration Date. [Simultaneously, the Co-Issuer shall enter into a Preferred Stock Guarantee Agreement with respect to the Shares to which such holder is entitled, and if such Warrant Certificate was not exercised in full, upon request of the holder, shall execute and deliver together with the Company the above-mentioned new Warrant Certificate evidencing the 6

number of Warrants remaining unexercised shall be issued if sufficient time remains prior to the Expiration Date.] (d) The Company [and the Co-Issuer] shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Shares in a name other than the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company [and the Co-Issuer] shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company [and the Co-Issuer] the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company [and the Co-Issuer] that such tax has been paid. Article 3 Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrant Certificates Section 3.1 No Rights as Securityholders Conferred by Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate shall entitle the holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, [or to any rights to guarantee payments by the Co-Issuer] including the right to receive the payment of dividends on or vote the Shares. Section 3.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company [, the Co-Issuer] and the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably 7

satisfactory to them of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant Certificate, and of such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender thereof to the Warrant Agent for cancellation, then, in the absence of notice to the Company [, the Co-Issuer] or the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company [and the Co-Issuer] shall execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the lost, stolen or destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and for a like number of Warrants. Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate under this Section, the Company [and the Co-Issuer] 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 expense (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) in connection therewith. Every substitute Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Section in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company [and the Co-Issuer], whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly executed and delivered hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates. Section 3.3 Holder of Warrant Certificate May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, any holder of any Warrant Certificate, without the consent of the Warrant Agent, the holder of any Shares or the holder of any other Warrant 8

Certificate, may, in his or her own behalf and for his or her own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any action or proceeding against the Company [and the Co-Issuer] to enforce or otherwise in respect of, his or her right to exercise his or her Warrant Certificate in the manner provided in his or her Warrant Certificate and in his or her Agreement. Section 3.4 Call of Warrants by the Company. If so provided in the Warrant Agreement, the Company shall have the right to call and repurchase any or all Warrants at the price (the "Call Price") and on or after the date (the "Call Date") and upon the terms (the "Call Terms") as shall be established from time to time in or pursuant to the Warrant Agreement before the issuance of such Warrants, or to resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company. Notice of such Call Price, Call Date and Call Terms shall be given to registered holders of Warrants in writing by the Company or the Warrant Agent. Section 3.5 Optional Reduction of Warrant Price. Subject to the limits, if any, established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company or in the Warrant Agreement, the Company shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily to reduce the then current Warrant Price to such amount (the "Reduced Warrant Price") and for such period or periods of time, which may be through the close of business on the Expiration Date (the "Reduced Warrant Price Period"), as may be deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company. Notice of any such Reduced Warrant Price and Reduced Warrant Price Period shall be given to registered holders of Warrants in writing by the Company or the Warrant Agent. After the termination of the Reduced Warrant Price Period, the Warrant Price shall be such Warrant Price that would have been in effect had there been no reduction in the Warrant Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.5. 9

Section 3.6 Reservation of Shares. For the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the Company will at all times through the close of business on the Expiration Date, reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights and out of its aggregate authorized but unissued or treasury shares of Preferred Stock, the number of Shares deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, and the transfer agent for the shares is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized and unissued or treasury shares of Preferred Stock as shall be required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with such transfer agent and with every transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from such transfer agent stock certificates issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants, and the Company will supply such transfer agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purpose. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 3.7 reducing the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted. The Company covenants that all Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests created by or imposed upon the Company with respect to the issuance and holding thereof. 10

Section 3.7 [Intentionally omitted]. Section 3.8 Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Purchasable or Number of Warrants. The Exercise Price, the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this Section 3.8. (a) If the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on its capital stock (including Preferred Stock) in shares of Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into smaller number of shares of Preferred Stock or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Preferred Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the holder of each Warrant shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Shares or other securities of the Company which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. (b) In the event of any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the Preferred Stock (except as provided in paragraph (a) above or paragraph (h) below), any holder of Warrants upon exercise thereof shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Preferred Stock to which he or she would have become entitled upon exercise immediately prior to such 11

reorganization or reclassification, the shares (of any class or classes) or other securities or property of the Company that he or she would have been entitled to receive at the same aggregate Exercise Price upon such reorganization or reclassification if his or her Warrants had been exercised immediately prior thereto; and in any such case, appropriate provision (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be evidenced by a resolution filed with the Warrant Agent) shall be made for the application of this Section 3.8 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of Warrants (including the allocation of the adjusted Warrant Price between or among shares of classes of capital stock), to the end that this Section 3.8 (including the adjustments of the number of shares of Preferred Stock or other securities purchasable and the Warrant Price thereof) shall thereafter be reflected, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in all subsequent exercises of the Warrants for any shares or securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants. (c) Except for adjustments required by paragraph (h) hereof, no adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made to the nearest cent and to the nearest one-hundredth of a Share, as the case may be. (d) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted as herein provided (whether or not the Company then or thereafter elects to issue additional Warrants in substitution for an adjustment in the number of Shares as provided 12

in paragraph (f), the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter. (e) For the purpose of this Section 3.8, the term "shares of Stock" shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Preferred Stock of the Company at the date of this Agreement, or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassification of such shares consisting solely of changes in par value, from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, the holders of Warrants shall become entitled to purchase any shares of the Company other than shares of Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price of such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Shares contained in paragraphs (a) through (d), inclusive, above, and the provisions of Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.6, 3.7(a) and 3.10, with respect to the Shares, shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. (f) The Company may elect, on or after the date of any adjustment required by paragraphs (a) through (b) of this Section 3.8, to adjust the number of Warrants in substitution for an adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant. Each of the Warrants outstanding after such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall be exercisable for the same number of shares as immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Warrant held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall become that number of Warrants 13

(calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained by dividing the Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by the Warrant Price in effect after adjustment of the Warrant Price. The Company shall notify the holders of Warrants in the same manner as provided in the first paragraph of Section 3.10, of its election to adjust the number of Warrants, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the Exercise Price is adjusted or any day thereafter. Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrants pursuant to this paragraph (f) the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record of Warrants on such record date Warrant Certificates evidencing, subject to Section 3.9, the additional Warrants to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution and replacement for the Warrant Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company, new Warrant Certificates evidencing all the Warrants to be issued, executed and registered in the manner specified in Section 1.3 and Article 4 (and which may bear, at the option of the Company, the adjusted Exercise Price) and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record of Warrant Certificates on the record date specified in the notice. (g) Except as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.8, no adjustment in respect of any dividends shall be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant. (h) In case of any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another corporation or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or such 14

successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrant Agent [and the Co-Issuer] an agreement that each holder of a Warrant shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which he or she would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action. The Company shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of a Warrant, notice of the execution of any such agreement. Such agreement shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3.8. The provisions of this paragraph (h) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. The Warrant Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any such agreement relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon exercise of Warrants or with respect to the method employed and provided therein for any adjustments and shall be entitled to rely upon the provisions contained in any such agreement. (i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement. 15

Section 3.9 Fractional Warrants and Fractional Shares. (a) The Company [and the Co-Issuer] shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrants on any distribution of Warrants to holders of Warrant Certificates or to distribute Warrant Certificates that evidence fractional Warrants. In lieu of such fractional Warrants, there shall be paid to the registered holder of the Warrant Certificates with regard to which such fractional Warrants would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a full Warrant. For purposes of this Section 3.9, the current market value of a Warrant shall be the closing price of one Warrant (as determined pursuant to paragraph (c) below) for the trading day immediately prior to the date on which such fractional Warrant would have been otherwise issuable. (b) Notwithstanding any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.9 in the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall not be required to issue, and the Co-Issuer shall not be required to guarantee, fractions of Shares upon exercise of the Warrants or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Shares. In lieu of fractional Shares, there shall be paid to the registered holders of Warrant Certificates at the time such Warrant Certificates are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a share of Preferred Stock. For purposes of this Section 3.9, the current market value of a share of Preferred Stock shall be the closing price of a share of Preferred Stock (as determined pursuant to paragraph (c) below) for the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise. (c) The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, if no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular 16

way, for such day, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Warrants or Stock, as the case may be, is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, as reported on the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Warrants or Preferred Stock, respectively, is listed or admitted to trading, or if the Warrants or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, as reported on Nasdaq National Market or, if the Warrants or Stock, as the case may be, is not listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq National Market, as reported on Nasdaq. Section 3.10 Notices to Warrantholders. Upon any adjustment of the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant, the Warrant Price or the number of Warrants outstanding, the Company within 20 calendar days thereafter shall (i) cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company (who may be the regular auditors of the Company) setting forth the Warrant Price and either the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant or the additional number of Warrants to be issued for each previously outstanding Warrant, as the case may be, after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such adjustment was made, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of the matters set forth therein, and (ii) cause to be given to each of the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates at such holder's address appearing on the Warrant Register written notice of such adjustments by first class mail, postage prepaid. Where appropriate, such notice may be given in advance and included as part of the notice required to be mailed under the other provisions of this Section 3.10. 17

The Company shall cause written notice of any later Distribution Date, any later Expiration Date, any Call Price, Call Date and Call Terms and any Reduced Exercise Price and Reduced Exercise Price Period, as the case may be, to be given as soon as practicable to the Warrant Agent and to each of the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address appearing on the Warrant Register. In addition to the written notice referred to in the preceding sentence, the Company shall make a public announcement in a daily morning newspaper of general circulation in New York City of such earlier Distribution Date, such later Expiration Date, such Call Price, Call Date and Call Terms and such Reduced Exercise Price and Reduced Exercise Price Period, as the case may be, at least once prior to the implementation of such terms. If: (a) the Company shall declare any dividend payable in any securities upon its shares of Preferred Stock or make any distribution (other than a cash dividend) to the holders of is shares of Preferred Stock, or (b) the Company shall offer to the holders of its shares of Preferred Stock any additional shares of Preferred Stock or securities convertible into shares of Preferred Stock or any right to subscribe thereto, or (c) there shall be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety), 18

