ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

      This prospectus is part of a registration statement that Old National Bancorp and ONB Capital Trust III, ONB Capital Trust IV, ONB Capital Trust V and ONB Capital Trust VI filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $750,000,000. Each of ONB Capital Trust III, ONB Capital Trust IV, ONB Capital Trust V and ONB Capital Trust VI is referred to in this prospectus as an “ONB Trust” and are collectively referred to as the ONB Trusts.

      This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we and the ONB Trusts may issue. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. Such prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in the prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement. You should read this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

      The registration statement that contains this prospectus, including the exhibits to the registration statement, contains additional information about us and the ONB Trusts and the securities offered under this prospectus. You can find the registration statement at the web site maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the “SEC,” at http://www.sec.gov or at the SEC office mentioned under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

      When we refer to “Old National,” “we,” “our” or “us” in this prospectus under the headings “Old National Bancorp” and “Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges and Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Combined Fixed Charges and Preferred Stock Dividends,” we mean Old National Bancorp and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise. When we refer to “we,” “our” or “us” in this prospectus in this section or under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information,” we mean each of Old National and the ONB Trusts, as applicable. When such terms are used elsewhere in this prospectus, we refer only to Old National Bancorp unless the context indicates otherwise.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

      Old National files annual, quarterly and current reports and proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Old National’s SEC filings are available at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. You may also read and copy any document Old National files at the SEC’s public reference room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for more information on the SEC’s public reference room. You may also inspect Old National’s reports at the New York Stock Exchange, 20 Broad Street, New York, New York 10005.

      For further information about us and the securities we are offering, you should refer to our registration statement and its exhibits. This prospectus summarizes material provisions of contracts and other documents that we refer you to. Since the prospectus may not contain all the information that you may find important, you should review the full text of these documents.

      We “incorporate by reference” into this prospectus the information Old National files with the SEC, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is an important part of this prospectus. Some information contained in this prospectus updates the information incorporated by reference, and information that Old National files subsequently with the SEC will automatically update this prospectus. In other words, in the case of a conflict or inconsistency between information set forth in this prospectus and/or information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, you should rely on the information contained in the document that was filed later. We incorporate by reference the following documents (excluding any portions of such documents that

have been “furnished” but not “filed” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the “Exchange Act”):

  •  Old National’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2004, June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004;

  •  The description of Old National’s common stock contained in the registration statement on Form 8-A filed pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act on February 7, 2002, including any amendment or report filed with the SEC for the purpose of updating this description; and
 
  •  The description of Old National’s Preferred Stock Purchase Rights contained in the registration statements on Form 8-A, filed pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act on March 1, 1990 and March 1, 2000, respectively, including the Rights Agreement, dated March 1, 1990, as amended on February 29, 2000, between Old National Bancorp and Old National Bank, as Trustee.

      We also incorporate by reference reports Old National files in the future under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act (excluding any portions of any such documents that are “furnished” but not “filed” for purposes of the Exchange Act), including reports filed after the date of the initial filing of the registration statement and before the effectiveness of the registration statement, until we sell all of the securities offered by this prospectus or terminate this offering.

      You may request a copy of any of the documents referred to above, other than an exhibit to a filing unless that exhibit is specifically incorporated by reference into that filing, at no cost, by contacting Old National in writing or by telephone at:

      You should rely only on the information incorporated by reference or presented in this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement. Neither we, nor any underwriters or agents, have authorized anyone else to provide you with different information. We may only use this prospectus to sell securities if it is accompanied by a prospectus supplement. We are only offering these securities in states where the offer is permitted.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      The following is a cautionary note about forward-looking statements. This prospectus (including any information we include or incorporate into this prospectus and in an accompanying prospectus supplement) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements can include statements about estimated cost savings, plans and objectives for future operations, and expectations about performance as well as economic and market conditions and trends. They often can be identified by the use of words like “expect,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe” or “anticipate.” We may include forward-looking statements in filings with the SEC, such as this prospectus, in other written materials, and in oral statements made by our senior management to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. It is intended that these forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. By their nature, forward-

2


Table of Contents

looking statements are based on assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statement.

      Uncertainties which could affect our future performance include, but are not limited to:

  •  economic, market, operational, liquidity, credit and interest rate risks associated with our business;
 
  •  economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry;
 
  •  increased competition in the financial services industry either nationally or regionally, resulting in, among other things, credit quality deterioration;
 
  •  volatility and direction of market interest rates;
 
  •  governmental legislation and regulation, including changes in accounting regulation or standards;
 
  •  our ability to execute our business plan;
 
  •  a weakening of the economy which could materially impact credit quality trends and the ability to generate loans;
 
  •  changes in the securities markets; and
 
  •  changes in fiscal, monetary and tax policies.

      Investors should consider these risks, uncertainties and other factors when considering any forward-looking statement.

OLD NATIONAL BANCORP

      We are a financial holding company that operates banking offices in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee through our bank subsidiary, Old National Bank. The bank provides a wide range of banking services, including commercial, consumer and real estate loans, deposit products, lease financing and other traditional banking services. We also own financial services companies that provide financial services to supplement our banking operations, including fiduciary and trust services, investment and securities brokerage services, asset management and insurance and other financial services.

      We were incorporated in 1982 in the State of Indiana as the holding company of Old National Bank in Evansville, Indiana. Old National Bank has provided banking services since 1834. Since our formation in 1982, we have acquired more than 40 financial institutions and financial services companies. In the future, Old National will continue to pursue opportunities to acquire both financial institutions and financial services companies, focusing on the following objectives:

  •  to acquire financial institutions in the Midwestern and South-central regions of the United States, generally with assets in the range of $200 million to $3 billion; and
 
  •  to acquire financial services companies located in, but not limited to, the same geographic markets that provide products and services consistent with and complementary to those products and services offered by us and our affiliates.

      As with previous acquisitions, the consideration paid by us will be in the form of cash, debt or our common stock. The amount and structure of such consideration is based on reasonable growth and cost savings assumptions and a thorough analysis of the impact on both long and short term financial results.

      As a legal entity separate and distinct from our financial institution and financial services subsidiaries, our principal sources of revenues are dividends and fees from our financial institution and financial service company subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries that operate in the banking, insurance and securities business can pay dividends only if they are in compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements imposed on them by federal and state regulatory authorities. Our principal executive offices are located at One Main Street, Evansville, Indiana 47708, and our telephone number at that address is (812) 464-1434.

THE ONB TRUSTS

      Each ONB Trust is a statutory trust that Old National has formed under Delaware law. For each ONB Trust there is a trust agreement signed by Old National as depositor, by J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (as successor, in the case of ONB Trust III and ONB Trust IV, to Bank One Trust Company, NA), as property trustee, and by Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association (as successor, in the case of ONB Trust III and ONB Trust IV, to Bank One Delaware, Inc.), as Delaware trustee. For each ONB Trust there is also a certificate of trust filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. When Old National is ready to issue and sell securities through an ONB Trust, the trust agreement relating to the applicable ONB Trust will be amended to read substantially like the form of amended and restated trust agreement that is filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each trust agreement will be qualified as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

The Issuance and Sale of the Capital Securities and Common Securities

      Old National has created each ONB Trust solely to:

  •  issue and sell its capital securities and common securities, which represent undivided beneficial ownership interests in that ONB Trust and its assets;
 
  •  use the proceeds from the sale of the capital securities and common securities to buy from Old National a series of Old National’s junior subordinated debentures, which will be the only assets of that ONB Trust;
 
  •  maintain its status as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes; and
 
  •  engage in only those other activities necessary or incidental to accomplish the purposes listed above.

      Because the only assets of each ONB Trust will be junior subordinated debentures that Old National issues to it, Old National’s payments on the junior subordinated debentures will be the only source of funds to be paid to purchasers or owners of the capital securities and common securities. Each of the ONB Trusts is a separate legal entity, so the assets of one will not be available to satisfy the obligations of any other similar trust Old National now, or in the future, may create.

      Old National will acquire and own all of the common securities of each ONB Trust and the remaining ownership interests in the applicable ONB Trust will be the capital securities of the ONB Trust that may be sold to the public. The common securities and the capital securities will have substantially the same terms, including the same priority of payment and liquidation amount, and will receive proportionate payments from the ONB Trust in respect of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise at the same times. However, if Old National defaults on the junior subordinated debentures that it issues to that ONB Trust and does not cure the default within the times specified in the indenture governing the issuance of the junior subordinated debentures, Old National’s rights to payments as holder of the common securities will be subordinated to the rights of the holders of the capital securities. See “Description of Capital Securities — Subordination of Common Securities.”

      Unless Old National indicates otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, each ONB Trust will have a term of approximately 50 years. However, an ONB Trust may terminate earlier as provided in the applicable trust agreement and the prospectus supplement.

      Each ONB Trust’s business and affairs will be conducted by its trustees, whom Old National, as holder of the common securities, will appoint. The trustees for each ONB Trust will be:

  •  J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as the property trustee, unless another property trustee is specified in the applicable prospectus supplement; and
 
  •  Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National Association, as the Delaware trustee, unless another Delaware trustee is specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Table of Contents

      In addition, two or more individuals who are employees or officers of, or who are affiliated with, Old National will act as administrators of each ONB Trust.

      Old National refers to the property trustee and the Delaware trustee together as the “issuer trustees.” The property trustee will act as sole indenture trustee under each trust agreement for purposes of compliance with the Trust Indenture Act. Unless Old National indicates otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association will also act as trustee under the junior subordinated debenture indenture and as trustee under Old National’s guarantee agreement relating to the capital securities. See “Description of Junior Subordinated Debentures” and “Description of Guarantees.”

      As the holder of the common securities of each ONB Trust, Old National will ordinarily have the right to appoint, remove or replace either issuer trustee for each ONB Trust. However, if an event of default with respect to the corresponding junior subordinated debentures issued to that ONB Trust has occurred and is continuing, then the holders of a majority in liquidation amount of that ONB Trust’s outstanding capital securities will be entitled to appoint, remove or replace either or both issuer trustees. In no event will the holders of the capital securities have the right to vote to appoint, remove or replace the administrators. Old National retains that right exclusively as the holder of the common securities. The duties and obligations of each issuer trustee are governed by the applicable trust agreement.

      Pursuant to the indenture and the trust agreements, Old National promises to pay all fees and expenses related to each ONB Trust and the offering of the capital securities and will pay, directly or indirectly, all ongoing costs, expenses and liabilities of each ONB Trust, except obligations under the capital securities and the common securities.

      The ONB Trusts have no separate financial statements. Separate financial statements would not be material to holders of the capital securities because the ONB Trusts have no independent operations. They exist solely for the limited functions summarized above. Old National will guarantee the capital securities as described later in this prospectus.

      The principal executive office of each ONB Trust is c/o Old National Bancorp, One Main Street, Evansville, Indiana 47708, and its telephone number is (812) 464-1434.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

      As a registered bank holding company and financial holding company, we are subject to inspection, examination and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. As a national bank, our bank subsidiary, Old National Bank, is subject to extensive supervision, examination and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Because we are a holding company, our rights and the rights of our creditors and securityholders, including the holders of the securities we are offering under this prospectus, to participate in the assets of any of our subsidiaries upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors, except to the extent that we may ourselves be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. In addition, there are various statutory and regulatory limitations on the extent to which our bank subsidiary, Old National Bank, can finance or otherwise transfer funds to us or to our nonbank subsidiaries, whether in the form of loans, extensions of credit, investments or asset purchases. Those transfers by Old National Bank to us or any nonbanking subsidiary are limited in amount to 10% of Old National Bank’s capital and surplus and, with respect to us and all such nonbank subsidiaries, to an aggregate of 20% of Old National Bank’s capital and surplus. Furthermore, loans and extensions of credit are required to be secured in specified amounts and are required to be on terms and conditions consistent with safe and sound banking practices.

      In additions, there are regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends directly or indirectly to us from Old National Bank. Under applicable banking statutes, at September 30, 2004, Old National Bank could have declared additional dividends of approximately $54.6 million without prior regulatory approval. Federal regulatory agencies also have the authority to further limit Old National Bank’s payment of dividends based on other factors, such as maintenance of adequate capital of Old National Bank.

Table of Contents

      Under the policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, we are expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to Old National Bank and to commit resources to support Old National Bank in circumstances where we might not do so absent such a policy. In addition, subordinated loans by us to Old National Bank would be subordinate in right of payment to depositors and other creditors of Old National Bank. Further, in the event of our bankruptcy, any commitment by us to our regulators to maintain the capital of Old National Bank would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority of payment.

      For a discussion of the material elements of the regulatory framework applicable to bank holding companies, financial holding companies and their subsidiaries, and specific information relevant to us, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and any subsequent reports filed by us with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This regulatory framework is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the deposit insurance funds that insure deposits of banks, rather than for the protection of security holders. A change in the statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to us or our subsidiaries may have a material effect on our business.

USE OF PROCEEDS

      Unless we indicate otherwise in an applicable prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the offered securities will be added to our general funds and may be used for:

  •  debt reduction or debt refinancing, including the refinancing of our outstanding capital securities;
 
  •  investments in or advances to subsidiaries;
 
  •  acquisitions of bank and non-bank subsidiaries;
 
  •  repurchase of shares of our common stock or other securities; and
 
  •  other general corporate purposes.

Until the net proceeds have been used, they may be temporarily invested in securities or held in deposits of our affiliated banks.

      Each ONB Trust will use the proceeds from the sale of its capital securities and its common securities to acquire junior subordinated debentures from us.

CONSOLIDATED RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

AND CONSOLIDATED RATIO OF EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES
AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS

      The following table sets forth our consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges and our consolidated ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends on a historical basis for the periods indicated. For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings represent income before taxes and fixed charges. Fixed charges, excluding interest on deposits, consist of interest expense, excluding interest on deposits, and one-third of rental expense for all operating leases, which we believe to be representative of the interest portion of rent expense. Fixed charges, including interest on deposits, consist of interest expense, one third of rental expense and interest on deposits. The term “preferred stock dividends” is the amount of pre-tax earnings that is required to pay dividends on Old National’s outstanding preferred stock. As of the date of this prospectus, we had no preferred stock outstanding.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

      The debt securities will be direct unsecured general obligations of Old National and will be either senior or subordinated debt. The debt securities will be issued under separate indentures between Old National and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (as successor, in the case of the senior indenture, to Bank One, NA), as trustee. Senior debt securities will be issued under a senior debt indenture and subordinated debt securities will be issued under a subordinated debt indenture. The senior debt indenture and the subordinated debt indenture are sometimes referred to in this prospectus individually as an “indenture” and collectively as the “indentures.” The senior debt indenture and form of subordinated debt indenture have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

      The following briefly summarizes the material provisions of the indentures and the debt securities. The summary is not complete. You should read the more detailed provisions of the applicable indenture for provisions that may be important to you. So that you can easily locate these provisions, the numbers in parenthesis below refer to sections in the applicable indenture or, if no indenture is specified, to sections in each of the indentures. Whenever particular sections or defined terms of the applicable indenture are referred to, such sections or defined terms are incorporated into this prospectus by reference, and the statement in this prospectus is qualified by that reference.

General

      The debt securities may be issued in one or more series. The particular terms of each series of debt securities, as well as any modifications or additions to the general terms of the debt securities as described in this prospectus which may be applicable in the case of a particular series of debt securities, will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of debt securities. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular series of debt securities, reference must be made both to the prospectus supplement relating to that series and to the description of debt securities set forth in this prospectus.

Table of Contents

      The senior debt securities will be direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Old National. The subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and will be subordinated to all of Old National’s senior indebtedness as described below under “— Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities.” Because Old National is a holding company, the right of Old National, and therefore the right of creditors of Old National (including the holders of the debt securities), to participate in any distribution of the assets of any subsidiary of Old National upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of Old National itself as a creditor of the subsidiary may be recognized. As of September 30, 2004, Old National’s subsidiaries had outstanding approximately $7.9 billion of obligations, including approximately $6.4 billion of deposit liabilities, to which the debt securities would be effectively subordinate. In addition, as of September 30, 2004, Old National had outstanding approximately $115 million of indebtedness which would rank senior to the subordinated debt securities.

      The prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of debt securities being offered will specify whether they are senior or subordinated debt securities and the other terms of those debt securities, including, but not limited to, the following:

  •  the title of the debt securities and the series in which the debt securities will be included;
 
  •  any limit on the aggregate principal amount of that series of debt securities;
 
  •  whether the debt securities are to be issued initially or permanently in the form of a global debt security and, if so, the identity of the depositary for the global debt security;
 
  •  the date or dates on which the principal of the debt securities is payable or the manner in which those dates are determined;
 
  •  the rate or rates (which may be fixed or floating) or amount or amounts per annum at which the debt securities will bear interest, if any, or the method of determining the rates or amounts;
 
  •  the date from which interest, if any, on the debt securities will accrue, the dates on which interest, if any, will be payable, the record dates for interest payment dates, if any, and the basis upon which interest will be calculated if other than that of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30-day months;
 
  •  whether and under what circumstances additional amounts on the debt securities of that series will be payable and, if so, whether Old National has the option to redeem the affected debt securities rather than pay the additional amounts;
 
  •  the places of payment and the places where the debt securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange;
 
  •  whether the debt securities are redeemable at the option of Old National and, if so, the date or dates on which, the period or periods in which, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which the debt securities of that series may be redeemed, in whole or in part, by Old National;
 
  •  the terms of any mandatory or optional redemption (including any sinking fund provisions or any provisions for repayment at the option of a holder or upon the occurrence of a specified event);
 
  •  the denominations in which the debt securities of that series will be issued, if other than $1,000;
 
  •  if other than the full principal amount, the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities of that series that will be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity or the manner in which that portion will be determined;
 
  •  any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the events of default or covenants of Old National with respect to the debt securities of that series; and
 
  •  any other terms of the debt securities.

      Neither indenture limits the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that may be issued under it and each indenture provides that the debt securities may be issued under it from time to time in one or more

Table of Contents

series up to the aggregate principal amount which may be authorized from time to time by Old National. (Section 301) All debt securities issued under an indenture will rank equally and ratably with any other debt securities issued under that indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of debt securities, but Old National may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer of exchange. (Section 305)

      Some of the debt securities may be issued under an indenture as original issue discount securities to be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. Certain United States federal income tax consequences and other special considerations applicable to any original issue discount securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities.

      Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities, the principal of and any premium or interest on debt securities issued in certificated form will be payable, and, subject to certain limitations, the transfer of debt securities will be registrable, at the offices of the trustee designated for that purpose in Chicago, Illinois and The City of New York, provided that at the option of Old National, interest may be paid by check, wire transfer or any other means permitted in the form of those debt securities. Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, payment of any installment of interest on a debt security will be made to the person in whose name the debt security is registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest payment, provided that interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment will be payable to the person to whom principal is payable. In the case of global debt securities (which will be registered in the name of the depositary or its nominee), payment will be made to the depositary or its nominee in accordance with the then-existing arrangements between the paying agent(s) for the global debt securities and the depositary. (Sections 305, 307 and 1002)

      Neither indenture contains any provision that limits the ability of Old National to incur indebtedness (either directly or through merger or consolidation) or, except as described under “— Limitation on Liens” and “— Merger and Consolidation” in relation to senior debt securities, that would afford holders of debt securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged or similar transaction involving Old National. Reference is made to the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable series of debt securities for information with respect to any deletions from, modifications of or additions to, the events of default or covenants that may be included in the terms of that series of debt securities.

      Each indenture provides Old National with the ability to “reopen” a previously issued series of debt securities and to issue additional debt securities of that series.

Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities

      The subordinated indenture provides that the subordinated debt securities will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to all senior indebtedness of Old National. This means that no payment of principal, including redemption payments, premium, if any, or interest on the subordinated debt securities may be made if:

  •  any senior indebtedness of Old National has not been paid when due and any applicable grace period relating to such default has ended and such default has not been cured or waived or ceased to exist; or
 
  •  the maturity of any senior indebtedness of Old National has been accelerated because of a default.

      Upon any distribution of Old National’s assets to creditors upon any termination, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings, all principal, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due on all senior indebtedness of Old National must be paid in full before the holders of subordinated debt securities are entitled to receive or retain any payment. Subject to the payment in full of senior indebtedness of Old National then outstanding, the rights of the holders of the subordinated debt securities will be subrogated to the rights of the holders of senior indebtedness of Old National to receive payments or distributions applicable to senior indebtedness until all amounts owing on the subordinated debt securities are paid in full.

Table of Contents

      The term “senior indebtedness” means:

        (1) all indebtedness of Old National for borrowed or purchased money;
 
        (2) all obligations of Old National arising from off-balance sheet guarantees and direct credit substitutes;
 
        (3) all capital lease obligations of Old National;
 
        (4) all obligations of Old National issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property, all conditional sale obligations of Old National and all obligations of Old National under any conditional sale or title retention agreement, but excluding trade accounts payable arising in the ordinary course of business;
 
        (5) all obligations, contingent or otherwise, of Old National in respect of any letters of credit, banker’s acceptances, security purchase facilities or similar credit transactions;
 
        (6) all obligations of Old National associated with derivative products such as interest rate and foreign exchange contracts, commodity contracts and similar arrangements;
 
        (7) all obligations of the type referred to in clauses (1) through (6) above of other persons for the payment of which Old National is responsible or liable as obligor, guarantor or otherwise; and
 
        (8) all obligations of the type referred to in clauses (1) through (7) above of other persons secured by any lien on any property or asset of Old National, whether or not such obligation is assumed by Old National,

in each case, whether outstanding on the date the subordinated indenture became effective, or created, assumed or incurred after that date, except for:

        (a) the subordinated debt securities and any indebtedness or guarantee of Old National that by its terms ranks equally with, or junior to, the subordinated debt securities; and
 
        (b) any indebtedness between or among Old National and (i) any ONB Trust or a trustee of such ONB Trust or (ii) any other trust, or a trustee of such trust, partnership or other entity affiliated with Old National that is a financing vehicle of Old National in connection with the issuance by such financing vehicle of preferred securities or other securities guaranteed by Old National pursuant to an instrument that ranks equally with, or junior to, the guarantee.

      The subordinated indenture does not limit the issuance of additional senior indebtedness.

Limitation on Liens

      Under the senior indenture, we may not, and may not permit any subsidiary to, create or suffer to permit or exist any lien of any kind, as security for borrowed money so long as any of the senior debt securities are outstanding, upon the shares of capital stock of any significant subsidiary without effectively providing that the debt securities will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to the indebtedness or other obligations secured by such lien. (Section 1007 of the senior indenture) Under the senior indenture, a “significant subsidiary” is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Old National the total assets of which equal or exceed 25% of the total assets of Old National as shown on Old National’s consolidated balance sheet at the end of the fiscal quarter prior to the date of determination. The subordinated indenture does not contain any limitation on liens.

Limitation on Sale of Stock

      Under the senior indenture, we may not, and may not permit any significant subsidiary to, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, and will not permit any significant subsidiary to issue any capital stock of such significant subsidiary or securities convertible into, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or to

10


Table of Contents

purchase, any capital stock of any such significant subsidiary except with respect to sales of shares of capital stock of the significant subsidiary

  •  to an individual for the purpose of qualifying such individual to serve as a director of such significant subsidiary;
 
  •  for cash consideration that is at least equal to the fair market value of such stock if Old National will continue to own not less than 80% of each class of capital stock of such significant subsidiary;
 
  •  made in connection with a merger or consolidation if, after giving effect to such merger or consolidation, Old National’s or any such significant subsidiary’s proportionate ownership share in the resulting or surviving entity is not less than its proportionate ownership share in such significant subsidiary immediately prior to such merger or consolidation;
 
  •  made in compliance with a final order of a court or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction; or
 
  •  made by a significant subsidiary to us. (Section 1008 of the senior indenture)

      The subordinated indenture does not contain any limitation on the sale of stock of a significant subsidiary.

Events of Default, Notice and Waiver

      Senior Debt Securities. Each of the following constitutes an event of default with respect to each series of senior debt securities:

  •  default in the payment of any interest or additional amounts payable in respect of any senior debt security of that series when due and payable, and continuance of that default for a period of 30 days;
 
  •  default in the payment of the principal of and any premium on any senior debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, whether at stated maturity, upon redemption or repayment, by acceleration or otherwise;
 
  •  default in the making of any sinking fund payment on any senior debt security of that series;
 
  •  default in the performance or breach of any covenant or warranty of Old National contained in the senior indenture for the benefit of that series and the continuance of such default or breach for 90 days after written notice has been given to us as provided in the senior indenture;
 
  •  acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness of Old National for money borrowed in a principal amount in excess of $25 million if such acceleration is not annulled or such indebtedness is not discharged within 15 days after written notice to us as provided in the senior indenture;
 
  •  certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Old National; and
 
  •  any other event of default provided with respect to the senior debt securities of that series. (Section 501 of the senior indenture)

      Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of senior debt securities, if an event of default with respect to any senior debt securities of any series outstanding under the senior indenture occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the senior debt securities of that series outstanding may declare, by notice as provided in the senior indenture, the principal amount (or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the debt securities of that series) of all the senior debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately; provided, that in the case of an event of default involving certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, acceleration is automatic.

      Subordinated Debt Securities. An event of default under the subordinated indenture with respect to subordinated debt securities of any series will occur only upon the occurrence of certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving us. (Section 501 of the subordinated indenture) There will be no event of default, and holders of the subordinated debt securities will not be entitled to accelerate the maturity of

11


Table of Contents

the subordinated debt securities, in the case of a default in the performance of any covenant or obligation with respect to the subordinated debt securities, including a default in the payment of principal or interest.

      Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of subordinated debt securities, acceleration is automatic upon the occurrence of an event of default.

      Provisions Applicable to Senior Debt Securities and Subordinated Debt Securities. If all events of default with respect to debt securities of a series have been cured or waived, and all amounts due otherwise than on account of the acceleration is paid or deposited with the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series may rescind and annul an acceleration of the principal of those debt securities and its consequences. (Section 502)

      Any past default under either indenture with respect to debt securities of any series, and any event of default arising from it, may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series except in the case of

  •  default in payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or any additional amounts in respect of, any debt securities of that series or
 
  •  default in respect of a covenant or provision which may not be amended or modified without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected. (Section 513)

      The trustee is required to give notice of a default to holders of debt securities in accordance with the provisions of each indenture. However, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or additional amounts in respect of, any debt securities or in the payment of any sinking fund installment, the trustee will be protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of the notice is in the interests of the holders of the debt securities. (Section 602)

      The trustee, subject to its duties during a default to act with the required standard of care, may require indemnification by any of the holders of the debt securities of any series with respect to which a default has occurred before proceeding to exercise any right or power under either indenture at the request of holders of debt securities. (Sections 601 and 603) Subject to this right of indemnification and to the other limitations specified in each indenture, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may 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 debt securities. (Section 512)

      No holder of a debt security of any series may institute any action against us under either indenture (except actions for payment of overdue principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on and any additional amounts in respect of, that debt security) unless the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series then outstanding have requested the trustee to institute the action and offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with the request and the trustee has not instituted such action within 60 days of such request. (Sections 507 and 508)

      Upon acceleration of the maturity of original issue discount securities, an amount less than the principal amount of those securities will become due and payable. Reference is made to the prospectus supplement relating to any original issue discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of maturity.

Merger and Consolidation

      Pursuant to the terms of each of the indentures, we may consolidate with, merge with or into or sell or convey all or substantially all of our assets to any other corporation, association, company or business trust, provided that

        (a) (i) we are the surviving entity in the merger or

        (ii) the entity surviving the merger, formed by such consolidation or which acquires such assets is a corporation, association, company or business trust organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof and expressly assumes the payment obligations in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on, and any additional amounts in respect of, all the debt securities and the performance and observance of all of the covenants of the indenture and the debt securities to be performed or observed by Old National, and

        (b) Old National or such successor entity, as the case may be, will not immediately thereafter be in default in the performance or observance of any covenant under the indenture and the debt securities. (Section 801)

Modification and Waiver

      We and the trustee may modify or amend each of the indentures with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected thereby. However, no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby,

  •  change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any outstanding debt security;
 
  •  reduce the principal amount of, or the rate or amount of interest on, or any premium or additional amounts payable with respect to, any debt security;

  •  reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of any series necessary to modify or amend the indenture with respect to that series or reduce the percentage of outstanding debt securities of any series necessary to waive any past default or compliance with certain restrictive provisions to less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of that series, or reduce certain requirements of the indenture for quorum or voting;
 
  •  modify the provisions of the indenture relating to modification and waiver, except to increase the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the series whose consent is necessary for the modification or waiver or to provide that certain provisions of the indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of each holder of outstanding debt securities affected by the change; or
 
  •  in the case of the subordinated indenture, modify the provisions of the subordinated indenture with respect to the subordination provisions in a manner adverse to the holders of the subordinated debt securities.

