Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement any prospectus, prospectus supplement, term sheet or abbreviated term sheet prepared or filed with respect to an offering pursuant to the Registration Statement of a series of securities other than the Debt Securities shall not be deemed to have supplemented the Prospectus.

1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Company represents and warrants to each of the Underwriters that:

All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities evidencing equity ownership of each Principal Subsidiary have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable, and are owned by the Company free and clear of any security interest, claim, lien or encumbrance.

(g) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Indenture by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Debt Securities and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Debt Securities and the Indenture, as the case may be, will not conflict with or constitute a breach or violation of or default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under (A) the Restated Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, (B) any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which breach or default would, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, (C) any statute, law or regulation to which the Company or any of its properties may be subject, which violation would, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, or (D) of any judgment, order, or decree of any governmental body, agency, or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and no consent, approval, authorization, or order of or qualification or registration with any governmental body or agency is, to the Company's knowledge, required for the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Debt Securities or the Indenture, other than registration thereof under the Securities Act, qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act and such registrations

7

(v) The Debt Securities have been duly authorized by the Company.

(vi) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Indenture by the Company, the issuance and sale of the Debt Securities, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Debt Securities and the Indenture, as the case may be, will not conflict with or constitute a breach or violation of or default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under (A) the Restated Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, (B) subject to the Company's compliance with any applicable covenants pertaining to its incurrence of unsecured indebtedness contained therein, any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which breach or default would, singly or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, (C) any statute, law or regulation to which the Company or any of its properties may be subject, or (D) to such counsel's knowledge, after due inquiry, any judgment, order, or decree of any governmental body, agency, or court having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except that such counsel may state that the opinion set forth in clause
(C) of this paragraph (vi) is limited to those statutes, laws or regulations in effect on the date of this opinion which, in such counsel's experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement and such counsel expresses no opinion as to the Blue Sky laws or other securities laws of the various states in which the Debt Securities may be offered and sold.

(vii) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of or qualification or registration with any court or other governmental body or agency is, to such counsel's knowledge, required for the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, the Debt Securities or the Indenture, other than registration thereof under the Securities Act, qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, and such registrations or qualifications as may be necessary under the Blue Sky laws or other securities laws of the various states in which the Debt Securities may be offered and sold.

(viii) To such counsel's knowledge after due inquiry, there is no legal or governmental proceeding pending or threatened, no statute or regulation, and no agreement, instrument, or other document to which, in any case, the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or by which, in any case, any of the properties of the Company or its subsidiaries is bound, that is required to be

8

described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or that is required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, that is not so described or filed.

(ix) Each document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, at the time such document was filed with the Commission appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, except that in each case such counsel need not express an opinion as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in, or excluded from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

In addition, such counsel shall state that he has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, counsel employed by the Company, representatives of the independent accountants for the Company, representatives of the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, at which the contents of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel is not passing upon, and does not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and has not made any independent check or verification thereof, on the basis of the foregoing, no facts have come to such counsel's attention that have led him to believe that the Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference therein), at the time the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 1997, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus (including the documents incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference therein), as of the date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that such counsel need express no opinion or belief with respect to (i) the financial statements, schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in, or excluded from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or (ii) the Form T-1.

(c) OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY. On the Closing Date, the Underwriters shall have received an opinion from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &

9

Flom LLP, counsel to the Company, dated as of the applicable Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager to the effect that:

(i) Assuming the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, valid execution, and delivery by the Trustee, the Indenture is a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that (x) enforcement thereof may be limited by (i) the laws of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally (whether now or hereafter in effect), (ii) laws limiting rights of indemnity or contribution, or (iii) equitable principles of general applicability (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and (y) the waiver contained in Section 6.12 of the Indenture may be deemed unenforceable.

(ii) Assuming the Debt Securities have been duly authorized by the Company, when issued, executed, and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, and delivered to and duly paid for in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Prospectus and this Agreement, the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and will be valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that (x) enforcement thereof may be limited by (i) the laws of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally (whether now or hereafter in effect), (ii) laws limiting rights of indemnity or contribution, or (iii) equitable principles of general applicability (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity), and (y) the waiver contained in Section 6.12 of the Indenture may be deemed unenforceable.

(iii) The statements in the Prospectus under the captions "Description of the Debt Securities" and "Description of Notes," insofar as they purport to summarize certain provisions of the Indenture and the Debt Securities, are in all material respects accurate summaries of such provisions and, to the extent that such statements constitute matters of law, summaries of legal matters, legal proceedings or legal conclusions, are accurate and complete in all material respects.

10

(iv) Although the discussion set forth in the Prospectus under the heading "Certain United States Federal Tax Considerations" does not purport to discuss all possible United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the Debt Securities, in such counsel's opinion, such discussion constitutes, in all material respects, a fair and accurate summary of the United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of the Debt Securities, based upon current law and subject to the qualifications set forth therein.

(v) The Registration Statement (excluding the documents incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference therein), at the time the Registration Statement became effective, and the Prospectus (excluding the documents incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference therein), as of the date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, each appeared on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and the Trust Indenture Act, except that in each case such counsel need not express an opinion as to (i) the documents incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (ii) the financial statements, schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in, or excluded from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or (ii) the Form T-1.

In addition, such counsel shall state that they have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, counsel employed by the Company, representatives of the independent accountants of the Company, representatives of the Underwriters and counsel for the Underwriters, at which the contents of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel is not passing upon, and does not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (other than as provided in subparagraphs (iii) and (iv) above) and have made no independent check or verification thereof, on the basis of the foregoing, no facts have come to such counsel's attention that have led them to believe that the Registration Statement (excluding the documents incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference therein), at the time the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 1997, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus (excluding the documents incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by

11

reference therein), as of the date of this Agreement and at the Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that such counsel need express no opinion or belief with respect to (i) the documents incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, (ii) the financial statements, schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in, or excluded from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or (iii) the exhibits to the Registration Statement, including the Form T-1.

(d) OPINION OF UNDERWRITERS' COUNSEL. On the applicable Closing Date, the Underwriters shall have received an opinion from counsel to the Underwriters, dated as of the applicable Closing Date, and in form and substance satisfactory to the Underwriters.

(e) OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE. On the applicable Closing Date, the Underwriters shall have received a certificate signed by an officer of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that (i) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 1 hereof are true and correct (or, with respect to the representations and warranties contained in
Section 1 that are not qualified as to materiality, true and correct in all material respects) with the same force and effect as though expressly made at and as of the date of such certificate and (ii) the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions required by this Agreement or the Indenture on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the date of such certificate.

