Section 2.05. Execution of Securities .

In case any Responsible Officer of the Issuer who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such officer before the relevant Security shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such officer of the Issuer. Any Security may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by any such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security, shall be a Responsible Officer of the Issuer, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture such person was not such an officer.

Section 2.06. Certificate of Authentication . Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in an authorized form herein recited, executed by or on behalf of the Trustee by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Trustee or, as contemplated by Section 5.13, by an Authenticating Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee or Authenticating Agent upon any Security executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.07. Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest . The Securities shall be issuable as Registered Securities and in minimum denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.03. The Securities of any series shall be issuable in denominations of U.S.$2,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, or such other denominations and integral multiples as the Issuer may designate in an indenture supplemental hereto or in or pursuant to a Board Resolution under which such series of Securities is issued and set forth in one or more Officer’s Certificates. The Securities shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the officer or officers of the Issuer executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee, as evidenced by the execution and authentication thereof.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest, if any, from the date and shall be payable on the dates, in each case, which shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.03.

The person in whose name any Registered Security of any series is registered at the close of business on any record date applicable to such series with respect to any interest payment date for such series shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to the record date and prior to such interest payment date, except if and to the extent that the Issuer shall default in the payment of the interest due on such interest payment date for such series, in which case such defaulted interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names Outstanding Securities for such series are registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date (which shall be not less than ten days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest) established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Issuer to the Holders of the Securities of such series not less than 15 days preceding such subsequent record date. The term “ record date ” as used with respect to any interest payment date for the Securities of any particular

9

series (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) shall mean the date specified as such in the terms of such Securities, or, if no such date is so specified, if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar month, the fifteenth day of the next preceding calendar month or, if such interest payment date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month, the first day of such calendar month, whether or not such record date is a Business Day.

Section 2.08. Registration, Transfer and Exchange . The Issuer will keep or cause to be kept at each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02 a register or registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will register, and will register the transfer of, Registered Securities as in this Article provided. Such register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all times during normal business hours on Business Days such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee.

Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name or names of the transferee or transferees, a new Security or Securities of the same series in authorized denominations for a like aggregate principal amount.

Securities of any series to be exchanged shall be surrendered at any office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Security or Securities of the same series which the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

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

Section 2.09. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities . In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer in its discretion may execute, and, upon the written request of any Responsible Officer of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Security of the same series, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or

theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. In every case of mutilation or defacement, the applicant shall surrender the Security to the Trustee or such agent.

Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee or its agent) connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

Every substitute Security of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.09, by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost or stolen, shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.10. Cancellation of Securities . All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Issuer or any agent of the Issuer or the paying agent, shall be delivered to the paying agent for cancellation or, if surrendered to the paying agent, shall be canceled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The paying agent shall dispose of canceled Securities held by it in accordance with the paying agent’s procedures for the disposition of canceled securities in effect as of the date of such disposition and, upon prior written request, deliver a certificate of disposition to the Issuer. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the paying agent for cancellation.

Section 2.11. Temporary Securities . Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the Issuer may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable as Registered Securities without coupons, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Issuer with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Issuer and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall execute and furnish definitive Securities of such series, and thereupon temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Issuer for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.02, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities of such series a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series, unless otherwise established pursuant to Section 2.03.

Section 2.12. Japanese Withholding Tax.

(a)    In compliance with Japanese tax laws and the practices of taxing authorities in Japan, in respect of any interest payment on a series of Securities issued in global or book-entry form pursuant to this Indenture or any supplemental indenture hereto, any paying agent shall act in accordance with the Operating Manual—Japanese Withholding Tax on Certain International Issues Held Through DTC (as may be amended from time to time by notice from the International Capital Market Association, the “ DTC Procedures ”), if DTC is acting as Clearing Organization with respect to such series or with respect to depositary interests representing the Securities of such series, or in accordance with such other similar procedures as may be established by another Clearing Organization. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, any such paying agent shall be responsible only for performing such services as are specifically provided for in the DTC Procedures or such other procedures actually known by the paying agent, as applicable and as may be amended or modified and communicated to the paying agent from time to time. Any such paying agent and the Issuer may rely on the information provided in the claim for exemption from Japanese withholding taxes and other documentation in the absence of actual knowledge to the contrary.