the Company shall cause written notice of such event to be filed with the Warrant Agent and shall cause written notice of such event to be given to each of the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates as such holder's address appearing on the Warrant Register, by first class mail, postage prepaid, and make a public announcement in a daily newspaper of general circulation in New York City of such event, such giving of notice and publication to be completed at least 10 calendar days (or 20 calendar days in any case specified in clause (c) above) prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 3.10 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, warrant, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or the vote upon or any other action taken in connection therewith. Article 4 Exchange and Transfer of Warrant Certificates Section 4.1 Exchange and Transfer. Upon surrender at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent, Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants may be exchanged for Warrant Certificates in other denominations evidencing such Warrants and the transfer of Warrants may be registered in whole or in part; provided that such other Warrant Certificates shall evidence the same aggregate number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer. The Warrant Agent shall keep, at its corporate trust office, books in which it shall register Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrant 19

Certificates, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificates to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office for exchange or registration of transfer, properly completed and duly endorsed and duly signed by the registered holder or holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed (under the Medallion Program) by (a) a bank or trust company, (b) a broker or dealer that is a member of the Nasdaq or (c) a member of a national securities exchange and accompanied by appropriate instruments of registration of transfer and written instructions for transfer, all in form satisfactory to the Company [, the Co-Issuer] and the Warrant Agent.

SECTION 305A. Transfer and Exchange. A Holder may transfer a Security only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture.

Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Securities may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry.

Luxembourgeoise to the Registrar. 8

Members of, or Participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian or the Common Depositary, as applicable, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

(d) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 305C, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest in such Global Security to be transferred.

(d) The Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in the good faith reliance upon any Warrant, notice, direction, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement or other paper or document signed by the Company reasonably believed by the Agent to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper persons. 18

(e) The Agent and its officers, directors and employees may become the owner of, or acquire any interest in, any Warrants, with the same rights that it or they would have if it were not the Agent hereunder, may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Company and may act on, or as depository, trustee or agent for, any committee or body of Registered Owners of the Warrants or holders of other obligations of the Company as freely as if it were not the Agent hereunder. (f) The recitals contained herein and in the Warrants (except in the Agent's certificates of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Agent makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Warrants, provided that the Agent shall not be relieved of its duty to authenticate Warrants as authorized by this Agreement. The Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the proceeds of the Warrants. (g) The Agent shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties as are herein and in the Warrants specifically set forth and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Warrants against the Agent. (h) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Agent from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct or that of its officers or employees. (i) The Agent shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company. SECTION 9.3. Agent Required. The Company agrees that, until all Warrants (i) shall have been delivered to the Agent for cancellation or (ii) have become null and void because of the passage of the Expiry Date, there shall at all times be a Agent hereunder which shall be a corporation doing business in the United States and which alone or with its affiliates has a combined capital and surplus of at least $[___,000,000]. SECTION 9.4. Resignation and Removal of Agent; Appointment of Successor. The Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice (in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof) to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall never be less than [90] days after the receipt of such notice by the Company unless the Company agrees to accept less notice. Upon receipt of such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly act to appoint a successor Agent. The Agent may be removed at any time by the Company by delivering written notice thereof specifying such removal and the date when it is intended to become effective. Any resignation or removal of the Agent shall take effect upon the date of the appointment by the Company as hereinafter provided of a successor and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. In case at any time the Agent shall resign, or shall be removed, or shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver of its or of its property shall be appointed, or if any public officer shall take charge or control of its or of its 19

property or affairs, for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, a successor agent, eligible as aforesaid, shall be appointed by the Company. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor agent and acceptance by it of such appointment, the Agent so superseded shall cease to be the Agent hereunder. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Company and shall have accepted appointment as hereinafter provided, then the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Warrants, on such Holders' behalf and on behalf of all others similarly situated may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Agent. Any successor Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Agent, without any further act deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as such Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall simultaneously therewith become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor Agent shall be entitled to receive, all moneys, [Notes/Debentures] or other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as such Agent hereunder. The Company or, at the discretion of the Company, the successor Agent, will give prompt written notice by U.S. Mail to each Registered Owner of the Warrants at such owner's address as it appears on the Register of the appointment of a successor Agent. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the appoint of a successor Agent. SECTION 9.5. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Agent. Any corporation into which the Agent may be merged or converted, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the assets and business of the Agent, shall be the successor to the Agent hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article VII, without the execution or filing of any document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Warrants shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Agent then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Agent may adopt such authentication and deliver the Warrants so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Agent had itself authenticated such Warrants.