(f) COMFORT LETTER. On the date hereof, the Underwriters shall have received a letter (an "Auditor's Letter") from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("KPMG"), or such other independent certified public accountants as may be selected by the Company (KPMG or such other independent certified public accountants that have certified the financial statements covered by any applicable Auditor's Letter each, successively, the "Company's Auditors"), dated as of the date hereof and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, containing statements and information of a type ordinarily included in accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information (including, without limitation, any pro forma financial statements and pro forma financial information) contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; and, if financial statements for any assets, business or entity acquired by the Company are included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the

12

Prospectus, the Underwriters shall have received a similar "comfort letter" from the Company's Auditors, dated as of the date hereof, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, with respect to such financial statements and any financial information with respect to such assets, business or entity, as the case may be, contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Without limitation to the foregoing, the letter delivered by the Company's Auditors shall state that nothing has come to their attention that caused them to believe that at a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of such letter, there was any change in the outstanding capital stock of the Company or any increase in consolidated long-term debt of the Company or any decrease in the stockholders' equity of the Company, in each case as compared with the amounts shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and Prospectus or, during the period from the date of such balance sheet to a specified date not more than five days prior to the date of such letter, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales and operating revenues or net income of the Company, except in each such case as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement and Prospectus or except for such exceptions enumerated in such letter as shall have been agreed to by the Underwriters and the Company.

(g) SUBSEQUENT DELIVERY OF COMFORT LETTER. On the applicable Closing Date, the Underwriters shall have received from each firm of independent public accountants which delivered a letter pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section, dated as of the applicable Closing Date, to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section, except that the specified date referred to shall be a date not more than five days prior to the applicable Closing Date.

(h) OTHER DOCUMENTS. On the applicable Closing Date, counsel to the Underwriters shall have been furnished with such documents and opinions as such counsel may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling such counsel to pass upon the issuance and sale of Debt Securities as herein contemplated and related proceedings, or in order to evidence the accuracy and completeness of any of the representations and warranties or the fulfillment of any of the conditions herein contained.

6. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY. In further consideration of the agreements of the Underwriters contained herein, the Company covenants as follows:

13

(a) NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS. The Company will promptly advise the Manager of (i) the filing and effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement other than by virtue of the Company's filing any report required to be filed under the Exchange Act and the filing of any supplement to the Prospectus other than any amendment or supplement relating solely to an offering of securities other that the Debt Securities, (ii) any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement, for any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus, or for any additional information from the Company (other than any such request relating to an offering of securities other than the Debt Securities), (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus relating to the Debt Securities or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, and (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Debt Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or notice of suspension of qualification and, if issued, to obtain as soon as reasonably possible the withdrawal thereof.

(b) NOTICE OF CERTAIN PROPOSED FILINGS. During the period from the date of this Agreement to and including the last Closing Date, at or prior to the filing by the Company of any amendment to the Registration Statement or of any supplement to the Prospectus (other than any amendment or supplement relating solely to an offering of securities other than the Debt Securities), or any document the Company is required to file pursuant to
Section 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 21, 1998 (the "First Quarter 10Q")), the Company will furnish the Manager and the Underwriters with copies of any such amendment or supplement or other documents in a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing and will not file any such document to which the Manager shall reasonably object, unless, in the judgment of the Company or its counsel, such amendment or supplement or other document is necessary to comply with law. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will promptly cause each applicable supplement to the Prospectus to be filed with or transmitted for filing with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) or 424(c) under the Securities Act or pursuant to such other rule or regulation of the Commission as then deemed appropriate by the Company. The Company will furnish the Manager and the Underwriters with copies of the First Quarter 10Q prior to filing it with the Commission.

(c) COPIES OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND THE PROSPECTUS. The Company will furnish (in New York) to the Underwriters, without charge, one original

14

signed copy of the Registration Statement (including exhibits) and all amendments thereto that shall become effective, and as many copies of the Prospectus, any documents incorporated by reference therein, and any supplements and amendments thereto as the Underwriters may reasonably request, in each case within a reasonable period of time following the date on which this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Company and the Manager, or the date on which such document becomes effective, or the date on which such document is requested by the Underwriters, as applicable.

(d) REVISIONS OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS -- MATERIAL CHANGES. If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Debt Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by the Underwriters, any event occurs or condition exists as a result of which the Prospectus would include an untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if for any reason it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Trust Indenture Act, or the respective rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, or any other applicable law, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriters, by telephone or by facsimile (in either case with written confirmation from the Company by mail), and will promptly prepare and, subject to Section 6(b), cause to be filed with the Commission the appropriate documents or appropriate amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and will supply without charge to the Underwriters one copy of a signed copy of any such amended Registration Statement and will supply without charge to the Underwriters as many copies of any such amended or supplemented Prospectus as the Underwriters may from time to time reasonably request.

(e) COMPLIANCE WITH EXCHANGE ACT. The Company, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, will comply, in a timely manner, with all applicable requirements under the Exchange Act relating to the filing with the Commission of the Company's reports pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and, if then applicable, the Company's proxy statements pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act.

(f) EARNINGS STATEMENT. The Company will make generally available to its security holders earnings statements that satisfy the provisions of Section 11 (a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder.

15

(g) BLUE SKY QUALIFICATIONS. The Company will, with such assistance from the Underwriters as the Company may reasonably request, endeavor to qualify the Debt Securities for offer and sale under the Blue Sky laws or other securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters shall reasonably request and will maintain such qualifications for as long as required with respect to the offer, sale, and distribution of the Debt Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be obligated to register or qualify as a foreign corporation or take any action which would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not now subject.

(h) SUSPENSION PERIOD. During the period from the date of this Agreement to and including the last Closing Date, the Company shall not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities of the Company which mature more than one year after the last Closing Date and which are substantially similar to the Debt Securities, without the prior written consent of the Manager.

7. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, or liabilities as incurred, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (and actions in respect thereof) arise out of, are based upon, or are caused by any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, are based upon or are caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action as such expenses are incurred; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of, are based upon, or are caused by (i) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon the Form T-1, (ii) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission included in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (iii) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission in the preliminary prospectus if

16

such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission is corrected in the Prospectus and if, having previously been furnished by or on behalf of the Company with copies of such Prospectus, the Underwriters thereafter failed to deliver such Prospectus, prior to or concurrently with the sale of a Debt Security or Debt Securities to the person asserting such loss, claim, damage, or liability who purchased such Debt Security or Debt Securities which are subject thereof from the Underwriters.