  •  to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the indenture, provided such action does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities of any series in any material respect. (Section 901)

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive compliance by us of certain restrictive provisions applicable to such series. (Sections 902 and 1009)

Satisfaction and Discharge

      The senior indenture provides that we and the trustee, without the consent of any holder of outstanding senior debt securities, may execute a supplemental indenture to provide that we will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the senior debt securities of any series (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities, to maintain paying agencies and to hold moneys for payment in trust) upon the irrevocable deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money or government obligations, or a combination of money and government obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments or additional amounts in respect of the senior debt securities of that series on the dates those payments are due in accordance with the terms of the senior indenture and the senior debt securities of that series. We and the trustee may execute this supplemental indenture only if the applicable conditions set forth

14


Table of Contents

in the senior indenture have been satisfied, including that we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that Old National has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case, to the effect that such a discharge will not cause the holders of the debt securities of that series to recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. (Section 901 of the senior indenture)

      In addition, each indenture provides that, when the applicable conditions set forth in the indenture have been satisfied with respect to a series of debt securities, upon the request of Old National, the indenture will cease to be of further effect with respect to that series, except as to any surviving right of registration of transfer or exchange of debt securities. These conditions include that

  •  all debt securities of the series either have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation or will be due, or are to be called for redemption, within one year, and
 
  •  with respect to all debt securities of that series not previously delivered to the trustee for cancellation, there have been irrevocably deposited with the trustee, in trust, money or government obligations, or a combination of money and government obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, and any premium and interest on and any additional amounts on, all the debt securities of that series on the dates those payments are due in accordance with the terms of the indenture and the debt securities of that series. (Section 401)

Defeasance of Certain Obligations

      The senior indenture provides that we will have the option to omit to comply with the covenants described under “— Limitations on Liens” above, if applicable, and any additional covenants applicable to that series of senior debt securities to which this option would apply. In order to exercise this option, we will be required to irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, money or government obligations, or a combination of money and government obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, any premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments or any additional amounts in respect of the senior debt securities of that series on the dates those payments are due in accordance with the terms of the senior indenture and the senior debt securities of that series. We will also be required to meet the applicable conditions set forth in the indenture including that we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the deposit and related covenant defeasance will not cause the holders of the debt securities of that series to recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. (Section 1010 of the senior indenture)

Governing Law

      The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Indiana.

The Trustee Under the Indenture

      We and our affiliates maintain banking relationships with J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association and its affiliates in the ordinary course of our business. In addition, J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association will act as property trustee under the trust agreements relating to the ONB Trusts and will also act as guarantee trustee under the guarantee agreements relating to the capital securities that the ONB Trusts may issue.

      The Trust Indenture Act contains limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become a creditor of ours, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The trustee is permitted to act as trustee under our other indentures, trust agreements and guarantee agreements and to engage in other transactions with us and our subsidiaries from time to time, provided that if the trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict upon the occurrence of an event of default under the indenture or resign.

15


Table of Contents

      Each indenture provides that we may appoint an alternative trustee with respect to any particular series of debt securities. Any appointment will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of debt securities.

      The trustee, prior to a default, undertakes to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture and, after default, is required to exercise the same degree of care as a prudent individual would exercise in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by either indenture at the request of any holder of debt securities, unless offered reasonable indemnity by such holder against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred. The trustee is not required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties if the trustee reasonably believes that repayment or adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it. Each indenture contains other provisions limiting the responsibilities and liabilities of the trustee. (Sections 601 and 603)

DESCRIPTION OF JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

      This section describes the general terms and provisions of our junior subordinated debentures that we may issue. Our senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities are described under “Description of Debt Securities.” The junior subordinated debentures will be issued under a junior subordinated indenture, which is sometimes referred to in this section as the “indenture,” between us and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as the junior subordinated indenture trustee, which we sometimes refer to in the section as the “trustee.” The junior subordinated debentures will be issued in one or more series under the indenture. The applicable prospectus supplement relating to a series of junior subordinated debentures will specify whether the junior subordinated debentures of that series will be issued to an ONB Trust.

      We have summarized selected provisions of the indenture below, including some provisions applicable to junior subordinated debentures that will be held by an ONB Trust. The summary is not complete. The indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read the indenture for provisions that may be important to you. In the summary below, we have included references to section numbers in the indenture so that you can easily find those provisions. The particular terms of a series of junior subordinated debentures will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the junior subordinated debentures of that series, along with any applicable modifications of or additions to the general terms of the junior subordinated debentures described below and in the applicable indenture. For a description of the terms of any series of junior subordinated debentures, you should review both the prospectus supplement and the description of the junior subordinated debentures set forth in this prospectus.

      The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that Old National can issue under the indenture, restrict the total amount of debt that Old National or its subsidiaries may incur or contain any covenant or other provision that is specifically intended to afford any holder of the junior subordinated debentures special protection in the event of highly leveraged transactions or any other transactions resulting in a decline in Old National’s ratings or credit quality.

      The junior subordinated debentures will be unsecured and will be subordinated to all of Old National’s senior debt as described under “— Subordination.” As of September 30, 2004, Old National had approximately $115 million of indebtedness which would rank senior to the junior subordinated debentures. Because Old National is a holding company, the right of Old National, and therefore the right of creditors of Old National (including the holders of the junior subordinated debentures), to participate in any distribution of the assets of any subsidiary of Old National upon its liquidation or reorganization or otherwise is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of Old National itself as a creditor of the subsidiary may be recognized. As of September 30, 2004, Old National’s subsidiaries had outstanding approximately $7.9 billion of obligations, including approximately $6.4 billion of deposit liabilities, to which the junior subordinated debentures would be effectively subordinate. In addition, we currently have outstanding two series of junior subordinated debt securities (which were issued, respectively, to ONB Capital Trust I and ONB Capital Trust II pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 14, 2000,

16


Table of Contents

between us and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (as successor to Bank One Trust Company, NA)) with terms and conditions similar to the terms and conditions of the junior subordinated debentures described in this prospectus. There is currently $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such junior subordinated debt securities outstanding.

General

      The junior subordinated debentures that Old National issues may be issued in one or more series under the indenture. If the junior subordinated debentures of a series are issued to an ONB Trust, such junior subordinated debentures will have terms corresponding to the terms of the capital securities issued by that ONB Trust. The principal amount of the junior subordinated debentures that Old National issues to an ONB Trust will be equal to the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the capital securities and the common securities of that ONB Trust. Concurrently with the issuance of each ONB Trust’s capital securities, each ONB Trust will invest the proceeds from the sale of the capital securities and the consideration Old National pays for the common securities in a series of corresponding junior subordinated debentures that Old National will issue to that ONB Trust.

      The prospectus supplement will describe specific terms relating to the offering of each series of junior subordinated debentures. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, Old National will covenant, as to each series of junior subordinated debentures issued to an ONB Trust:

  •  to maintain, directly or indirectly, 100% ownership of the common securities of the ONB Trust to which the corresponding junior subordinated debentures have been issued (provided that certain successors which are permitted pursuant to the indenture may succeed to Old National’s ownership of the common securities);
 
  •  not to voluntarily terminate, wind-up or liquidate the ONB Trust, except:

  •  in connection with a distribution of the junior subordinated debentures to the holders of the capital securities in liquidation of the ONB Trust; or
 
  •  in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the related trust agreement; and

  •  to use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the terms and provisions of the related trust agreement, to cause such ONB Trust to remain a statutory trust and to otherwise continue to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

  •  any other covenant or warranty included for the benefit of the junior subordinated debentures of the series in addition to, and not inconsistent with, those included in the indenture;
 
  •  the obligation or the right, if any, of Old National to redeem, repay or purchase the junior subordinated debentures of that series pursuant to any sinking fund, amortization or analogous provisions, or at the option of a holder of the junior subordinated debentures and the terms and conditions upon which the junior subordinated debentures of the series will be redeemed, repaid or purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to that obligation;

      A holder of registered junior subordinated debentures may request registration of a transfer upon surrender of the junior subordinated debenture being transferred at any agency or office that Old National maintains for that purpose and upon fulfillment of all other requirements of the agent.

Subordination

      The indenture provides that the junior subordinated debentures will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to all senior debt (as defined below) of Old National. This means that no payment of principal, including redemption payments, premium, if any, or interest on the junior subordinated debentures may be made if:

  •  any senior debt of Old National has not been paid when due and any applicable grace period relating to such default has ended and such default has not been cured or waived or ceased to exist; or
 
  •  the maturity of any senior debt of Old National has been accelerated because of a default.

18


Table of Contents

      Upon any distribution of Old National’s assets to creditors upon any termination, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings, all principal, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due on all senior debt of Old National must be paid in full before the holders of junior subordinated debentures are entitled to receive or retain any payment. Subject to the payment in full of senior debt of Old National then outstanding, the rights of the holders of the junior subordinated debentures will be subrogated to the rights of the holders of senior debt of Old National to receive payments or distributions applicable to senior debt until all amounts owing on the junior subordinated debentures are paid in full.

      The term “senior debt” means:

        (1) all indebtedness of Old National for borrowed or purchased money, including, but not limited to, any senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities described under “Description of Debt Securities” and any other debt securities of Old National the terms of which do not expressly provide that they will rank equally with or junior to the junior subordinated debentures;
 
        (2) all obligations of Old National arising from off-balance sheet guarantees and direct credit substitutes;
 
        (3) all capital lease obligations of Old National;
 
        (4) all obligations of Old National issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property, all conditional sale obligations of Old National and all obligations of Old National under any conditional sale or title retention agreement, but excluding trade accounts payable arising in the ordinary course of business;
 
        (5) all obligations, contingent or otherwise, of Old National in respect of any letters of credit, banker’s acceptances, security purchase facilities or similar credit transactions;
 
        (6) all obligations of Old National associated with derivative products such as interest rate and foreign exchange contracts, commodity contracts and similar arrangements;
 
        (7) all obligations of the type referred to in clauses (1) through (6) above of other persons for the payment of which Old National is responsible or liable as obligor, guarantor or otherwise; and
 
        (8) all obligations of the type referred to in clauses (1) through (7) above of other persons secured by any lien on any property or asset of Old National, whether or not such obligation is assumed by Old National,

in each case, whether outstanding on the date the indenture became effective, or created, assumed or incurred after that date, except for:

        (a) the junior subordinated debentures and any indebtedness or guarantee of Old National that by its terms ranks equally with, or junior to, the junior subordinated debentures; and
 
        (b) any indebtedness between or among Old National and (i) any ONB Trust or a trustee of such ONB Trust or (ii) any other trust, or a trustee of such trust, partnership or other entity affiliated with Old National that is a financing vehicle of Old National in connection with the issuance by such financing vehicle of preferred securities or other securities guaranteed by Old National pursuant to an instrument that ranks equally with, or junior to, the guarantee.

      We currently have outstanding two series of junior subordinated debt securities (which were issued, respectively, to ONB Capital Trust I and ONB Capital Trust II pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 14, 2000, between us and J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association (as successor to Bank One Trust Company, NA)) with terms and conditions similar to the terms and conditions of the junior subordinated debentures described in this prospectus. There is currently $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such junior subordinated debt securities outstanding. These junior subordinated debt securities contain certain acceleration provisions that could be triggered prior to the acceleration provisions of the junior subordinated debentures described in this prospectus supplement. Accordingly, the outstanding amount of

19


Table of Contents

those two series of junior subordinated debt securities could become due and payable prior to the junior subordinated debentures.

Successor Obligor

      The indenture provides that Old National will not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation, or convey, transfer or lease its properties or assets substantially as an entirety to any entity and that no entity may consolidate with or merge into Old National or convey, transfer or lease its property and assets substantially as an entirety to Old National, unless:

  •  the entity formed by the consolidation or into which Old National is merged or the entity which acquires the properties and assets of Old National substantially as an entirety is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of Old National’s obligations under the indenture and the junior subordinated debentures;
 
  •  all required approvals of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the transaction shall have been obtained; and
 
  •  immediately after the transaction no default exists under the indenture. (Section 8.1)

      The successor shall be substituted for Old National as if it had been an original party to the indenture and thereafter may exercise Old National’s rights and powers under the indenture and the junior subordinated debentures, and all of Old National’s obligations under the indenture and the junior subordinated debentures will terminate. (Section 8.2)

Exchange of Junior Subordinated Debentures

      Registered junior subordinated debentures may be exchanged for an equal principal amount of registered junior subordinated debentures of the same series and date of maturity in authorized denominations requested by the holders upon surrender of the registered junior subordinated debentures at an office or agency Old National maintains for that purpose and upon fulfillment of all other requirements set forth in the indenture. (Section 3.6)

Defaults and Events of Default

      Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, the following are “events of default” with respect to a series of junior subordinated debentures:

  •  the failure to pay in full the interest accrued on any junior subordinated debentures of that series upon the conclusion of a period consisting of 20 consecutive quarters commencing with the earliest quarter for which interest (including interest accrued on deferred payments) has not been paid in full and the continuance of this failure to pay for a period of 30 days;
 
  •  specified events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Old National occur; or
 
  •  any other event of default with respect to that series specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

      Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, a default with respect to a series of junior subordinated debentures will occur if:

  •  an event of default with respect to that series occurs;
 
  •  Old National defaults in any payment of interest on any junior subordinated debentures of that series when the payment becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days (it being understood that the extension of an interest payment period in accordance with the provisions of the junior subordinated debentures will not constitute a default under the indenture);

20


Table of Contents

  •  Old National defaults in the payment of the principal and premium, if any, of any junior subordinated debentures of the series when those payments become due and payable at maturity or upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise;
 
  •  Old National defaults in the payment or satisfaction of any sinking fund obligation with respect to any junior subordinated debentures of the series and the default continues for a period of 30 days; or
 
  •  any other default specified with respect to that series in the prospectus supplement occurs. (Section 5.1)

Remedies

      If an event of default specified in the first or third bullet points of the definition of event of default occurs under the indenture with respect to any series of junior subordinated debentures and is continuing, the trustee by notice to Old National or (except as provided in the next sentence) the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of that series by notice both to Old National and to the trustee, may declare the principal of, and any premium and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the junior subordinated debentures of that series to be due and payable immediately. If an event of default specified in the second bullet point of the definition of event of default occurs, the entire principal amount of, and any premium and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the junior subordinated debentures of that series shall automatically become immediately due and payable without further action. In the case of a series of junior subordinated debentures issued to an ONB Trust, if, upon an event of default specified in the first or third bullet points of the definition of event of default, the trustee or the holders, if any, together holding not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of that series, fail to declare the principal of all the junior subordinated debentures of that series to be immediately due and payable, then the holders of 25% in aggregate liquidation amount of the capital securities issued by the ONB Trust then outstanding shall have the right to do so by notice to Old National and to the trustee.

      Except as provided in the next sentence, the holders of a majority in principal amount of a series of junior subordinated debentures, by notice to the trustee, may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if certain conditions are met, including:

        (a) Old National pays or deposits with the indenture trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

        (i) all overdue interest,
 
        (ii) the principal of and any premium which has become due other than by the declaration of acceleration and overdue interest on those amounts,
 
        (iii) any overdue sinking fund payments and overdue interest on such payments,
 
        (iv) interest on overdue interest to the extent lawful, and
 
        (v) all amounts otherwise due to the trustee under the indenture;

        (b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of any governmental or regulatory authority; and
 
        (c) all other existing defaults on the series have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration.

      In the case of a series of junior subordinated debentures issued to an ONB Trust, the holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the capital securities issued by that ONB Trust then outstanding shall also have the right to rescind the acceleration and its consequences with respect to such series, subject to the same conditions set forth above. (Section 5.2)

      If a default occurs and is continuing on a series, the trustee may pursue any available remedy to enforce the performance of any provision applicable to the series, or otherwise to protect the rights of the trustee and holders of the series. (Section 5.3)

21


Table of Contents

      In the case of a series of junior subordinated debentures issued to an ONB Trust, any holder of the outstanding capital securities issued by that ONB Trust shall have the right, upon the occurrence and continuance of a default with respect to that series occurring as a result of Old National’s failure to timely pay interest, principal or premium as described above, to sue Old National directly. In that lawsuit the holder of the capital securities can force Old National to pay it, rather than the ONB Trust, the then-due principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the junior subordinated debentures held by the ONB Trust having a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the capital securities held by that holder. (Section 5.8)

      The trustee may require an indemnity satisfactory to it before it performs any duty or exercises any right or power under the indenture or the junior subordinated debentures which it reasonably believes may expose it to any risk of loss or liability. (Section 6.1) With some limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the junior subordinated debentures of a series may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to that series. (Section 5.12) Except in the case of default in payment on a series, the trustee may withhold notice of any continuing default with respect to the junior subordinated debentures of that series if it determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of holders of the series. (Section 6.2) Old National is required to furnish the trustee annually a brief certificate as to Old National’s compliance with all terms and conditions of the indenture. (Section 10.4)

      The defaults specified in the indenture do not include a cross-default provision. Therefore, unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, a default by Old National on any other debt, including any other series of debt securities, would not constitute a default under the indenture (or in the case of a default as to any series of junior subordinated debentures, a default as to any other series of junior subordinated debentures outstanding under the indenture). If junior subordinated debentures of a series provide for a cross-default provision, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms of that provision.

      In addition, the indenture does not permit acceleration of the junior subordinated debentures following a default, except in the case of a default that also constitutes an event of default.

Amendments

      Without the consent of any holder of junior subordinated debentures, subject to certain limitations, Old National may amend the indenture by entering into one or more supplemental indentures for any of the following purposes:

  •  to provide for the assumption of Old National’s obligations to holders of junior subordinated debentures by the surviving company in the event of a merger or consolidation requiring such assumption as described above under “— Successor Obligor;”
 
  •  to add to the covenants of Old National or to surrender any right or power conferred upon Old National;
 
  •  to add additional defaults or events of default;
 
  •  to change or eliminate any provisions of the indenture provided there are no outstanding junior subordinated debentures entitled to the benefit of such provisions;
 
  •  to secure the junior subordinated debentures;
 
  •  to create a series of junior subordinated debentures and establish the terms of that series;
 
  •  to provide for a separate trustee for one or more series of junior subordinated debentures;
 
  •  to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision of the indenture which may be inconsistent with other provisions of the indenture or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the indenture provided such action does not materially adversely affect the rights of any holder of junior subordinated debentures; or
 
  •  to maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. (Section 9.1)

22


Table of Contents

      Old National and the trustee may amend the indenture by entering into one or more supplemental indentures with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the junior subordinated debentures of all series affected voting as one class. However, without the consent of each holder of junior subordinated debentures affected, no amendment may:

  •  change the stated maturity of the principal of, or the dates on which interest is payable on, any junior subordinated debentures or change the currency in which any such amounts or any premium shall be payable;
 
  •  reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest payable on, the junior subordinated debentures or any premium payable upon redemption;
 
  •  impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on the junior subordinated debentures after that payment has become due;
 
  •  modify the provisions of the indenture with respect to the subordination of the junior subordinated debentures in a manner adverse to holders of junior subordinated debentures;
 
  •  modify the indenture in any way that materially adversely affects the right of holders of junior subordinated debentures to convert or exchange those junior subordinated debentures;
 
  •  reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding junior subordinated debentures of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for any such amendment, or the consent of whose holders is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of, and defaults under, the indenture and their consequences; or
 
  •  modify any of the provisions of the indenture relating to modification or waiver, except to increase any percentage in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding junior subordinated debentures of the series whose consent is necessary for the modification or waiver or to provide that certain other provisions of the indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of each holder of outstanding junior subordinated debentures affected by the change. (Section 9.2)

If a series of junior subordinated debentures is held by an ONB Trust, Old National is not permitted to amend the indenture in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph without the prior consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the capital securities then outstanding; provided that if the consent of the holder of each junior subordinated debenture of a series outstanding is required, then Old National will not be permitted to amend the indenture without the consent of each holder of outstanding capital securities of the applicable ONB Trust. (Section 9.2)

Option to Defer Interest Payment Date

      Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, Old National will have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of any series of junior subordinated debentures issued to an ONB Trust to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period for a maximum number of consecutive periods that will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. No deferral period may extend beyond the maturity date of that series of junior subordinated debentures. Old National may pay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued to that point during a deferral period. At the end of the deferral period or at a redemption date, Old National will be obligated to pay all interest accrued and unpaid (together with interest on the unpaid interest to the extent permitted by applicable law). United States federal income tax consequences and special considerations applicable to any junior subordinated debentures issued to an ONB Trust for which a deferral period has been elected will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. During any deferral period, or while Old National is in default under the indenture, Old National will be restricted in its ability to make payments or incur obligations related to its capital stock or debt securities ranking equal to or below the junior subordinated debentures. See “— Restrictions on Certain Payments.” Prior to the termination of any deferral period, Old National may extend the interest payment period, and, after the termination of any deferral period and the payment of all amounts due, Old National may decide to begin a new deferral period. (Section 13.1)

23


Table of Contents

      Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, if the property trustee is the sole holder of the series of junior subordinated debentures held by the ONB Trust, Old National will give the issuer trustees of the ONB Trust notice of Old National’s selection of any deferral period one business day prior to the earlier of:

  •  the next date distributions on the capital securities are payable; or
 
  •  the date the ONB Trust is required to give notice to the New York Stock Exchange (or other applicable self-regulatory organization) or to holders of its capital securities of the record date or the date any distribution on the capital securities is payable.

      Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, if the property trustee is not the sole holder of the series of junior subordinated debentures, Old National will give the holders of the junior subordinated debentures notice of Old National’s selection of any deferral period five business days prior to the earliest of:

  •  the next interest payment date; or
 
  •  the date upon which Old National is required to give notice to the New York Stock Exchange (or other applicable self-regulatory organization) or to holders of the junior subordinated debentures of the record or payment date of any related interest payment. (Section 13.2)

Redemption

      The applicable prospectus supplement will specify the terms, if any, upon which Old National can redeem the junior subordinated debentures at its option. Any such redemption may, as specified, be in whole or in part, will be upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice to the holder of the junior subordinated debentures at a redemption price or prices stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. In order to redeem the junior subordinated debentures of any series held by an ONB Trust, Old National may need to obtain the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

      If the junior subordinated debentures are redeemed only in part, they will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method selected by the trustee. If a partial redemption of the junior subordinated debentures would result in the delisting of the capital securities of an ONB Trust from any national securities exchange or other self-regulatory organization on which the capital securities of the ONB Trust holding the junior subordinated debentures are then listed, Old National will not be permitted to effect the partial redemption and will only be permitted to redeem the junior subordinated debentures as a whole. (Section 11.2)

      Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, if a tax event (as defined below), an investment company event (as defined below) or a regulatory capital event (as defined below) in respect of an ONB Trust occurs and is continuing, Old National will have the option to redeem the junior subordinated debentures held by that ONB Trust, in whole, but not in part, at any time within 90 days following the occurrence of the event; provided that if Old National can eliminate, within the 90 day period, such event by taking some action, such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure which has no adverse effect on Old National, the relevant ONB Trust or the holders of the capital securities or the common securities, Old National will pursue that action instead of redemption. Old National will have no right to redeem the junior subordinated debentures while such ONB Trust or the property trustee is pursuing any similar action based on its obligations under the trust agreement. If the applicable ONB Trust is the holder of all outstanding junior subordinated debentures that are redeemed, the proceeds of the redemption will be used by the ONB Trust to redeem its capital securities and common securities in accordance with their terms.

      “Tax event” means the receipt by the applicable ONB Trust of an opinion of counsel (which may be counsel to Old National or an affiliate) experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of any

  •  amendment to, or change (including any announced proposed change) in the laws or any regulations under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority, or

24


Table of Contents

  •  official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying the laws or regulations stated above whether or not the pronouncement or decision is issued to or in connection with a proceeding involving Old National or the ONB Trust,

in each case which amendment or change is effective or which proposed change, pronouncement, action or decision is announced on or after the date of issuance of the applicable series of junior subordinated debentures, there is more than an insubstantial risk that:

  •  the ONB Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date of the opinion of counsel, subject to United States federal income tax with respect to income received or accrued on the junior subordinated debentures;
 
  •  interest Old National pays on the corresponding junior subordinated debentures is not, or will not be within 90 days of the date of the opinion of counsel, deductible, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax purposes; or
 
  •  the ONB Trust is, or will be within 90 days of the date of the opinion of counsel, subject to more than a de minimis amount of other taxes, duties or other governmental charges.

      “Investment company event” means the receipt by the applicable ONB Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of the occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a change in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental agency or regulatory authority on or after the date of original issuance of the capital securities, the ONB Trust is or will be considered an “investment company” that is required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

      “Regulatory capital event” means the receipt by the applicable ONB Trust of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters, who may be an employee of Old National or any of Old National’s affiliates, to the effect that, as a result of:

  •  any amendment to, clarification of or change in applicable laws or regulations or official interpretations thereof or policies with respect thereto, or
 
  •  any official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations,

there is more than an insubstantial risk that the capital securities will no longer constitute Tier I Capital of Old National or any bank holding company of which Old National is a subsidiary for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines or policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or its successor as Old National’s primary federal banking regulator.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, a regulatory capital event shall not be deemed to have occurred as a result of the adoption by the Federal Reserve Board of final rules pursuant to its notice of proposed rulemaking dated May 6, 2004 relating, in part, to the implementation of stricter quantitative limits and qualitative standards for trust preferred securities to be treated as “Tier 1” regulatory capital.

Restrictions on Certain Payments

      Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, Old National will not:

  •  declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock;
 
  •  make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any of its debt securities (including other junior subordinated debentures) that rank equally with or junior in interest to the junior subordinated debentures; or
 
  •  make any guarantee payments with respect to any of the debt securities of any of its subsidiaries if the guarantee ranks equally with or junior in interest to the junior subordinated debentures;

25


Table of Contents

other than:

  •  dividends or distributions payable in its common stock;
 
  •  payments under any guarantee relating to the capital securities of an ONB Trust;
 
  •  purchases of common stock related to the issuance of common stock under any benefit plans for its directors, officers or employees; and
 
  •  obligations under any dividend reinvestment plan or stock purchase plan;

at any time when:

  •  an event has occurred that (a) with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default under the indenture with respect to the junior subordinated debentures and (b) Old National shall not have taken reasonable steps to cure the event;
 
  •  the junior subordinated debentures are held by an ONB Trust and Old National is in default with respect to any payment obligations under the guarantee relating to the capital securities of that ONB Trust; or
 
  •  Old National shall have given notice of its intention to begin an interest deferral period and shall not have rescinded the notice or when any deferral period is continuing.

Governing Law

      The indenture and the junior subordinated debentures will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Regarding the Trustee

      Old National and its affiliates maintain banking relationships with J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association and its affiliates in the ordinary course of our business. In addition, J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association will act as trustee under the indentures pursuant to which Old National’s senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities will be issued.

      The Trust Indenture Act contains limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become a creditor of ours, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The trustee is permitted to act as trustee under our other indentures, trust agreements and guarantee agreements and to engage in other transactions with us and our subsidiaries from time to time, provided that if the trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict upon the occurrence of an event of default under the indenture, or else resign.

Our by-laws provide that for all other shareholder votes, when a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of the Indiana Business Corporation Law, our articles of incorporation or our by-laws, a greater vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

      Dividends. Subject to the rights of any series of preferred stock authorized by the board of directors as provided by our articles of incorporation, the holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends as and when declared by the board out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends.

      Liquidation. In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, subject to the rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining for distribution to common shareholders according to their interests.

      Other Rights. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and the shares of our common stock are not subject to any further calls or assessments by us. There are no conversion rights or sinking fund provisions applicable to the shares of our common stock.

      Listing. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ONB.” We act as the transfer agent for our common stock.

Preferred Stock

 
Authorized Preferred Stock

      Our authorized preferred stock consists of 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value, of which 1,000,000 shares relate to our Series A Preferred Stock. As of October 31, 2004, no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

 
General

      Under our articles of incorporation and the Indiana Business Corporation Law, preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, upon board authorization and without shareholder approval.

27


Table of Contents

Within certain legal limits, the board is authorized to determine the terms of any series of preferred stock, including:

  •  designation, number of shares to issue, price, dividend rate, voting rights, and liquidation preferences;
 
  •  any redemption, sinking fund or conversion provisions; and
 
  •  any other terms, limitations and relative rights and preferences.

As a result, the board, without shareholder approval, could authorize preferred stock to be issued with voting, conversion and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of common shareholders or other outstanding series of preferred stock.

      Each series of preferred stock will have the dividend, liquidation, redemption and voting rights described below unless otherwise described in a prospectus supplement pertaining to a specific series of preferred stock. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of the series of preferred stock in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

  •  the designation of that series and the number of shares offered;
 
  •  the amount of the liquidation preference, if any, per share or the method of calculating the amount;
 
  •  the initial public offering price at which shares of that series will be issued;
 
  •  the dividend rate, if any, or the method of calculating the rate and the dates on which dividends will begin to cumulate, if applicable;
 
  •  any redemption or sinking fund provisions;
 
  •  any conversion or exchange rights;
 
  •  any voting or additional rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, limitations and restrictions;
 
  •  any securities exchange listing;
 
  •  the relative ranking and preferences of that series as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Old National; and
 
  •  any other terms of that series.

Shares of our preferred stock, when issued against full payment of the purchase price, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

      When appropriate, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the preferred stock.

      Rank. Each series of preferred stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, rank prior to common stock. The rank of each separate series of preferred stock will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, but all shares of each series will be of equal rank with each other.

      Dividends. Holders of each series of preferred stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if our board declares, cash dividends, payable at the dates and at the rates per share as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Those rates may be fixed, variable or both.

      Dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If dividends on a series of preferred stock are non-cumulative and if our board fails to declare a dividend for a dividend period for that series, then holders of that preferred stock will have no right to receive a dividend for that dividend period, and we will have no obligation to pay the dividend for that period, whether or not dividends are declared for any future dividend payment dates. If dividends on a series of preferred stock are cumulative, the dividends on those shares will accrue from and after the date mentioned in the applicable prospectus supplement.

28


Table of Contents

      Redemption. The terms on which any series of preferred stock may be redeemed will be in the applicable prospectus supplement. All shares of preferred stock which we redeem, purchase or acquire, including shares surrendered for conversion or exchange, will be retired and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares, but may be reissued only as a part of the preferred stock other than the series of which they were originally a part.

      Liquidation. In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, preferred shareholders of any particular series will be entitled, subject to creditors’ rights and holders of any series of preferred stock ranking senior as to liquidation rights, but before any distribution to common shareholders or holders of any series of preferred stock ranking junior as to liquidation rights, to receive a liquidating distribution in the amount of the liquidation preference, if any, per share as mentioned in the applicable prospectus supplement, plus accrued and unpaid dividends for the current dividend period. This would include any accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods, if dividends on that series of preferred stock are cumulative. If the amounts available for distribution upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up are not sufficient to satisfy the full liquidation rights of all the outstanding preferred stock of that series and all stock ranking equal to that series of preferred stock, then the holders of each series of that stock will share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full respective preferential amount, which may include accumulated dividends, to which they are entitled. After the full amount of the liquidation preference is paid, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of our assets.