From time to time, Viacom Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), may enter into one or more warrant agreements that provide for the issuance and sale of warrants ("Warrants") to purchase shares of the Company's Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value ("Shares"). The standard provisions set forth herein may be included or incorporated by reference in any such warrant agreement (a "Warrant Agreement"). The Warrant Agreement, including the provisions incorporated therein by reference, is herein referred to as this "Agreement." The person named as the "Warrant Agent" in the first paragraph of the Warrant Agreement is herein referred to as the "Warrant Agent." Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement or in the Warrant Agreement, as the case may be, terms defined in the Warrant Agreement are used herein as therein defined and terms defined herein are used in the Warrant Agreement as herein defined. ARTICLE 1 ISSUANCE, EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES Section 1.1 Issuance of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate shall evidence one or more Warrants. Each Warrant evidenced thereby shall represent the right, subject to the provisions contained herein and therein, to purchase such numbers of Shares as are set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The number of Warrants which may be issued and delivered under this Agreement is unlimited. There shall be established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee thereof or established in one or more warrant agreements supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of any Warrants: the designation of such Warrants; if the Warrants are issued together as a unit with any other securities of the Company, the date after which the Warrants shall be freely tradable separately from such other securities

(the "Distribution Date"); if the Company may at its option or under circumstances described therein provide for an earlier Distribution Date; the expiration date, pursuant to Section 2.2; the exercise price and any form of consideration other than lawful money of the United States of America by which the exercise price may be paid pursuant to Section 2.1; the Call Price, Call Date and Call Terms pursuant to Section 3.4; the limitations, if any, upon the Reduced Warrant Price and the Reduced Warrant Price Period, pursuant to Section 3.5; the circumstances, if any, under which the Exercise Price and the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment and the manner of making any such adjustment. Section 1.2 Execution and Delivery of Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, whenever issued, shall be in registered form substantially in such form or forms as shall be established by the Company from time to time pursuant to one or more resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company or in one or more warrant agreements supplemental hereto, and in each case shall be dated as of the date of issuance thereof, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the officers of the Company executing the Warrant Certificate may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with (i) any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or (ii) any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which the Warrant Certificates may be listed, or to conform to usage. The Warrant Certificates shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its Chief Operating Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer, a Vice President or its Treasurer and attested by its Secretary or Assistant Secretary. Such 2

signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no Warrant evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, until such Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual signature of the Warrant Agent. Such signature by the Warrant Agent upon any Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly delivered hereunder. If any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Warrant Certificates either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned and delivered to the Warrant Agent, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though the person who signed such Warrant Certificates had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Any Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Warrant Certificate, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any such persons was not an officer. Section 1.3 Registration and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of Warrant Certificates, duly executed on behalf of the Company, countersign the Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Warrant Agreement and shall deliver such Warrant Certificates to the appropriate person or 3

entity upon the order of the Company. After the original issuance of the Warrant Certificates, the Warrant Agent shall countersign a Warrant Certificate only if the Warrant Certificate is issued in exchange or substitution for, or in connection with the registration of transfer of, one or more previously countersigned Warrant Certificates, as hereinafter provided. The Warrant Certificates shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned. The Warrant Agent's countersignature on all Warrants shall be in substantially the following form: [NAME OF WARRANT AGENT], as Warrant Agent By_________________________________ Authorized Signatory ARTICLE 2 WARRANT PRICE, DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES Section 2.1 Warrant Price. The exercise price of each Warrant and any other form of consideration other than lawful money of the United States of America by which the exercise price may be paid shall be as set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The purchase price (including moneys and such other consideration) of the Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is referred to in this Agreement as the "Warrant Price" and is payable in full at the time of exercise. Section 2.2 Duration of Warrant Certificates. Warrant Certificates may be exercised in whole at any time, and in part from time to time, during the period set forth in the Warrant Agent (the "Expiration Date"). Each Warrant Certificate not exercised on or before the 4

close of business on the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights of the holder thereunder and under this Agreement shall cease. Section 2.3 Exercise of Warrant Certificates. (a) Prior to the Expiration Date, a Warrant Certificate, if countersigned by the Warrant Agent, may be exercised in whole or in part by providing certain information set forth on the reverse side of the Warrant Certificate and, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.1, by paying in full (in cash or by certified or official bank check in New York Clearing House funds or by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds), in United States dollars, the Warrant Price for the Shares as to which the Warrant Certificate is exercised, to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office at the address set forth in the Warrant Agreement. The payment must specify the name of the holder and the number of Warrants exercised by such holder. Warrants will be deemed to have been exercised upon receipt by the Warrant Agent of the Warrant Price and the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed by the registered holder or holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed (under the Medallion Program) by a bank or trust company, by a broker or dealer which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") or by a member of a national securities exchange. If the Warrant Agent receives moneys in payment of the Warrant Price, the Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it in the account of the Company maintained with it for such purpose. If the Warrant Agent receives consideration other than moneys for Warrants, the Warrant Agent shall deliver such consideration directly to the Company. In either case, the Warrant Agent shall advise the Company by telex or telecopy at the end of each day as to the Warrant Certificates 5