(b) Each Underwriter severally (and not jointly) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Underwriters, but only with respect to such losses, claims, damages, and liabilities (and actions in respect thereof) that arise out of, are based upon, or are caused by any untrue statement or omission or allegedly untrue statement or omission included in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7, such person (the "indemnified party") will promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, will retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and will pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party will have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel will be borne by the indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party (whether or not the indemnifying party was an original named party to such proceeding) and the indemnified party and such indemnified party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be actual or potential conflicts of interest between the Company and the indemnified party including situations in which there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnified party which are different from, or additional to, those available to the Company. It is understood that the

17

indemnifying party will not, in connection with any proceeding or substantially similar or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such reasonable fees and expenses will be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm will be designated in writing by the Manager (in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the second preceding paragraph) or by the Company (in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to the first preceding paragraph), as the case may be. The indemnifying party will not be liable for any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent, or if there shall be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party will, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement or compromise of or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity or contribution could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by, the indemnified party. Any provision of this paragraph (c) to the contrary notwithstanding, no failure by an indemnified party to notify the indemnifying party as required hereunder will relieve the indemnifying party from any liability it may have had to an indemnified party otherwise than under Section 7(a) or (b).

(d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party or is insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party thereunder, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, from the offering of Debt Securities by the Underwriters, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters,

18

on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, in connection with the offering of Debt Securities by the Underwriters will be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds received by the Company from the offering of such Debt Securities bears to the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters from the Company in respect thereof. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other, will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied or to be supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to paragraph (d) above were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to therein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above will be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Any other provisions of this Section 7 to the contrary notwithstanding (i) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the applicable Debt Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters of Debt Securities in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such securities and not joint.

(f) The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and will not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

8. TERMINATION. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the Company if, at any time prior to the Closing Date, (i) there shall have occurred (A) any material adverse change (or development involving a prospective material adverse change) in the business, properties, earnings, or financial

19

condition of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (B) any suspension or material limitation of trading in the Company's capital stock by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE"), or
(C) any decrease by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation with respect to the ratings of any of the debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or any public announcement by any such organization to the effect that it has placed any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company on what is commonly termed a "watch list" with negative implications (the events described in the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) the "Company-Specific Events"), the effect of any of which Company-Specific Events shall have made it impracticable, in the reasonable judgment of the Manager, to market such Debt Securities, or (ii) there shall have occurred (A) any suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the NYSE or the establishment of minimum prices on the NYSE, (B) a declaration of a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York by either federal or New York State authorities, or
(C) any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or other national or international calamity or crisis (the events described in the foregoing clauses (A) through (C) the "Market Events"), the effect of any of which Market Events (other than the Market Event described in Clause (B), which shall not be subject to the following qualification) shall have made it impracticable, in the reasonable judgment of the Manager, to market such Debt Securities.

9. DEFAULTING UNDERWRITERS. If on the Closing Date any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Debt Securities that it has or they have agreed to purchase on such date, and the aggregate amount of Debt Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of the Debt Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the amount of Debt Securities set forth opposite their respective names above bears to the aggregate amount of Debt Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the Manager may specify, to purchase the Debt Securities which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If on the Closing Date any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Debt Securities and the aggregate amount of Debt Securities with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate amount of Debt Securities to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Manager and the Company for the purchase of such Debt Securities are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either the Manager or the Company shall have the right to

20

postpone the Closing Date but in no event for longer then seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

10. SURVIVABILITY. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Debt Securities.

11. CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Debt Securities except as provided in Sections 4 and 7 hereof; but, if for any other reason (other than a default by the Underwriters under Section 9 hereof) Debt Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through the Manager for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Manager, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of such Debt Securities, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Debt Securities except as provided in Sections 4 and 7 hereof.

12. NOTICES. In all dealings hereunder, the Manager shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters of Debt Securities, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Manager.

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all communications hereunder will be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand, mailed via Express Mail, deposited with Federal Express or any nationally recognized commercial courier service for "next day" delivery, or telecopied and confirmed in writing (by telecopied facsimile or otherwise) to the respective addresses or telecopier numbers set forth on the signature page hereto, or to such other address or telecopier number as either party may hereafter designate to the other in writing;

21

provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 7(c) hereof shall be delivered in a manner provided above to such Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by the Manager upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

THE SECURITIES

SECTION 2.1 FORMS GENERALLY. The Registered Securities, if any, of each series and the Bearer Securities, if any, of each series and related coupons shall be in substantially such form (including global form) as shall be established by delivery to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the Officers executing such Securities or coupons as evidenced by their execution of the Securities or coupons. The Officers' Certificate so establishing the form of Security or coupons, if any, of any series shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order contemplated by Section 2.4 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities or coupons.

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), Bearer Securities shall have interest coupons attached.

The permanent Securities and coupons, if any, shall be printed, lithographed, engraved or word processed or produced by any combination of these methods or may be produced in any other manner, PROVIDED, that such method is permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, all as determined by the Officers executing such Securities as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

SECTION 2.2 SECURITIES IN GLOBAL FORM. If Securities of a series are issuable in temporary or permanent global form, as specified as contemplated by
Section 2.3(a), then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 2.3(a) and the provisions of Section 2.3(b), any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon or otherwise notated on the books and records of the Registrar and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such person or persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.11. Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.4 and, if applicable, Section 2.11, 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 2.4 or 2.11 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or other notation on the books and records of the Registrar or delivery or redelivery

9

of a Security of such series in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 12.4 or 12.5 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel (except as required by Section 2.4).

The provisions of the last sentence of Section 2.4 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 12.4 or 12.5 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the Principal Amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 2.4.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.13, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), payment of Principal of and any interest on any Security in global form shall be made to the person or persons specified therein.

Any series of Bearer Securities shall be issued initially in the form of one temporary global Bearer Security (the "Temporary Global Bearer Security"), which Temporary Global Bearer Security shall be deposited on behalf of the beneficial owners of the Bearer Securities represented thereby with The First National Bank of Chicago, London Branch, as common depositary (the "Common Depositary"), for credit to their respective accounts (or to such other accounts as they may direct) at Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, Brussels office, as operator of the Euro-clear or Cedel S.A.