(b)    If any interest payment on a series of Securities is due to be made hereunder, and if and so long as payments of interest (if any) by the Issuer to any paying agent may be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of Japanese tax only upon receipt of certifications, claims for exemption, notifications or other documentation in compliance with Japanese tax law requirements (“ Tax Documentation ”), the relevant paying agent, at the direction of the Issuer, shall (i) collect the required Tax Documentation from the Clearing Organization (or Holders of the Securities, if definitive Securities representing such series have been issued); (ii) provide any required confirmations of information available to it; and (iii) deliver such Tax Documentation to, or on the order of, the Issuer via e-mail no later than two Business Days prior to the relevant interest payment date, for filing with the relevant Japanese district tax office. Any such paying agent may rely on the information provided in Tax Documentation (including, where relevant, supporting documentation) in the absence of actual knowledge that such information is incorrect.

(c)    If the beneficial owner of the Securities satisfies the requirements for claiming an exemption from Japanese withholding tax after the date on which an amount in respect of such tax is withheld and before the date on which the tax is actually paid to the Japanese taxing authority, then the Issuer or the paying agent acting at the direction of the Issuer, may, to the extent reasonably practicable and not prohibited by Japanese tax law, repay the amount withheld (after deduction of reasonable costs, including amounts in respect of changes in foreign exchange rates) to the Holder.

(d)    If (i) subsequent to making a payment on the Securities without withholding or deduction of Japanese taxes the Issuer is required to remit to the Japanese taxing authority any amount in respect of Japanese taxes that should have been withheld or deducted from such payment (together with any interest and penalties) due to the failure of the beneficial owner to provide accurate Interest Recipient Information or to otherwise properly claim an exemption from Japanese taxes imposed with respect to such payment, and (ii) such beneficial owner would not have been entitled to receive Additional Amounts with respect to such payment had Japanese taxes been withheld from the payment when it was made, such beneficial owner (but not any subsequent beneficial owner of the Securities) shall be required to reimburse the Issuer, in Japanese yen, for the amount remitted by the Issuer to the Japanese taxing authority. The Issuer shall notify, directly or through a paying agent or relevant Clearing Organization, such beneficial owner of the amount to be reimbursed to the Issuer.

(e)    The paying agent shall furnish forms of certifications to Holders upon request, and shall use reasonable endeavors to assist Holders in claiming available exemptions, but shall not be liable for a Holder’s failure to qualify for such an exemption. Neither the Issuer nor the paying agent shall have any liability for any withholding of tax arising as a result of a late delivery of the required Tax Documentation or incorrectly completed Tax Documentation.

12

Based on the Tax Documentation received, the paying agent will make the appropriate calculations of interest payable after making the relevant deductions in accordance with this Section 2.12. The paying agent shall remit all amounts of tax withheld under this Section 2.12 to or to the order of the Issuer as soon as reasonably practicable in order to enable the Issuer to make the necessary payments to the relevant tax office in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

The paying agent shall retain copies of Tax Documentation for a period of five years from the date of receipt and shall make such documentation available for inspection by the Issuer and any relevant tax authorities in Japan upon written request given reasonable notice from the Issuer.

The Issuer shall make any required withholding or deduction and remit the full amount withheld or deducted to the Japanese taxing authority in accordance with applicable law. The Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge so withheld or deducted from the Japanese taxing authority imposing such tax, duty, assessment or other governmental charge, and if certified copies are not available, the Issuer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall make such certified copies or other evidence available to the Holders or beneficial owners upon reasonable request to the Trustee.

Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, ISIN Numbers and Common Codes . The Issuer, in issuing the Securities of any series, may use CUSIP numbers, ISIN numbers and/or common codes, if then generally in use, and, if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers, ISIN numbers and/or common codes in notices of redemption of Securities of such series as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISIN numbers or common codes for any Securities Outstanding.