      Voting. The voting rights of preferred stock of any series will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Under Indiana law, regardless of whether a class or a series of shares is granted voting rights by the terms of our articles of incorporation, the shareholders of that class or series are entitled to vote as a separate voting group, or together with other similarly affected series, on certain amendments to our articles of incorporation and certain other fundamental changes that directly affect that class or series.

      Under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, if the holders of any series of preferred stock become entitled to vote for the election of directors because dividends on that series are in arrears, that series may then be deemed a “class of voting securities,” and a holder of 25% or more of that series (or a holder of 5% or more if it otherwise exercises a “controlling influence” over Old National) may then be subject to regulation as a bank holding company. In addition, in that event:

  •  any bank holding company may be required to obtain Federal Reserve Board approval, and any foreign bank, and any company that controls a foreign bank, that has certain types of U.S. banking operations may be required to obtain Federal Reserve Board approval under the International Banking Act of 1978, to acquire 5% or more of that series of preferred stock; and
 
  •  any person other than a bank holding company may be required to obtain Federal Reserve Board approval under the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 to acquire 10% or more of that series of preferred stock.

      Conversion or Exchange. The terms on which preferred stock of any series may be converted into or exchanged for another class or series of securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

      Other Rights. The shares of a series of preferred stock may have the preferences, voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights as may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, our articles of incorporation, or as otherwise required by law. The holders of preferred stock will not have any preemptive rights to subscribe to any of our securities.

      Title. Old National, any transfer agent and registrar for a series of preferred stock, and any of their agents may treat the registered owner of that preferred stock as the absolute owner of that stock, whether or not any payment for that preferred stock shall be overdue and despite any notice to the contrary, for any purpose.

      Transfer Agent and Registrar. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement specifies otherwise, we will be the transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursement agent for each series of preferred stock.

Indiana Law and Certain Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation; Anti-Takeover Measures
 
Articles of Incorporation

      Our articles of incorporation currently authorize the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Within the limits of applicable law and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, these shares are available to be issued, without prior shareholder approval, in classes with relative rights, privileges and preferences determined for each class by our board of directors.

      Our board of directors has authorized a series of preferred stock designated as Series A Preferred Stock, and designated 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in connection with our shareholder rights plan. The Series A Preferred Stock may not be issued except upon exercise of certain rights pursuant to such shareholder rights plan. No shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been issued as of the date hereof. On January 25, 1990, the board declared a dividend of one (1) right for each issued and outstanding share of common stock. The dividend was payable on March 15, 1990 to holders of record of common stock at the close of business on March 1, 1990. The board of directors also authorized the issuance of one (1) right for each share of common stock issued by us between March 1, 1990 and the earlier of (i) the first date of public announcement by us or a person who beneficially owns twenty percent (20%) or more of our stock that such person owns twenty percent (20%) of more of our common stock and (ii) the date of the first public announcement by any person to commence a tender or exchange offer for twenty percent (20%) or more of our common stock; provided, however, the term “person” does not include us, our subsidiaries, our employee benefit plans, or any entity holding common stock for or under the terms of any such employee benefit plan. Each right entitles the registered holder, upon the occurrence of certain events involving a change in control, to purchase from us one-hundredth (1/100) of a share of Series A Preferred Stock at an initial purchase price of $60.00, subject to adjustment. The terms and conditions of the rights are contained in an amended Rights Agreement between us and Old National Bank in Evansville, as Rights Agent, a copy of which was filed on March 1, 2000 with Old National’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A.

      Our articles of incorporation provide for a board of directors divided into three classes, with terms of office of one class expiring each year. Commencing with the annual meeting of shareholders in 2003 and at each annual meeting thereafter, the directors of the class whose terms expired at such meeting were and shall thereafter be elected for terms of three years and until their respective successors were and are duly elected and qualified. In addition, our articles of incorporation provide that directors may be removed, with or without cause, only by

        (i) the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote in the election of directors at a shareholders’ meeting called for that purpose, or
 
        (ii) the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the entire board.

Any alteration, amendment or repeal of this provision of our articles of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of our common stock on a proposal recommended by a the vote of not less than two-thirds of our entire board of directors. This article would preclude a third party from electing the entire board at a single annual meeting of shareholders and simultaneously gaining control of our board. With the staggered terms of directors as set forth in the article, it would take at least two elections of directors for any individual or group to gain control of the board.

      Our articles of incorporation also provide that certain business combinations may, under certain circumstances, require approval of more than a simple majority of our issued and outstanding shares, and require a super-majority shareholder vote of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock for the amendment of certain significant provisions.

      Additionally, our articles of incorporation provide that the board will consider non-financial factors that it deems relevant when evaluating a business combination. Any amendment of this article requires a super-majority shareholder vote of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of common stock.

      Finally, our articles of incorporation provide that any person or group of persons who acquires 15% or more of our then outstanding common stock must pay an amount at least equal to the highest percent over

30


Table of Contents

market value paid for shares already held by such person or group when acquiring additional shares. Any amendment of this article requires a super-majority shareholder vote of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of common stock.

      These provisions in our articles of incorporation are designed to encourage potential acquirers to negotiate with our board of directors to preserve for shareholders our value in the event of a takeover attempt. These provisions reduce the likelihood that a potential acquirer who is unwilling to pay a market premium determined by the board to be sufficient will attempt to acquire shares of our common stock by means of an open market accumulation, front-end loaded tender offer or other coercive or unfair takeover tactic. These provisions in our articles of incorporation would ensure that we, our shareholders and our other stakeholders would be protected from certain takeover attempts, or the acquisition of a substantial block of equity, on terms that may be less favorable generally than would be available in transactions negotiated with and approved by the board.

 
Indiana Law

      Chapters 42 and 43 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law, which are applicable to us, may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects by prescribing, in the case of Chapter 42, certain voting requirements in instances in which a person acquires shares of Old National in excess of certain thresholds or proscribing, in the case of Chapter 43, certain transactions between Old National and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as a person beneficially owning 10% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock) during the five year period following the time such person became an interested stockholder.

      In addition, Chapter 35 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law provides that in taking or declining to take any action, or in making or declining to make any recommendation to the shareholders of the corporation with respect to any matter, a board of directors may, in its discretion, consider both the short term and long term best interests of the corporation, taking into account, and weighing as the directors deem appropriate, the effects thereof on the corporation’s shareholders and the other corporate constituent groups and interests, as well as any other factors deemed pertinent by the directors. As a result, by expanding the factors that may be considered relevant by the directors in assessing a takeover proposal, this provision could be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects.

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

      This section describes the general terms and provisions of the depositary shares. The prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the depositary shares offered through that prospectus supplement. The specific terms may differ from the general description of terms described below.

      We have summarized the material terms and provisions of the deposit agreement, the depositary shares and the depositary receipts in this section. We will also file the form of deposit agreement, including the form of depositary receipt, as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read the forms of deposit agreement and depositary receipt relating to a series of preferred stock for additional information before you buy any depositary shares that represent preferred stock of that series.

General

      We may offer fractional interests in preferred stock, rather than full shares of preferred stock. If we do, we will provide for the issuance by a depositary to the public of receipts for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fractional interest in a share of a particular series of preferred stock.

      The shares of any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million, which we refer to in this prospectus as the depositary. We will name the depositary in the applicable prospectus supplement. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will have a fractional interest in all the rights

31


Table of Contents

and preferences of the preferred stock underlying the depositary share. Those rights include any dividend, voting, redemption, conversion, exchange and liquidation rights.

      The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued under the deposit agreement. If you purchase fractional interests in shares of the related series of preferred stock, you will receive depositary receipts as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. While the final depositary receipts are being prepared, we may order the depositary to issue temporary depositary receipts substantially identical to the final depositary receipts although not in final form. The holders of the temporary depositary receipts will be entitled to the same rights as if they held the depositary receipts in final form. Holders of the temporary depositary receipts can exchange them for the final depositary receipts at our expense.

      Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, you will not be entitled to receive the whole shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares.

      Where appropriate, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the depositary shares.

Dividends and Other Distributions

      The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received with respect to the preferred stock to the record holders of depositary shares representing the shares of preferred stock in proportion to the number of depositary shares owned by the holders on the relevant record date. The depositary will not distribute amounts less than one cent. The depositary will distribute any balance with the next sum received for distribution to record holders of depositary shares.

      If there is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property to the holders of depositary shares, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this occurs, the depositary may, with our approval, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds from the sale to the holders of depositary shares.

      The deposit agreement will also contain provisions relating to how any subscription or similar rights offered by us to holders of the preferred stock will be made available to the holders of depositary shares.

Conversion and Exchange

      If any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares is subject to conversion or exchange, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the rights or obligations of each record holder of depositary receipts to convert or exchange the depositary shares.

Redemption of Depositary Shares

      If the series of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares is subject to redemption, all or a part of the depositary shares will be redeemed from the redemption proceeds of that series of the preferred stock held by the depositary. The depositary will mail notice of redemption between 30 to 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the record holders of the depositary shares to be redeemed at their addresses appearing in the depositary’s records. The redemption price per depositary share will bear the same relationship to the redemption price per share of preferred stock that the depositary share bears to the underlying preferred stock. Whenever we redeem preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem, as of the same redemption date, the number of depositary shares representing the preferred stock redeemed. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata as determined by the depositary.

      After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be outstanding. When the depositary shares are no longer outstanding, all rights of the holders will cease, except the right to receive money or other property that the holders of the depositary shares were entitled to receive upon the redemption. Payments will be made when holders surrender their depositary receipts to the depositary.

32


Table of Contents

Voting the Preferred Stock

      When the depositary receives notice of any meeting at which the holders of the preferred stock may vote, the depositary will mail information about the meeting contained in the notice, and any accompanying proxy materials, to the record holders of the depositary shares relating to the preferred stock. Each record holder of such depositary shares on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock, will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to how the preferred stock underlying the holder’s depositary shares should be voted.

      The depositary will try, if practical, to vote the number of shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares according to the instructions received. We will agree to take all action requested by and deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to vote the preferred stock in that manner. The depositary will not vote any preferred stock for which it does not receive specific instructions from the holders of the depositary shares relating to such preferred stock, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement

      The form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement may be amended by agreement between us and the depositary at any time. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the existing holders of depositary shares will not be effective unless approved by the record holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then outstanding. A deposit agreement may be terminated by us or the depositary only if:

  •  all outstanding depositary shares relating to the deposit agreement have been redeemed or reacquired by us;
 
  •  all preferred stock of the relevant series has been withdrawn; or
 
  •  there has been a final distribution on the preferred stock of the relevant series in connection with our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our business and the distribution has been distributed to the holders of the related depositary shares.

Charges of Depositary

      We will pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will pay associated charges of the depositary for the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock. Holders of depositary shares will pay transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and any other charges that are stated to be their responsibility in the deposit agreement.

Miscellaneous

      We will forward to the depositary, for distribution to the holders of depositary shares, all reports and communications that we must furnish to the holders of the preferred stock. Neither the depositary nor we will be liable if the depositary is prevented or delayed by law or any circumstance beyond its control in performing its obligations under the deposit agreement. Our obligations and the depositary’s obligations under the deposit agreement will be limited to performance in good faith of duties set forth in the deposit agreement. Neither the depositary nor we will be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding connected with any depositary shares or preferred stock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished to us and/or the depositary. We and the depositary may rely upon written advice of counsel or accountants, or information provided by persons presenting preferred stock for deposit, holders of depositary shares or other persons believed to be competent and on documents believed to be genuine.

33


Table of Contents

Resignation and Removal of Depositary

      The depositary may resign at any time by delivering notice to us. We may also remove the depositary at any time. Resignations or removals will take effect when a successor depositary is appointed and it accepts the appointment. The successor depositary must be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million.

DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS

      We may issue purchase contracts, including purchase contracts issued as part of a unit with one or more other securities, for the purchase or sale of our debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock. The price of our debt securities or price per share of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares, as applicable, may be fixed at the time the purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula contained in the purchase contracts. We may issue purchase contracts in such amounts and in as many distinct series as we wish.

      The applicable prospectus supplement may contain, where applicable, the following information about the purchase contracts issued under it:

  •  whether the purchase contracts obligate the holder to purchase or sell, or both purchase and sell, our debt securities, common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares, as applicable, and the nature and amount of each of those securities, or method of determining those amounts;
 
  •  whether the purchase contracts are to be prepaid or not;
 
  •  whether the purchase contracts are to be settled by delivery, or by reference or linkage to the value, performance or level of our common stock or preferred stock;
 
  •  any acceleration, cancellation, termination or other provisions relating to the settlement of the purchase contracts;
 
  •  United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the purchase contracts; and
 
  •  whether the purchase contracts will be issued in fully registered global form.

      The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any purchase contracts. The preceding description and any description of purchase contracts in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the purchase contract agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such purchase contracts.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

      We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

      The applicable prospectus supplement may describe:

  •  the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
 
  •  any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units;
 
  •  the terms of the unit agreement governing the units;

34


Table of Contents

  •  United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the units; and
 
  •  whether the units will be issued in fully registered global form.

The preceding description and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements relating to such units.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

      This section describes the general terms and provisions of the warrants. The prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the warrants offered through that prospectus supplement and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to those warrants.

      We may issue warrants for the purchase of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock. Warrants may be issued alone or together with securities offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from those securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, which will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not act as an agent or trustee for any holders of warrants.

      We have summarized the material terms and provisions of the warrant agreements and warrants in this section. We have also filed the forms of warrant agreements and the certificates representing the warrants as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. You should read the applicable forms of warrant agreement and warrant certificate for additional information before you buy any warrants.

General

      If warrants for the purchase of debt securities are offered, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of those warrants, including the following if applicable:

  •  the offering price;
 
  •  the currencies in which the warrants are being offered;
 
  •  the aggregate principal amount, currencies, denominations and terms of the series of the debt securities that can be purchased if a holder exercises the warrants and the price at which and currencies in which the principal amount may be purchased upon exercise;
 
  •  the designation and terms of any series of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or other securities with which the warrants are being offered and the number of warrants offered with each debt security, share of preferred stock, depositary share or other security;
 
  •  the date on and after which the holder of the warrants can transfer them separately from the related securities;
 
  •  the date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the date on which the right expires;
 
  •  whether the warrants will be in registered or bearer form;
 
  •  United States federal income tax consequences; and
 
  •  any other terms of the warrants.

35


Table of Contents

      If warrants for the purchase of preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock are offered, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of those warrants, including the following where applicable:

  •  the offering price;
 
  •  the total number of shares that can be purchased if a holder of the warrants exercises them and, in the case of warrants for preferred stock or depositary shares, the designation and terms of the series of preferred stock that can be purchased upon exercise or that are underlying the depositary shares that can be purchased upon exercise;
 
  •  the designation and terms of the series of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares or other securities with which the warrants are being offered and the number of warrants being offered with each debt security, share of preferred stock, depositary share or other security;
 
  •  the date on and after which the holder of the warrants can transfer them separately from the related securities;
 
  •  the date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the date on which the right expires;
 
  •  United States federal income tax consequences; and
 
  •  any other terms of the warrants.

      Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the warrants will be in registered form only.

      A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer, and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

      Until any warrants to purchase debt securities are exercised, the holder of such warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the debt securities that can be purchased upon exercise, including any right to receive payments of principal, premium or interest on the underlying debt securities or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture. Until any warrants to purchase preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock are exercised, holders of such warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying preferred stock, depositary shares or common stock, including any right to receive dividends or to exercise any voting rights.

Exercise of Warrants

      Each holder of a warrant is entitled to purchase the principal amount of debt securities or the number of shares of preferred stock, depositary shares or shares of common stock, as the case may be, at the exercise price described in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the day when the right to exercise terminates, or a later date if we extend the time for exercise, unexercised warrants will become void.

      A holder of warrants may exercise them by following the general procedure outlined below:

  •  delivering to the warrant agent the payment required by the applicable prospectus supplement to purchase the underlying security;
 
  •  properly completing and signing the reverse side of the warrant certificate representing the warrants; and
 
  •  delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to the warrant agent, or other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, within five business days of the warrant agent receiving payment of the exercise price.

      If you comply with the procedures described above, your warrants will be considered to have been exercised when the warrant agent receives payment of the exercise price. After you have completed those procedures, we will, as soon as practicable, issue and deliver to you the debt securities, preferred stock,

36


Table of Contents

depositary shares or common stock that you purchased upon exercise. If you exercise fewer than all of the warrants represented by a warrant certificate, the warrant agent will issue to you a new warrant certificate for the unexercised amount of warrants. Holders of warrants will be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with transferring the underlying securities in connection with the exercise of the warrants.

Amendments and Supplements to Warrant Agreements

      We may amend or supplement a warrant agreement without the consent of the holders of the applicable warrants if the changes are not inconsistent with the provisions of the warrants and do not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the warrants. We, along with the warrant agent, may also modify or amend a warrant agreement and the terms of the warrants if a majority of the then outstanding unexercised warrants affected by the modification or amendment consent. However, no modification or amendment that accelerates the expiration date, increases the exercise price, reduces the majority consent requirement for any such modification or amendment, or otherwise materially adversely affects the rights of the holders of the warrants may be made without the consent of each holder affected by the modification or amendment.

Common Stock Warrant Adjustments

      Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the exercise price of, and the number of shares of common stock covered by, a warrant for common stock will be adjusted in the manner set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement if certain events occur, including:

  •  if we issue common stock as a dividend or distribution on the common stock;
 
  •  if we subdivide, reclassify or combine the common stock;
 
  •  if we issue rights or warrants to all holders of common stock entitling them to purchase common stock at less than the current market price, as defined in the warrant agreement for such series of common stock warrants;
 
  •  if we distribute to all holders of common stock evidences of our indebtedness or our assets, excluding certain cash dividends and distributions referred to above; or
 
  •  any other event described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

      Except as stated above, the exercise price and number of shares of common stock covered by a common stock warrant will not be adjusted if we issue common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock, or securities carrying the right to purchase common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.

      Holders of common stock warrants may have additional rights under the following circumstances:

  •  a reclassification or change of the common stock;
 
  •  a consolidation, merger or share exchange involving our company; or
 
  •  a sale or conveyance to another corporation of all or substantially all of our property and assets.

      If one of the above transactions occurs and holders of our common stock are entitled to receive stock, securities, other property or assets, including cash, with respect to or in exchange for common stock, the holders of the common stock warrants then outstanding will be entitled to receive upon exercise of their common stock warrants the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property that they would have received upon the reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale or conveyance if they had exercised their common stock warrants immediately before the transaction.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL SECURITIES

      The following section describes the general terms and provisions of the capital securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the capital securities offered by any ONB Trust and the extent to which any of these general provisions do not apply to its capital securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that ONB Trust and its capital securities.

      The capital securities will represent undivided beneficial ownership interests in the assets of an ONB Trust. The holders of the capital securities of an ONB Trust will be entitled to a preference over holders of the common securities of such ONB Trust in certain circumstances with respect to distributions and amounts payable on redemption or liquidation. Holders of capital securities will also have certain other benefits as described in the corresponding trust agreement.

      Old National has summarized selected provisions of the capital securities and each trust agreement below. This summary is not complete. The form of trust agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. You should read the form of trust agreement for provisions that may be important to you. You should also consider applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act. Each of the ONB Trusts is a legally separate entity, and the assets of one are not available to satisfy the obligations of the other.

General

      The capital securities of a ONB Trust will rank equally, and payments on the capital securities will be made pro rata, with the common securities of that ONB Trust except as described under “— Subordination of Common Securities.” Legal title to the junior subordinated debentures issued to an ONB Trust will be held by the property trustee in trust for the benefit of the holders of the capital securities of that ONB Trust and for Old National as holder of the common securities of that ONB Trust. Each guarantee agreement Old National executes for the benefit of the holders of an ONB Trust’s capital securities will be a guarantee on a junior subordinated basis with, but will not guarantee payment of distributions or amounts payable on redemption or liquidation of, such capital securities if the ONB Trust does not have funds available to make such payments. See “Description of Guarantees.”

Distributions

      Distributions on the capital securities will be cumulative, will accumulate from the date of original issuance and will be payable on the dates specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, in the event that any date on which distributions are payable on the capital securities is not a business day, payment of the distribution will be made on the next succeeding day that is a business day (without any interest or other payment in respect of the delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the originally specified date. However, if the next business day is in the next calendar year, payment of distributions will be made on the preceding business day. Each date on which distributions are payable is referred to in this prospectus as a distribution date. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, business day means a day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed.

      The distributions on each capital security will be payable at a rate specified in the prospectus supplement for that capital security. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the amount of distributions payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Distributions to which holders of capital securities are entitled will accumulate interest at the rate per annum specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Distributions on capital securities as used in this prospectus includes these additional distributions unless otherwise stated.

      Funds available to each ONB Trust for distribution to holders of its capital securities will be limited to payments it receives from Old National under the junior subordinated debentures it owns. Each ONB Trust will invest the proceeds from the issuance and sale of its common securities and capital securities in the

38


Table of Contents

corresponding junior subordinated debentures, and it will have no other assets. See “Description of Junior Subordinated Debentures.” If Old National does not make interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures held by an ONB Trust, the property trustee will not have funds available to pay distributions on the capital securities of that ONB Trust.

      Old National may defer interest on any series of junior subordinated debentures for a specified number of consecutive interest payment periods. See “Description of Junior Subordinated Debentures — Option to Defer Interest Payment Date.” If Old National defers interest payments on the corresponding junior subordinated debentures held by an ONB Trust, the ONB Trust will defer payments on its capital securities.

      Distributions on the capital securities will be payable to the holders as they appear on the register of the ONB Trust on the relevant record dates, which, unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, will be the fifteenth calendar day prior to the relevant distribution date. Subject to any applicable laws and regulations and to the provisions of the applicable trust agreement, each distribution payment will be made as described under “Global Securities.”

Payment of Expenses

      Pursuant to the indenture under which the junior subordinated debentures will be issued, which is referred to in this section as the “junior subordinated debenture indenture,” Old National has agreed to pay all debts and obligations (other than distributions on the common securities and capital securities) and all costs and expenses of the ONB Trusts and to pay any and all taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges (other than United States withholding taxes) imposed by the United States or any other taxing authority. This includes, but is not limited to, all costs and expenses relating to the organization of the ONB Trusts, the fees and expenses of the property trustee, the Delaware trustee and the administrators and all costs and expenses relating to the operation of the ONB Trusts. As a result, the net amounts received and retained by an ONB Trust after paying these fees, expenses, debts and obligations will be equal to the amounts the ONB Trust would have received and retained had no fees, expenses, debts and obligations been incurred by or imposed on it. Old National’s promise to pay these obligations is for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, any creditor to whom the fees, expenses, debts and obligations are owed, whether or not the creditor has received notice of the obligation. Any creditor may enforce these obligations directly against Old National, and Old National has agreed to irrevocably waive any right or remedy that would otherwise require that any creditor take any action against the ONB Trust or any other person before proceeding against Old National. Old National will execute such additional agreements as may be necessary to give full effect to these promises.

Redemption or Exchange

 
Mandatory Redemption

      If Old National repays or redeems, in whole or in part, any junior subordinated debentures that have been issued to an ONB Trust, whether at maturity or earlier, the proceeds from the repayment or redemption will be applied by the property trustee to redeem a like amount of the capital securities and the common securities of that ONB Trust. The property trustee will give you at least 30 but no more than 60 days notice, and the redemption price will be equal to the sum of:

  •  the aggregate liquidation amount of the capital securities and common securities being redeemed; plus
 
  •  accumulated but unpaid distributions on to the redeemed capital securities and common securities to the date of redemption; plus
 
  •  the related amount of the premium, if any, that Old National pays upon the concurrent redemption of corresponding junior subordinated debentures.

See “Description of Junior Subordinated Debentures — Redemption.”

      If Old National is repaying or redeeming less than all the junior subordinated debentures of a series held by an ONB Trust on a redemption date, then the proceeds from the repayment or redemption will be

39


Table of Contents

allocated to redeem the capital securities and common securities issued by that ONB Trust, pro rata. The amount of premium, if any, that Old National pays to redeem all or any part of any series of junior subordinated debentures held by an ONB Trust will also be allocated pro rata to the redemption of the capital securities and common securities issued by that ONB Trust.

      Old National will have the right to redeem any series of junior subordinated debentures:

  •  on the terms described under “Description of Junior Subordinated Debentures — Redemption;” or
 
  •  as may be otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 
Distribution of Junior Subordinated Debentures

      Old National has the right to terminate an ONB Trust at any time and, after satisfaction of any liabilities to creditors of that ONB Trust as provided by applicable law, to cause the junior subordinated debentures owned by that ONB Trust to be distributed to the holders of the capital securities and common securities in liquidation of that ONB Trust. This may require the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

      After the liquidation date fixed for any distribution of junior subordinated debentures to the holders of any series of capital securities:

  •  that series of capital securities will no longer be deemed to be outstanding;
 
  •  The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee, as the record holder of the capital securities, will receive a registered global certificate or certificates representing the junior subordinated debentures to be delivered in the distribution;
 
  •  Old National shall use its reasonable efforts to list the junior subordinated debentures on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange, interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization as the capital securities are then listed; and
 
  •  any certificates representing that series of capital securities not held by DTC or its nominee will be deemed to represent the junior subordinated debentures having a principal amount equal to the stated liquidation amount of that series of capital securities, bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid distributions on that series of capital securities until the certificates are presented to the administrators or their agent for transfer or reissuance.

      Old National cannot predict the market prices for the junior subordinated debentures that may be distributed in exchange for capital securities. It is possible that the junior subordinated debentures that an investor receives on termination and liquidation of an ONB Trust may trade at a lower price than the investor paid to purchase the capital securities.

 
Redemption and Exchange Procedures

      Any capital securities that are redeemed on any redemption date will be redeemed with the proceeds received by the ONB Trust from the contemporaneous redemption of the junior subordinated debentures held by that ONB Trust. Redemptions of the capital securities will be made and the redemption price will be payable on each redemption date only to the extent that the related ONB Trust has cash on hand available for the payment of such redemption price. See also “— Subordination of Common Securities.”

      If an ONB Trust gives a notice of redemption in respect of its capital securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the redemption date, the property trustee will deposit irrevocably with DTC funds sufficient to pay the applicable redemption price to the extent funds are available. The property trustee will give DTC irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders of such capital securities. If the capital securities are no longer in book-entry form, the property trustee, to the extent funds are available, will irrevocably deposit with the paying agent for the capital securities funds sufficient to pay the applicable redemption price and will give the paying agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the

40


Table of Contents

redemption price to the holders of the capital securities upon surrender of the certificates evidencing their capital securities.

      Except as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, in the event that any date fixed for redemption of capital securities is not a business day, then payment of the redemption price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any delay). However, if the next business day is in the next calendar year, the redemption price will be payable on the preceding business day. In the event that payment of the redemption price in respect of capital securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the ONB Trust or by Old National pursuant to the guarantee as described under “Description of Guarantees,” then:

  •  distributions on those capital securities will continue to accrue at the then applicable rate from the redemption date originally established by the ONB Trust for those capital securities to the date the redemption price is actually paid; and
 
  •  the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the redemption price.

      If an ONB Trust redeems less than all of its capital securities and common securities, then the aggregate liquidation amount of capital securities and common securities to be redeemed will be allocated pro rata between the capital securities and the common securities based upon their respective aggregate liquidation amounts. The property trustee will select the capital securities to be redeemed from among the outstanding capital securities not previously called for redemption not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. The property trustee may use any method of selection it deems to be fair and reasonable.

      Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of capital securities or common securities to be redeemed at the holder’s registered address.

      Unless Old National defaults in payment of the redemption price on the junior subordinated debentures, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the junior subordinated debentures called for redemption and distributions will cease to accrue on the capital securities to be redeemed.

      If notice of redemption has been given and funds deposited as required, then upon the date of such deposit all rights of the holders of the capital securities called for redemption will cease, except the right to receive the redemption price, but without interest on the redemption price, and the capital securities will cease to be outstanding.

Subordination of Common Securities

      Payment of distributions on, and the redemption price of, each ONB Trust’s capital securities and common securities, as applicable, generally shall be made pro rata based upon their respective aggregate liquidation amounts. However, if on any distribution date or redemption date a default with respect to any junior subordinated debenture held by an ONB Trust, which we refer to as a debenture default, has occurred and is continuing, then:

  •  we will not pay any distribution on, or the redemption price of, any of the ONB Trust’s common securities, and we will not make any other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of the common securities, unless

  •  all accumulated and unpaid distributions on all of the ONB Trust’s outstanding capital securities are paid in full in cash for all distribution periods terminating on or prior to any payment on the common securities, and
 
  •  in the case of a payment of the redemption price, the full amount of the redemption price on all of the ONB Trust’s outstanding capital securities then called for redemption shall have been paid or provided for, and

41


Table of Contents

  •  all funds available to the property trustee will first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all distributions on, or the redemption price of, the ONB Trust’s capital securities then due and payable.

      In the case of any debenture default with respect to any junior subordinated debentures held by an ONB Trust, Old National (as holder of the ONB Trust’s common securities) will be deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to the debenture default under the applicable trust agreement until the effect of all debenture defaults with respect to the capital securities has been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until any debenture defaults under the applicable trust agreement with respect to the capital securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the property trustee is required to act solely on behalf of the holders of the capital securities and not on Old National’s behalf as holder of the ONB Trust’s common securities, and only the holders of the capital securities will have the right to direct the property trustee to act on their behalf.

Liquidation Distribution upon Termination

      Each ONB Trust will, pursuant to its trust agreement, automatically terminate upon the expiration of its term or upon the first to occur of:

  •  specified events relating to Old National’s bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation;
 
  •  Old National’s written direction to the property trustee, as depositor, to dissolve the ONB Trust and distribute the corresponding junior subordinated debentures to the holders of the capital securities in exchange for the capital securities (which direction is optional and wholly within Old National’s discretion as depositor);
 
  •  the redemption of all of the ONB Trust’s capital securities; and
 
  •  the entry of an order for the dissolution of the ONB Trust by a court of competent jurisdiction.