On or before the date 40 days after the later of the announcement of the offering of such Bearer Securities and the date of settlement (the "Exchange Date"), the Company shall deliver to a Paying Agent located outside the United States, or its designated agent, Bearer Securities executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, the Temporary Global Bearer Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee or its agent, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, at the sole discretion of the Company for (i) Bearer Securities or (ii) a permanent global Bearer Security (the "Permanent Global Bearer Security") without charge to Holders, and the principal Paying Agent or other Paying Agent outside the United States shall authenticate and deliver (at an office or agency outside the United States), in exchange for the Temporary Global Bearer Security or the portions thereof to be exchanged, an equal aggregate principal amount of Bearer Securities or the Permanent Global Bearer Security, as shall be specified by the beneficial owners thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that upon such presentation by the Common Depositary, the Temporary Global Bearer Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euro-clear as to the portion of the Temporary Global Bearer Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Cedel S.A. as to the portion of the Temporary Global Bearer Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each to the effect hereinafter provided. The Company and the Trustee agree that they will cooperate in causing the paying agent located outside the United States to retain each certificate provided by Euro-clear or Cedel S.A. for a period of four calendar years following the year in which the

10

certificate is received and not to destroy or otherwise dispose of any such certificate without first offering to deliver it to the Company.

Each certificate to be provided by Euro-clear and Cedel S.A. shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or with such changes therein as shall be approved by the Company and be satisfactory to the Trustee.

Each certificate received by Euro-clear and Cedel S.A. from persons appearing in their records as persons entitled to a portion of the Temporary Global Bearer Security shall be substantially to the effect set forth in this Indenture.

Upon any such exchange of a portion of the Temporary Global Bearer Security for Bearer Securities or the Permanent Global Bearer Security, the Temporary Global Bearer Security shall be endorsed to reflect the reduction of the principal amount evidenced thereby. Until so exchanged in full, the Temporary Global Bearer Security shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under, and subject to the same terms and conditions of, this Indenture as Bearer Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that none of Euro-clear, Cedel S.A. or the beneficial owners of the Temporary Global Bearer Security shall be entitled to receive payment of interest or other payments thereon or to convert the Temporary Global Bearer Security, or any portion thereof, into Common Stock of the Company or any other security, cash or other property.

(y) that such Securities, together with the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, when (1) executed by the Company, (2) completed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or in the case of Bearer Securities and coupons, an authenticating agent located outside the United States, in accordance with this Indenture, and (3) 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 in accordance with their terms, subject to customary exceptions.

With respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.3(a) and this Section, as applicable, at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series unless and until it has received written notification that such opinion or other documents have been superseded or revoked. In connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume, unless it has received written notice to the contrary, that the Company's instructions to authenticate and deliver such Securities do not violate any rules, regulations or orders of any governmental agency or commission having jurisdiction over the Company.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a) and of the preceding three paragraphs, if all Securities of a series are subject to a Periodic Offering, it shall not be necessary to deliver the

16

Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.3(a) at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such Officers' Certificate is delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication; and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), each Bearer Security (including a Bearer Security represented by a temporary global Security) shall be dated as of the date of original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.

The Trustee (at the expense of the Company) may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.

No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. The Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CHICAGO, as
Trustee

By:
Authorized Signatory

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.12 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 12.4 or 12.5 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

17

SECTION 2.5 REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The Company shall maintain, with respect to each series of Securities, an office or agency where such Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange ("REGISTRAR") and an office or agency where such Securities may be presented for purchase or payment ("PAYING AGENT"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more additional paying agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with respect to each series of Securities with any Registrar or Paying Agent (if not the Trustee). The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent for a particular series of Securities, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to
Section 7.7. The Company or any Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as the Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with such Securities and The First National Bank of Chicago, London Branch, or as provided in the Officer's Certificate establishing the Securities, as paying agent and authenticating agent for Bearer Securities.

SECTION 2.6 PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY AND SECURITIES IN TRUST. Except as otherwise provided herein, prior to or on each due date of payments in respect of any series of Securities, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent with respect to such Securities a sum of money sufficient to make such payments when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by such Paying Agent for the making of payments in respect of the Securities of such series and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. At any time during the continuance of any such default, a Paying Agent shall, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all money so held in trust with respect to such Securities. If the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them acts as Paying Agent for a series of Securities, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent with respect to such Securities and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent for a series of Securities to pay all money held by it with respect to such Securities to the Trustee and to account for any money disbursed by it. Upon doing so, such Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money.

SECTION 2.7 SECURITYHOLDER LISTS. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of each series of Securities. If the Trustee is not the Registrar for any series of Securities, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee at least semiannually on

18

June 1 and December 1 a listing of Holders of such series of Securities dated within 15 days of the date on which the list is furnished and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders of such series of Securities.

SECTION 2.8 TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.5 for such purpose in a Place of Payment, 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 any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor. The Company shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the Securityholder requesting such transfer or exchange (other than any exchange of a temporary Security for a definitive Security not involving any change in ownership or any exchange pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.6, 9.5 or 10.3 not involving any transfer).

Notwithstanding any other provisions (other than the provisions set forth in the sixth and seventh paragraphs) of this Section, a Security in global form representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, 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. Bearer Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

At the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any office or agency of the Company located outside the United States, 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 or Paying Agent 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, the Paying

19

Agent 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 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 4.5, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or a duly appointed authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form in accordance with the instructions, if any, of the Depositary.

The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more global Securities shall no longer be represented by such global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Security or Securities in global form representing such series in exchange for such Security or Securities in global form in accordance with the instructions, if any, of the Depositary.

20

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified in the preceding two paragraphs or as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), any global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the beneficial owners of interests in a global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities of such series and of like Principal Amount and tenor but of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than five business days prior to the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities 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 by the Depositary with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge and the Trustee or, in the case of Bearer Securities, an authenticating agent outside the United States shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such global Security, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such global Security to be exchanged which, unless the Securities of the series are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), 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 notwithstanding the last paragraph of this Section 2.8, no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that no Bearer Security or coupon delivered in exchange for a portion of a global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any person that is not a United States Alien or to any location in the United States. 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 where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Upon the exchange of a Security in global form for Securities in definitive form, such Security in global form shall be cancelled by the Trustee. All cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and a certificate of their destruction delivered to the Company unless the Company directs, by Company Order, that the Trustee deliver cancelled Securities to the Company. Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Security in global form pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Security in global

21

form, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee in writing. The Trustee shall deliver such Registered Securities as instructed in writing by the Depositary.