Section 3.01. Payment of Principal and Interest . The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of Securities of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest on, each of the Securities of such series (together with any Additional Amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) at the place or places, at the respective times and in the manner provided in such Securities. Subject to any other provisions that may be established pursuant to Section 2.03, the interest on Securities (together with any Additional Amounts payable pursuant to the terms of such Securities) shall be payable only to or upon the written order of the Holders thereof and, at the option of the Issuer, may be paid by wire transfer.

All payments in respect of the Securities will be subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal laws or other laws and regulations, and, except as provided in Section 3.05, no Additional Amounts will be payable as a result of the withholding or deduction of any taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied as a result of such laws or regulations. Any amount withheld from payments on the Securities will be treated as paid to the Holders thereof.

The interest, if any, due in respect of any temporary or definitive Security, together with any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof, as provided in the terms and conditions of such Security, shall be payable, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.05, only upon presentation of such Security to the Trustee thereof for notation thereon of the payment of such interest and any Additional Amounts.

13

Section 3.02 . Offices for Payments, Registration, etc. So long as any of the Securities of any series remains outstanding, the Issuer will maintain in each Place of Payment for such series an office or agency (a) where the Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for payment, (b) where Registered Securities of such series may be presented or surrendered for registration or registration of transfer and for exchange as provided in this Indenture and (c) where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of such series or of this Indenture may be served. The Issuer will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of any change of location thereof. Unless otherwise specified in accordance with Section 2.03, the Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as the office to be maintained by it for each such purpose in relation to Registered Securities. In case the Issuer shall fail to so designate or maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office.

The Issuer may from time to time designate one or more offices or agencies (in addition to or in lieu of the office or agency established pursuant to the preceding paragraph) where the Securities of a series may be presented or surrendered for payment and where Registered Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for registration or registration of transfer as provided in this Indenture, and the Issuer may from time to time rescind any such designation, as the Issuer may deem desirable or expedient; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain the agencies provided for in this Section 3.02. The Issuer will give to the Trustee prompt written notice of any such designation or rescission thereof.

Section 3.03 . Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Issuer, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 5.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to each series of Securities hereunder.

Section 3.04 . Paying Agents. The Bank of New York Mellon is hereby appointed by the Issuer, and The Bank of New York Mellon accepts such appointment, as the initial paying agent. Such paying agent hereby agrees, and whenever the Issuer shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.04,

(a)    that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Issuer or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series or of the Trustee and that it will pay the principal of, and interest on, each series of Securities as provided in this Indenture;

(b)    that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Issuer (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable; and

(c)    that it will pay any such sums so held in trust by it to the Trustee upon the Trustee’s written request at any time during the continuance of the failure referred to in subsection (b) above.

The Issuer will, on or prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series deposit or cause to be deposited with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due, and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. The paying agent shall not be bound to make any payment until it has received in immediately available and cleared funds the full amount due to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 3.04(c).

14

If the Issuer shall act as its own paying agent with respect to the Securities of any series, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series a sum sufficient to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

Anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer or any paying agent hereunder, as required by this Section 3.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained.

Anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 3.04 is subject to the provisions of Sections 9.03 and 9.04.

Section 3.05 . Payment of Additional Amounts. Unless otherwise established in accordance with Section 2.03, payments of principal and interest in respect of the Securities shall be made by the Issuer without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of Japan, or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax (“ Taxes ”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In such event, the Issuer shall pay to a Holder such additional amounts (“ Additional Amounts ”) as will result in the receipt by the Holder of such amounts as would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to any Securities under any of the following circumstances:

(i)    the Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation and is liable for such Taxes in respect of such Securities by reason of its (A) having some connection with Japan other than the mere holding of such Securities or (B) being a person having a special relationship with the Issuer as described in Article 6, Paragraph (4) of the Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan (Act No. 26 of 1957, as amended) (the “ Special Taxation Measures Act ” and, each such person, a “ specially-related person of the Issuer ”);