that have been exercised and the amount of moneys deposited to its account or the type and amount of other consideration to be delivered to it. (b) The Warrant Agent shall, from time to time, as promptly as practicable, advise the Company of (i) the number of Warrants exercised, (ii) the instructions of each holder of the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants with respect to delivery of the Shares to which such holder is entitled upon such exercise, (iii) delivery of Warrant Certificates evidencing the balance, if any, of the Warrants remaining after such exercise and (iv) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require. (c) As soon as practicable after receipt of payment of the Warrant Price and the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent, the Company shall issue or deliver, upon the order of the holder of such Warrant Certificate, the Shares in authorized denominations to which such holder is entitled, in fully registered form in such name or names as maybe directed by such holder, and if such Warrant Certificate was not exercised in full, upon request of the holder a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants remaining unexercised shall be issued if sufficient time remains prior to the Expiration Date. (d) The Company will pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of Warrants and of Shares upon the exercise of Warrants; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue of any Warrant Certificates or any certificates for Shares in a name other than the registered holder of a Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the exercise of a Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or 6

until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. ARTICLE 3 OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES Section 3.1 No Rights as Securityholders Conferred by Warrant Certificates. No Warrant Certificate shall entitle the holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to receive the payment of dividends on or vote the Shares. Section 3.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant Certificate, and of such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender thereof to the Warrant Agent for cancellation, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Warrant Agent that such Warrant Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute, and an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of the lost, stolen or destroyed or mutilated Warrant Certificate, a new Warrant Certificate of the same tenor and for a like number of Warrants. Upon the issuance of any new Warrant Certificate 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 expense (including the fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) in connection therewith. Every substitute Warrant Certificate executed and 7

delivered pursuant to this Section in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Warrant Certificates duly executed and delivered hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates. Section 3.3 Holder of Warrant Certificate May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, any holder of any Warrant Certificate, without the consent of the Warrant Agent, the holder of any Shares or the holder of any other Warrant Certificate, may, in his or her own behalf and for his or her own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any action or proceeding against the Company to enforce or otherwise in respect of, his or her right to exercise his or her Warrant Certificate in the manner provided in his or her Warrant Certificate and in his or her Agreement. Section 3.4 Call of Warrants by the Company. If so provided in the Warrant Agreement, the Company shall have the right to call and repurchase any or all Warrants at the price (the "Call Price") and on or after the date (the "Call Date") and upon the terms (the "Call Terms") as shall be established from time to time in or pursuant to the Warrant Agreement before the issuance of such Warrants, or to resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company. Notice of such Call Price, Call Date and Call Terms shall be given to registered holders of Warrants in writing by the Company or the Warrant Agent. 8

Section 3.5 Optional Reduction of Warrant Price. Subject to the limits, if any, established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company or in the Warrant Agreement, the Company shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily to reduce the then current Warrant Price to such amount (the "Reduced Warrant Price") and for such period or periods of time, which may be through the close of business on the Expiration Date (the "Reduced Warrant Price Period"), as may be deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company. Notice of any such Reduced Warrant Price and Reduced Warrant Price Period shall be given to registered holders of Warrants in writing by the Company or the Warrant Agent. After the termination of the Reduced Warrant Price Period, the Warrant Price shall be such Warrant Price that would have been in effect had there been no reduction in the Warrant Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.5. Section 3.6 Reservation of Shares. For the purpose of enabling it to satisfy any obligation to issue Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the Company will at all times through the close of business on the Expiration Date, reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights and out of its aggregate authorized but unissued or treasury shares of Preferred Stock, the number of Shares deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, and the transfer agent for the shares is hereby irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to reserve such number of authorized and unissued or treasury shares of Preferred Stock as shall be required for such purpose. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with such transfer agent and with every transfer agent for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants. The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to requisition from time to time from such transfer agent stock certificates issuable upon exercise of outstanding 9

Warrants, and the Company will supply such transfer agent with duly executed stock certificates for such purpose. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment pursuant to Section 3.7 reducing the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any) of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted. The Company covenants that all Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests created by or imposed upon the Company with respect to the issuance and holding thereof. Section 3.7 Obtaining of Governmental Approvals and Stock Exchange Listings. So long as any Warrants remain outstanding, the Company will take all necessary steps (a) to obtain and keep effective any and all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities and to make filings under federal and state securities acts and laws, which may be or become requisite in connection with the issuance, sale, transfer and delivery of the Warrant Certificates, the exercise of the Warrants and the issuance, sale, transfer and delivery of the Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants, and (b) to have the shares of Stock immediately upon their issuance upon exercise of Warrants, (i) listed on each national securities exchange on which the Preferred Stock is then listed or (ii) if the Preferred Stock is not then listed on any national securities exchange, listed for quotation on the NASD Automated Quotations System ("Nasdaq") 10