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

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 any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending (except as otherwise provided in the first proviso in the eighth paragraph of this Section 2.8) at the close of business on (A) if Securities of the Series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if Securities of the series are issuable as Bearer Securities, 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, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or
(iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and like tenor, provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption.

SECTION 2.9 REPLACEMENT SECURITIES AND COUPONS. If (a) any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining thereto is surrendered to the Trustee or paying agent outside the United States, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of written notice to the Company, any such paying agent or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a BONA FIDE purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee or paying agent outside the United States shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or coupon or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon, or in exchange for the Security to which a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and Principal Amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any,

22

appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon, 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 the Principal of and any interest on Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto.

Upon the issuance of any new Securities 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 or paying agent) connected therewith.

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Security and coupons, if any, shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that issue 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 2.10 OUTSTANDING SECURITIES; DETERMINATIONS OF HOLDERS' ACTION. Securities of any series "OUTSTANDING" at any time are, as of the date of determination, all the Securities of such series theretofore authenticated by the Trustee for such series except for (i) Securities cancelled by it or those delivered to it for cancellation; (ii) Securities for whose payment or redemption money in the necessary amount has been theretofore deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (other than the Company) in trust or set aside and segregated in trust by the Company (if the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent) for the Holders of such Securities; PROVIDED that, if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has been made; (iii) Securities as to which defeasance has been effected pursuant to Section 8.4;
(iv) Securities which have been paid or in exchange for or in lieu of which other Securities have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture, other than any such Securities in respect of which there shall have been presented to the Trustee proof satisfactory to it that such Securities are held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands

23

such Securities are valid obligations of the Company; and (v) those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be "OUTSTANDING" because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite Principal Amount of Outstanding Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities which the Trustee has received written notice are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Articles 6 and 9). In addition, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite Principal Amount of Outstanding Securities have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, (i) the Principal Amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be Outstanding shall be the amount of the Principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.2, (ii) the Principal Amount of a Security denominated in a foreign currency or currencies shall be the Dollar equivalent, as determined on the date of original issuance of such Security, of the Principal Amount (or, in the case of a Discount Security, the Dollar equivalent on the date of original issuance of such Security of the amount determined as provided in
(i) above) of such Security.

If a Security has been paid pursuant to Section 2.9 or in exchange for or in lieu of which another Security has been authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a BONA FIDE purchaser.

If the Trustee (other than the Company) holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or on Stated Maturity, money sufficient to pay Securities and any coupons thereto appertaining payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest, if any, on such Securities shall cease to accrue; PROVIDED, that if such Securities are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee has been made.

SECTION 2.11 TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,

24

substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the Officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form.

Except in the case of Securities represented by a temporary global Security (which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the three succeeding paragraphs), if temporary Securities for some or all of the Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities representing such Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. Subject to Section 2.2, after the preparation of such definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities of like tenor upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.5 in a Place of Payment for such series for the purpose of exchanges of Securities of such series, 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 Principal Amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor of authorized denominations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no definitive Bearer Security or Permanent Global Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), if Bearer Securities of any series are represented by a Security in temporary global form, any such temporary global Security shall be delivered to the Depositary for the benefit of Euro-clear and Cedel S.A., for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct).

Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the Exchange Date, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee or paying agent outside the United States permanent Securities of the same series which may be in definitive or global form at the sole discretion of the Company, in aggregate Principal Amount equal to the Principal Amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee or paying agent outside the United States, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for permanent Securities of the same series which may be in definitive or global form at the sole discretion of the Company and of like tenor without charge and the authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global Security, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of definitive Securities or interests in the Permanent Global Bearer Security of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged. The permanent Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such

25

temporary global Security shall be in definitive bearer form or registered form, or shall be represented by a Permanent Global Bearer Security, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof, PROVIDED that no beneficial owner of a registered Temporary Global Bearer Security who is not a United States Alien or who is located in the United States shall be entitled to receive Bearer Securities.

Unless otherwise specified in any such Temporary Global Bearer Security, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series represented by such Temporary Global Bearer Security shall be exchanged for permanent Securities of the same series which may be in definitive or global form at the sole discretion of the Company and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euro-clear or Cedel S.A., as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euro-clear or Cedel S.A., as the case may be, any certificate specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a). Unless otherwise specified in such Temporary Global Bearer Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such Temporary Global Bearer Security, except that a person receiving permanent Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such person does not take delivery of such permanent Securities in person at the offices of Euro-clear or Cedel S.A.

Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as permanent Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), interest payable on a temporary global Security representing a series of Bearer Securities on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euro-clear and Cedel S.A. on such Interest Payment Date, upon delivery by Euro-clear and Cedel S.A. to a paying agent outside the United States of any certificate specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of the persons who are the beneficial owners of such Temporary Global Bearer Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euro-clear or Cedel S.A., as the case may be, any certificate specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a).

SECTION 2.12 CANCELLATION. All Securities or 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 all Registered Securities and matured coupons so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by it. All Bearer Securities and unmatured coupons so delivered shall be held by the Trustee and shall be cancelled. 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 (including Securities received by the Company in exchange or payment for other Securities of the Company) and may deliver to

26

the Trustee (or to any other person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Company may not reissue, or issue new Securities to replace, Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted in the form of Securities for any particular series or as permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures and a certificate of their destruction delivered to the Company unless the Company directs, by Company Order, that the Trustee deliver cancelled Securities to the Company.

SECTION 2.13 PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Registered 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. In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Any interest on any Registered Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "DEFAULTED INTEREST") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the 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 (1) or (2) below:

(1) 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) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security 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

27

Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities 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 (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Registered Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 2.8, 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 the right to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

SECTION 2.14 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 as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of Principal of and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) and subject to Sections 2.8 and 2.13) interest on such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered 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.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.1 RIGHT TO REDEEM; NOTICES TO TRUSTEE. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. In the case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, within the time period specified below, notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the Principal Amount of, and, of any other information necessary to identify the Securities of, such series to be redeemed and the Redemption Price (including the information set forth in clauses (4), (5) and
(6) of Section 3.3). 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.

The Company shall give the notice to the Trustee provided for in this
Section 3.1 at least 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

SECTION 3.2 SELECTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect to any series of Securities, if less than all the Securities of any series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the particular Securities to be redeemed by such method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate, which method 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 Registered Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series. The unredeemed portion of the Principal of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination)

29

for such Security. The Trustee shall make the selection not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date from Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly in writing of the Securities to be redeemed and, in the case of any portions of Securities to be redeemed, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.3 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect to any series of Securities, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed.