(ii)    the Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities would otherwise be exempt from any such withholding or deduction but fails to comply with any applicable requirement to provide Interest Recipient Information or to submit a Tax Exemption Application to the relevant paying agent to whom the relevant Securities are presented (where presentation is required), or whose Interest Recipient Information is not duly communicated through the relevant Participant and the relevant international Clearing Organization to such paying agent;

(iii)    the Holder or beneficial owner of the Securities is for Japanese tax purposes treated as an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation (except for (A) a Designated Financial Institution that complies with the requirement to provide Interest Recipient Information or to submit a Tax Exemption Application and (B) an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation that duly notifies (directly or through the relevant Participant or otherwise) the relevant paying agent of its status as not being subject to withholding or deduction by the Issuer by reason of receipt by such individual resident of Japan or Japanese corporation of interest on the relevant Securities through a payment handling agent in Japan appointed by it);

(iv)    the Securities are presented for payment (where presentation is required) more than 30 days after the day on which such payment on the Securities became due or after the full payment was provided for, whichever occurs later, except to the extent the Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional Amounts on presenting the same for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days;

15

(v)    the Holder of the Securities is a fiduciary or partnership or is not the sole beneficial owner of the payment of the principal of, or any interest on, the Securities, and Japanese law requires the payment to be included for tax purposes in the income of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or another beneficial owner, in each case, that would not have been entitled to Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of such Securities; or

(vi)    any combination of the above.

No Additional Amounts will be payable for or on account of any deduction or withholding imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”) and the U.S. Treasury regulations thereunder and any other official guidance thereunder (“ FATCA ”), any intergovernmental agreement entered into with respect to FATCA, or any law or regulation adopted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States with respect to any of the foregoing or any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code.

Where Securities are held through a participant of an international Clearing Organization or a financial intermediary (each, a “ Participant ”), in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Issuer for or on account of Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner is (A) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a specially-related person of the Issuer) or (B) a Japanese financial institution falling under certain categories prescribed by the Special Taxation Measures Act (a “ Designated Financial Institution ”), each such beneficial owner shall, at the time of entrusting a Participant with the custody of the relevant Securities, provide certain information prescribed by the Special Taxation Measures Act to enable the Participant to establish that such beneficial owner is exempted from the requirement for withholding or deduction of such Taxes (“ Interest Recipient Information ”), and advise the Participant if the beneficial owner ceases to be so exempted (including the case in which a beneficial owner who is an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation becomes a specially-related person of the Issuer).

Where Securities are not held through a Participant, in order to receive payments free of withholding or deduction by the Issuer for, or on account of, Taxes, if the relevant beneficial owner is (A) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation (other than a specially-related person of the Issuer) or (B) a Designated Financial Institution, each such beneficial owner shall, prior to each time at which it receives interest, submit to the relevant paying agent a written application for tax exemption ( hikazei tekiyo shinkokusho ) (a “ Tax Exemption Application ”), in a form obtainable from the paying agent stating, inter alia , the name and address (and, if applicable, the Japanese individual or corporation ID number) of the beneficial owner, the title of the Securities, the relevant interest payment date, the amount of interest and the fact that the beneficial owner is qualified to submit the Tax Exemption Application, together with documentary evidence regarding its identity and residence.

By subscribing to the Securities as part of the distribution under the applicable underwriting agreement by the underwriters party thereto, a Holder shall be deemed to have represented that it is a beneficial owner who is, (i) for Japanese tax purposes, neither an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation, nor an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a specially-related person of the Issuer or (ii) a Japanese financial institution, designated in Article 6, Paragraph (9) of the Special Taxation Measures Act.

The obligation to pay Additional Amounts with respect to any taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges shall not apply to (A) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or any similar tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge or (B) any tax, duty, assessment, fee or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from payments of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities; provided that, except as otherwise set forth in the Securities and in this Indenture, the Issuer shall pay all stamp, court or documentary taxes or any excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by Japan, the United States or any

16

political subdivision or any taxing authority thereof or therein, with respect to the execution and enforcement of this Indenture or as a consequence of the initial issuance, execution, delivery or registration of the Securities.