National Market ("Nasdaq National Market") or such other over-the-counter quotation system on which the Stock may then be listed. Section 3.8 Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares Purchasable or Number of Warrants. The Exercise Price, the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of the events enumerated in this Section 3.8. (a) If the Company shall (i) pay a dividend on its capital stock (including Preferred Stock in shares of Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into smaller number of shares of Preferred Stock or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Preferred Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the holder of each Warrant shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Shares or other securities of the Company which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above, had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. (b) In the event of any capital reorganization or any reclassification of the Preferred Stock (except as provided in paragraph (a) above or paragraph (h) below), any holder of Warrants upon exercise thereof shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Preferred Stock to 11

which he or she would have become entitled upon exercise immediately prior to such reorganization or reclassification, the shares (of any class or classes) or other securities or property of the Company that he or she would have been entitled to receive at the same aggregate Exercise Price upon such reorganization or reclassification if his or her Warrants had been exercised immediately prior thereto; and in any such case, appropriate provision (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be evidenced by a resolution filed with the Warrant Agent) shall be made for the application of this Section 3.8 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of Warrants (including the allocation of the adjusted Warrant Price between or among shares of classes of capital stock), to the end that this Section 3.8 (including the adjustments of the number of shares of Preferred Stock or other securities purchasable and the Warrant Price thereof) shall thereafter be reflected, as nearly as reasonably practicable, in all subsequent exercises of the Warrants for any shares or securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of the Warrants. (c) Except for adjustments required by paragraph (h) hereof, no adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%)in the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations shall be made to the nearest cent and to the nearest one- hundredth of a Share, as the case may be. (d) Whenever the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted as herein provided (whether or not the Company then or thereafter elects to 12

issue additional Warrants in substitution for an adjustment in the number of Shares as provided in paragraph (f), the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and of which the denominator shall be the number of Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter. (e) For the purpose of this Section 3.8, the term "shares of Stock" shall mean (i) the class of stock designated as the Preferred Stock of the Company at the date of this Agreement, or (ii) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassification of such shares consisting solely of changes in par value, of from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. If at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, the holders of Warrants shall become entitled to purchase any shares of the Company other than shares of Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant and the Exercise Price of such shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Shares contained in paragraphs (a) through (d), inclusive, above, and the provisions of Section 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.6, 3.7(a) and 3.10, with respect to the Shares, shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. (f) The Company may elect, on or after the date of any adjustment required by paragraphs (a) through (b) of this Section 3.8, to adjust the number of Warrants in substitution for an adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant. Each of the Warrants outstanding after such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall be exercisable for the same number of shares as immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Warrant held of 13

record prior to such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall become that number of Warrants (calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained by dividing the Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price by the Warrant Price in effect after adjustment of the Warrant Price. The Company shall notify the holders of Warrants in the same manner as provided in the first paragraph of Section 3.10, of its election to adjust the number of Warrants, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the Exercise Price is adjusted or any day thereafter. Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrants pursuant to this paragraph (f) the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record of Warrants on such record date Warrant Certificates evidencing, subject to Section 3.9, the additional Warrants to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed to such holders of record in substitution and replacement for the Warrant Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company, new Warrant Certificates evidencing all the Warrants to be issued, executed and registered in the manner specified in Section 1.3 and Article 4 (and which may bear, at the option of the Company, the adjusted Exercise Price) and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record of Warrant Certificates on the record date specified in the notice. (g) Except as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.8, no adjustment in respect of any dividends shall be made during the term of a Warrant or upon the exercise of a Warrant. (h) In case of any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another corporation or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of 14

the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrant Agent an agreement that each holder of a Warrant shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase upon exercise of each Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which he or she would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action. The Company shall mail by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each holder of a Warrant, notice of the execution of any such agreement. Such agreement shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 3.8. The provisions of this paragraph (h) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances. The Warrant Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility to determine the correctness or any provisions contained in any such agreement relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon exercise of Warrants or with respect to the method employed and provided therein for any adjustments and shall be entitled to rely upon the provisions contained in any such agreement. (i) Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement. 15

Section 3.9 Fractional Warrants and Fractional Shares. (a) The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrants on any distribution of Warrants to holders of Warrant Certificates or to distribute Warrant Certificates that evidence fractional Warrants. In lieu of such fractional Warrants, there shall be paid to the registered holder of the Warrant Certificates with regard to which such fractional Warrants would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a full Warrant. For purposes of this Section 3.9, the current market value of a Warrant shall be the closing price of one Warrant (as determined pursuant to paragraph (c) below) for the trading day immediately prior to the date on which such fractional Warrant would have been otherwise issuable. (b) Notwithstanding any adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.9 in the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Shares upon exercise of the Warrants or to distribute certificates which evidence fractional Shares. In lieu of fractional Shares, there shall be paid to the registered holders of Warrant Certificates at the time such Warrant Certificates are exercised as herein provided an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a share of Preferred Stock. For purposes of this Section 3.9, the current market value of a share of Preferred Stock shall be the closing price of a share of Preferred Stock (as determined pursuant to paragraph (c) below) for the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise. (c) The closing price for each day shall be the last sale price, regular way, or, if no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, for such day, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting 16

system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Warrants or Stock, as the case may be, is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, as reported on the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Warrants or Preferred Stock, respectively, is listed or admitted to trading, or if the Warrants or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, as reported on Nasdaq National Market or, if the Warrants or Stock, as the case may be, is not listed or admitted to trading on the Nasdaq National Market, as reported on Nasdaq. Section 3.10 Notices to Warrantholders. Upon any adjustment of the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant, the Warrant Price or the number of Warrants outstanding, the Company within 20 calendar days thereafter shall (i) cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company (who may be the regular auditors of the Company) setting forth the Warrant Price and either the number of Shares purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant or the additional number of Warrants to be issued for each previously outstanding Warrant, as the case may be, after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such adjustment was made, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of the matters set forth therein, and (ii) cause to be given to each of the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates at such holder's address appearing on the Warrant Register written notice of such adjustments by first class mail, postage prepaid. Where appropriate, such notice may be given in advance and included as part of the notice required to be mailed under the other provisions of this Section 3.10. 17