      If an early termination occurs for any reason other than the redemption of all of the capital securities and common securities, the ONB Trust will be liquidated by the property trustee as expeditiously as the issuer trustees determine to be possible. Except as provided in the next sentence, the issuer trustees will distribute (after satisfaction of any liabilities to creditors of such ONB Trust as provided by applicable law) to the holders of such capital securities and common securities a like amount of the corresponding junior subordinated debentures. However, if such a distribution is determined by the property trustee not to be practical, the holders of the capital securities will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the ONB Trust available for distribution to holders (after satisfaction of any liabilities to creditors of the ONB Trust as provided by applicable law) a liquidation distribution in an amount equal to the aggregate of the liquidation amount plus accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of payment. If the liquidation distribution can be paid only in part because the ONB Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate liquidation distribution, then the amounts payable directly by the ONB Trust on its capital securities will be paid on a pro rata basis.

      As the holder of the ONB Trust’s common securities, Old National will be entitled to receive distributions upon any liquidation pro rata with the holders of its capital securities. However, if a debenture default relating to the junior subordinated debentures held by an ONB Trust has occurred and is continuing, that ONB Trust’s capital securities will have a priority over its common securities.

Trust Agreement Default; Notice

      A “trust agreement default” under each trust agreement will occur upon the occurrence of a debenture default with respect to the junior subordinated debentures issued under the junior subordinated debenture indenture to the ONB Trust. For a description of the events that constitute a debenture default (i.e., a default under the junior subordinated debenture indenture), see “Description of Junior Subordinated Debentures — Defaults and Events of Default.”

      Within 90 days after learning of the occurrence of any trust agreement default, the property trustee is required to transmit notice of the trust agreement default to the holders of the ONB Trust’s capital securities,

42


Table of Contents

to the administrators and to Old National, as depositor, unless the trust agreement default has been cured or waived.

      Under the trust agreement, the holder of the common securities will be deemed to have waived any trust agreement default relating to the common securities until all trust agreement defaults relating to the capital securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until all trust agreement defaults relating to the capital securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the property trustee will be acting solely on behalf of the holders of the capital securities. Only the holders of the capital securities will have the right to direct the property trustee with respect to act on their behalf.

Removal of Issuer Trustees

      Old National as the holder of the common securities of an ONB Trust may remove either issuer trustee at any time, unless a trust agreement default has occurred and is continuing. If a trust agreement default has occurred and is continuing, the property trustee and the Delaware trustee may be removed by the holders of a majority in liquidation amount of the outstanding capital securities of that ONB Trust. In no event will the holders of the capital securities have the right to vote to appoint, remove or replace the administrators; that right belongs exclusively to Old National as the holder of the common securities. No resignation or removal of an issuer trustee and no appointment of a successor trustee will be effective until the successor trustee accepts its appointment in accordance with the provisions of the applicable trust agreement.

Merger or Consolidation of Issuer Trustees

      Any corporation into which the property trustee or the Delaware trustee that is not a natural person 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 trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such trustee, shall be the successor of such trustee under each trust agreement, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible.

Mergers, Consolidations, Conversions, Amalgamations or Replacements of the ONB Trusts

      An ONB Trust may not merge or consolidate with or into, convert into, amalgamate or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any corporation or other person, except as described below, as described in “— Liquidation Distribution upon Termination” or as described in an applicable prospectus supplement. An ONB Trust may, at Old National’s request and, without the consent the holders of its capital securities, merge or consolidate with or into, convert into, amalgamate or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any state; provided, that:

  •  the successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of the obligations of the ONB Trust with respect to its capital securities or (b) substitutes for the capital securities other successor securities having substantially the same terms as the capital securities so long as the successor securities rank the same as the capital securities rank in priority with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise;
 
  •  Old National expressly appoints a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the property trustee as the holder of the corresponding junior subordinated debentures;
 
  •  the successor securities are listed, or any successor securities will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other organization on which the capital securities are then listed, if any;
 
  •  the merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the capital securities (including any successor securities) to be downgraded by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization;

43


Table of Contents

  •  the merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the capital securities (including any successor securities) in any material respect;
 
  •  the successor entity has a purpose substantially similar to that of the ONB Trust;
 
  •  prior to the merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the property trustee has received an opinion from independent counsel to the ONB Trust experienced in such matters to the effect that:

  •  the merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the capital securities (including any successor securities) in any material respect,
 
  •  following the merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the ONB Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and
 
  •  following the merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the ONB Trust or the successor entity will continue to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes; and

  •  Old National or any permitted successor or assignee owns all of the common securities of the successor entity and guarantees the obligations of the successor entity under the successor securities at least to the extent provided by the guarantee.

      Notwithstanding the general provisions described above, an ONB Trust may not, except with the consent of holders of 100% in liquidation amount of the capital securities, merge with or into, consolidate, convert into, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the ONB Trust or the successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

Voting Rights; Amendment of Each Trust Agreement

      Except as described below and under “Description of Guarantees — Amendments and Assignment” and under “— Mergers, Consolidations, Conversions, Amalgamations or Replacement of the ONB Trusts” and as otherwise required by applicable law, the holders of the capital securities will have no voting rights.

      Each trust agreement may be amended from time to time by Old National and the property trustee, without the consent of the holders of the capital securities:

  •  to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provisions in the trust agreement that may be inconsistent with any other provision, or to address matters or questions arising under the trust agreement in a way which is consistent with the other provisions of the trust agreement; or
 
  •  to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the trust agreement if necessary to ensure that the ONB Trust will be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust or to ensure that the ONB Trust will not be required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.

However, in each of the preceding cases, the action must not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of capital securities and common securities. Any amendment of the trust agreement will become effective when Old National gives notice of the amendment to the holders of the capital securities and common securities.

44


Table of Contents

      Each trust agreement may be amended by Old National and the property trustee with:

  •  the consent of holders representing not less than a majority (based upon liquidation amounts) of the outstanding capital securities and common securities; and
 
  •  receipt by the property trustee of an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the issuer trustees in accordance with the amendment will not affect the ONB Trust’s status as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or the ONB Trust’s exemption from status as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act.

      However, without the consent of each holder of capital securities and common securities, no amendment may:

  •  change the amount or timing of any distribution on the capital securities and common securities or otherwise adversely affect the amount of any distribution required to be made in respect of the capital securities and common securities as of a specified date;
 
  •  change the redemption dates, events or prices or the liquidation distribution amounts or events; or
 
  •  restrict the right of a holder of capital securities and common securities to sue for the enforcement of any distribution payment.

      So long as any junior subordinated debentures are held by the property trustee, the issuer trustees are not permitted to:

  •  direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee under the indenture, or execute any trust or power conferred on the property trustee with respect to the junior subordinated debentures;
 
  •  waive any past default that is waivable under the indenture governing the junior subordinated debentures;
 
  •  exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the junior subordinated debentures shall be due and payable; or
 
  •  give a required consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the indenture, the applicable securities resolution or the junior subordinated debentures

unless, in each case, they first obtain the approval of the holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of all outstanding capital securities. However, where the indenture requires the consent of each affected holder of junior subordinated debentures, the property trustee cannot give the consent without first obtaining the consent of each holder of the capital securities. The property trustee cannot revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the holders of the capital securities except by subsequent vote of the holders of the capital securities.

      In addition to obtaining approval of the holders of the capital securities as described above, the issuer trustees are required to obtain an opinion of counsel to the effect that the proposed action will not cause the ONB Trust to be classified as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

      Any required approval of holders of capital securities may be given either at a meeting of holders of capital securities or pursuant to a written consent. The property trustee must notify record holders of capital securities of any meeting in the manner set forth in each trust agreement.

      No vote or consent of the holders of capital securities will be required for an ONB Trust to redeem and cancel its capital securities in accordance with the applicable trust agreement.

      Whenever holders of capital securities are entitled to vote or consent under any of the circumstances described above, neither Old National nor the issuer trustees will be permitted to vote. For purposes of any vote or consent, any of the capital securities that Old National or the issuer trustees own (or that are owned by their respective affiliates) will be treated as if they were not outstanding.

45


Table of Contents

Payment and Paying Agency

      The depositary for the capital securities will make payments in respect of the capital securities by crediting the relevant accounts at the depositary on the applicable distribution dates. If any capital securities of an ONB Trust are not held by the depositary, then the paying agent will mail checks to registered holders of the capital securities as their addresses appear on its register. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the paying agent shall initially be the property trustee and any co-paying agent chosen by the property trustee and acceptable to the administrators and to Old National. The paying agent can resign upon 30 days’ written notice to the property trustee and to Old National. If the property trustee resigns as paying agent, the property trustee will appoint a bank or trust company acceptable to the administrators to act as paying agent.

Registrar and Transfer Agent

      Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the property trustee will act as registrar and transfer agent for the capital securities.

      Each ONB Trust will register transfers of its capital securities without charge, but will require payment of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange. The ONB Trusts will not register transfers of their capital securities after the relevant capital securities are called for redemption.

Information Concerning the Property Trustee

      The property trustee undertakes to perform only the duties that are specifically set forth in each trust agreement, other than during the continuance of a trust agreement default. After a trust agreement default, the property trustee is required to exercise the same degree of care and skill as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the property trustee has no obligation to exercise any of its powers under the applicable trust agreement at the request of any holder of capital securities unless it is offered reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur by doing so. If no trust agreement default has occurred and is continuing and the property trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action, construe ambiguous provisions in the applicable trust agreement or is unsure of the application of any provision of the applicable trust agreement, then Old National will have the right to tell the property trustee which action to take unless the matter is one on which holders of capital securities are entitled to vote. If Old National doesn’t give any directions, the property trustee will take whatever action it deems advisable and in the best interests of the holders of the capital securities and common securities. The property trustee will have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct.

Miscellaneous

      The property trustee and the administrators are authorized and directed to operate the ONB Trusts in such a way that:

  •  no ONB Trust will be:

  •  deemed to be an “investment company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act or
 
  •  taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes; and

  •  the junior subordinated debentures will be treated as Old National’s indebtedness for United States federal income tax purposes.

      Holders of the capital securities have no preemptive or similar rights.

      No ONB Trust may borrow money or issue debt or mortgage or pledge any of its assets.

DESCRIPTION OF GUARANTEES

      When capital securities and common securities are issued by an ONB Trust, Old National will execute and deliver a guarantee agreement for the benefit of the holders of the capital securities of that ONB Trust. The guarantee agreement will be qualified as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association will act as guarantee trustee under each guarantee for the purposes of compliance with the Trust Indenture Act, and will hold the guarantee for the benefit of the holders of the related ONB Trust’s capital securities.

      Old National has summarized certain provisions of the guarantees below. This summary is not complete. The form of the guarantee agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and you should read the guarantee agreement for provisions that may be important to you. Reference in this summary to capital securities means that ONB Trust’s capital securities to which a guarantee relates.

General

      Old National will irrevocably and unconditionally agree to pay the guarantee payments to the holders of the capital securities, as and when due, regardless of any defense, right of set-off or counterclaim that the ONB Trust may have or assert other than the defense of payment.

      The guarantee payments include the following, to the extent not paid by or on behalf of the related ONB Trust:

  •  any accumulated and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the capital securities, but only if and to the extent that the applicable ONB Trust has funds on hand available for the distributions at that time;
 
  •  the redemption price with respect to any capital securities called for redemption, if and to the extent that the applicable ONB Trust has funds on hand available to pay the redemption price at that time; or
 
  •  upon a voluntary or involuntary termination, winding up or liquidation of an ONB Trust (unless the corresponding junior subordinated debentures are distributed to the holders of the capital securities), the lesser of:

  •  the liquidation distribution; and
 
  •  the amount of assets of the applicable ONB Trust remaining available for distribution to holders of capital securities.

      Old National’s obligation to make a guarantee payment may be satisfied either by Old National’s direct payment of the required amounts to the holders of the applicable capital securities or by causing the ONB Trust to pay them.

      Each guarantee will be an irrevocable guarantee on a junior subordinated basis of the related ONB Trust’s obligations in respect of the capital securities, but will apply only to the extent that the related ONB Trust has funds sufficient to make the required payments. If Old National does not make interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures held by an ONB Trust, the ONB Trust will not be able to pay distributions on its capital securities.

Status of the Guarantees

      Each guarantee will constitute Old National’s unsecured obligation and will rank equally with the junior subordinated debentures and subordinate and junior in right of payment to all senior debt of Old National to the same extent as the junior subordinated debentures. See “Description of Junior Subordinated Debentures — Subordination.”

47


Table of Contents

      Each guarantee in respect of an ONB Trust will rank equally with all other guarantees Old National issues relating to capital securities issued by other ONB Trusts. Each guarantee will constitute a guarantee of payment and not of collection, which means that the guaranteed party may institute a legal proceeding directly against Old National as the guarantor to enforce its rights under the guarantee without first suing anyone else. Each guarantee will be held for the benefit of the holders of the related capital securities.

Amendments and Assignment

      Except with respect to any changes which do not adversely affect the rights of holders of the related capital securities in any material respect (in which case no vote will be required), no guarantee may be amended without the prior approval of the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate liquidation amount of the related outstanding capital securities. The manner of obtaining any required approval will be as set forth under “Description of Capital Securities — Voting Rights; Amendment of Each Trust Agreement.” All guarantees and agreements contained in each guarantee agreement will bind Old National’s successors, assigns, receivers, trustees and representatives and will benefit the holders of the related capital securities then outstanding.

Termination of the Guarantees

      Each guarantee will terminate upon full payment of the redemption price of the related capital securities, upon full payment of the amounts payable upon liquidation of the related ONB Trust or upon distribution of corresponding junior subordinated debentures to the holders of the related capital securities. Each guarantee will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any holder of the related capital securities must restore payment of any sums paid under the capital securities or the guarantee.

Events of Default

      An event of default will occur under a guarantee agreement if:

  •  Old National defaults in its payment obligations under the guarantee agreement; or
 
  •  Old National defaults on some other obligation under the guarantee agreement and that default remains unremedied for 30 days.

      The holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the related capital securities have the right:

  •  to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the guarantee trustee in respect of the guarantee agreement; or
 
  •  to direct the exercise of any power conferred upon the guarantee trustee under the guarantee agreement.

      Any holder of the capital securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against Old National to enforce the guarantee trustee’s rights under the guarantee agreement without first instituting a legal proceeding against the ONB Trust, the guarantee trustee or anyone else.

      Holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the related capital securities also have the right to waive any past event of default and its consequences.

      As guarantor, Old National is required to file annually with the guarantee trustee a certificate stating whether or not Old National is in compliance with all the conditions and covenants applicable to Old National under the guarantee agreement.

Information Concerning the Guarantee Trustee

      The guarantee trustee will perform only the duties that are specifically set forth in each guarantee agreement, other than during the occurrence and continuance of a default by Old National in performance of any guarantee. After Old National defaults and while the default continues, the guarantee trustee must exercise the same degree of care and skill as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or

48

her own affairs. Subject to this provision and so long as no default under the applicable guarantee agreement has occurred and is continuing, the guarantee trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by any guarantee agreement at the request of any holder of any capital securities unless it is offered reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur by doing so.

RELATIONSHIP AMONG THE CAPITAL SECURITIES,

THE CORRESPONDING JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
AND THE GUARANTEES

Full and Unconditional Guarantee

      Old National will irrevocably and unconditionally agree to make the guarantee payments described under “Description of Guarantees.” Taken together, Old National’s obligations under each series of junior subordinated debentures, the junior subordinated debenture indenture, the related trust agreement and the related guarantee agreement provide, in the aggregate, a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payments of distributions and other amounts due on the related series of capital securities. No single document standing alone or operating in conjunction with fewer than all of the other documents constitutes the full and unconditional guarantee. It is only the combined operation of these documents that has the effect of providing a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of the ONB Trust’s obligations under the capital securities. See “The ONB Trusts,” “Description of Capital Securities,” and “Description of Junior Subordinated Debentures.”

      If and to the extent that Old National does not make payments on any series of corresponding junior subordinated debentures, the ONB Trust will not pay distributions or other amounts due on its capital securities. The guarantees do not cover payment of distributions when the related ONB Trust does not have sufficient funds to pay the distributions. In the event that Old National fails to make an interest payment on a series of junior subordinated debentures when due (i.e., after taking into account any deferral of interest in accordance with the provisions of that series of junior subordinated debentures), the remedy for a holder of the capital securities issued by that trust is to institute a legal proceeding directly against Old National for enforcement of payment of the distributions to such holder.

Sufficiency of Payments

      As long as Old National makes payments when due on each series of junior subordinated debentures, those payments will be sufficient to cover distributions and other payments due on the related capital securities. This is because:

  •  the aggregate principal amount of each series of junior subordinated debentures will be equal to the sum of the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the related capital securities and related common securities;
 
  •  the interest rate and interest and other payment dates on each series of junior subordinated debentures will match the distribution rate and distribution and other payment dates for the related capital securities;
 
  •  Old National, as issuer of the junior subordinated debentures, has promised to pay any and all costs, expenses and liabilities of each ONB Trust except the ONB Trust’s obligations under its capital securities; and
 
  •  each trust agreement provides that the ONB Trust will not engage in any activity that is not consistent with the limited purposes of the ONB Trust.

      Old National has the right to set-off any payment Old National is otherwise required to make under the junior subordinated debenture indenture if and to the extent Old National has already made, or is concurrently making, a payment under the related guarantee agreement.

49


Table of Contents

Enforcement Rights of Holders of Capital Securities

      A holder of any capital security may institute a legal proceeding directly against Old National to enforce its rights under the related guarantee agreement without first instituting a legal proceeding against the guarantee trustee, the related ONB Trust or anyone else.

Limited Purpose of ONB Trusts

      Each ONB Trust’s capital securities evidence undivided beneficial ownership interests in the assets of that ONB Trust, and each ONB Trust exists for the sole purposes of issuing its capital securities and common securities, investing the proceeds in junior subordinated debentures and engaging in only those other activities necessary or incidental to those purposes. A principal difference between the rights of a holder of a capital security and a holder of a corresponding junior subordinated debenture is that the holder of a junior subordinated debenture is entitled to receive from Old National the principal amount of, and interest accrued on, the junior subordinated debentures while the holder of a capital security is entitled to receive distributions from the ONB Trust, or from Old National under the applicable guarantee agreement, if and to the extent the ONB Trust has funds available for the payment of the distributions.

Rights upon Termination

      Upon any voluntary or involuntary termination of any ONB Trust involving the liquidation of the junior subordinated debentures held by that ONB Trust, after satisfaction of creditors of the ONB Trust as provided by applicable law, the holders of the related capital securities will be entitled to receive the liquidation distribution in cash out of the assets of the ONB Trust. See “Description of Capital Securities — Liquidation Distribution upon Termination.” If Old National becomes subject to any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or bankruptcy, the property trustee, as holder of the corresponding junior subordinated debentures, would be one of Old National’s junior subordinated creditors. The property trustee would be subordinated in right of payment to all of Old National’s other liabilities to the extent described in the junior subordinated debenture indenture, but it would be entitled to receive payment in full of principal and interest before Old National’s stockholders receive payments or distributions. Old National is the guarantor under each guarantee agreement and pursuant to the junior subordinated debenture indenture, as borrower, has agreed to pay all costs, expenses and liabilities of each ONB Trust (other than the ONB Trust’s obligations to the holders of its capital securities). Accordingly, in the event of Old National’s liquidation or bankruptcy, the position of a holder of capital securities and the position of a holder of corresponding junior subordinated debentures are expected to be substantially the same relative to Old National’s other creditors and to Old National’s stockholders.

GLOBAL SECURITIES

      Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, securities other than common stock will be issued in the form of one or more global certificates, or “global securities,” registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the depositary will be The Depository Trust Company, commonly referred to as DTC. DTC has informed us that its nominee will be Cede & Co. Accordingly, we expect Cede & Co. to be the initial registered holder of all securities that are issued in global form. No person that acquires a beneficial interest in those securities will be entitled to receive a certificate representing that person’s interest in the securities except as described herein or in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless and until definitive securities are issued under the limited circumstances described below, all references to actions by holders of securities issued in global form will refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions from its participants, and all references to payments and notices to holders will refer to payments and notices to DTC or Cede & Co., as the registered holder of these securities.

      DTC has informed us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds

50


Table of Contents

securities that DTC participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among DTC participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in DTC participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. DTC participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations, and may include other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of DTC’s participants and subsidiaries of DTCC as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, LLC and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and DTC participants are on file with the SEC.

      Persons that are not participants or indirect participants but desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interests in, securities may do so only through participants and indirect participants. Under a book-entry format, holders may experience some delay in their receipt of payments, as such payments will be forwarded by our designated agent to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. DTC will forward such payments to its participants, who will then forward them to indirect participants or holders. Holders will not be recognized by the relevant registrar, transfer agent, trustee or warrant agent as registered holders of the securities entitled to the benefits of our articles of incorporation or the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, trust agreement or guarantee. Beneficial owners that are not participants will be permitted to exercise their rights only indirectly through and according to the procedures of participants and, if applicable, indirect participants.

      Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and its operations as currently in effect, DTC will be required to make book-entry transfers of securities among participants and to receive and transmit payments to participants. DTC rules require participants and indirect participants with which beneficial securities owners have accounts to make book-entry transfers and receive and transmit payments on behalf of their respective account holders.

      Because DTC can act only on behalf of

  •  participants, who in turn act only on behalf of participants or indirect participants, and
 
  •  certain banks, trust companies and other persons approved by it,

the ability of a beneficial owner of securities issued in global form to pledge such securities to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system may be limited due to the unavailability of physical certificates for these securities.

      DTC has advised us that DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by a registered holder of any securities under our articles of incorporation or the relevant indenture, warrant agreement, trust agreement or guarantee only at the direction of one or more participants to whose accounts with DTC such securities are credited.

      Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, a global security will be exchangeable for the relevant definitive securities registered in the names of persons other than DTC or its nominee only if:

  •  DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for that global security or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act when DTC is required to be so registered;
 
  •  we execute and deliver to the relevant registrar, transfer agent, trustee and/or warrant agent an order complying with the requirements of the applicable indenture, trust agreement or warrant agreement that the global security will be exchangeable for definitive securities in registered form; or

51


Table of Contents

  •  there has occurred and is continuing a default in the payment of any amount due in respect of the securities or, in the case of debt securities, an event of default or an event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an event of default with respect to these debt securities.

Any global security that is exchangeable under the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for securities registered in such names as DTC directs.

      Upon the occurrence of any event described in the preceding paragraph, DTC is generally required to notify all participants of the availability of definitive securities. Upon DTC surrendering the global security representing the securities and delivery of instructions for re-registration, the registrar, transfer agent, trustee or warrant agent, as the case may be, will reissue the securities as definitive securities, and then such persons will recognize the holders of such definitive securities as registered holders of securities entitled to the benefits of our articles or the relevant indenture trust agreement and/or warrant agreement.

      Redemption notices will be sent to Cede & Co. as the registered holder of the global securities. If less than all of a series of securities are being redeemed, DTC will determine the amount of the interest of each direct participant to be redeemed in accordance with its then current procedures.

      Except as described above, the global security may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or to a successor depositary we appoint. Except as described above, DTC may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any beneficial interest in a global security evidencing all or part of any securities unless the beneficial interest is in an amount equal to an authorized denomination for these securities.

      The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we and the ONB Trusts believe to be accurate, but we assume no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. None of Old National, the ONB Trusts, the trustees, any registrar and transfer agent or any warrant agent, or any agent of any of them, will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of DTC’s or any participant’s records relating to, or for payments made on account of, beneficial interests in a global security, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.

      Secondary trading in notes and debentures of corporate issuers is generally settled in clearing-house or next-day funds. In contrast, beneficial interests in a global security, in some cases, may trade in the DTC’s same-day funds settlement system, in which secondary market trading activity in those beneficial interests would be required by DTC to settle in immediately available funds. There is no assurance as to the effect, if any, that settlement in immediately available funds would have on trading activity in such beneficial interests. Also, settlement for purchases of beneficial interests in a global security upon the original issuance of this security may be required to be made in immediately available funds.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

      We and the trusts may sell the securities offered by this prospectus to or through underwriters or dealers, through agents, directly to one or more purchasers or through a combination of methods. No commission will be payable and no discount will be allowed on any sales we or our affiliates make directly.

      Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 and any discounts or commissions received by them from us and any profit on the resale of the offered securities by them may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any underwriters or agents, who may include ONB Investment Services, Inc., will be identified and their compensation, including any underwriting discount or commission, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement will also describe other terms of the offering, including the initial public offering price, any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and any securities exchanges on which the offered securities may be listed. The maximum discount or commission that may be received by any member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (commonly referred to as the “NASD”) for sales of securities pursuant to this prospectus will not exceed 8.00%.

Table of Contents

      The distribution of the securities offered under this prospectus may occur from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

      In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with such a transaction, the third parties may sell securities covered by and pursuant to this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. If so, the third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from us to close out any related short positions.

      In connection with an offering of securities, underwriters may purchase and sell these securities in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover short positions created by underwriters with respect to the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases for preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities; and short positions created by underwriters involve the sale by underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase from us in the offering. Underwriters also may impose a penalty bid, by which selling concessions allowed to broker-dealers in respect of the securities sold in the offering may be reclaimed by underwriters if such securities are repurchased by underwriters in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market; and these activities, if commenced, may be discontinued without notice at any time.

      We may determine the price or other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement how any auction will be conducted to determine the price or any other terms of the securities, how potential investors may participate in the auction and, where applicable, the nature of the underwriters’ obligations with respect to the auction.

      If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, we or an ONB Trust will authorize dealers or our agents to solicit offers by institutions to purchase offered securities from us under contracts that provide for payment and delivery on a future date. We or an ONB Trust must approve all institutions, but they may include, among others:

  •  commercial and savings banks;
 
  •  insurance companies;
 
  •  pension funds;
 
  •  investment companies; and
 
  •  educational and charitable institutions.

      The institutional purchaser’s obligations under the contract will only be subject to the condition that the purchase of the offered securities at the time of delivery is allowed by the laws that govern the purchaser. The dealers and our agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of the contracts.

      We and the ONB Trusts may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make as a result of those certain civil liabilities.

      When we or an ONB Trust issue the securities offered by this prospectus, except for shares of common stock or debt securities issued upon a reopening of an existing series of debt securities, they may be new securities without an established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market. If we or an ONB Trust sell a security offered by this prospectus to an underwriter for public offering and sale, the underwriter may make a market for that security, but the underwriter will not be obligated to do so and could discontinue any market making without notice at any time. Therefore, we cannot give any assurances to you concerning the liquidity of any security offered by this prospectus.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

      Chapter 23-1-37 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the “IBCL”) gives corporations the power to indemnify officers and directors under certain circumstances.

      The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the Registrant will indemnify, under certain circumstances, any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Registrant or of any other corporation for which he is or was serving in any capacity at the request of the Corporation against all liability and expense that may be incurred by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding against them.

      Additionally, under the IBCL, a director of the Registrant will not be liable to shareholders for any action taken as a director, or any failure to take any action, unless (1) the director has breached or failed to perform his duties as a director in good faith with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner the director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation; and (2) such breach or failure to perform constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness.

      The Registrant also has policies insuring its officers and directors against certain liabilities for action taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

      See “Item 17. Undertakings” for a description of the SEC’s position regarding the indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Item 17. Undertakings.

      a. Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:

        (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% 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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

        (2) That, for the purposes 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 therein, 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. Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes 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 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, 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 each registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each of the registrants has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such 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, such registrant will, unless in the opinion of its 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

      d. Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes that:

        (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon

II-3


Table of Contents

  Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be a part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
        (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      e. Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of said Act.

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. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of

-11-

any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1406.

Without limiting the generality of this Section 104, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, a Holder, including a Depository that is a Holder of a global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depository that is a Holder of a global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such global Security through such Depository's standing instructions and customary practices.

The Trustee may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any global Security held by a Depository entitled under the procedures of such Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) The ownership of Registered Securities and the principal amount and serial numbers of Registered Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

-12-

(d) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary reasonably acceptable to the Company, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Company and the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Company and the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (i) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (ii) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (iii) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (iv) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Company and the Trustee deem sufficient.

(e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of any Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of Registered Securities 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 action, 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 of Registered Securities on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

(f) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action 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 or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

SECTION 106. Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any event,

(b) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other city or cities, if any, as may be specified in such Securities and, if the Securities of such series are then listed on any stock exchange outside the United States, in an Authorized Newspaper in such city as the Company shall advise the Trustee that such stock exchange so requires, on a Business Day at least twice, the first such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and the second such publication to be not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice.

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 of a Registered Security 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. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of

-14-

Registered Securities by mail then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

In case 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 any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

SECTION 107. Language of Notices, etc.

legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(b) No provision of this Indenture or of any Security or coupon shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest or any Additional Amounts in excess of the maximum which is not prohibited by law. If any such excess interest is provided for herein or in any Security or coupon, which shall be adjudicated to be so provided for, then the Company shall not be obligated to pay such interest or Additional Amounts in excess of the maximum not prohibited by law until such time, if any, as it shall become legal to do so.

SECTION 114. Legal Holidays.

Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in 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 a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officers' Certificate and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

SECTION 302. Currency; Denominations.

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any Registered Securities of a series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, and any Bearer Securities of a series shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000.

SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, its President or one of its Senior Vice Presidents, and attested by its Treasurer or Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. Coupons shall bear the facsimile signature of the Treasurer of the Company.

Securities and 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 on the date(s) such Securities were issued.