The notice shall identify the Securities (including CUSIP/ISIN numbers) to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date;

(2) the Redemption Price;

(3) if fewer 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 to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed;

(4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security (or portion thereof) to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date;

(5) the place or places where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and

(6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.

A notice of redemption with respect to Bearer Securities published as contemplated by Section 12.2 need not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed.

At the Company's written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company's name and at the Company's expense; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in all cases, the text of such Company notice shall be prepared by the Company.

30

SECTION 3.4 EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Once notice of redemption is given, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price stated in the notice, 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 accrued interest to the Redemption Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.3(a), only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), 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 according to their terms and the provisions of Sections 2.8 and 2.13.

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 a paying agent located outside the United States if there be furnished to the Company, the Trustee and such paying agent 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 any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a), only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the Principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.

SECTION 3.5 DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. On or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption

31

which prior thereto have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation. If such money is then held by the Company in trust and is not required for such purpose, it shall be discharged from such trust.

SECTION 3.6 SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART. Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with 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 upon such surrender, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, in an authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, equal in aggregate Principal Amount to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the Principal of the Security surrendered.

SECTION 4.1 PAYMENT OF SECURITIES. The Company shall promptly make all payments in respect of each series of Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and, to the extent not otherwise so provided, pursuant to this Indenture. An installment of Principal of or interest on the Securities shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or a Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on that date funds (in the currency or currencies of payment with respect to such Securities) designated for and sufficient to pay such installment. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) with respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on Bearer Securities on or before Maturity shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. At the Company's option, payments of Principal or interest may be made by check or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee (provided, in the case of Registered Securities, the Trustee has received written payment instructions at least fifteen days prior to any payment date) subject, in the case of Bearer Securities, to the provisions of Section 4.5.

SECTION 4.2 SEC REPORTS. The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after it files such annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports with the SEC, copies of its annual report and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company also shall comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a).

32

SECTION 4.3 COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATE. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 26, 1998) an Officers' Certificate stating whether or not the signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, such Officers' Certificate shall describe the Default and its status.

SECTION 4.4 FURTHER INSTRUMENTS AND ACTS. Upon request of the Trustee and subject to the Company's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

SECTION 4.5 MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for such series an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain (A) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, purchase or redemption 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 where Bearer Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment in the circumstances described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise), (B) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series which is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional amounts payable on Securities of that series pursuant to Section 4.6), and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The office of the Trustee at The First National Bank of Chicago, London Branch, 27 Leadenhall Street, London, England EC3A 1AA, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, shall be such office or agency for all of the aforesaid purposes (except that with respect to the presentation of Registered Securities for payment or for registration of transfer or exchange such office shall be the office of the Trustee at One First National Plaza, Suite 0126, Chicago, IL 60670-0126, Attention:
Corporate Trust Services Division) unless the Company shall maintain some other office or agency for such purposes and shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such other office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in respect of any series of Securities

33

or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders of Securities of that series may be made and notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in Section 12.2, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any additional amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to Section 4.6) at the place specified for that purpose as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) or, if no such place is specified, at the office of the paying agent and authenticating agent in London, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

No payment of Principal or interest on Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States, by check mailed to any address in the United States, by transfer to an account located in the United States or upon presentation or surrender in the United States of a Bearer Security or coupon for payment, even if the payment would be credited to an account located outside the United States; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Securities of a series are denominated and payable in Dollars, payment of Principal of and any interest on any such Bearer Security (including any additional amounts payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 4.6) shall be made at the office of the Company's Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such Principal, interest or additional amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States 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 such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

SECTION 4.6 ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. If specified as contemplated by
Section 2.3(a), the Securities of a series may provide for the payment of additional amounts, and in such case, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or any coupon appertaining thereto additional amounts as provided therein. Wherever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the Principal of or any interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or payment of any related coupon, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as

34

excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which payment of Principal is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of Principal and any 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 Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of Principal of and any interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that 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 that 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 will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required by the Securities of such series and this Section. 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 4.7 LIMITATION ON LIENS.

The Company shall not create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any Restricted Property to secure any Debt of the Company, any Subsidiary or any other person, or permit any Subsidiary so to do, without securing the Securities having the benefit of this covenant by such Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt for so long as such Debt shall be so secured, subject to the following exceptions: (a) with respect to any series of Securities, Liens existing on the date of issuance of such series; (b) Liens on Restricted Property of corporations at the time they become Subsidiaries; (c) Liens existing on Restricted Property when acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary (including through merger or consolidation); (d) Liens to secure Debt incurred to finance the purchase price, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of Restricted Property; (e) Liens securing Debt of a Subsidiary owing to the Company or another Subsidiary; (f) Liens securing industrial development, pollution control, or similar revenue bonds or in favor of governmental bodies to secure progress, advance or other payments pursuant to any contract or provision of law; (g) Liens (i) to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of any Restricted Property or the cost of construction, installation, renovation, improvement or development thereon or thereof or (ii) to secure any Debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 360 days after the later of the acquisition, the completion of such construction, installation,

35

renovation, improvement or development or the commencement of full operation of such property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost thereof; (h) Liens otherwise prohibited by this Section 4.7, securing Debt which, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all other Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries owning Restricted Property which is secured by Liens that would otherwise be prohibited by this
Section 4.7 and the Value of Sale and Leaseback Transactions effected in accordance with this clause (h), does not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets; and (i) any extension, renewal or refunding of any Liens referred to in the foregoing clauses; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of this clause (i), the principal amount of debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of debt, plus any premium or fee payable in connection with any such extension, renewal, replacement or refunding, so secured at the time of such extension, renewal, replacement or refunding.

SECTION 4.8 LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS.