The Company shall cause written notice of any later Distribution Date, any later Expiration Date, any Call Price, Call Date and Call Terms and any Reduced Exercise Price and Reduced Exercise Price Period, as the case may be, to be given as soon as practicable to the Warrant Agent and to each of the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates by first class mail, postage prepaid, at such holder's address appearing on the Warrant Register. In addition to the written notice referred to in the preceding sentence, the Company shall make a public announcement in a daily morning newspaper of general circulation in New York City of such earlier Distribution Date, such later Expiration Date, such Call Price, Call Date and Call Terms and such Reduced Exercise Price and Reduced Exercise Price Period, as the case may be, at least once prior to the implementation of such terms. If: (a) the Company shall declare any dividend payable in any securities upon its shares of Preferred Stock or make any distribution (other than a cash dividend) to the holders of is shares of Preferred Stock, or (b) the Company shall offer to the holders of its shares of Preferred Stock any additional shares of Preferred Stock or securities convertible into shares of Preferred Stock or any right to subscribe thereto, or (c) there shall be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of its property, assets and business as an entirety), 18

the Company shall cause written notice of such event to be filed with the Warrant Agent and shall cause written notice of such event to be given to each of the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates as such holder's address appearing on the Warrant Register, by first class mail, postage prepaid, and make a public announcement in a daily newspaper of general circulation in New York City of such event, such giving of notice and publication to be completed at least 10 calendar days (or 20 calendar days in any case specified in clause (c) above) prior to the date fixed as a record date or the date of closing the transfer books for the determination of the stockholders entitled to such dividend, distribution or subscription rights, or for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such proposed dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Such notice shall specify such record date or the date of closing the transfer books, as the case may be. The failure to give the notice required by this Section 3.10 or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, warrant, dissolution, liquidation or winding up or the vote upon or any other action taken in connection therewith. ARTICLE 4 EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF WARRANT CERTIFICATES Section 4.1 Exchange and Transfer. Upon surrender at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent, Warrant Certificates evidencing Warrants may be exchanged for Warrant Certificates in other denominations evidencing such Warrants and the transfer of Warrants may be registered in whole or in part; provided that such other Warrant Certificates shall evidence the same aggregate number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for exchange or 19

registration of transfer. The Warrant Agent shall keep, at its corporate trust office, books in which it shall register Warrant Certificates and exchanges and transfers of outstanding Warrant Certificates, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificates to the Warrant Agent at its corporate trust office for exchange or registration of transfer, properly completed and duly endorsed and duly signed by the registered holder or holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney, such signature to be guaranteed (under the Medallion Program) by (a) a bank or trust company, (b) a broker or dealer that is a member of the Nasdaq or (c) a member of a national securities exchange and accompanied by appropriate instruments of registration of transfer and written instructions for transfer, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange or registration of transfer. Whenever any Warrant Certificates are surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, an authorized officer of the Warrant Agent shall mutually countersign and deliver to the person or persons entitled thereto a Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificate duly authorized and executed by the Company, as so requested. The Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any exchange or registration of transfer that will result in the issuance of a Warrant Certificate evidencing a fraction of a Warrant or a number of full Warrants and a fraction of a Warrant. All Warrant Certificates issued upon any exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrant Certificates surrendered for such exchange or registration of transfer. 20

Section 4.2 Treatment of Holders of Warrant Certificates. Every holder of a Warrant Certificate, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the Company, the Warrant Agent and with every subsequent holder of such Warrant Certificate that, until the transfer of the Warrant Certificate is registered on the books of the Warrant Agent, the Company and the Warrant Agent may treat the registered holder as the absolute owner thereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by the Warrants evidenced thereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding.

Upon such waiver, any 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 Guarantee Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. (b) The right of any Holder of Preferred Stock to receive payment of the Guarantee Payments in accordance with this Guarantee Agreement, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, shall not be impaired without the consent of each such Holder. ARTICLE III GUARANTEE SECTION 3.1 Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder the due and punctual payment of the Redemption Price or Liquidation Distribution, as applicable, (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid by the Issuer) when and as the same shall become due and payable, according to the terms of the Preferred Stock, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, regardless of any defense, right of set-off or counterclaim which the Issuer may 3