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 to the Trustee for authentication, together with the Board Resolution and Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or other instrument with respect to such Securities referred to in Sections 201 and 301 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If all the Securities of any series are not 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 Securities hereunder, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

(a) an Opinion of Counsel stating substantially to the effect that,

-22-

(1) the form and terms of such Securities and coupons, if any, or the manner of determining such terms, have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

(2) such Securities and coupons, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by general equity principles; and

(b) an Officers' Certificate stating, to the best knowledge of each signer of such certificate, that no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate such Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and Officers' Certificate at the time of issuance of each such Security, but such opinion and certificate shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such global Security or Securities, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depository for such global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's instruction, and
(iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect (or to such other effect as may be specified in the document authorizing such series of Securities or as the Depository, the Trustee and the Company may agree): "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in certificated form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository."

-23-

Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security and any temporary Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301.

No Security or coupon appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 202 or 613 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers. Such an executed certificate of authentication upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Except as permitted by
Section 306 or 307, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and canceled.

SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 303, temporary Securities of such series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form.

Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of such definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series containing identical terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series containing identical terms and provisions; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security, except as provided pursuant to Section 301, shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in or pursuant to this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to a temporary global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

-24-

SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

With respect to the Registered Securities, if any, of each series of Securities, the Company shall cause to be kept at an office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 1002 a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Securities of each series and of transfers of the Registered Securities of each series. Such office or agency shall be the "Security Registrar" for the Registered Securities, if any, of each series of Securities. In the event that the Trustee shall not be the Security Registrar with respect to a particular series of Securities, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times. Unless otherwise provided with respect to a series of Securities in a supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or other instrument authorizing such series of Securities, Bank One, NA, is hereby appointed Security Registrar for each series until a successor has been appointed by a Board Resolution or an instrument executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, President or one of its Senior Vice Presidents and delivered to the Trustee.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that series pursuant to Section 1002, 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.

At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series (except a global Security representing all or a portion of such series) may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the 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 that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of such series may be exchanged for Registered Securities or Bearer Securities (if Bearer Securities of such series are issuable in more than one denomination) of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Company maintained for such series, with all unmatured coupons and 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, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee 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

-25-

of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer 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 for such series 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 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 (or, if such coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such coupon shall be returned to the person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, shall 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 shall be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

If expressly provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of such series may be exchanged for Bearer Securities upon such terms and conditions as may be provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to such series.

Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any global Security shall be exchangeable for certificated Securities only if (i) the Depository is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in writing, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global Security shall be so exchangeable, (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of the same series, or (iv) in the case of a global Security representing Bearer Securities, upon the written request of a beneficial owner of an interest in such global Security given to the Depository. If the beneficial owners of interests in a global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for certificated Securities of such series, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee certificated Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series as, containing identical terms as and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of, such global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the U.S. Depository (or

-26-

such other Depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto) to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for certificated Securities as described above, without charge, in accordance with instructions (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officers' Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) given by the Company to the Trustee and such U.S. Depository or other Depository, as the case may be. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of certificated Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such global Security to be exchanged, which (unless such Securities are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for the global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which the Securities are issuable, as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) 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 for redemption of the same series and containing identical terms and ending on the relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further, that (unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to the U.S. Depository or such other Depository referred to above, as the case may be, in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above, with an endorsement thereon to reflect the decrease in the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a global Security after the close of business at the office or agency for such Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

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

-27-

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection for redemption of Securities of like tenor and the same series under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business (A) if Securities of the series are issuable only as Registered Securities, on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if Securities of the series are issuable as Bearer Securities, on the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if Securities of the series are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption, except, to the extent provided with respect to such Bearer Security, that such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of like tenor and the same series, provided that such Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for redemption with written instruction for payment consistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security that, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.

SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions 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 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 or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request 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 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.

-28-

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, pay such Security or coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of and any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency for such Securities located outside the United States.

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 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, 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 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 and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights Preserved.

Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to 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 and any interest on any Bearer Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid upon surrender of the coupon appertaining thereto in respect of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, in case a Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security after the close of business at an office or agency for such Security on any Regular Record Date therefor and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date therefor, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall 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 and any Additional Amounts with respect to any

-29-

Registered Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in subsection (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities affected (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 such Registered Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this subsection 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, United States first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of such Registered Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities (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 subsection (b). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency for such Security 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 shall not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security

-30-

issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on such Registered Securities 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 subsection (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

At the option of the Company, interest on Registered Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States or by any other means permitted in the form of Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.

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. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner and Holder of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Registered Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company 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 Trustee and any agent of the Company 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 any payment with respect to such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No owner of any beneficial interest in any global Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner and Holder of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the

-31-

Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

SECTION 309. Cancellation.

All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, 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, as well as Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver 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 canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All canceled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practices, subject to applicable law.

SECTION 310. Computation of Interest.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(b) The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 401 or Section 1010 or pursuant to a supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to

(e) an event of default, as defined in any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any Indebtedness for money borrowed of the Company (including a default under this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series other than that series), whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, shall happen and shall result in a principal amount in excess of $25,000,000 of Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, and such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled, or such Indebtedness shall not have been discharged, within a period of 15 days after there has been given, by registered or certified United States mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such event of default and requiring the Company to cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled or to cause such Indebtedness to be discharged and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or

SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, if an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(f) or (g)), then, and in every such case, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof of all of the Securities of that series) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or such specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501 (f) or (g) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then, and in every such case, the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

At any time after such acceleration with respect to Securities of any series and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if:

-37-

(a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay

(1) all overdue installments of any interest on and Additional Amounts payable in respect of all Securities of that series and any coupons appertaining thereto,

(2) the principal of and any premium on any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by reason of such acceleration and interest thereon and Additional Amounts with respect thereto at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities,

(3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and

(4) 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

(b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which has become due solely by reason of such 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

(a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security or any coupon appertaining thereto when such interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any Security at its Maturity,

the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of all Securities which are of the same series as such Security and any coupons appertaining thereto, the whole amount of money then due and payable with respect to such Securities and coupons for

-38-

principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and upon any overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such series of Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount of money as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and coupons and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and coupons, 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 such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by acceleration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of any series, of principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto 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 of Securities and coupons allowed in such judicial proceeding relative to the Company upon the Outstanding Securities, its creditors, or its property, and

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same;

-39-

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 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 of Securities and coupons, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security 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 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, any premium, interest or Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be, 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 607;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and any coupons for principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts 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 any premium, interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and

THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.

SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits.

Subject to Section 508, no Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupons shall have any right to institute any action or 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

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

(e) 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 aggregate 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 or any Security 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 of such Holders.

SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and any Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts.

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) any interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Security, or payment of such coupon, as the case may be, on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities thereof 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 such Holder, on the date such repayment is due) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

-41-

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 Trustee and the Holders of Securities or 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 such 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 of Securities or coupons 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 a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series,provided that

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

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

SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security or coupon by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant (other than the Company and the Trustee) in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this

SECTION 515. 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.

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

(b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

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

-48-

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.

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, may remove such Trustee with respect to all Securities as to which it is Trustee or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of any series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

-49-

(e) 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, 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) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section
611. 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 aggregate 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 in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

SECTION 611. 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 so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company 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 hereunder of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company 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 hereunder of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such

-50-

successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 607.

(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 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 as co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, and each such successor Trustee without any other 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 or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the 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.

(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company 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 subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.

-51-

(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 612. 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 without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 613. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents acceptable to 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 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 subject to the approval of the Company and 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, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $5,000,000 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 to 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.

-52-

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 any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee 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 may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall (i) mail written notice of such appointment by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, and (ii) if Securities of the series are issued as Bearer Securities, publish notice of such appointment at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the place where such successor Authenticating Agent has its principal office if such office is located outside the United States. 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, including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this Section.

The provisions of Sections 308, 604 and 605 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

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 alternative certificate of authentication substantially in the following form:

COVENANTS

SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal and any Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts.

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of each series that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of, the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such series of Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Any interest due on and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of Bearer Securities on or before the Maturity thereof, other than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1004 in respect of

-63-

principal of or any premium on such a Security, shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature.

SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series (but not Bearer Securities, except as otherwise provided below, unless such Place of Payment is located outside the United States) 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, and the Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and its New York Facility as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company shall maintain, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series which is located outside the United States where Securities of such series and any related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1004), 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; provided, however, that if the Securities of such series are listed on The Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of such series in London, or any other required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of such series are listed on such exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or the New York Facility of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and any 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 1004) at the place specified for the purpose pursuant to Section 301.

Except as otherwise provided in the form of Bearer Security of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, no payment of principal, or any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of 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 an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, that payment of principal of and any premium or interest (including Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof) on any Bearer Security may be made in Dollars at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States

-64-

maintained for such 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 of 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 shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise set forth in, or pursuant to, a Board Resolution or any indenture supplemental hereto with respect to a series of Securities issuable as Registered Securities, the Company hereby designates as Places of Payment for each series of Securities issuable as Registered Securities the City of Columbus, Ohio and the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoints the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and its New York Facility as Paying Agent and as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust.

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of and any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

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

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

(a) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture;

-65-

(b) 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 the principal of, any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of that series; and

(c) 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, discharge or defeasance of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the 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 otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any particular series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for one year after such principal and any premium or interest or Additional Amounts has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request along with interest, if any, that has been accumulated thereon or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security or any coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment of such principal, premium or interest, without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series or to be mailed to Holders of Registered Securities of such series, or both, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 1004. Additional Amounts.

If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts to the Holders of such Securities, then the Company shall pay to each Holder of such Securities or any coupon appertaining thereto the Additional Amounts as provided therein. Whenever there is mentioned in this Indenture, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for by the terms of such series pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in

-66-

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 provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities (or if the Securities of such series shall not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company's principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee or the Company, with an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of such series shall be made to Holders of Securities of such series or any related coupons who are United States Aliens without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of such series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities or coupons and the Company shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 1005. Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Certain Defaults.

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a written statement, which need not comply with Section 102, signed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company, as to his or her knowledge of the Company's compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture. For purposes of this
Section 1005, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.

(b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within five days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default pursuant to Section 501.

SECTION 1007. Limitation on Liens.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume or incur, or suffer or permit to exist, any Lien of any kind, as security for borrowed money so long as any of the Securities or coupons appertaining thereto shall remain Outstanding, upon the shares of capital stock of any Significant Subsidiary without effectively providing prior to or concurrently therewith that the Securities shall be secured equally and ratably with or prior to the indebtedness or other obligations secured by such Mortgage.

SECTION 1008. Limitation on Sale of Stock.

The Company will not, and will not permit any Significant Subsidiary to, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, and will not permit any Significant Subsidiary to issue (other than to the Company), any capital stock of any such Significant Subsidiary or securities convertible into, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or to purchase, any capital stock of any such Significant Subsidiary, except:

(a) sales or other dispositions of the shares of capital stock of a Significant Subsidiary made to an individual for the purpose of qualifying such individual to serve as a director of such Significant Subsidiary; or

(b) sales or other dispositions of shares of the capital stock of a Significant Subsidiary for cash consideration that is at least equal to the fair market value thereof (as determined by the Board of Directors) if, after giving effect thereto and assuming conversion of any convertible securities, the Company will continue to own not less than 80% of each class of capital stock of such Significant Subsidiary; or

(c) sales or other dispositions of shares of the capital stock of a Significant Subsidiary made in connection with a merger or consolidation, if, after giving effect to such merger or consolidation, the Company's or any such Significant Subsidiary's proportionate ownership share in the resulting or surviving entity is not less than its proportionate ownership share in such Significant Subsidiary immediately prior to such merger or consolidation; or

(d) sales or other dispositions of shares of the capital stock of a Significant Subsidiary made in compliance with a final order of a court or regulatory authority of competent jurisdiction; or

(e) sales or other dispositions of shares of the capital stock of a Subsidiary made by any Significant Subsidiary to the Company.

The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 1006 and 1007 and any covenant not currently included in this Indenture but specified as applicable to a series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, with respect to the Securities of any series if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of 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 any 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 duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 1010. Defeasance of Certain Obligations.

(b) such deposit shall not cause the Trustee with respect to the Securities of that series to have a conflicting interest for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series;

(c) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument relating to the

-69-

(d) no Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with respect to Securities of that series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(e) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance of certain obligations and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred;

(f) if the Securities of such series are to be redeemed, either notice of such redemption shall have been given or the Company shall have given the Trustee irrevocable direction to give notice of such redemption in the name and at the expense of the Company, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee; and

(g) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied with.

(g) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case;

(h) 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 date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless

-72-

security or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and any Paying Agent is furnished;

(i) 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 the Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be made; and

(j) the CUSIP number (or any other numbers used by a Depository to identify such Securities), if any, of the Securities to be redeemed.

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 except 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 sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued interest on and Additional Amounts in respect of, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 1104, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest 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 any accrued interest (and any Additional Amounts) 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 upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest (at an office or agency located outside the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002), and provided, further, 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,

-73-

or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates or Special Record Dates, as the case may be, 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 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 any interest (and any Additional Amounts) represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency for such Security located outside of the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal, any premium, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the interest required to be paid thereon shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 1002 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Security in global form is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the U.S. Depository or other Depository for such Security in global form as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, without service charge, a new Security in global form in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so surrendered.

ARTICLE TWELVE

SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the sinking fund, if any, 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 Securities of such series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment." If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the 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.

The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (i) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption) together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto, and (ii) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such 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;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 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 any series of Securities (or such shorter notice as the Trustee may approve), the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering or crediting Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1202, the basis for any such crediting and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not theretofore delivered. If such Officers' Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory

-75-

sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 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 1106 and 1107.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

SECTION 1301. Applicability of Article.

Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series. The repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 309, shall not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such Securities be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Thirteen, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or before the close of business on the repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price payable by the Company on repayment of such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay the repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment is so paid by such purchasers.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

SECTION 1401. Purposes for Which Meetings May Be Called.

If Securities of a series are issuable, in whole or in part, as Bearer Securities, a meeting of Holders of Securities of such series may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to this Article to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series.

-76-

SECTION 1402. Call, Notice and Place of Meetings.

(a) The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series for any purpose specified in Section 1401, to be held at such time and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or in such other place outside the United States as the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given, in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 21 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

(b) In case at any time the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of the Holders of Securities of such series for any purpose specified in Section 1401, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series in the amount above specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in subsection (a) of this Section.

SECTION 1403. Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings.

To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person shall be (i) a Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series, or (ii) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series by such Holder or Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel.

SECTION 1404. Quorum; Action.

The Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such series; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture or which the supplemental Indenture, Board Resolution or other instrument authorizing such series of Securities expressly provides may be made, given, or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage that is less or greater than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, then with respect to such action (and only such action), the Persons entitled to vote such

-77-

lesser or greater percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall constitute a quorum. 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. In the absence of a quorum at any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Section 1402(a), except that such notice need be given only once not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series which shall constitute a quorum with respect to each action to be considered at such meeting.

Except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution presented to a meeting duly convened or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series; provided, however, that, except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture or which the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or other instrument authorizing such series of Securities expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, that is less or greater than a majority, in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting duly convened or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series.

Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series and the related coupons, whether or not present or represented at the meeting.

SECTION 1405. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series in regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104 or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker

-78-

authorized by Section 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 1402(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 each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy.

(d) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1402 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate 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 1406. 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 triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to such record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1402 and, if applicable, Section 1404. 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

-79-

to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

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

Section 104. Acts of Holders.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by or pursuant to this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. If, but only if, Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities in whole or in part, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by or pursuant to 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 Fourteen 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

10

the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1406.

Without limiting the generality of this Section 104, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, a Holder, including a Depository that is a Holder of a global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depository that is a Holder of a global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interests in any such global Security through such Depository's standing instructions and customary practices.

The Trustee may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are beneficial owners of interests in any global Security held by a Depository entitled under the procedures of such Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

11

(c) The ownership of Registered Securities and the principal amount and serial numbers of Registered Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.

(d) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary reasonably acceptable to the Company, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Company and the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Company and the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (i) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (ii) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (iii) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (iv) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Company and the Trustee deem sufficient.

(e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of any Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of Registered Securities 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 action, 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 of Registered Securities on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

(f) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action 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

12

of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Section 105. Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

(a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

(b) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to the attention of its Secretary at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

Section 106. Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any event,

(a) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Registered Securities if in writing and mailed by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security 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, and

(b) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other city or cities, if any, as may be specified in such Securities and, if the Securities of such series are then listed on any stock exchange outside the United States, in an Authorized Newspaper in such city as the Company shall advise the Trustee that such stock exchange so requires, on a Business Day at least twice, the first such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and the second such publication to be not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice.

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 of a Registered Security 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

13

provided herein. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of Registered Securities by mail then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

In case 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 any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.

Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Section 107. Language of Notices, etc.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that, if the Company so elects, any published notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

Section 108. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required to be a part of and govern this Indenture, such required provision shall control.

Section 109. 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 interpretation or construction hereof.

Section 110. Successors and Assigns.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not, and all rights of the Company hereunder shall inure to the benefit of such successors and assigns.

14

Section 111. Separability and Saving Clauses.

(a) In case any provision in this Indenture or in any Security or coupon shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, either wholly or partially, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(b) No provision of this Indenture or of any Security or coupon shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest or any Additional Amounts in excess of the maximum which is not prohibited by law. If any such excess interest is provided for herein or in any Security or coupon, which shall be adjudicated to be so provided for, then the Company shall not be obligated to pay such interest or Additional Amounts in excess of the maximum not prohibited by law until such time, if any, as it shall become legal to do so.

Section 112. Benefits of Indenture.

Nothing in this Indenture or in any Security or coupon, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their respective successors and assigns hereunder, and the Holders of Securities or coupons, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Section 113. Governing Law.

This Indenture and the Securities and coupons, including the validity thereof, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana.

Section 114. Legal Holidays.

In any case where any Maturity or Stated Maturity of any Security, or any installment of principal thereof or any premium or interest thereon or any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities or coupons other than a provision in the Securities or coupons of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of principal or any premium or interest or Additional Amounts with respect to such Security 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 at the Maturity or Stated Maturity, and no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Maturity or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 115. No Recourse Against Others.

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, or in any supplemental Indenture, or in any Security or coupon, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such, or against any

15

past, present or future shareholder, director, officer or employee, as such, of the Company, or of any successor or predecessor of the Company, either directly or through the Company or any successor or predecessor, under any law, statute, rule, regulation, constitutional provision, order or decree or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable action or proceeding or otherwise. By accepting a Security, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability of any such incorporator, shareholder, director, officer or employee. Such waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, its President or one of its Senior Vice Presidents, and attested by its Treasurer or Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. Coupons shall bear the facsimile signature of the Treasurer of the Company.

Securities and 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 on the date(s) such Securities were issued.

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 to the Trustee for authentication, together with the Board Resolution and Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or other instrument with respect to such Securities referred to in Sections 201 and 301 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the provisions hereof shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If all the Securities of any series are not 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 Securities hereunder, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon,

(a) an Opinion of Counsel stating substantially to the effect that,

(1) the form and terms of such Securities and coupons, if any, or the manner of determining such terms, have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

(2) such Securities and coupons, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by general equity principles; and

(b) an Officers' Certificate stating, to the best knowledge of each signer of such certificate, that no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time

21

would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate such Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and Officers' Certificate at the time of issuance of each such Security, but such opinion and certificate shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such global Security or Securities, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depository for such global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's instruction, and
(iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect (or to such other effect as may be specified in the document authorizing such series of Securities or as the Depository, the Trustee and the Company may agree): "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in certificated form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository."

Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security and any temporary Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301.

No Security or coupon appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 202 or 613 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers. Such an executed certificate of authentication upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Except as permitted by
Section 306 or 307, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and canceled.

22

Section 304. Temporary Securities.

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 303, temporary Securities of such series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form.

Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of such definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series containing identical terms and provisions upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series containing identical terms and provisions; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security, except as provided pursuant to Section 301, shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in or pursuant to this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to a temporary global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

With respect to the Registered Securities, if any, of each series of Securities, the Company shall cause to be kept at an office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 1002 a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Securities of each series and of transfers of the Registered Securities of each series. Such office or agency shall be the "Security Registrar" for the Registered Securities, if any, of each series of Securities. In the event that the Trustee shall not be the Security Registrar with respect to a particular series of Securities, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times. Unless otherwise provided with respect to a series of Securities in a supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or other instrument authorizing such series of Securities, J. P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, is hereby appointed Security Registrar for each series until a successor has been

23

appointed by a Board Resolution or an instrument executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, President or one of its Senior Vice Presidents and delivered to the Trustee.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that series pursuant to Section 1002, 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.

At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series (except a global Security representing all or a portion of such series) may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the 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 that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of such series may be exchanged for Registered Securities or Bearer Securities (if Bearer Securities of such series are issuable in more than one denomination) of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Company maintained for such series, with all unmatured coupons and 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, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee 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 and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer 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 for such series 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 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 (or, if such coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such coupon shall be returned to the person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, shall 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

24

Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

If expressly provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of such series may be exchanged for Bearer Securities upon such terms and conditions as may be provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to such series.

Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any global Security shall be exchangeable for certificated Securities only if (i) the Depository is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depository and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in writing,
(ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global Security shall be so exchangeable, (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of the same series, or (iv) in the case of a global Security representing Bearer Securities, upon the written request of a beneficial owner of an interest in such global Security given to the Depository. If the beneficial owners of interests in a global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for certificated Securities of such series, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee certificated Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series as, containing identical terms as and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of, such global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the U.S. Depository (or such other Depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto) to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for certificated Securities as described above, without charge, in accordance with instructions (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officers' Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) given by the Company to the Trustee and such U. S. Depository or other Depository, as the case may be. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of certificated Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such global Security to be exchanged, which (unless such Securities are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for the global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which the Securities are issuable, as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) 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 for redemption of the same series and containing identical terms and ending on the relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further, that (unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location

25

in the United States. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to the U.S. Depository or such other Depository referred to above, as the case may be, in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above, with an endorsement thereon to reflect the decrease in the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a global Security after the close of business at the office or agency for such Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the next Interest Payment Date; or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar therefor 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 or redemption 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 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection for redemption of Securities of like tenor and the same series under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business (A) if Securities of the series are issuable only as Registered Securities, on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if Securities of the series are issuable as Bearer Securities, on the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if Securities of the series are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption, except, to the extent provided with respect to such Bearer Security, that such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of like tenor and the same series, provided that such Registered Security shall be immediately

26

surrendered for redemption with written instruction for payment consistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security that, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so repaid.

Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions 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 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 or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request 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 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.

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, pay such Security or coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of and any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency for such Securities located outside the United States.

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 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, 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 and their coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

27

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 and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights Preserved.

Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to 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 and any interest on any Bearer Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid upon surrender of the coupon appertaining thereto in respect of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, in case a Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security after the close of business at an office or agency for such Security on any Regular Record Date therefor and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date therefor, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall 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 and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in subsection (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities affected (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 such Registered Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this subsection 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

28

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, United States first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of such Registered Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Registered Securities (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 subsection (b). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency for such Security 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 shall not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on such Registered Securities 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 subsection (b), such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

At the option of the Company, interest on Registered Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States or by any other means permitted in the form of Securities of any particular series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture.

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.

29

Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner and Holder of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Registered Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company 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 Trustee and any agent of the Company 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 any payment with respect to such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

No owner of any beneficial interest in any global Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner and Holder of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 309. Cancellation.

All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, 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, as well as Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver 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 canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All canceled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practices, subject to applicable law.

30

Section 310. Computation of Interest.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

ARTICLE FOUR

Failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph shall result in the termination of the benefits of the discharge established by this Section 401.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to a series of Securities, the obligations with respect to the right of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of such series provided for herein, the obligations of the Company under the preceding paragraph, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607 and, if money and/or Government Obligations shall have been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive.

REMEDIES

Section 501. Events of Default.

"Event of Default," wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series (unless otherwise specified with respect to such series of Securities in the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or other instrument authorizing such series of Securities), means any one of the following events which has occurred and is continuing (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):

(a) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have entered a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary proceeding under any applicable United States bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of all or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(b) the Company shall have commenced a voluntary proceeding under any applicable United States bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall have consented to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall have consented to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of all or any substantial part of its property, or shall have made an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

(c) the Company shall have taken any corporate action in furtherance of any of the matters referred to in subsection (b) above; or

(d) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of such series in the supplemental indenture, Board Resolution or other instrument authorizing such series.

Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, if an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then, and in every such case, the principal amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

34

At any time after such acceleration with respect to Securities of any series and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if:

(a) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum of money sufficient to pay

(1) all overdue installments of any interest on and Additional Amounts payable in respect of all Securities of that series and any coupons appertaining thereto,

(2) the principal of and any premium on any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by reason of such acceleration and interest thereon and Additional Amounts with respect hereto at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities,

(3) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and

(4) 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

(b) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which has become due solely by reason of such 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

(a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security or any coupon appertaining thereto when such interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any Security at its Maturity,

35

the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of all Securities which are of the same series as such Security and any coupons appertaining thereto, the whole amount of money then due and payable with respect to such Securities and coupons for principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest upon any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and upon any overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such series of Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount of money as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

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, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and coupons and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and coupons, wherever situated.

If any default in the payments referred to in Section 1001 or 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 such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by acceleration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of any series, of principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto 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 of Securities and coupons allowed in such judicial proceeding relative to the Company upon the Outstanding Securities, its creditors, or its property, and

36

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities 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 of Securities, and coupons, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security 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 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, any premium, interest or Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be, 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 607;

SECOND: Subject to Article 15, to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and any coupons for principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts 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 any premium, interest and Additional Amounts, respectively; and

THIRD: Subject to Article 15, the balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.

Section 507. Limitation on Suits.

Subject to Section 508, no Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupons shall have any right to institute any action or 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

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

(b) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate 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;

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

(e) 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 aggregate 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 or any Security 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 of such Holders.

Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and any Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts.

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) any interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, such Security, or payment of such coupon, as the case may be, on the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities thereof 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 such Holder, on the date such repayment is due) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

38

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 Trustee and the Holders of Securities or 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 such 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 or default in the payments referred to in Section 1001 shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons 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 a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series, provided that

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture or with the Securities of such series;

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction;

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

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

Section 514. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security or coupon by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant (other than the Company and the Trustee) in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this
Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of a Security or coupon for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security, or the payment of any coupon, on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of a Holder, on or after the date such repayment is due) or interest on any overdue principal of any Security.

Section 515. 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

40

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.

For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.

As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien 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 any premium or interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect to, particular Securities or any coupons appertaining thereto.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

(d) If at any time:

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder of a Security, or

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, may remove such Trustee with respect to all Securities as to which it is Trustee or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of any series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

(e) 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, 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) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. 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 aggregate 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 in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, 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 required by Section 611, 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

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents acceptable to 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 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

48

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.

If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to 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 fling of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee 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 may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall (i) mail written notice of such appointment by United States first-class wail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, and (ii) if Securities of the series are issued as Bearer Securities, publish notice of such appointment at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the place where such successor Authenticating Agent has its principal office if such office is located outside the United States. 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.

49

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation, including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this Section.

The provisions of Sections 308, 604 and 605 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

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 of 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 shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities or coupons and the Company shall 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

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give such notice by mailing in the manner therein provided to the Holder of any Registered 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 given in the manner provided in Section 105 shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder of Securities receives the notice.

All notices of redemption shall state, to the extent applicable:

62

(a) the Redemption Date;

(c) 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;

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 except 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 sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) any accrued interest on and Additional Amounts in respect of, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.

Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 1104, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest 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 any accrued interest (and any Additional Amounts) 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 upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest (at an office or agency located outside the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, and provided, further, 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 Regular Record Dates or Special Record Dates, as the case may be, 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 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 any interest (and any Additional Amounts) represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency for such Security located outside of the United States except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal, any premium, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the interest required to be paid thereon shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

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, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee, by any Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment is segregated and held in trust) before all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any

71

indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, ratably according to the aggregate amount remaining unpaid on account of the principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on the Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

For purposes of this Article Fifteen, the words "cash, property or securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article Fifteen with respect to the Securities to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, that may at the time be outstanding, provided that
(i) such Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or termination of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article Eight shall not be deemed a termination, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 1503 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article Eight. Nothing in Section 1502 or in this Section 1503 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607.

Section 1504. Subrogation.

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the rights of the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article Fifteen, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article Fifteen to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of this Article Fifteen are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness on the other hand.

Nothing contained in this Article Fifteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors other than the

72

holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company, as the case may be, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under the Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article Fifteen of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article Fifteen, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such termination, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purposes of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Fifteen.

Section 1505. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

Each Holder of Securities by such Holder's acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder's behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article Fifteen and appoints the Trustee such Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

Section 1506. Notice by the Company.

The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article Fifteen. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Fifteen or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article Fifteen, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Section 601, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 1506 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary

73

notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purposes for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. 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 such Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Fifteen, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such 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 Fifteen, 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.

Section 1507. Rights of the Trustee; Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article Fifteen 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 deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article Fifteen, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Fifteen or otherwise.

Section 1508. Subordination May Not Be Impaired.

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company, or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the

74

Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article Fifteen or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of such Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company, as the case may be, and any other Person.

Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying

9

that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

(d) 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 or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

(e) The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series; provided, that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next succeeding paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect). Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date and the proposed action by Holders to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

The Trustee may set any date as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7, or (iv) any direction referred to in
Section 5.12, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect). Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall cause notice of such record date and the proposed action by Holders to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

10

SECTION 1.5 Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.

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,

(a) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration; provided, however, that such instrument will be considered properly given if submitted in an electronic format, i.e., by facsimile, e-mail or otherwise upon receipt by a Responsible Officer, or

(b) the Company 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 addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company; provided, however, that such instrument will be considered properly given if submitted by facsimile.

SECTION 1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture 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 1.7 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holders on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered Holders of this series of Securities not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

[At this point in the Security Form of any series of Floating or Adjustable Rate Securities, the text of the Floating or Adjustable Rate Provision relating thereto should be inserted.]