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless (a) the Company or such Subsidiary would be entitled under Section 4.7 to incur Debt in a principal amount equal to the Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, secured by Liens on the facilities to be leased, without equally and ratably securing the Securities having the benefit of this covenant, or (b) the Company or such Subsidiary, during the six months following the effective date of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, applies an amount equal to the Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction to the acquisition of Restricted Property or to the retirement of Securities or Funded Debt, whether by redemption, defeasance, repurchase or otherwise, and after crediting to the amount applied pursuant to this provision the principal amount of any Securities or Funded Debt retired or delivered to the Trustee for retirement and cancellation during the six months immediately following the effective date of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

(2) the Company fails to comply with any of its agreements in the Securities or this Indenture (other than those referred to in clause (1) above and other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere

37

in this Section specifically dealt with or which has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than such series) and such failure continues for 90 days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default;

(3) the Company defaults under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or under any mortgage, indenture, guaranty or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall have resulted in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, without such indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within a period of 30 days after there shall have been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, PROVIDED that no Event of Default under this subsection (3) shall be deemed to exist as a result of the acceleration of any such indebtedness if the principal of and interest on such indebtedness, when added to the principal of and interest on all other such indebtedness which has been accelerated as aforesaid (excluding any such indebtedness which has been discharged or as to which the acceleration has been duly rescinded or annulled), shall not exceed $50,000,000;

(4) there shall have been the entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of (a) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or
(b) a decree or order adjudging the Company bankrupt or insolvent, or 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 wind up or liquidation of its affairs, and any such decree or order for relief shall continue to be in effect, or any such other decree or order shall be unstayed and in effect, for a period of 60 consecutive days;

(y) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or (z) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due or
(e) the Company takes any corporate action in furtherance of any such actions in this clause (5); or

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

"BANKRUPTCY LAW" means title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. "CUSTODIAN" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

A Default under clause (2) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in clause (2) above after receipt of such notice. Any such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a "NOTICE OF DEFAULT."

SECTION 6.2 ACCELERATION; RESCISSION. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(3) or (4)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Principal Amount (or, if any of the Securities of that series are Discount Securities, such portion of the Principal Amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities of that series to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such Principal (or portion thereof) shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(3) or (4) occurs and is continuing, the Principal (or portion thereof) of all the Securities of that series shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Securityholder) may rescind an acceleration with respect to that series and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and all existing Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series have been cured or waived except nonpayment of the Principal (or portion thereof) of Securities of such series that has become due solely as a result of such acceleration and if all amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 7.7 have been paid. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

39

SECTION 6.3 OTHER REMEDIES. If an Event of Default with respect to a series of Outstanding Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to (a) collect the payment of the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for Principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue Principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest from the date such interest was due, 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 amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7 or (b) enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the Securities or coupons or does not produce any of the Securities or coupons in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.4 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to any other Securityholder), may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related coupons waive an existing Default with respect to such series and its consequences except (1) an Event of Default described in Section 6.1(1) with respect to such series or (2) a Default in respect of a provision that under
Section 9.2 cannot be amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

SECTION 6.5 CONTROL BY MAJORITY. The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

SECTION 6.6 LIMITATION ON SUITS. A Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupons may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series is continuing;

40

(2) the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense satisfactory to the Trustee;

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the notice, the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request during such 60-day period.

SECTION 7.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If a Default with respect to the Securities of any series occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Holder of Securities of such series notice of such Default in the manner set forth in TIA Section 315(b) within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default described in

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders of Securities shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that series may be listed. The Company agrees to notify the Trustee whenever the Securities of a particular series become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.7 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Company agrees:

46

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as agreed to between the Company and the Trustee in writing, (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b) 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, advances and disbursements of its agents and counsel), PROVIDED that the Company will not be required to pay such fees and expenses of separate counsel if it assumes the Trustee's defense and, in the reasonable judgment of both the Company and the Trustee, there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense.

The Company's payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall survive the discharge or other termination of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.1(3) or (4), the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.8 REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no such resignation shall be effective until a successor Trustee has accepted its appointment pursuant to this Section 7.8.

47

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 or materially breaches any of its other obligations hereunder;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(3) a receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

In the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, subject to the rights of the retiring Trustee pursuant to
Section 7.7, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of Securities of the particular series with respect to which such successor Trustee has been appointed. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7.

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

48

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 and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company 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, subject, nevertheless, to its lien, if any, provided for in Section 7.7.

If a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series at the time outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of a Security of such series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.9 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.10 ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9). In determining whether the Trustee has conflicting interests as defined in TIA
Section 310(b)(1), the provisions contained in the proviso to TIA Section 310(b)(1) shall be deemed incorporated herein.

SECTION 7.11 PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.3 of the option applicable to this Section 8.4, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Defeased Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the defeased Securities, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Sections 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 2.12, 4.1, 4.5, 6.6, 6.7, 7.7, 7.8 and 8.2 of this Indenture and the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied all its other obligations under such series of Securities and this Indenture insofar as such series of Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, and, upon written request, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same) subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.6 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (3) this Article VIII.

(3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 6.4 or 6.7, except to increase the percentage of Outstanding Securities of such series required for such actions or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby.

A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this
Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment or supplemental indenture under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to each Holder of the particular Securities affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment.

SECTION 9.3 COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

54

SECTION 9.4 REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS, WAIVERS AND ACTIONS. Until an amendment or waiver with respect to a series of Securities becomes effective, a consent to it or any other action by a Holder of a Security of that series hereunder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of that Security that evidences the same obligation as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent, waiver or action as to such Holder's Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the Company or an agent of the Company certifies to the Trustee that the consent of the requisite aggregate Principal Amount of the Securities of that series has been obtained. After an amendment, waiver or action becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of Securities of that series.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment or waiver with respect to a series of Securities. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the first two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders of Securities of that series at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

SECTION 9.5 NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES. Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture with respect to such series pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of such series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors (and satisfactory to the Trustee), 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 that series.

SECTION 9.6 TRUSTEE TO SIGN SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. The Trustee shall sign any supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such amendment, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to the provisions of Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

SECTION 9.7 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

55

purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby, except to the extent otherwise set forth thereon.

ARTICLE X

SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 10.1 APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) 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 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 10.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such series.

SECTION 10.2 SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES. The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity (other than any previously called for redemption), together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto, and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity 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 mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series with the same issue date, interest rate and Stated Maturity; 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 10.3 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND. Not less than 60 days (or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) 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 10.2 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund

56

payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.2 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 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.4 and 3.6.

SECTION 11.3 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 (1) a Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series, or (2) 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

57

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.

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 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 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

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 11.5 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 a 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

58

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 11.7 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in
Section 11.7 or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker authorized by
Section 11.7 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 11.7 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 11.2 (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 vote with respect to the 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 to 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 11.2 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by persons entitled to vote a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

SECTION 11.6 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 signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the Principal Amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 11.2 and,

59

if applicable, Section 11.4. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

SECTION 11.7 ACTIONS OF HOLDERS GENERALLY. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by 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 Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of 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 this Article, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. 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 7.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and 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 11.6.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the persons executing the same, may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) The Principal Amount and serial numbers of Registered Securities held by the person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the books of the Registrar.