In order to comply with applicable tax laws, rules and regulations (inclusive of directives, guidelines and interpretations promulgated by competent authorities) in effect from time to time ( “Applicable Law” ), the Issuer agrees (i) to provide to the Trustee and the paying agent, upon their request, sufficient information to which the Issuer has reasonable access about holders or other applicable parties and/or transactions (including any modification to the terms of such transactions) so the Trustee and the paying agent can determine whether it has tax related obligations under Applicable Law, and (ii) that the Trustee and the paying agent shall be entitled to make any withholding or deduction from payments under this Indenture and the Securities to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Law. The terms of this section shall survive the termination of the Indenture, repayment of the Securities and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the paying agent.

Section 3.06 . Certificate of the Issuer. So long as any Securities are Outstanding under this Indenture, the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee within 180 days of the end of the Issuer’s fiscal year each year (beginning with the year following the first issuance of any Securities pursuant to this Indenture) a brief certificate (which need not comply with Section 10.05) from the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Issuer as to his or her knowledge of the Issuer’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture) substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which certificate shall comply with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 3.07 . Securityholders Lists. If and so long as the Trustee shall not be the Security registrar for the Securities of any series, the Issuer will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of the Securities of such series pursuant to Section 312 of the Trust Indenture Act (a) not more than 15 days after each record date for the payment of interest on such Securities, as hereinabove specified, as of such record date and on dates to be determined pursuant to Section 2.03 for non-interest bearing securities in each year, and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Issuer of any such request as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished.

Section 3.08 . Reports b y t he Issuer. The Issuer covenants to file with the Trustee, within 30 days after the Issuer files the same with the Commission, copies of any annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports that the Issuer may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute actual or constructive notice or knowledge of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate).

Section 3.09 . Reports by the Trustee. Any Trustee’s report required under Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be transmitted on or before July 1 in each year following the date hereof, so long as any Securities are Outstanding hereunder, and shall be dated as of a date convenient to the Trustee no more than 60 nor less than 45 days prior thereto.

Section 3.10 . Statement by Officers as to Event of Default. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, reasonably promptly after the Issuer becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 3.11 . Negative Pledge. If so provided for in accordance with Section 2.03 or by any applicable supplemental indenture, so long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Issuer will not create or permit to subsist any Lien on any of its property, assets or revenues, present or future, to secure, for the benefit of the

17

holders of Public External Indebtedness, payment of any sum owing in respect of any such Public External Indebtedness, any payment under any guarantee of any such Public External Indebtedness or any payment under any indemnity or other like obligation relating to any such Public External Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made to secure such Outstanding Securities equally and ratably with such Public External Indebtedness with a similar Lien on the same property, assets or revenues securing such Public External Indebtedness for so long as such Public External Indebtedness are secured by such Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this restriction will not apply to Liens on money paid to or money or securities deposited by the Issuer with a paying agent, trustee or depository to pay, defease or discharge in full over time the Issuer’s obligations in respect of other Public External Indebtedness (provided that such money or securities so paid or deposited, and the proceeds therefrom, will be sufficient to pay or discharge such obligations in full).

Unless otherwise set forth in any applicable supplemental indenture or pursuant to a Board Resolution and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate under which such series of Securities is issued, if, to the Trustee’s knowledge, any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall send notice of such Event of Default to each Holder within 90 days of its occurrence, or, if later, within 15 days after such Event of Default if notified in writing to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless the Event of Default has been cured.

Unless otherwise set forth in any applicable supplemental indenture or pursuant to a Board Resolution and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to a series, then, and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all of the Securities of such series has already become due and payable, either the Trustee (subject to receiving indemnity and/or security and/or prefunding to its satisfaction) or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding hereunder may, by notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), declare the entire principal (or, if the Securities of any such affected series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of all Securities of such series, and the interest accrued thereon, to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become immediately due and payable.