The Company shall have the right at any time during the term of the Securities and from time to time to defer the payment of interest of such Securities for up to [________] consecutive [quarterly] [semi-annual] interest payment periods (each, an "Interest Payment Deferral Period"), at the end of which period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid (together with Additional Interest thereon at the rate of [___]% per annum to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law); provided, that no such Interest Payment Deferral Period shall extend beyond the maturity of the Securities; and provided, further, that if the Company shall have provided notice of its election to begin any such Interest Payment Deferral Period and shall not have rescinded such notice, during such Interest Payment Deferral Period or any extension thereof the Company shall not (a) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of its capital stock, (b) make any payment of interest on or principal of (or premium, if any, on), or repay, repurchase or redeem, any debt securities issued by the Company which rank pari passu in all respects with or junior to the Securities, and (c) make any payments on any guarantee with respect to any debt securities of any of its subsidiaries to the extent such guarantee ranks pari passu in all respects with or junior to the Securities, provided, that the foregoing restrictions will not apply to (1) repurchases, redemptions or acquisitions of shares of common stock of the Company related to the issuance of common stock of the Company under any employment contract or benefit plan for the directors, officers or employees of the Company, (2) dividends or distributions payable in common stock of the Company, (3) payments under the Guarantee relating to the Capital Securities of the ONB Trust that holds the Securities of this series or (4) obligations of the Company under any dividend reinvestment plan or stock purchase plan. Before the termination of any Interest Payment Deferral Period, the Company may further extend such Interest Payment Deferral Period, provided, that such Interest Payment Deferral Period together with all such further extensions thereof shall not exceed [__] consecutive [quarterly] [semi-annual] interest payment periods. At the termination of any Interest Payment Deferral Period and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest then due, the Company may commence a new Interest Payment Deferral Period. No interest shall be due and payable during an Interest Payment Deferral Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Interest Payment Deferral shall accrue Additional Interest (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable) at the rate of
[___]% per annum, compounded [quarterly] [semiannually] and calculated as set forth in the first paragraph of this Security, from the dates on which amounts would otherwise have been due and payable until paid or made available for payment.

Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by, such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his or her acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt of the Company, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

This Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

The provisions of this Security are continued on the reverse side hereof and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though fully set forth at this place.

SECTION 2.3 Form of Reverse of Security.

This Security is one of a duly authorized series of securities of the Company (herein sometimes referred to as the "Securities"), specified in the Indenture, all issued or to be issued in one or more series under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of ______________ (the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered between the Company and J. P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities. By the terms of the Indenture, the Securities are issuable in series that may vary as to amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as provided in the Indenture. This series of Securities is limited in aggregate principal amount to $[_________].

[Following the occurrence and continuation of a Special Event, in certain circumstances, this Security may become due and payable at [___]% of the principal amount thereof, together with any interest accrued and unpaid thereon (the "Redemption Price"). The Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of such redemption or at such earlier time as the Company determines.]

[The Securities of this series are subject to redemption (1) on _________ in any year commencing with the year ____ and ending with the year _____ through operation of the sinking fund for this series at a Redemption Price of _____, (2) at any time [on or after ________, ____], as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to [___]% of the principal amount, together, in the case of any such redemption (whether through operation of the sinking fund or otherwise), with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Option Date; provided that interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. Any redemption pursuant to this paragraph will be made upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice to holders of Securities as provided in the Indenture. If the Securities are only partially redeemed by the Company, the Securities will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method utilized by the Trustee; provided, that if, at the time of redemption, the Securities are registered as a Global Security, the Depositary shall determine the principal amount of such Securities held by each Security Beneficial Owner to be redeemed in accordance with its procedures.]

[Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not, prior to ______, redeem any Securities of this series as contemplated by clause (2) of the preceding paragraph as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation by the application, directly or indirectly, of monies borrowed having an interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial practice) of less than ____% per annum.] [The sinking fund for this series provides for the redemption on _______ in each year beginning with the year _______ and ending with the year________ of [not less than] $_________ ("mandatory sinking fund") and not more than $__________ aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series. Securities of this series acquired or redeemed by the Company otherwise than through mandatory sinking

17

fund payments may be credited against subsequent mandatory sinking fund payments otherwise required to be made in the inverse order in which they become due.]

In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Securities shall become due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, subject to certain exceptions, the amendment thereof with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected at the time Outstanding (as defined in the Indenture). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding affected thereby, on behalf of all of the Holders of the Securities of such series, to waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture with respect to such series, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series. Any such consent or waiver by the registered Holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Security and of any Security issued in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Security at the time and place and at the rate and in the money herein prescribed.

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Security is transferable by the registered Holder hereof on the Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in the City and State of New York accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed by the registered Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount and series will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.

Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and the Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof

18

and premium, if any, and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

[The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $[___] and any integral multiple thereof.]
[This Global Security is exchangeable for Securities in definitive form only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the Indenture. Securities of this series so issued are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $[___] and any integral multiple thereof.] As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

The Company and, by its acceptance or acquisition of this Security or a beneficial interest herein, the Holder of, and any Person that acquires a direct or indirect beneficial interest herein, intend and agree to treat this Security as debt of the Company for United States Federal, state and local tax purposes and to treat the Capital Securities (including but not limited to all payments and proceeds with respect to the Capital Securities) as an undivided beneficial ownership interest herein (and payments and proceeds therefrom, respectively) for United States federal, state and local tax purposes.

All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

SECTION 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President or a Senior Vice President, [under its corporate seal reproduced thereon] attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

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

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, 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.

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 Securities of that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

SECTION 3.5 Global Securities.

(a) Each Global Security issued under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the Company for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises the Trustee in writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to continue as Depositary with respect to such Global Security, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that the Global Security will be exchangeable for Securities in definitive, registered form, or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default, or any event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a Default, in respect of the Securities of the applicable series.

(c) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or cancelled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Securities Registrar for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article III. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or cancelled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article III or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal

to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or cancelled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Trustee shall, subject to subsection (b) of this
Section 3.5 and as otherwise provided in this Article III, authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary. The Trustee shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.

(d) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article III or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

(e) Securities distributed to holders of Capital Securities in global form upon the termination of an ONB Trust following an Early Termination Event shall be distributed in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, and deposited with the Securities Registrar, as custodian for such Depositary, or with such Depositary, for credit by the Depositary to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of the Securities represented thereby (or such other accounts as they may direct). Securities distributed to holders of Capital Securities other than Capital Securities in global form upon the termination of an ONB Trust following an Early Termination Event shall not be issued in the form of a Global Security or any other form intended to facilitate book-entry trading in beneficial interests in such Securities.

(f) The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary.

(g) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and the Depositary and/or its Agent Members.

SECTION 3.6 Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security Register")

25

in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration and transfer of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for Securities of 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 Securities of like tenor of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of like tenor of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. 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.

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

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, 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 3.4, 9.6 or 11.7 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

SECTION 3.7 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

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

26

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

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

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

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

The provisions of this Section 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.

SECTION 3.8 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, except that unless otherwise provided in the Securities of such series, interest payable on the Stated Maturity of the principal of a Security shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial payment of interest on any Security of any series that is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security or in the Board Resolution pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to the related series of Securities.

Interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for (other than Deferred Interest) (herein called "Defaulted Interest"), on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder 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 (a) or (b) below:

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities)

27

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 Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the 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 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 so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written 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 in its sole discretion.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, 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. For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to participate in any distribution on the Securities in respect of which a Regular Record Date or a Special Record Date is not otherwise provided for in this Indenture, or for the purpose of any other action (unless provided for pursuant to Section 3.1), the Company may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of the payment of distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such purposes.

SECTION 3.9 Persons Deemed Owners.

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.8) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

28

SECTION 3.10 Cancellation.

All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, 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 shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Unless otherwise directed by a Company Order, delivery of which must be delivered in a timely manner to prevent such destruction, all cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by it, and, upon request, the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company.

SECTION 3.11 Interest.

(a) Each Security will bear interest at the rate established for the series of Securities of which such Security is a part pursuant to Section 3.1 (the "Interest Rate") from and including the original date of issuance of such Security until the principal thereof becomes due and payable, and on any overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest (including Deferred Interest and Defaulted Interest) at the Interest Rate, compounded each Interest Payment Period, payable (subject to the provisions of Article IV) on each Interest Payment Date commencing on the date established for the series of Securities of which such Security is a part pursuant to Section 3.1, to the Person in whose name such Security or any Predecessor Security is registered, at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment.

(b) Unless otherwise provided in respect of a series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 3.1, the amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and will include the first day but exclude the last day of such period. Unless otherwise provided in respect of a series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 3.1, in the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Securities of any series is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date.

SECTION 3.12 Shortening of Stated Maturity.

If specified as contemplated by Section 2.1 or Section 3.1 with respect to the Securities of a particular series, the Company shall have the right to shorten the Stated Maturity of the principal of the Securities of such series at any time to any date not earlier than the first date on which the Company has the right to redeem the Securities of such series. In the event that the Company elects to shorten the Stated Maturity of the Securities of such series, it shall given written notice to the Trustee.

29

SECTION 3.13 Right of Set-Off.

With respect to the Securities of a series initially issued to an ONB Trust, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have the right to set off any payment it is otherwise required to make in respect of any such Security to the extent the Company has theretofore made, or is concurrently on the date of such payment making, a payment under the Guarantee Agreement relating to such Security or to a holder of Capital Securities pursuant to an action undertaken under Section 5.8 of this Indenture.

SECTION 3.14 CUSIP Number.

The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption and other similar or related materials as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice or other materials 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 or other materials 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.

ARTICLE IV

ARTICLE V

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 5.1. 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):

(a) failure to pay in full interest accrued on any Securities of such series upon the conclusion of a period consisting of 20 consecutive quarters commencing with the earliest quarter for which interest (including interest accrued on deferred payments) has not been paid in full and continuance of such failure to pay for a period of 30 days; or

(b) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company 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

(c) the commencement by the Company 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 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 of any substantial part of its property, or the

32

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 in furtherance of any such action; or

(d) any other Event of Default provided with respect to the Securities of that series.

SECTION 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(d) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding 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 declare the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Securities of such series (or such other amount as may be specified by the terms of the Securities of that series) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, that in the case of Securities of a series issued to an ONB Trust, if, upon an Event of Default, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series fail to declare the principal of all the Outstanding Securities of such series to be immediately due and payable, the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the related series of Capital Securities issued by such ONB Trust then outstanding shall have the right to make such declaration by a notice in writing to the Company and the Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest (or other specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(b) or 5.1(c) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities of such series (or such other amount as may be specified by the terms of the Securities of that series) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. Payment of principal and interest on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in Article XIV notwithstanding that such amount shall become immediately due and payable as herein provided.

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 Securities representing a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series or, in the case of a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of a series issued to an ONB Trust, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the related series of Capital Securities issued by such ONB Trust then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

(i) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,

33

(ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,

(iii) all overdue sinking fund payments with respect to Securities of that series and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,

(iv) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, Additional Interest, and

(v) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel (including reasonable legal fees and expenses);

(b) all other Defaults with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13; and

(c) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of any governmental or regulatory authority.

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

SECTION 5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if:

(a) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,

(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, or

(c) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a Security of any series;

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and for any sinking fund payment and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any), on any overdue interest and on any overdue sinking fund payment, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor 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.

34

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 unpaid, may, in its discretion, prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

If a 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 by such appropriate judicial proceedings or other available remedy 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 5.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any), and interest and sinking fund payments 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

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.

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

35

SECTION 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery 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 in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 5.6. Application of Money Collected.

Subject to Article XIV, 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), interest or sinking fund payments, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7; and

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any), and interest on, and sinking fund payments with respect to, the Securities 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 amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any), and interest and sinking fund payments, respectively.

SECTION 5.7. Limitation on Suits.

No Holder of any Security of any series 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 such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Default with respect to the Securities of that series; 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 Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, against the costs, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and 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 all 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 of such Holders.

36

The following events shall be "Defaults" with respect to any series of Securities under this Indenture:

(a) an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series specified in Section 5.1; or

(b) default in the payment of interest upon any Security of such series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; it being understood that the occurrence of an Interest Payment Deferral Period in accordance with the terms of such Security will not constitute such a default; or

(c) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) any Security of that series when those payments are due and payable, whether at its Stated Maturity or upon acceleration or otherwise; or

(d) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of the Board Resolution establishing that series, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or

(e) 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 Indenture specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of Securities of any series other than such series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 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, 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

(f) any other Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.

SECTION 5.8. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest; Direct Action by Holders of Capital Securities.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption 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. In the case of Securities issued to an ONB Trust, any registered holder of the Capital Securities issued by such ONB Trust shall have the right, upon the occurrence of a Default described in Section 5.7(b) or 5.7(c), to institute a suit directly against the Company for enforcement of payment to such holder of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities having a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Capital Securities held by such holder.

37

SECTION 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee, any Holder or any holder of Capital Securities issued by an ONB Trust 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, such Holder or such holder of Capital Securities, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee, such Holder and such holder of Capital Securities shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee, such Holder and such holder of Capital Securities shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.7, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right 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 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee, any Holder of any Securities or any holder of Capital Securities issued by an ONB Trust to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee, the Holders or the holders of the Capital Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee, the Holders or the holders of the Capital Securities, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders.

The Holders of 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

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and

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

38

SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series and, in the case of any Securities initially issued to an ONB Trust, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Capital Securities issued by such ONB Trust, may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to the Securities of such series and its consequences, except a default

(a) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), or interest on, any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities, or

(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX 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 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 Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

ARTICLE VI

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 6.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) Except during the continuance of a Default:

39

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

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

(b) In case a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

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

(i) this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section;

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

(iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial 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 indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to it, against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

40

SECTION 6.2. Notice of Defaults.

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of any Default of the character specified in Section 5.7(e) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, a Default with respect to Securities of such series.

SECTION 6.3. Certain Rights of Trustee.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1:

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

(c) 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, conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

(d) the Trustee may consult with counsel 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;

(e) 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 pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity, reasonably satisfactory to it, against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

41

(f) 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, 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 shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; and

(g) 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.

SECTION 6.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 6.5. May Hold Securities.

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

SECTION 6.6. 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.

SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Reimbursement.

The Company agrees:

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents, nominees, custodians and

42

counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

(c) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(b) or 5.1(c) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 or any successor statute.

The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

SECTION 6.8. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

(a) The Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of said Section 310(b).

(b) The Trust Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement with respect to each ONB Trust shall be deemed to be specifically described in this Indenture for the purposes of clause (i) of the first proviso contained in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 6.9. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervision 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.

SECTION 6.10. 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 6.11.

43

(b) 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. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by
Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

(d) The Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities if at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act,

(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company, or

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

If no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company also may remove the Trustee without cause; provided, that the Company has provided the Trustee with three months advance notice of such removal.

(e) 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 a Board Resolution, 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) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. 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 in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, 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 and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of

44

himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 6.11. 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 so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company 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.

(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 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:

(i) 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,

(ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to the Securities of all series for which it is the Trustee hereunder, 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

(iii) 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

45

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 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.

(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company 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.

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions to act of any successor Trustee.

SECTION 6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all 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 shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

SECTION 6.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor of the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding collection of claims against the Company (or any other such obligor).

SECTION 6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents 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 exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid

46

and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of 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 shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as 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 authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said 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. If 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 any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and 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 may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 6.7.

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 an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

47

"This is one of the Securities of the series designated herein referred to in the within- mentioned Indenture.

[______________], As Trustee

By_____________________________ As Authenticating Agent

By_____________________________ Authorized Officer"

Section 8.1, the successor entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor corporation shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.

Such successor Person may cause to be executed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder that theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor Person instead of the Company and subject to all terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to such provisions and any Securities that such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be executed and delivered to the Trustee on its behalf for the purpose pursuant to such provisions. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

50

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease, such changes in phraseology and form may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

ARTICLE IX

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

SECTION 9.1. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders.

Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, when authorized by 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 satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

(b) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (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 one or more specified series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; or

(c) to add any additional Events of Default or Defaults for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such additional Events of Default or Defaults are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such additional Events of Default or Defaults are expressly being included solely for the benefit of one or more specified series); or

(d) 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

(e) to secure the Securities; or

(f) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1; or

(g) 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, pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.11(b); or

51

(h) 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 such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series or, in the case of the Securities of a series issued to an ONB Trust and for so long as any of the corresponding series of Capital Securities issued by such ONB Trust are outstanding, the holders of such Capital Securities, in any material respect; or

(i) to comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 9.2. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by 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 or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture. However, without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Security affected thereby, no such supplemental indenture shall

(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or change the currency in which any such amounts are payable, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon (including any change in the Floating or Adjustable Rate Provision pursuant to which such rate is determined that would reduce that rate for any period) or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any premium or the 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 modify the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the subordination of the Securities in a manner adverse to the Holders,

(b) modify this Indenture in any way that materially adversely affects the right of Holders to convert or exchange any Security,

(c) 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 (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture,

(d) with respect to Securities of a series issued to an ONB Trust, remove or impair the rights of any registered holder of Capital Securities to bring an action directly against the Company in the circumstance set forth in
Section 5.8; or

(e) modify any of the provisions of this Section or Section 5.13, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot

52

be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby;

provided, that if the Securities of such series are held by an ONB Trust or a trustee of such trust, such supplemental indenture shall not be effective until the holders of a majority in principal amount of Capital Securities of such ONB Trust shall have consented to such supplemental indenture; provided, further, that if the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Security of a series is required, such supplemental indenture shall not be effective until each holder of the Capital Securities of the applicable ONB Trust shall have consented to such supplemental indenture.

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 any corresponding Capital Securities of an ONB Trust that holds the Securities of such series, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series or the holders of such corresponding Capital Securities 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 or holders of Capital Securities of any other ONB Trust.

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.

SECTION 9.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) 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 9.4. 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 shall be bound thereby to the extent provided therein.

SECTION 9.5. 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.

53

SECTION 9.6. Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

ARTICLE X

COVENANTS

SECTION 10.1. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series and this Indenture, and will duly comply with all other terms, agreements and conditions contained in, or made in the Indenture for the benefit of, the Securities of such series.

SECTION 10.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities 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. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

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

SECTION 10.3. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the

54

Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or 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, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum 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 its action or 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:

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

(b) 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 (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series;

(c) 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; and

(d) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a 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 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.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for three years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, 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 a newspaper

55

published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, 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 10.4. Statement by Officers as to Default.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers' Certificate stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance, observance and fulfillment of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture, and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. For the purpose of this Section 10.4, compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.5. Covenants as to ONB Trusts.

(a) If at any time (i) there shall have occurred any event (A) of which the Company has actual knowledge that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a Default with respect to the Securities of such series, and (B) which the Company shall not have taken reasonable steps to cure, (ii) if the Securities of such series are held by an ONB Trust, the Company shall be in default with respect to its payment of any obligations under the Guarantee Agreement relating to the Capital Securities issued by such ONB Trust, or (iii) the Company shall have given notice of its election to begin an Interest Payment Deferral Period with respect to the Securities of such series as provided herein and shall not have rescinded such notice, or such Interest Payment Deferral Period, or any extension thereof, shall be continuing, the Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities of such series that it shall not:

(1) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the Company's capital stock;

(2) make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Securities of such series; or

(3) make any payment on any guarantee with respect to any debt securities of subsidiaries of the Company to the extent such guarantee ranks pari passu in all respect with or junior in interest to the Securities of such series.

The restrictions set forth in subsections (1) - (3) above will not apply to (a) repurchases, redemptions or acquisitions of shares of common stock of the Company related to the issuance of common stock of the Company under any employment contract or benefit plan for the directors, officers or employees of the Company, (b) dividends or distributions payable in common stock of the Company, (c) any payment obligations under any guarantee relating to the Capital

56

Securities of an ONB Trust holding the Securities of such series and (d) obligations of the Company under any dividend reinvestment plan or stock purchase plan.

(b) For so long as any Capital Securities of an ONB Trust remain outstanding, the Company also covenants that it will (i) maintain 100% direct or indirect ownership of the Common Securities of such ONB Trust; provided, however, that any permitted successor of the Company hereunder may succeed to the Company's ownership of such Common Securities, (ii) not voluntarily dissolve, wind up or liquidate such ONB Trust, except in connection with a distribution of Securities upon a Special Event, or in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations, (iii) use its reasonable efforts to cause such ONB Trust to (A) remain a statutory trust, except in connection with a distribution of Securities to the holders of Capital Securities as provided in the Trust Agreement of such ONB Trust, the redemption of all of the Capital Securities and in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the Trust Agreement of such ONB Trust, and (B) otherwise continue to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes and (iv) not knowingly take any action that would cause such ONB Trust to not be classified as a grantor trust.

SECTION 10.6. Payment of Expenses and Additional Amounts.

(a) In connection with the offering, sale and issuance of each series of Securities to the Property Trustee of an ONB Trust and in connection with the sale of Capital Securities by such ONB Trust, the Company, in its capacity as borrower with respect to such Securities, shall:

(i) pay all costs and expenses relating to the offering, sale and issuance of such Securities, including commissions to the underwriters payable pursuant to the applicable Underwriting Agreement and compensation of the Trustee under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.7;

(ii) pay all costs and expenses of such ONB Trust (including, but not limited to, costs and expenses relating to the organization of the trust, the offering, sale and issuance of the Capital Securities of such ONB Trust, the fees and expenses of the Issuer Trustees and the Administrators of such ONB Trust, the costs and expenses relating to the operation, maintenance and termination of such ONB Trust and the enforcement by such Property Trustee of the rights of the holders of the Capital Securities of such ONB Trust, including without limitation, costs and expenses of accountants, attorneys, statistical or bookkeeping services, expenses for printing and engraving and computing or accounting equipment, paying agent(s), registrar(s), transfer agent(s), duplicating, travel and telephone and other telecommunications expenses and costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition, financing, and disposition of assets of such ONB Trust);

(iii) be primarily liable for any indemnification obligations arising with respect to the Trust Agreement of such ONB Trust; and

57

(iv) pay any and all taxes (other than United States withholding taxes in respect of amounts paid on the Securities held by such ONB Trust) and all liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to such taxes of such ONB Trust.

(b) Upon termination of this Indenture or any series of Securities or the removal or resignation of the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.10, the Company shall pay to the Trustee all amounts accrued and owing to the Trustee to the date of such termination, removal or resignation. Upon termination of the Trust Agreement of any ONB Trust or the removal or resignation of the Delaware Trustee or the Property Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Trust Agreement of such ONB Trust, the Company shall pay to such Delaware Trustee or such Property Trustee, as the case may be, all amounts accrued and owing to such Delaware Trustee or such Property Trustee, as the case may be, to the date of such termination, removal or resignation.

(c) If, at any time an ONB Trust is required to pay any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding taxes) imposed by the United States or any other taxing authority, then the Company will pay such additional amounts on the Securities of such series as shall be required so that the net amounts received and retained by such ONB Trust after paying such taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges will be equal to the amounts such ONB Trust would have received had no such taxes, duties, assessments or other government charges been imposed (the "Additional Amounts"). Whenever in this Indenture or the Securities there is a reference in any context to the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payments of the Additional Amounts provided for in this paragraph to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 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; provided, however, that the deferral of the payment of interest pursuant to Article XIII or the Securities shall not defer the payment of any Additional Amounts that may be due and payable.

SECTION 10.7. Listing on an Exchange.

If Securities of any series are to be issued as a Global Security in connection with the distribution of such Securities to the holders of the Capital Securities of an ONB Trust upon an Early Termination Event with respect to such ONB Trust, the Company will use its best efforts to list such series of Securities on the securities exchange, if any, on which the Capital Securities of such ONB Trust are then listed.

ARTICLE XI

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 11.1. Applicability of Article.

Securities of each series are redeemable before their respective Stated Maturities in accordance with their respective terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by

58

Section 3.1 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. Any redemption of any series of Securities, in whole or in part, prior to their respective Stated Maturities shall be subject to receipt by the Company of prior written approval from the Regulator, if then required under applicable capital adequacy guidelines, regulations or policies of the Regulator.

SECTION 11.2. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 11.2 and to the other provisions of this Article XI, except as otherwise may be specified in this Indenture or, with respect to any series of Securities, as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series, the Company shall have the right to redeem any series of Securities, in whole or in part, from time to time, on or after the Redemption Option Date for such series at the Redemption Price. The election of the Company to redeem any Securities redeemable at the election of the Company shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company, the Company shall, at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company, notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and, if less than all of the Securities of such series are to be redeemed, of the principal amount of the Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

(b) If a partial redemption of any series of Securities would result in the delisting of the Capital Securities of the ONB Trust that purchased such Securities from any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Capital Securities of such ONB Trust are then listed, the Company shall not be permitted to effect such partial redemption and may only redeem such series of Securities in whole.

SECTION 11.3. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (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, that if at the time of redemption such Securities are registered as a Global Security, the Depositary shall determine, in accordance with its procedures, the principal amount of such Securities held by each Security Beneficial Owner to be redeemed.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

59

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

SECTION 11.4. Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date,

(b) the Redemption Price,

(c) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities of such series to be redeemed,

(d) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,

(e) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price,

(f) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case, and

(g) such other provisions as may be required in respect of the terms of a particular series of Securities.

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 and shall be irrevocable. The notice if mailed in the manner provided above shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security.

SECTION 11.5. Deposit of Redemption Price.

Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on 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, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an

60

Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 11.6. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon presentation and surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, that installments of interest 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 3.8.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

The Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of such redemption or such earlier time as the Company determines, provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such Redemption Price is to be paid.

SECTION 11.7. Securities Redeemed in Part.

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment for Securities of that series (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series, of like tenor and 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.

SECTION 11.8. Special Event Redemption.

If a Special Event with respect to an ONB Trust has occurred and is continuing, the Company may redeem the corresponding Securities held by such ONB Trust, in whole but not in part, at any time within 90 days thereafter. If the applicable ONB Trust is the holder of all outstanding corresponding Securities, the proceeds of the redemption will be used by the ONB Trust to redeem the corresponding Capital Securities and the Common Securities, at the liquidation amount per capital security specified in the Trust Agreement of such ONB Trust plus unpaid distributions to the date of redemption; provided, however, that if the Company can eliminate, within a 90 day period, the Special Event by taking some action, such as filing a form or making an election, or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure which has no adverse effect on the Company, the applicable ONB Trust or the holders of the Capital Securities or the

61

Common Securities, the Company must pursue that action instead of redemption. The Company will have no right to redeem the Securities while the applicable ONB Trust or the Property Trustee is pursuing any similar action based on its obligations under the Trust Agreement of such ONB Trust.

ARTICLE XII

SINKING FUND

SECTION 12.1. Applicability of Article.

If provided for the Securities of a series as contemplated by
Section 3.1, the provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of such series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for the 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 Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment." If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

SECTION 12.2. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

Unless the form or terms of any series of Securities shall provide otherwise, the Company (a) may deliver to the Trustee Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been 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, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided, that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

SECTION 12.3. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

Not less than 90 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.2 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Such Officers' Certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be

62

obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the succeeding sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver such Officers' Certificate (or, as required by this Indenture and the Securities) by the due date therefor, the sinking fund payment due on the succeeding sinking fund payment date for such series shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of the Securities of such series subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the right to deliver or credit securities as provided in Section 12.2 and without the right to make the optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series at such time.

Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made with respect to the Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent) on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date immediately following the date of such payment) to the redemption of Securities of such series at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities with respect to the sinking fund. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and held in trust by the Company as provided in Section 10.3) for such series and together with such payment (or such amount so segregated) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.3. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregated and held in trust as provided in Section 10.3) on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied by the Trustee (or by the Company if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent), together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited (or segregated) sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity. The Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 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 11.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 11.6. On or before each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) in cash a sum in the currency in which Securities of such series are payable (except as provided pursuant to Section 3.1) equal to the principal (and premium, if any) and any interest accrued to the Redemption Date for Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section 12.3.

Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall redeem any Securities of a series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund for such series during the continuance of a default in payment of interest, if any, on any Securities of such series or of any Default (other than a Default occurring as a consequence of this paragraph) with respect to the Securities of such series, except that if the notice of redemption shall have been provided in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee (or the Company, if the Company is then acting as its own Paying Agent) shall redeem such Securities if cash sufficient for that purpose shall be deposited with the Trustee (or segregated by the Company) for that purpose in accordance with the terms of this Article XII.

63

Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Default shall occur and any moneys thereafter paid into such sinking fund shall, during the continuance of such default or Default, be held as security for the payment of the Securities and coupons, if any, of such series; provided, however, that in case such default or Default shall have been cured or waived as provided herein, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next sinking fund payment date for the Securities of such series on which such moneys may be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.3.

ARTICLE XIII

DEFERRAL OF INTEREST PAYMENT DATE

SECTION 13.1. Deferral of Interest Payment Date.

Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the term of the Securities of any series, to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period of all Securities of such series for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters (the "Interest Payment Deferral Period"), during which Interest Payment Deferral Period no interest shall be due and payable on the Securities of such series; provided, that no Interest Payment Deferral Period may extend beyond the Maturity of such Securities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest, the payment of which has been deferred pursuant to this Section 13.1, will bear Additional Interest thereon for each Interest Payment Period of the Interest Payment Deferral Period. At the end of any Interest Payment Deferral Period with respect to any series of Securities, the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid on such Securities, including any Additional Interest (together, the "Deferred Interest") that shall be payable to the Holders of Securities of such series in whose names such Securities are registered in the Security Register on the first record date after the end of such Interest Payment Deferral Period. Before the termination of any Interest Payment Deferral Period, the Company may further extend such period; provided that such period, together with all such further extensions thereof, shall not exceed 20 consecutive quarters, and, provided further, that no prepayment of interest during an Interest Payment Deferral Period shall allow the Company to extend such Interest Payment Deferral Period beyond 20 consecutive quarters . Upon the termination of any Interest Payment Deferral Period with respect to any series of Securities and upon the payment of all Deferred Interest then due, the Company may commence a new Interest Payment Deferral Period with respect to such series of Securities, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest on a series of Securities shall be due and payable during an Interest Payment Deferral Period with respect thereto, except at the end thereof; provided, that the Company may prepay at any time all or any portion of the interest accrued during any Interest Payment Deferral Period.

SECTION 13.2. Notice of Deferral.