have or assert. In case of the failure of the Issuer or any successor thereto punctually to pay any such Redemption Price or Liquidation Distribution, as applicable, the Guarantor hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, as if such payment were made by the Issuer. The Guarantor's obligation to make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by direct payment of the required amounts by the Guarantor to the Holders or by payment by the Issuer of such amounts to the Holders. SECTION 3.2 Waiver of Notice. The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guarantee Agreement and of any liability to which it applies or may apply, presentment, demand for payment, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer or any other Person before proceeding against the Guarantor, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of redemption and all other notices and demands. SECTION 3.3 Obligations Not Affected. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guarantee Agreement shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the identity of the Company, the validity, regularity or enforceability of any Preferred Stock, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Holder of any shares of Preferred Stock with respect to any terms thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer or any action to enforce the same, or any circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Preferred Stock and that the Guarantor shall be liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this Guarantee Agreement notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in this Section 3.3. SECTION 3.4 Enforcement of Guarantee. Any Holder of Preferred Stock may institute a legal proceeding directly against the Guarantor to enforce its rights under this Guarantee Agreement, without first instituting a legal proceeding against the Issuer or any other Person. SECTION 3.5 Guarantee of Payment. This Guarantee Agreement creates a guarantee of payment and not merely of collection. This Guarantee Agreement will not be discharged except by payment of the: (i) Redemption Price or Liquidation Amount, as applicable, in full by the Issuer, or (ii) Guarantee Payments in full (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid by the Issuer) by the Guarantor. 4

SECTION 3.6 Subrogation. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights of the Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor to the Holders by the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this Guarantee Agreement, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Guarantee Agreement. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay over such amount to the Holders. SECTION 3.7 Reinstatement of Obligations. If any Holder of Preferred Stock is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or the Guarantor, or any custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or the Guarantor, any amount paid to such Holder in respect of such Preferred Stock, the guarantee issued under this Guarantee Agreement, to the extend theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. SECTION 3.8 Limitation of Guarantor's Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Preferred Stock each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that in no event shall any obligations of the Guarantor under the Preferred Stock Guarantees constitute or result in a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of, or result in a violation of, any Unites States federal, or applicable United States state, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, in the event that the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement, would, but for this sentence, constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation, then the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation under the applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law. SECTION 3.9 Form of Guarantee. The Guarantees to be endorsed upon the Preferred Stock shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other variations as are required or permitted hereby, and may include such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and legends as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Guarantees, as evidenced by their execution of such Guarantees. The definitive Guarantees to be endorsed upon the Preferred Stock shall be printed, 5

lithographed or engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner provided that such manner is permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Preferred Stock may be listed, all as determined by the officers executing the Guarantees, as evidenced by their execution of such Guarantees. ARTICLE IV LIMITATION OF TRANSACTIONS; SUBORDINATION SECTION 4.1 Limitation of Transactions. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Guarantor will not declare or pay dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or liquidation payment with respect to, any of its common stock or preferred stock or make any guarantee payment with respect thereto if at such time the Guarantor shall be in default with respect to its Guarantee Payments or other payment obligations hereunder; provided that (a) the Guarantor will be permitted to pay accrued dividends (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) upon the conversion of any preferred stock of the Guarantor as may be outstanding from time to time, in each case in accordance with the terms of such stock and (b) the foregoing will not apply to any stock dividends paid by the Guarantor. SECTION 4.2 Subordination. This Guarantee Agreement will constitute an unsecured obligation of the Guarantor and will rank (i) subordinate and junior in right of payment to all other liabilities of the Guarantor, except those made pari passu or subordinate by their terms, and (ii) senior to all capital stock now or hereafter issued by the Guarantor and to any guarantee now or hereafter entered into by the Guarantor in respect of any of its capital stock. The Guarantor's obligations under this Guarantee Agreement will rank pari passu with respect to obligations under other guarantee agreements which it may enter into from time to time to the extent that such agreements shall be entered into in substantially the form hereof and provide for comparable guarantees by the Guarantor of payment on preferred stock issued by Viacom or any of its Affiliates. ARTICLE V TERMINATION SECTION 5.1 Termination. This Guarantee Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon full payment of the Redemption Price of all Preferred stock, or upon the distribution of Common 6

Stock in exchange for all of the Preferred Stock, or upon full payment of the amounts payable in accordance with the Certificate of Designation upon liquidation of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee Agreement will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any Holder must restore payment of any sums paid with respect to the Preferred Stock or this Guarantee Agreement. ARTICLE VI MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 6.1 Successors and Assigns. All guarantees and agreements contained in this Guarantee Agreement shall bind the successors, assignees, receivers, trustees and representatives of the Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Holders of shares of the Preferred Stock then outstanding. Except in connection with a consolidation, merger or sale involving the Guarantor in which the resulting entity agrees in writing to be legally responsible for the guarantees issued under this Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantor shall not assign its obligations hereunder. SECTION 6.2 Amendments. Except with respect to any changes which do not adversely affect the rights of Holders (in which case no consent of Holders will be required), this Guarantee Agreement may only be amended with the prior approval of the Holders of not less than 66-2/3% of the Preferred Stock. The provisions of the Certificate of Designation concerning meetings of Holders shall apply to the giving of such approval. SECTION 6.3 Notices.

                    -----------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

              We have acted as counsel for Viacom Inc. (the "Company") and

Regulations of the Commission promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as

an aggregate offering price of up to $5,000,000,000 or the equivalent thereof in
one or more foreign currencies: (i) senior debt securities, including the