(d) The 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 by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, as depositary, if such certificate shall be deemed by 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 Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other person, or

60

(3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The 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 which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act of the Holder of any Security in accordance with this Section 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.

(f) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act in accordance with this Section, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or such other act, 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 act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite percentage of Outstanding Securities or Outstanding Securities of a series, as the case may be, have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities or Outstanding Securities of the series, as the case may be, shall be computed as of such record date; PROVIDED, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of clause (a) of this Section 11.7 not later than six months after the record date.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give notice to Holders of Registered Securities by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the acceptance of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder 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.

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.

SECTION 12.3 COMMUNICATION BY HOLDERS WITH OTHER HOLDERS.

SECTION 12.7 RULES BY TRUSTEE, PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. With respect to the Securities of a particular series, the Trustee with respect to such series of Securities may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Holders of such series of Securities. With respect to the Securities of a particular series, the Registrar and the Paying Agent with respect to such series of Securities may make reasonable rules for their functions.

SECTION 12.8 LEGAL HOLIDAYS. A "LEGAL HOLIDAY" is any day other than a Business Day. If any specified date (including an Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security, or a date for giving notice) is a Legal Holiday at any Place of Payment or place for giving notice, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities or coupons other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment of interest or Principal need not be made at such Place of Payment, or such other action need not be taken, on such date, but the action shall be taken on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity or such other date and to the extent applicable no Original Issue Discount or interest, if any, shall accrue for the intervening period.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities (herein called the "Securities") of the Company (which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), issued and to be issued pursuant to such Indenture. This Note is one of a series designated by the Company as its 7.45% Senior Notes due May 15, 2005, limited in aggregate principal amount to $350,000,000. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of the Securities.

The Company issued this Note pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1998 (herein called the "Indenture"), between the Company and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

The Notes are issuable in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of any authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same, upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency described below where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer.

The Notes are not entitled to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments. However, the Notes are redeemable, at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on at least 30 but no more than 60 days prior written notice mailed to DTC, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined herein) on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis, at the Treasury Rate (as defined herein) plus 37.5 basis points plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. Interest on the Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) is deposited with the Trustee on or before the Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes. "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers (as defined herein) appointed by the Company.

"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

"Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Goldman, Sachs & Co., Chase Securities Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and their respective successors and, at the option of the Company, additional Primary Treasury Dealers; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

"Remaining Scheduled Payments" means the remaining scheduled payments of the principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if such Redemption Date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is prior to the Redemption Date of any Note will be payable to the Holder of such Note, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date referred to above, all as provided in the Indenture.

All notices of redemption shall state the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, if fewer than all the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed, that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note, or portion thereof, to be redeemed, that interest on each Note, or portion thereof, called for redemption will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date and the place or places where Notes may be surrendered for redemption. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of such Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

For all purposes of this Note and the Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption by the Company of this Note shall relate, in the case that this Note is redeemed or to be redeemed by the Company only in part to that portion of the principal amount of this Note that has been or is to be redeemed.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or, subject to the provisions for satisfaction and discharge in Article Eight, of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Thereafter, Holders would be able to look only to such trust fund for payment of principal and interest at the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be. The Indenture also permits, in certain circumstances therein specified, the Company to be released from certain of its obligations under the Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions therein provided.

TRICON GLOBAL RESTAURANTS, INC.
7.65% SENIOR NOTE DUE MAY 15, 2008

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities (herein called the "Securities") of the Company (which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), issued and to be issued pursuant to such Indenture. This Note is one of a series designated by the Company as its 7.65% Senior Notes due May 15, 2008, limited in aggregate principal amount to $250,000,000. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of the Securities.

The Company issued this Note pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1998 (herein called the "Indenture"), between the Company and The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.

The Notes are issuable in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of any authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same, upon surrender of the Note or Notes to be exchanged at any office or agency described below where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer.

The Notes are not entitled to any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments. However, the Notes are redeemable, at the option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on at least 30 but no more than 60 days prior written notice mailed to DTC, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined herein) on the Notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semiannual basis, at the Treasury Rate (as defined herein) plus 50 basis points plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. Interest on the Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

If money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on all Notes (or portions thereof) is deposited with the Trustee on or before the Redemption Date and certain other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest will cease to accrue on the Notes (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.

"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes. "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers (as defined herein) appointed by the Company.

3

"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
(i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such business day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Quotations. "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the third business day preceding such Redemption Date.

"Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Goldman, Sachs & Co., Chase Securities Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and their respective successors and, at the option of the Company, additional Primary Treasury Dealers; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

"Remaining Scheduled Payments" means the remaining scheduled payments of the principal of and interest on the Notes that would be due after the related Redemption Date but for such redemption; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if such Redemption Date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Notes, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such Redemption Date.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is prior to the Redemption Date of any Note will be payable to the Holder of such Note, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date referred to above, all as provided in the Indenture.

All notices of redemption shall state the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, if fewer than all the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed, that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note, or portion thereof, to be redeemed, that interest on each Note, or portion thereof, called for redemption will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date and the place or places where Notes may be surrendered for redemption. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of such Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

4

In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in authorized denominations in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

For all purposes of this Note and the Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption by the Company of this Note shall relate, in the case that this Note is redeemed or to be redeemed by the Company only in part to that portion of the principal amount of this Note that has been or is to be redeemed.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Notes may not enforce their rights pursuant to the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, in certain circumstances therein specified, the amendment thereof without the consent of the Holders of the Securities. The Indenture also permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations under the Indenture of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or, subject to the provisions for satisfaction and discharge in Article Eight, of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

The Indenture permits the Company, by irrevocably depositing, in amounts and maturities sufficient to pay and discharge at the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be, the entire indebtedness on all Outstanding Notes, cash or direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are fully guaranteed by, the United States government, and which are not subject to prepayment, redemption or call, with the Trustee in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of all Outstanding Notes, to defease the Indenture with respect to such Notes, and upon such deposit the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged its entire indebtedness on such Notes. Thereafter, Holders would be able to look only to such trust fund for payment of principal and interest at the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be. The Indenture also permits, in certain circumstances therein specified, the Company to be released from certain of its obligations under the Indenture on the terms and subject to the conditions therein provided.

5

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the register of Securities, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge shall be made by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 3.6 or 9.5 of the Indenture, not involving any transfer).

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