(a) If the Property Trustee of an ONB Trust is the only Holder of Securities of a series at the time the Company selects an Interest Payment Deferral Period with respect thereto, the Company shall give written notice to the Issuer Trustees of such ONB Trust and to the Trustee of such Interest Payment Deferral Period, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, one Business Day before the earlier of (i) the next

64

succeeding date on which Distributions on the Capital Securities issued by such ONB Trust would be payable, if not for such Interest Payment Deferral Period, or
(ii) the date such ONB Trust is required to give notice to the New York Stock Exchange (or other applicable self-regulatory organization) or to holders of the Capital Securities issued by such ONB Trust of the record date or the date such Distributions are payable.

(b) If the Property Trustee of an ONB Trust is not the only Holder of Securities of a series at the time the Company selects an Interest Payment Deferral Period with respect thereto, the Company shall give written notice to the Holders of Securities of such series and the Trustee of its selection of such Interest Payment Deferral Period, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series, five Business Days before the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (ii) the date the Company is required to give notice to the New York Stock Exchange (or other applicable self-regulatory organization) or to Holders of Securities of such series of the record or payment date of such interest payment.

(c) The Interest Payment Period in which any notice is given pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 13.2 shall be counted as one of the consecutive Interest Payment Periods permitted in the maximum Interest Payment Deferral Period with respect to any series of Securities permitted under
Section 3.1.

SECTION 13.3. Limitation of Transactions During Interest Payment Deferral Period.

If with respect to any series of Securities the Company shall exercise its right to defer payments of interest thereon as provided in Section 13.1, the Company shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.5

ARTICLE XIV

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 14.1. Agreement to Subordinate.

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities issued hereunder by such Holder's acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article XIV; and each Holder of a Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

The payment by the Company of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Amounts on all Securities issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of the Company, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

No provision of this Article XIV shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Default hereunder.

65

SECTION 14.2. Default on Senior Debt.

In the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any Senior Debt of the Company, as the case may be, or in the event that the maturity of any Senior Debt of the Company, as the case may be, has been accelerated because of a default, then, in either case, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal (including redemption payments) of, or premium, if any, or interest or Additional Amounts on, the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (except sinking fund payments made with respect to Securities acquired by the Company prior to such default).

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee, by any Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment is segregated and held in trust) when such payment is prohibited by the preceding paragraph of this Section 14.2, before all Senior Debt of the Company is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Debt of the Company or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, ratably according to the aggregate amount remaining unpaid on account of the principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on the Senior Debt held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt of the Company, as the case may be, remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Debt in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Debt, but only to the extent that the holders of the Senior Debt (or their representative or representatives or a trustee) notify the Trustee in writing within 90 days of such payment of the amounts then due and owing on the Senior Debt and only the amounts specified in such notice to the Trustee shall be paid to the holders of Senior Debt.

SECTION 14.3. Liquidation; Termination; Bankruptcy.

Upon any payment by the Company or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any termination, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings, all amounts due upon all Senior Debt of the Company shall first be paid in full, or payment thereof provided for in money in accordance with its terms, before any payment is made by the Company on account of the principal (and premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts on the Securities; and upon any such termination, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization, any payment by the Company, 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 to receive, except for the provisions of this Article XIV, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such holders, as calculated by the

66

Company) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Debt in full, in money or money's worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Debt, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of Securities or to the Trustee.

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, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee, by any Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment is segregated and held in trust) before all Senior Debt of the Company is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of such Senior Debt or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, ratably according to the aggregate amount remaining unpaid on account of the principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on the Senior Debt held or represented by each, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt of the Company, as the case may be, remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Debt in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Debt.

For purposes of this Article XIV, the words "cash, property or securities" shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article XIV with respect to the Securities to the payment of all Senior Debt of the Company, as the case may be, that may at the time be outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior Debt is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt are not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or termination of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article VIII shall not be deemed a termination, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this
Section 14.3 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article
VIII. Nothing in Section 14.2 or in this Section 14.3 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.7.

SECTION 14.4. Subrogation.

Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt of the Company, the rights of the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, applicable to such Senior Debt until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest and

67

Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article XIV, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIV to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than Holders of Senior Debt of the Company, and the holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Debt. It is understood that the provisions of this Article XIV are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior Debt on the other hand.

Nothing contained in this Article XIV 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 Debt of the Company, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company, as the case may be, other than the holders of Senior Debt of the Company, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under the Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XIV of the holders of such Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XIV, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such termination, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purposes of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XIV.

SECTION 14.5. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

Each Holder of Securities by such Holder's acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder's behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XIV and appoints the Trustee such Holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

SECTION 14.6. Notice by the Company.

The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of

68

monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIV. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XIV or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIV, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder or holders of Senior Debt or their representative or representatives or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 14.6 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purposes for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date.

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Debt of the Company (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Debt or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders. 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 such Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XIV, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Debt 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 XIV, 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.

SECTION 14.7. Rights of the Trustee; Holders of Senior Debt.

The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article XIV in respect of any Senior Debt at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

With respect to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article XIV, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of such Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of such Senior Debt and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of such Senior Debt if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of such Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XIV or otherwise.

69

SECTION 14.8. Subordination May Not Be Impaired.

No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt of the Company to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Debt of the Company may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article XIV or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of such Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, such Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner such Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which such Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior Debt;
(iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of such Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company, as the case may be, and any other Person.

ARTICLE XV

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 15.1. Acknowledgement of Rights.

The Company acknowledges that, with respect to any Securities held by an ONB Trust or a trustee of such Trust, if the Property Trustee of such ONB Trust fails to enforce its rights under this Indenture as the Holder of the series of Securities held as the assets of such ONB Trust, any holder of Capital Securities of such ONB Trust may institute legal proceedings directly against the Company to enforce such Property Trustee's rights under this Indenture without first instituting any legal proceedings against such Property Trustee or any other person or entity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default has occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay interest or principal on the applicable series of Securities on the date such interest or principal is otherwise payable (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), the Company acknowledges that a holder of Capital Securities issued by the ONB Trust which is, or the Property Trustee of which is, the Holder of such Securities may directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such holder of the principal of or interest on the applicable series of Securities having a principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Capital Securities of such holder (a "Direct Action") on or after the respective due dates specified in the applicable series of Securities. Notwithstanding any payments made to such holder of Capital Securities by the

70

Company in connection with a Direct Action, the Company shall remain obligated to pay the principal of or interest on the series of Securities held by an ONB Trust or the Property Trustee of an ONB Trust, and the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of such Capital Securities to the extent of any payments made by the Company to such holder in any Direct Action.

* * * *

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

71

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, [and their respective corporate seals to be hereunto affixed] and attested, all as of the day and year first above written.

CERTAIN TERMS OF THE TRUST SECURITIES

Section 4.1. Distributions.

The term "Distributions" as used in this Trust Agreement includes such cash distributions and any such accumulated amounts, including Additional Interest and Additional Amounts, that are payable unless otherwise stated.

(a) The Trust Securities represent undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Trust Property, and, as a practical matter, the Distributions on the Preferred Securities shall be payable at the rates and on the dates that payments of interest are made on the Debentures. Accordingly:

(i) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be cumulative, and will accumulate whether or not there are funds of the Trust available for the payment of Distributions. Distributions shall accumulate from and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on , , and of each year (each such date, a "Distribution Date"), commencing on , except as provided below. If any date on which a Distribution is otherwise payable on the Trust Securities is not a Business Day, then the payment of such Distribution shall be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, payment of such Distribution shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date.

(ii) Unless a Debenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Depositor has the right under the Indenture to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period from time to time on the Debentures for a period of up to 20 consecutive quarters and not extending, in the aggregate, beyond the maturity date of the Debentures (each, an "Interest Payment Deferral Period"). During any such Interest Payment Deferral Period, no interest shall be due and payable on the Debentures. As a consequence of such deferral, Distributions on the Preferred Securities and the Common Securities will also be deferred and shall not be due and payable hereunder. During such Interest Payment Deferral Period, interest on the Debentures will accrue, and as a consequence Distributions on the Trust Securities will accumulate, Additional Interest (to the extent permitted by applicable law).

(iii) The Trust Securities and any Distributions in arrears for more than one quarter will accrue and compound interest at a rate of % per annum of the Liquidation Amount and the amount of accrued but unpaid Distributions, respectively. Distributions payable in respect of the Trust Securities on each Distribution Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and shall include Distributions accumulated from and including the immediately preceding Distribution

17

Date (or in the case of the first Distribution Date, , ) to but excluding such Distribution Date.

(iv) Distributions on the Trust Securities shall be made by the Property Trustee from the Payment Account and shall be payable on each Distribution Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Distributions.

(b) Distributions on the Trust Securities with respect to a Distribution Date shall be payable to the Holders thereof as they appear on the Securities Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record date, which shall be the date 15 days prior to the relevant Distribution Date or, in the case of an Interest Payment Deferral Period as described in subclause (a)(ii) above, on the record date relating to the first Distribution Date next following the end of the Interest Payment Deferral Period.

Section 4.2. Redemption.

(a) On each Debenture Redemption Date and on the stated maturity of the Debentures, the Trust will be required to redeem a Like Amount of Trust Securities at the Redemption Price.

(b) Notice of redemption shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date to each Holder of Trust Securities to be redeemed, at such Holder's address appearing in the Security Register. All notices of redemption shall identify the Trust Securities being redeemed and state:

(i) the Redemption Date;

(ii) the Redemption Price;

(iii) the CUSIP number(s) of the Preferred Securities affected;

(iv) if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed, the identification and the total Liquidation Amount of the particular Trust Securities to be redeemed;

(v) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Trust Security to be redeemed and that distributions thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date; and

(vi) the place where the Trust Securities are to be surrendered for the payment of the Redemption Price.

(c) The Trust Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date shall be redeemed at the Redemption Price with the proceeds from the contemporaneous redemption of Debentures. Redemptions of the Trust Securities shall be made and the Redemption Price shall be payable on

18

each Redemption Date only to the extent that the Trust has funds then on hand and available in the Payment Account for the payment of such Redemption Price.

(d) If the Property Trustee gives a notice of redemption in respect of any Trust Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Redemption Date, subject to Section 4.2(c), the Property Trustee will, with respect to Book-Entry Preferred Securities, irrevocably deposit with the Clearing Agency for such Book-Entry Preferred Securities, to the extent available, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give such Clearing Agency irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof. If any Preferred Securities are not in book-entry form, the Property Trustee, subject to Section 4.2(c), will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent, to the extent available, funds sufficient to pay the applicable Redemption Price and will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the Redemption Price to the Holders thereof upon surrender of their Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Trust Securities called for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Trust Securities as they appear on the Register for the Trust Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution Dates. If notice of redemption shall have been given and funds deposited as required, then immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such deposit, all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive the Redemption Price and any Distribution payable on or prior to the Redemption Date, but without interest, and such Trust Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event that any date on which any Redemption Price is payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case, with the same force and effect as if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Trust Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Trust or by the Depositor pursuant to the Guarantee, Distributions on such Trust Securities will continue to accumulate at the then applicable rate from the Redemption Date originally established by the Trust for such Trust Securities to the date such Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will be the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

(e) Payment of the Redemption Price on the Trust Securities shall be made upon surrender thereof in accordance with the notice of redemption provided pursuant to Section 4.2(b).

(f) Subject to Section 4.3(a), if less than all the Outstanding Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Trust Securities to be redeemed shall be allocated on a pro rata basis (based on Liquidation Amounts) between the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities. The particular Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be selected on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts) not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Property Trustee from the Outstanding Preferred Securities not previously called for redemption. The Property Trustee shall promptly notify the Securities Registrar in writing of the Preferred Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Preferred Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount thereof to be

19

redeemed. For all purposes of this Trust Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Preferred Securities shall relate, in the case of any Preferred Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of Preferred Securities that has been or is to be redeemed.

(g) If, at any time, a Special Event shall occur and be continuing, the Depositor, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, shall have the right, subject to the prior approval of the Regulator if required under its then-applicable capital guidelines or policies, to redeem the Debentures, in whole but not in part, for cash within 90 days following the occurrence of such Special Event, and, following such redemption, a Like Amount of Preferred Securities and Common Securities shall be redeemed by the Trust at the Redemption Price on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that if at the time there is available to the Depositor or the Trust the opportunity to eliminate, within such 90-day period, the Special Event by taking Ministerial Action, such as filing a form or making an election or pursuing some other similar reasonable measure that will have no adverse effect on the Trust, the Depositor or the Holders of the Trust Securities, then the Depositor or the Trust shall be required to pursue such measure in lieu of redemption. The Depositor shall not redeem the Debentures at any time during which the Depositor or the Trust is pursuing such Ministerial Action in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence.

Section 4.3. Subordination of Common Securities.

(a) Payment of Distributions on, the Redemption Price of, and the Liquidation Distribution in respect of, the Trust Securities, as applicable, shall be made, subject to Section 4.2(f), pro rata among the Common Securities and the Preferred Securities based on the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities; provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date any Trust Agreement Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no payment of any Distribution on, or Redemption Price of, any Common Security, and no other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition of Common Securities, shall be made unless payment in full in cash of all accrued and unpaid Distributions on all Outstanding Preferred Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in the case of payment of the Redemption Price the full amount of such Redemption Price on all Outstanding Preferred Securities, shall have been made or provided for, and all funds immediately available to the Trust shall first be applied to the payment in full in cash of all Distributions on, or the Redemption Price of, Preferred Securities then due and payable.

(b) In the case of the occurrence of any Trust Agreement Default, the Holder of Common Securities will be deemed to have waived any right to act with respect to any such Trust Agreement Default under this Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Trust Agreement Defaults with respect to the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated. Until any such Trust Agreement Default with respect to the Preferred Securities has been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the Property Trustee shall act solely on behalf of the Holders of the Preferred Securities and not the Holder of the Common Securities, and only the Holders of the Preferred Securities will have the right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.

Section 4.4. Payment Procedures.

20

Payments in respect of the Preferred Securities shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Securities Register or, if the Preferred Securities are held by a Clearing Agency, such Distributions shall be made to the Clearing Agency in immediately available funds, which shall credit the relevant Persons' accounts at such Clearing Agency on the applicable Distribution Dates. Payments in respect of the Common Securities shall be made in such manner as shall be mutually agreed between the Property Trustee and the Holder of the Common Securities.

Section 4.5. Tax Returns and Reports.

In this regard, the Administrators shall (a) prepare and file (or cause to be prepared and filed) the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form required to be filed in respect of the Trust in each taxable year of the Trust and (b) prepare and furnish (or cause to be prepared and furnished) to each Holder the appropriate Internal Revenue Service form required to be provided or the information required to be provided on such form. The Administrators shall provide the Depositor and each Issuer Trustee with a copy of all such returns and reports promptly after such filing or furnishing. The Trust and the Administrators shall comply with United States federal withholding and backup withholding tax laws and information reporting requirements with respect to any payments to Holders under the Trust Securities.

Section 4.6. Payments Under Indenture or Pursuant to Direct Actions.

Any amount payable hereunder to any Holder of Preferred Securities (and any Owner with respect thereto) shall be reduced by the amount of any corresponding payment such Holder (and Owner) has directly received pursuant to
Section 5.8 of the Indenture, this Article IV, Section 5.13 of this Trust Agreement or pursuant to the Guarantee.

Neither of the Property Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Clearing Agency.

The rights of the Owners of the Book-Entry Preferred Securities shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law, the Applicable Procedures and agreements between such Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or the Clearing

23

Agency Participants; provided, that, solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of the requisite amount of Preferred Securities have voted on any matter provided for in this Trust Agreement, so long as Definitive Preferred Security Certificates have not been issued, the Issuer Trustees may conclusively rely on, and shall be fully protected in relying on, any written instrument (including a proxy) delivered to the Property Trustee by the Clearing Agency setting forth the Owners' votes or assigning the right to vote on any matter to any other Persons either in whole or in part. Pursuant to the DTC Letter of Representations, unless and until Definitive Preferred Securities Certificates are issued pursuant to Section 5.4(b), the initial Clearing Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments on the Preferred Securities to such Clearing Agency Participants, and none of the Depositor, the Administrators or the Issuer Trustees shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect thereto.

Section 5.5. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Preferred Securities Certificates.

(a) The Property Trustee shall keep or cause to be kept, at its Corporate Trust Office, a register or registers for the purpose of registering Trust Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates (the "Securities Register") in which, the registrar designated by the Depositor (the "Securities Registrar"), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Preferred Securities Certificates and Common Securities Certificates (subject to Section 5.11 in the case of the Common Securities Certificates) and registration of transfers and exchanges of Preferred Securities Certificates as herein provided. The Property Trustee is hereby appointed Securities Registrar for the purpose of registering Preferred Securities Certificates and (subject to Section 5.11) Common Securities Certificates and transfers and exchanges thereof as provided therein.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Preferred Securities Certificate at the office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 5.9, the Administrators or any one of them shall execute and deliver to the Property Trustee, and the Property Trustee shall deliver in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount dated the date of execution by such Administrator.

The Securities Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of any Preferred Securities that have been called for redemption. At the option of a Holder, Preferred Securities Certificates may be exchanged for other Preferred Securities Certificates in authorized denominations of the same class and of a like aggregate Liquidation Amount upon surrender of the Preferred Securities Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office.

Every Preferred Securities Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Securities Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Preferred Securities Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Property Trustee in accordance with its customary practice.

24

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

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in a Global Preferred Security of the kind specified in Section 5.4 and of Preferred Securities Certificates shall be made only in accordance with Section 5.4 and this Section 5.5.

Section 5.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Trust Securities Certificates.

If (a) any mutilated Trust Securities Certificate shall be surrendered to the Securities Registrar, or if the Securities Registrar shall receive evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Trust Securities Certificate and (b) there shall be delivered to the Securities Registrar and the Administrators such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then in the absence of notice that such Trust Securities Certificate shall have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Administrators, or any one of them, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute and make available for delivery, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Trust Securities Certificate, a new Trust Securities Certificate of like class, tenor and denomination. In connection with the issuance of any new Trust Securities Certificate under this Section, the Administrators or the Securities Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. Any duplicate Trust Securities Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute conclusive evidence of an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Property, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Trust Securities Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.7. Persons Deemed Holders.

The Issuer Trustees, the Administrators and the Securities Registrar shall each treat the Person in whose name any Trust Securities Certificate shall be registered in the Securities Register as the owner of such Trust Securities Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators or the Securities Registrar shall be bound by any notice to the contrary.

Section 5.8. Access to List of Holders' Names and Addresses.

At any time when the Property Trustee is not also acting as the Securities Registrar, the Administrators or the Depositor shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each Issuer Trustee promptly upon request (a) a list, in such form as the Property Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of the most recent relevant record date (as set forth in Section 4.1(b)) and (b) such other information as such Issuer Trustee may reasonably require in order to enable such Issuer Trustee to discharge its obligations under this Trust Agreement, in each case to the extent such information is in the possession or control of the Administrators or the Depositor and is not identical to a previously supplied list or has not otherwise been received by the Issuer Trustees. The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to

25

their rights under this Trust Agreement or under the Trust Securities, and the corresponding rights of the Property Trustee shall be as provided in the Trust Indenture Act. Each Holder, by receiving and holding a Trust Securities Certificate, and each Owner shall be deemed to have agreed not to hold the Depositor, the Property Trustee or the Administrators accountable by reason of the disclosure of its name and address, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

Section 5.9. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

The Property Trustee shall designate, with the consent of the Administrators (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), an office or offices or agency or agencies where Trust Securities Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer Trustees in respect of the Trust Securities Certificates may be served. The Property Trustee initially designates the Corporate Trust Office, Attn: Corporate Trust Administration, as its principal corporate trust office for such purposes. The Property Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Depositor and to the Holders of any change in the location of the Securities Register or any such office or agency.

Section 5.10. Appointment of Paying Agent.

The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Holders from the Payment Account and shall report the amounts of such distributions to the Property Trustee and the Administrators. Any Paying Agent shall have the revocable power to withdraw funds from the Payment Account for the purpose of making the distributions referred to above. The Property Trustee may revoke such power and remove the Paying Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that the Paying Agent shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Trust Agreement in any material respect. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Property Trustee. Any Person acting as Paying Agent shall be permitted to resign as Paying Agent upon 30 days written notice to the Property Trustee and the Depositor. In the event that the Property Trustee shall no longer be the Paying Agent or a successor Paying Agent shall resign or its authority to act be revoked, the Property Trustee shall appoint a successor that is reasonably acceptable to the Administrators to act as Paying Agent (which shall be a bank or trust company). Such successor Paying Agent or any additional Paying Agent shall execute and deliver to the Issuer Trustees an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent shall agree with the Issuer Trustees that as Paying Agent, such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Holders in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the Property Trustee and upon removal of a Paying Agent such Paying Agent shall also return all funds in its possession to the Property Trustee. The provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.3 and 8.6 herein shall apply, to the extent applicable, to any other paying agent appointed hereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Paying Agent shall include any co-paying agent unless the context requires otherwise.

Section 5.11. Ownership of Common Securities by Depositor.

On the Closing Date and on each Settlement Date, if any, thereafter, the Depositor shall acquire and retain beneficial and record ownership of the Common Securities. To the fullest

26

extent permitted by law, other than pursuant to transactions permitted by Article VIII of the Indenture, any attempted transfer of the Common Securities shall be void. The Administrators shall cause each Common Securities Certificate issued to the Depositor to contain a legend stating "THIS COMMON SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. THIS CERTIFICATE IS NOT TRANSFERABLE OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TRUST AGREEMENT (AS DEFINED BELOW)."

Section 5.12. Notices to Clearing Agency.

To the extent that a notice or other communication to Holders of Preferred Securities is required under this Trust Agreement, for so long as Preferred Securities are represented by a Global Preferred Security, the Administrators and the Issuer Trustees shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to be given to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligations to the Owners.

Section 5.13. Rights of Holders.

(a) The legal title to the Trust Property is vested exclusively in the Property Trustee (in its capacity as such) in accordance with Section 2.9, and the Holders shall not have any right or title therein other than the undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Trust Property conferred by their Trust Securities and they shall have no right to call for any partition or division of property, profits or rights of the Trust except as described below. The Trust Securities shall be personal property giving only the rights specifically set forth therein and in this Trust Agreement. By acceptance of a beneficial interest in the Trust Securities, Holders agree to treat the Debentures as indebtedness for all United States tax purposes. By its acceptance and holding of a beneficial interest in the Preferred Securities or the Common Securities, each Holder will be deemed to have represented that either (x) it is not an employee benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to ERISA, a plan (within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) subject to
Section 4975 of the Code, a plan subject to provisions under applicable federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code ("Similar Laws"), or any entity whose underlying assets include "plan assets" by reason of any such employee benefit plan's or plan's investment in the entity and is not purchasing and holding such Preferred Securities or Common Securities or interest therein on behalf of or with "plan assets" of any such employee benefit plan or plan or
(y) its purchase, holding and disposition of the Preferred Securities or Common Securities or interest therein (and accompanying interests in, and potential transactions involving, the Debentures and the Guarantee) (i) is eligible for the exemptive relief available under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 (or some other applicable class or individual exemption) or (ii) will not result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code or its equivalent under applicable Similar Laws. The Trust Securities shall have no preemptive or similar rights and when issued and delivered to Holders against payment of the purchase price therefor will be fully paid and nonassessable by the Trust. The Holders of the Trust Securities, in their capacities as such, shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

27

(b) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, if, upon a Debenture Event of Default, the Indenture Trustee fails or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures fail to declare the principal of all of the Debentures to be immediately due and payable, the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding shall have such right by a notice in writing to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee; and upon any such declaration such principal amount of and the accrued interest on all of the Debentures shall become immediately due and payable; provided, that the payment of principal and interest on such Debentures shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in the Indenture. At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Debentures has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, by written notice to the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

(A) all overdue interest on all of the Debentures;

(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Debentures which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Debentures;

(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, Additional Interest; and

(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel;

(ii) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of any governmental or regulatory authority; and

(iii) all Debenture Defaults, other than the non-payment of the principal of or the interest on the Debentures which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13 of the Indenture.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal or interest (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Indenture Trustee) or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which under the Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debenture affected. No such waiver or rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. Upon receipt by the Property Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, by Holders of the Preferred Securities, a record date shall be established for determining

28

Holders of Outstanding Preferred Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Property Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice which has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.13(b).

(c) For so long as any Preferred Securities remain Outstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the terms of this Trust Agreement and the Indenture, upon a Debenture Default specified in Section 5.1(b) or 5.1(c) of the Indenture, any Holder of Preferred Securities shall have the right to institute a proceeding directly against the Depositor, pursuant to the Indenture, for enforcement of payment when due to such Holder of the principal amount of and interest on Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such Holder (a "Direct Action"). In connection with any such Direct Action, the Holder of the Common Securities will be subrogated to the rights of any Holder of the Preferred Securities to the extent of any payment made by the Depositor to such Holder of Preferred Securities as a result of such Direct Action. Except as set forth in subsection (b) of this Section 5.13 and this subsection (c), the Holders of Preferred Securities shall have no right to exercise directly any right or remedy available to the holders of, or in respect of, the Debentures.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this
Section 5.13, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Preferred Securities, waive any past default or Trust Agreement Default and its consequences. Upon such waiver, any such default or Trust Agreement Default shall cease to exist, and any default or Trust Agreement Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Trust Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Trust Agreement Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

ARTICLE VI

ACTS OF HOLDERS; MEETINGS; VOTING

Section 6.1. Limitations on Voting Rights.

(a) Except as provided in this Trust Agreement and in the Indenture and as otherwise required by law, no Holder of Preferred Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control the administration, operation and management of the Trust or the obligations

29

of the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Trust Securities Certificates, be construed so as to constitute the Holders from time to time as partners or members of an association.

(b) So long as any Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the Issuer Trustees shall not (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee, or executing any trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to such Debentures, (ii) waive any past default which is waivable under Section 5.13 of the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that the principal of all the Debentures shall be due and payable or (iv) consent to any amendment or modification to the Indenture under Section 9.2 thereof or termination of the Indenture or any amendment, modification or termination of the Debentures, where such consent shall be required, without, in each case, obtaining the prior approval of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of all Outstanding Preferred Securities; provided, however, that where a consent under the Indenture would require the consent of each Holder of Debentures affected thereby, no such consent shall be given by the Property Trustee without the prior written consent of each Holder of Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall not revoke any action previously authorized or approved by a vote of the Holders of Preferred Securities, except by a subsequent vote of the Holders of Preferred Securities. The Property Trustee shall notify all Holders of the Preferred Securities of any notice of default received from the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Debentures. In addition to obtaining the foregoing approvals of the Holders of the Preferred Securities, prior to taking any of the foregoing actions, the Property Trustee shall, at the expense of the Depositor, obtain an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that the Trust will not be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for United States Federal income tax purposes on account of such action.

(c) Subject to Section 10.2(c), if any proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement provides for (i) any action that would adversely affect in any material respect the powers, preferences or special rights of the Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to the Trust Agreement or otherwise, or
(ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of the Trust, other than pursuant to the terms of this Trust Agreement, then the Holders of Outstanding Preferred Securities as a class will be entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the approval of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Outstanding Preferred Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement, no amendment to this Trust Agreement may be made if, as a result of such amendment, the Trust would be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes.

Section 6.2. Notice of Meetings.

Notice of all meetings of the Holders of Preferred Securities, stating the time, place and purpose of the meeting, shall be given by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 10.8 to each Holder of Preferred Securities of record, at his registered address, at least 15 days and not more than 90 days before the meeting. At any such meeting, any business properly before the meeting may be so considered whether or not stated in the notice of the meeting. Any adjourned meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

30

Section 6.3. Meetings of the Holders of Preferred Securities.

No annual meeting of Holders is required to be held. The Property Trustee, however, shall call a meeting of Holders to vote on any matter upon the written request of the Holders of record of 25% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities and the Administrators or the Property Trustee may, at any time in their discretion, call a meeting of Holders of Preferred Securities to consider and act on any matters as to which Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to act under the terms of this Trust Agreement or the rules of any national stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are listed or admitted for trading.

Unless the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, this Trust Agreement, the Trust Indenture Act or the listing rules of any national stock exchange on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or trading require otherwise, the Administrators, in their sole discretion, shall establish all provisions, other than those specifically provided for in this Trust Agreement, relating to meetings of Holders of Trust Securities, including notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any Holder of Trust Securities, waiver of any such notice, action by consent without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum requirements, voting in person or by proxy or any other matter with respect to the exercise of any such right to vote.

The Holders of record of 50% of the Outstanding Preferred Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount), present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Holders of the Preferred Securities.

If a quorum is present at a meeting, an affirmative vote by the Holders of record present, in person or by proxy, holding a majority of the Preferred Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) held by the Holders of record present, either in person or by proxy, at such meeting shall constitute the action of the Holders, unless this Trust Agreement requires a greater number of affirmative votes.

Section 6.4. Voting Rights.

Holders shall be entitled to one vote for each $ of Liquidation Amount represented by their Outstanding Trust Securities in respect of any matter as to which such Holders are entitled to vote.

Section 6.5. Proxies, Etc.

At any meeting of Holders, each Holder may authorize any Person to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Holder is entitled to participate, including, without limitation, waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting provided that no proxy shall be voted at any meeting unless it shall have been placed on file with the Administrators, or with such other officer or agent of the Trust as the Administrators may direct, for verification prior to the time at which such vote shall be taken. Pursuant to a resolution of the Property Trustee, proxies may be solicited in the name of the Property Trustee or one or more Officers of the Property Trustee. Only Holders of record and their proxies shall be entitled to vote. When Trust Securities are held jointly by several persons, any one of them may vote at any meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Trust Securities, but if more than one of them shall be present at

31

such meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners or their proxies so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, such vote shall not be received in respect of such Trust Securities. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Holder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. No proxy shall be valid more than three years after its date of execution. Except as otherwise provided herein, all matters relating to the giving, voting or validity of proxies shall be governed by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, as if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Holders were stockholders of a Delaware corporation.

Section 6.6. Holder Action by Written Consent.

Any action which may be taken by Holders at a meeting may be taken without a meeting, without a vote and without prior notice if Holders holding a majority of all Outstanding Trust Securities (based upon their Liquidation Amount) entitled to vote in respect of such action (or such larger proportion thereof as shall be required by any express provision of this Trust Agreement) shall consent to the action in writing.

Section 6.7. Record Date for Voting and Other Purposes.

For the purposes of determining the Holders who are entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting or by written consent, or to participate in any distribution on the Trust Securities in respect of which a record date is not otherwise provided for in this Trust Agreement, or for the purpose of any other action, the Administrators may from time to time fix a date, not more than 90 days prior to the date of any meeting of Holders or the payment of a distribution or other action, as the case may be, as a record date for the determination of the identity of the Holders of record for such purposes.

Section 6.8. Acts of Holders.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more substantially similar instruments signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Property Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust Agreement and (subject to Section 8.1) conclusive in favor of the Issuer Trustee and the Administrators, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate

32

affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which any Trustee receiving the same deems sufficient.

The ownership of Trust Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Trust Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Trust Security and the Holder of every Trust 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 Issuer Trustees, the Administrators or the Trust in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Trust Security.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Trust Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the Liquidation Amount of such Trust Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such Liquidation Amount.

If any dispute shall arise among the Holders, the Administrators and the Issuer Trustees with respect to the authenticity, validity or binding nature of any request, demand, authorization, direction, consent, waiver or other Act of such Holder, Administrator or Issuer Trustee under this Article VI, then the determination of such matter by the Property Trustee shall be conclusive with respect to such matter.

Section 6.9. Inspection of Records.

Upon reasonable notice to the Administrators and the Property Trustee, the records of the Trust shall be open to inspection by Holders during normal business hours for any purpose reasonably related to such Holder's interest as a Holder.

ARTICLE VII

ARTICLE VIII

THE ISSUER TRUSTEES; THE ADMINISTRATORS

Section 8.1. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) The duties and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees and the Administrators shall be as provided by this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, subject to the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require any of the Issuer Trustees or the Administrators to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if they 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. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Trust Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Issuer Trustees or the Administrators shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall be construed to release an Issuer Trustee or an Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct. To the extent that, at law or in equity, an Administrator or Issuer Trustee has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Trust or to the Holders, such Administrator or Issuer Trustee shall not be liable to the Trust or to any Holder for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Trust Agreement. The provisions of this Trust Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Administrators or the Issuer Trustees otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Depositor and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Administrators and the Issuer Trustees.

(b) All payments made by the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent in respect of the Trust Securities shall be made only from the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property and only to the extent that there shall be sufficient revenue or proceeds from such Trust Property to enable the Property Trustee or a Paying Agent to make payments in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Trust Security, agrees that it will look solely to the revenue and proceeds from the Trust Property to the extent legally available for distribution to it as herein provided and that none of the Administrators or the Issuer Trustees are personally liable to it for any amount distributable in respect of any Trust Security or for any other liability in respect of any Trust Security. This Section 8.1(b) does not limit the liability of the Issuer

35

Trustees or the Administrators expressly set forth elsewhere in this Trust Agreement and, in the case of the Property Trustee, in the Trust Indenture Act.

(c) If a Trust Agreement Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall enforce this Trust Agreement for the benefit of the Holders.

(d) The Property Trustee, before the occurrence of any Trust Agreement Default and after the curing of all Trust Agreement Defaults that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and no implied covenants shall be read into this Trust Agreement against the Property Trustee. If a Trust Agreement Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.13), the Property Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(e) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Property Trustee from liability for its own negligent action or its own negligent failure to act, except that:

(i) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an authorized officer of the Property Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Property Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Property Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement;

(iii) the Property Trustee's sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Debentures and the Payment Account shall be to deal with such Property in similar manner as the Property Trustee deals with similar property for its own account, subject to the protections and limitations on liability afforded to the Property Trustee under this Trust Agreement and the Trust Indenture Act;

(iv) the Property Trustee shall not be liable for any interest on any money received by it except as it may otherwise agree with the Depositor; and money held by the Property Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held by it except in relation to the Payment Account maintained by the Property Trustee pursuant to Section 3.1 and except to the extent otherwise required by law;

(v) the Property Trustee shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Delaware Trustee, the Administrators or the Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall the Property Trustee be liable for the default or misconduct of the Delaware Trustee, the Administrators or the Depositor;

36

(vi) prior to the occurrence of any Trust Agreement Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Trust Agreement Defaults that may have occurred:

(A) the duties and obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10), and the Property Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Trust Agreement (including pursuant to
Section 10.10); and

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

(vii) subject to Section 8.1(c), no provision of this Trust Agreement shall require the Property Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if the Property Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of the Trust Agreement or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(f) The Administrators shall not be responsible for monitoring the compliance by the Issuer Trustees or the Depositor with their respective duties under this Trust Agreement, nor shall either Administrator be liable for the default or misconduct of any other Administrator, the Issuer Trustees or the Depositor.

(g) No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on any Issuer Trustee or Administrator to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which such Person shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to any Issuer Trustee or Administrator shall be construed to be a duty.

Section 8.2. Certain Notices.

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any Trust Agreement Default actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such Trust Agreement Default to the Holders, the

37

Administrators and the Depositor, unless such Trust Agreement Default shall have been cured or waived.

Promptly after the receipt of notice of the Depositor's exercise of its right to defer the payment of interest on the Debentures pursuant to the Indenture, the Property Trustee shall transmit, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 10.8, notice of such exercise to the Holders and the Administrators, unless such exercise shall have been revoked.

Section 8.3. Certain Rights of Property Trustee.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.1:

(a) the Property Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith upon any resolution, Opinion of Counsel, certificate, written representation of a Holder or transferee, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative courses of action or
(ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee finds the same ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or (iii) the Property Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Trust Agreement, then, except as to any matter as to which the Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote under the terms of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Depositor requesting written instructions of the Depositor as to the course of action to be taken and the Property Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Property Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by the Depositor; provided, however, that if the Property Trustee does not receive such instructions of the Depositor within ten Business Days after it has delivered such notice, or such reasonably shorter period of time set forth in such notice (which to the extent practicable shall not be less than two Business Days), it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action not inconsistent with this Trust Agreement as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Holders, in which event the Property Trustee shall have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct;

(c) any direction or act of the Depositor contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers Certificate;

(d) any direction or act of an Administrator contemplated by this Trust Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by a certificate executed by such Administrator and setting forth such direction or act;

38

(f) the Property Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) and the advice of such 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 and in accordance with such advice; the Property Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Trust Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction;

(g) the Property Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Trust Agreement, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Property Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 8.3(g) shall be taken to relieve the Property Trustee, upon the occurrence of a Trust Agreement Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Trust Agreement;

(h) the Property 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, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by one or more Holders, but the Property Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit;

(i) the Property Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys, provided, that the Property Trustee shall be responsible for its own negligence or recklessness with respect to selection of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder;

(j) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder the Property Trustee (i) may request instructions from the Holders of the Trust Securities which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same proportion in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities as would be entitled to direct the Property Trustee under the terms of the Trust Securities in respect of such remedy, right or action, (ii) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are received and (iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such instructions;

(k) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Trust Agreement; and

(l) whenever in the administration of this Trust Agreement, the Property Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be established before undertaking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Property Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and rely upon an Officers' Certificate which, upon receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Depositor or the Administrators.

39

No provision of this Trust Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Property Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Property Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the Property Trustee shall be construed to be a duty.

Section 8.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

The recitals contained herein and in the Trust Securities Certificates shall be taken as the statements of the Depositor, and none of the Issuer Trustees and the Administrators assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Issuer Trustees and the Administrators shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of the proceeds of the Debentures.

Section 8.5. May Hold Securities.

Any Administrator, any Issuer Trustee or any other agent of any Issuer Trustee or the Trust, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Trust Securities and, subject to Sections 8.8 and 8.13 and except as provided in the definition of the term "Outstanding" in Article I, may otherwise deal with the Trust with the same rights it would have if it were not an Administrator, Issuer Trustee or such other agent.

Section 8.6. Compensation; Indemnity; Fees.

Pursuant to the Indenture, the Depositor, as borrower, hereby agrees:

(a) to pay to each Issuer Trustee and Paying Agent from time to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as may be agreed by the Depositor and each Issuer Trustee and Paying Agent, as applicable, from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each Issuer Trustee upon its written request for all documented reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by such Issuer Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Trust Agreement (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;

(c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Issuer Trustee, (ii) each Administrator, (iii) each Paying Agent, (iv) any Affiliate of any Issuer Trustee, (v) any officer, director, shareholder, employee, representative or agent of any Issuer Trustee, and (vi) any employee or agent of the Trust (referred to herein as an "Indemnified Person") from and against any loss, damage, liability, tax, penalty, expense (including attorney fees and expenses) or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred by such Indemnified Person by reason of the creation, operation or termination of the Trust or any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Person in good faith on behalf of the Trust and in a manner such Indemnified Person reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority

The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee.

No Issuer Trustee or Paying Agent may claim any lien or charge on any Trust Property as a result of any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.6.

In the event that the Property Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent or Securities Registrar hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Property Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent or Securities Registrar.

Section 8.7. Corporate Property Trustee Required; Eligibility of Issuer Trustees and Administrators.

(a) There shall at all times be a Property Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person 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 Property Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities 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.

(b) There shall at all times be one or more Administrators hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities. Each Administrator shall be either a natural person who is at least 21 years of age or a legal entity that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind that entity.

(c) There shall at all times be a Delaware Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities. The Delaware Trustee shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the State of Delaware or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the State of Delaware and, in either case, a Person that satisfies for the Trust the requirements of

Section 8.8. Conflicting Interests.

41

If the Property Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property 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 Trust Agreement. The Depositor, any Administrator, any Paying Agent and any Issuer Trustee may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Trust, and the Trust and the Holders of Trust Securities shall have no rights by virtue of this Trust Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Trust, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. None of the Depositor, any Administrator, any Paying Agent nor any Issuer Trustee shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust, and the Depositor, any Administrator, any Paying Agent or any Issuer Trustee shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Any Issuer Trustee or any Paying Agent may engage or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, or may act as depository for, trustee or agent for, or act on any committee or body of holders of, securities or other obligations of the Depositor or its Affiliates.

Section 8.9. Co-Trustees and Separate Trustee.

Unless a Trust Agreement Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property may at the time be located, the Property Trustee shall have power to appoint, and upon the written request of the Property Trustee the Depositor and the Administrators shall for such purpose join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more Persons either to act as co-trustee jointly with the Property Trustee of all or any part of such Trust Property or, to the extent required by law, to act as separate trustee of any such property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this Section. Any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall either be (i) a natural person who is at least 21 years of age and a resident of the United States or (ii) a legal entity with its principal place of business in the United States that shall act through one or more persons authorized to bind such entity.

Should any written instrument from the Depositor be required by any co-trustee or separate trustee so appointed for more fully confirming to such co-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right, or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Depositor.

Every co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following terms, namely:

42

(a) The Trust Securities shall be executed by one or more Administrators and delivered and all rights, powers, duties, and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with, the Property Trustee specified hereunder, shall be exercised, solely by the Property Trustee and not by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

(b) The rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the Property Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Property Trustee or by the Property Trustee and such co- trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act is to be performed, the Property Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee.

(c) The Property Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the written concurrence of the Depositor, may accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, in case a Trust Agreement Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee shall have power to accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee without the concurrence of the Depositor. Upon the written request of the Property Trustee, the Depositor shall join with the Property Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate such resignation or removal. A successor to any co-trustee or separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section.

(d) No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of the Property Trustee or any other trustee hereunder.

(e) The Property Trustee shall not be liable by reason of any act of a co-trustee or separate trustee.

(f) Any Act of Holders delivered to the Property Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

Section 8.10. Resignation and Removal of Issuer Trustees, Appointment of Successor.

No resignation or removal of any Issuer Trustee (the "Relevant Trustee") and no appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Issuer Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11.

Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, the Relevant Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Holders and by appointing a successor Issuer Trustee meeting the applicable requirements hereunder. If the instrument of acceptance by the successor Issuer Trustee required by Section 8.11 shall not have been delivered to the Relevant Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the Relevant Trustee may petition (pursuant to the Indenture, at the expense of the Depositor) any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee.

43

Subject to this Section 8.10, prior to the issuance of any Trust Securities hereunder and, thereafter, unless a Trust Agreement Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Issuer Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Depositor. After the issuance of the Preferred Securities and if a Trust Agreement Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, or both of them, may be removed at such time by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, delivered to the Relevant Trustee (in its individual capacity and on behalf of the Trust).

If either Issuer Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting as Property Trustee or Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of any Issuer Trustee for any cause, at a time when no Trust Agreement Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Depositor, by written consent delivered to the Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Issuer Trustee or Trustees, and the Relevant Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11. If either Issuer Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of continuing to act as the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, at a time when a Trust Agreement Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holders of the Preferred Securities, by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding delivered to the retiring Relevant Trustee, shall promptly appoint a successor Relevant Trustee or Trustees, and such successor Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 8.11.

The Property Trustee shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of an Issuer Trustee and each appointment of a successor Issuer Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 10.8 and shall give notice to the Depositor and the Administrators. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Relevant Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office if it is the Property Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, in the event a Delaware Trustee who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Depositor, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the Property Trustee (with the successor in each case being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Delaware Trustee set forth in Section 8.7).

Section 8.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Relevant Trustee, the retiring Relevant Trustee and each successor Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities shall execute and deliver an amendment hereto wherein each successor Relevant Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (a) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Relevant Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust and (b) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the Trust by more than one Relevant Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such amendment shall constitute such Relevant Trustees co-trustees and upon the execution and delivery of such amendment the resignation or removal of the retiring Relevant Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Relevant Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall

44

become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Relevant Trustee; but, on request of the Trust or any successor Relevant Trustee such retiring Relevant Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Relevant Trustee all Trust Property, all proceeds thereof and money held by such retiring Relevant Trustee hereunder with respect to the Trust Securities and the Trust.

Upon request of any such successor Relevant Trustee, the Trust shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Relevant Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph.

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

Section 8.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

Any corporation into which the Property Trustee or the Delaware 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 such Relevant Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such Relevant Trustee, shall be the successor of such Relevant 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.

Section 8.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Depositor or Trust.

If and when the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Depositor or the Trust (or any other obligor upon the Debentures or the Trust Securities), the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, as the case may be, shall be subject to and shall take all actions necessary in order to comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Depositor or Trust (or any such other obligor).

Section 8.14. Reports by the Property Trustee.

(a) The Property Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports concerning the Property Trustee and its actions under this Trust Agreement as may be required pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant thereto. If required by Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Property Trustee shall, within sixty days after each May 15 following the date of this Trust Agreement, deliver to Holders a brief report, dated as of such May 15, which complies with the provisions of such Section 313(a).

(b) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Property Trustee with each national stock exchange, the NASDAQ National Market or such other interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization upon which the Trust Securities are listed or traded, with the Commission and with the Depositor.

Section 8.15. Reports to the Property Trustee.

45

The Depositor and the Administrators on behalf of the Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such documents, reports and information as required by
Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act (if any) and the compliance certificate required by Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act in the form, in the manner and at the times required by Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, but in no event later than 120 days after the end of each calendar year.

Section 8.16. Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent.

Each of the Depositor and the Administrators on behalf of the Trust shall provide to the Property Trustee such evidence of compliance with any conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Trust Agreement that relate to any of the matters set forth in Section 314(c) of the Trust Indenture Act. Any certificate or opinion required to be given by an officer pursuant to Section 314(c)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be given in the form of an Officers' Certificate.

Section 8.17. Number of Issuer Trustees.

(a) Subject to Section 8.9, the number of Issuer Trustees shall be two, provided that the Property Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be the same Person, subject to the applicable eligibility requirements set forth herein.

(b) If an Issuer Trustee ceases to hold office for any reason, a vacancy shall occur. The vacancy shall be filled with an Issuer Trustee appointed in accordance with Section 8.10.

(c) The death, resignation, retirement, removal, bankruptcy, incompetence or incapacity to perform the duties of an Issuer Trustee shall not operate to annul, dissolve or terminate the Trust.

Section 8.18. Delegation of Power by Administrators.

(a) Any Administrator may, by power of attorney consistent with applicable law, delegate to any other natural person over the age of 21 his or her power for the purpose of executing any documents contemplated in Section 2.7(a), including any registration statement or amendment thereto filed with the Commission, or making any other governmental filing.

(b) The Administrators shall have power to delegate from time to time to such of their number or to the Depositor the doing of such things and the execution of such instruments either in the name of the Trust or the names of the Administrators or otherwise as the Administrators may deem expedient, to the extent such delegation is not prohibited by applicable law or contrary to the provisions of this Trust Agreement, as set forth herein.

Section 8.19. Appointment and Removal of Administrators.

(a) The Administrators shall initially be [ ], [ ] and [ ], and their successors shall be appointed by the Holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities and may resign or be removed by the Holders of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities at any time. Upon any resignation or removal, the Depositor shall appoint a successor Administrator. Each Administrator shall sign

46

an agreement, or a counterpart to this Trust Agreement, agreeing to comply with the terms of this Trust Agreement. If at any time there is no Administrator, the Property Trustee or any Holder who has been a Holder of Trust Securities for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of one or more Administrators.

(b) Whenever a vacancy in the number of Administrators shall occur, until such vacancy is filled by the appointment of an Administrator in accordance with this Section 8.19, the Administrators in office, regardless of their number (and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement), shall have all the powers granted to the Administrators and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Administrators by this Trust Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Trust Agreement, if any Administrator who is a natural person dies or becomes, in the opinion of the Holder of a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Common Securities, incompetent or incapacitated, the vacancy created by such death, incompetence or incapacity may be filled by the unanimous act of the remaining Administrators, if there were at least two of them prior to such vacancy, and by the Depositor, if there were not at least two such Administrators immediately prior to such vacancy (with the successor being a Person who satisfies the eligibility requirement for Administrators set forth in
Section 8.7).

(a) the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event in respect of, or the dissolution or liquidation of, the Depositor in its capacity as Holder of the Common Securities;

(b) the written direction to the Property Trustee from the Depositor at any time (which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Depositor subject to the receipt of any necessary approvals by the Regulator that may then be required under applicable capital guidelines, rules, regulations or policies of the Regulator) to dissolve the Trust and distribute Debentures to Holders in exchange for the Preferred Securities;

(c) the redemption of all of the Preferred Securities in connection with the redemption of all of the Debentures; and

47

(d) the entry of an order for dissolution of the Trust by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 9.3. Termination.

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer Trustees, the Administrators and the Trust created and continued hereby shall terminate upon the latest to occur of the following: (a) the distribution by the Property Trustee to Holders of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon the liquidation of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.4, or upon the redemption of all of the Trust Securities pursuant to Section 4.2; (b) the payment of all expenses owed by the Trust; and (c) the discharge of all administrative duties of the Administrators, including the performance of any tax reporting obligations with respect to the Trust or the Holders.

Section 9.4. Liquidation.

(a) If an Early Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b) or (d) of
Section 9.2 occurs or upon the Expiration Date (if the Expiration Date is a date that occurs prior the stated maturity of the Debentures), the Trust shall be liquidated by the Property Trustee as expeditiously as the Property Trustee determines to be possible by distributing, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, and subject to Section 4.3(a) and 9.4(d), to each Holder a Like Amount of Debentures. Notice of liquidation shall be given by the Property Trustee by first-class mail, postage prepaid mailed not later than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Liquidation Date to each Holder of Trust Securities at such Holder's address appearing in the Securities Register. All notices of liquidation shall:

(i) state the Liquidation Date;

(ii) state that from and after the Liquidation Date, the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding and any Trust Securities Certificates not surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures; and

(iii) provide such information with respect to the mechanics by which Holders may exchange Trust Securities Certificates for Debentures, or if Section 9.4(d) applies receive a Liquidation Distribution, as the Property Trustee (after consultation with the Administrators) shall deem appropriate.

(b) Except where Section 9.4(d) applies, in order to effect the liquidation of the Trust and distribution of the Debentures to Holders, the Property Trustee shall establish a record date for such distribution (which shall be not more than 45 days prior to the Liquidation Date) and, either itself acting as exchange agent or through the appointment of a separate exchange agent, shall establish such procedures as it shall deem appropriate to effect the distribution of Debentures in exchange for the Outstanding Trust Securities Certificates.

(c) Except where Section 9.4(d) applies, after the Liquidation Date, (i) the Trust Securities will no longer be deemed to be Outstanding, (ii) certificates representing a Like Amount of Debentures will be issued to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates, upon surrender of such certificates to the Administrators or their agent for exchange, (iii) the Depositor shall use

48

its best efforts to have the Debentures listed on the New York Stock Exchange or on such other exchange, interdealer quotation system or self-regulatory organization as the Preferred Securities are then listed, (iv) any Trust Securities Certificates not so surrendered for exchange will be deemed to represent a Like Amount of Debentures, accruing interest at the rate provided for in the Debentures from the last Distribution Date on which a Distribution was made on such Trust Securities Certificates until such certificates are so surrendered (and until such certificates are so surrendered, no payments of interest or principal will be made to Holders of Trust Securities Certificates with respect to such Debentures) and (v) all rights of Holders holding Trust Securities will cease, except the right of such Holders to receive Debentures upon surrender of Trust Securities Certificates.

(d) In the event that, upon the Expiration Date (if the Expiration Date is a date that occurs prior to the stated maturity of the Debentures) or the occurrence of an Early Termination Event, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9.4, whether because of an order for dissolution entered by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise, distribution of the Debentures in the manner provided herein is determined by the Property Trustee not to be practical, the Trust Property shall be liquidated, and the Trust shall be wound-up by the Property Trustee in such manner as the Property Trustee determines. In such event, Holders will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to Holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of the Trust as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to the Liquidation Amount per Trust Security plus accumulated and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount being the "Liquidation Distribution"). If, upon any such winding-up, the Liquidation Distribution can be paid only in part because the Trust has insufficient assets available to pay in full the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the amounts payable by the Trust on the Trust Securities shall be paid on a pro rata basis (based upon Liquidation Amounts). The Holder of the Common Securities will be entitled to receive Liquidation Distributions upon any such winding-up pro rata (determined as aforesaid) with Holders of Preferred Securities, except that, if a Trust Agreement Default has occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities shall have a priority over the Common Securities, and no Liquidation Distribution will be paid to the Holder of the Common Securities unless and until all Holders of the Preferred Securities have received the entire Liquidation Distribution payable in respect thereof.

(e) Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Trust, the Property Trustee shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in the State of Delaware and the Trust shall terminate.

Section 9.5. Mergers, Consolidations, Conversions, Amalgamations or Replacements of the Trust.

The Trust may not merge with or into, consolidate, convert into, amalgamate, be replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, except pursuant to this
Section 9.5 or Section 9.4. At the request of the Depositor and without the consent of the Holders of the Trust Securities, the Trust may merge or consolidate with or into, convert into, amalgamate or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to a trust organized as such under the laws of any State of the United States; provided, that (a) such successor entity either (i) expressly assumes all of the obligations

49

of the Trust with respect to the Preferred Securities or (ii) substitutes for the Preferred Securities other securities having substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities (the "Successor Securities") so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the Preferred Securities rank in priority with respect to distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (b) the Depositor expressly appoints a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same powers and duties as the Property Trustee as the holder of the Debentures, (c) the Successor Securities are listed or traded, or any Successor Securities will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred Securities are then listed or traded, if any, (d) such merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not cause the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) to be downgraded by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, (e) such merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (f) such successor entity has a purpose substantially similar to that of the Trust, (g) prior to such merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Property Trustee has received an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that (i) such merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights, preferences and privileges of the Holders of the Preferred Securities (including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (ii) following such merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, neither the Trust nor such successor entity will be required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act and (iii) following such merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trust or such successor entity will continue to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes, and (h) the Depositor owns all of the common securities of such successor entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust shall not, except with the consent of Holders of 100% in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities, merge with or into, consolidate, convert into, amalgamate, or be replaced by or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any other Person or permit any other entity to consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such merger, consolidation, conversion, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause the Trust or the successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

(b) Except as provided in Section 6.1(c) or Section 10.2(c) hereof, any provision of this Trust Agreement may be amended by the Property Trustee and the Depositor with the consent of Holders representing not less than a majority (in aggregate Liquidation Amount) of the Preferred Securities then Outstanding; provided that, in connection with any such amendment, the Property Trustee shall be required to receive an Opinion of Counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Issuer Trustees in accordance with such amendment will not affect the Trust's status as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes or the Trust's exemption from status of an investment company under the 1940 Act.

(c) In addition to and notwithstanding any other provision in this Trust Agreement, without the consent of each affected Holder, this Trust Agreement may not be amended to (i) change the amount or timing of any Distribution on the Trust Securities or otherwise adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required to be made in respect of the Trust Securities as of a specified date,
(ii) change the Redemption Dates or Redemption Prices and the events following which the Trust Securities may be redeemed or change the Liquidation Amount in connection with a Liquidation Distribution or the events following which the Trust may be Liquidated or (iii) restrict the right of a Holder to institute suit against the Depositor for the enforcement of any such Distribution on or after such date; notwithstanding any other provision herein, without the unanimous consent of the Holders, this paragraph (c) of this Section 10.2 may not be amended.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Agreement, no Issuer Trustee shall enter into or consent to any amendment to this Trust Agreement which would cause the Trust to fail or cease to qualify for the exemption from status of an investment company under the 1940 Act or fail or cease to be classified as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes.

51

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Trust Agreement to the contrary, without the consent of the Depositor and the Administrators, this Trust Agreement may not be amended in a manner which imposes any additional obligation on the Depositor or the Administrators.

Section 10.5. Payments Due on Non-Business Day.

If the date fixed for any payment on any Trust Security shall be a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.1(a) and 4.2(d)), with the same force and effect as though made on the date fixed for such payment, and no interest shall accrue thereon for the period after such date.

In case an Event of Default has occurred (that has not been cured or waived pursuant to Section 2.6), the Guarantee Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

(i) prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default that may have occurred:

(A) the duties and obligations of the Guarantee Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Guarantee Agreement, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Guarantee Agreement; and

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

(iii) the Guarantee Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of not less than a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under this Guarantee Agreement; and

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

Section 3.2. Certain Rights of Guarantee Trustee.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.1:

(ii) Any direction or act of the Guarantor contemplated by this Guarantee Agreement shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate unless otherwise prescribed herein.

(iii) Whenever, in the administration of this Guarantee Agreement, the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established before taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (unless other evidence is herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, request and rely upon an Officers' Certificate which, upon receipt of such request from the Guarantee Trustee, shall be promptly delivered by the Guarantor.

8

(iv) The Guarantee Trustee may consult with legal counsel, and the written advice or opinion of such legal counsel with respect to legal matters shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion. Such legal counsel may be legal counsel to the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates and may be one of its employees. The Guarantee Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Guarantee Agreement from any court of competent jurisdiction.

(v) The Guarantee Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement at the request or direction of any Holder, unless such Holder shall have provided to the Guarantee Trustee such adequate security and indemnity as would satisfy a reasonable person in the position of the Guarantee Trustee, against the costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in complying with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be requested by the Guarantee Trustee; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 3.2(a)(v) shall be taken to relieve the Guarantee Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, of its obligation to exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Guarantee Agreement.

(vi) The Guarantee 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, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Guarantee Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

(vii) The Guarantee Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through its agents or attorneys, and the Guarantee Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

(viii) Whenever in the administration of this Guarantee Agreement the Guarantee Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action hereunder, the Guarantee Trustee (A) may request instructions from the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Securities, (B) may refrain from enforcing such remedy or right or taking such other action until such instructions are received, and (C) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such instructions.

(b) No provision of this Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Guarantee Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Guarantee Trustee shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation. No permissive power or authority available to the Guarantee Trustee shall be construed to be a duty to act in accordance with such power and authority.

9

The Guarantor agrees:

(a) to pay to the Guarantee Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as may be agreed by the Guarantor and the Guarantee Trustee from time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); and

Payment, a Holder may directly institute a proceeding against the Guarantor for enforcement of this Guarantee Agreement for such payment.

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 5.7. Independent Obligations.

The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Securities 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 subsections (a) through (g), inclusive, of Section 5.3 hereof.

Initially capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined are used as defined in the Trust Agreements.

For purposes of this opinion, we have not reviewed any documents other than the documents listed in paragraphs (a) through (k) above. In particular, we have not reviewed any document (other than the documents listed in paragraphs (a) through (k) above) that is referred to in or incorporated by reference into the documents reviewed by us. We have assumed that there exists no provision in any document that we have not reviewed that is inconsistent with the opinions stated herein. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own but rather have relied solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and information set forth therein and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we have assumed to be true, complete and accurate in all material respects.

With respect to all documents examined by us, we have assumed (i) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as authentic originals, (ii) the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies or forms, and (iii) the genuineness of all signatures.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed (i) that each of the Trust Agreements and each of the Certificates is in full force and effect and has not been amended, (ii) except to the extent provided in paragraph 1 below, the due creation or due organization or due formation, as the case may be, and valid existence in good standing of each party to the documents examined by us under the laws of the jurisdiction governing its creation, organization or formation, (iii) the legal capacity of each natural person who is a signatory to the documents examined by us, (iv) that each of the parties to the documents examined by us has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, such documents, (v) the due authorization, execution and delivery by all parties thereto of all documents examined by us,

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Delaware (excluding the securities and blue sky laws of the State of Delaware), and we have not considered and express no opinion on the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal laws and rules and regulations relating thereto. Our opinions are rendered only with respect to Delaware laws and rules, regulations and orders thereunder which are currently in effect.

Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes of the State of Delaware as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:


Old National Bancorp

1. Each Trust has been duly created and is validly existing in good standing as a statutory trust under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act.

2. The Preferred Securities of each Trust will represent valid and, subject to the qualifications set forth in paragraph 3 below, fully paid and nonassessable undivided beneficial interests in the assets of such Trust.

3. The Preferred Security Holders of each Trust, as beneficial owners of such Trust, will be entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