The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of the Securities of any series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) and the principal of any and all Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series (or at the respective rates of interest or Yields to Maturity of all the Securities, as the case may be) to the date of such payment or deposit) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and costs properly incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and if any and all Events of Default with respect to such series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein—then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities of each such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) then Outstanding (in each case, treated as one class), by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to each such series (or with respect to all the Securities, as the case may be) and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such

19

Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.

Section 4.02 . Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. The Issuer covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any series when such interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of such series or upon any redemption or by declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all Securities of such series for principal or interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest, at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and costs properly incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor trustee except as a result of its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Issuer may pay the principal of and interest on the Securities of any series to the Holders, whether or not the principal of and interest on the Securities of such series be overdue.

In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Issuer or other obligor upon such Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

In case there shall be pending judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities under any applicable bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization or insolvency, or a liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor, or in case of any other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.02, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such judicial proceedings or otherwise:

(a)    to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest (or, if the Securities of any series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of any series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and costs properly incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor trustee, except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) and of the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Securities of any series, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer or such other obligor,

20

(b)    unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Securities of any series in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee or receiver or standby receiver in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy, civil rehabilitation, reorganization or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable judicial proceedings, and

(c)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and costs properly incurred, all amounts for which the Trustee and any Agent are entitled to indemnification under or pursuant to this Indenture and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor trustee except as a result of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, rehabilitation, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding, except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such action was taken.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities in respect to which such action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities parties to any such proceedings.

Section 4.0 3. Application of Proceeds. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article in respect of any series shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such monies on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the several Securities in respect of which monies have been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities of such series in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Securities of like series if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of fees, costs and expenses applicable to such series in respect of which monies have been collected, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor trustee, any Agent and their respective agents and attorneys and of all expenses and costs properly incurred (including any amounts to which the Trustee, each predecessor trustee or any Agent are entitled to indemnification by the Issuer under or pursuant to this Indenture), and all advances made, by the Trustee, each predecessor trustee and any Agent, subject to Section 5.06.

SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which monies have been collected shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities of such series in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments

21

of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in such Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities of such series in respect of which monies have been collected shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities of such series for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) specified in the Securities of such series; and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities of such series, then to the payment of such principal and interest or Yield to Maturity, without preference or priority of principal over interest or Yield to Maturity, or of interest or Yield to Maturity over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security of such series over any other Security of such series, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest or Yield to Maturity; and

FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Issuer for itself and for any other person lawfully entitled thereto, as applicable.

Section 4.04. Suits for Enforcement . In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law and any Agent shall comply with the Trustee’s instructions in furtherance of such rights.

Section 4.05. Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceeding . In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 4.06. Limitations on Suits by Securityholder . No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each affected series then Outstanding (treated as a single class) shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity and/or security (including by way of pre-funding) as satisfactory to the Trustee as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be suffered or incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and/or security (including by way of pre-funding) shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.09 within such 60-day period; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of any series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the

22

manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders of Securities of the applicable series. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section 4.06, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Section 4.07. Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Institute Certain Suits . Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 4.08. Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default . Except as provided in Section 4.06 and the last sentence of Section 2.09, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Securityholder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 4.06, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

Section 4.09. Control by Securityholders . The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected (with all such series voting as a single class) at the time Outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by this Indenture; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and provided further that (subject to the provisions of Section 5.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forebearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities of all series so affected not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 5.01) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forebearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Securityholders.

Section 4.10. Waiver of Past Default . Prior to the acceleration of the maturity of any Securities as provided in Section 4.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series at the time Outstanding with respect to which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (voting as a single class) may on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities waive any past default or Event of Default described in Section 4.01 and its consequences, except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security affected. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all such Securities shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

23

Section 4.11. Trustee to Give Notice of Default, but May Withhold in Certain Circumstances . The Trustee shall give to the Securityholders of any series, in the case of Registered Securities as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the registry books, notice by mail (or by other means provided in a supplemental indenture hereto, pursuant to a Board Resolution and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate under which such series of Securities is issued or in the form of Security for such series) of all defaults known to the Trustee which have occurred with respect to such series, such notice to be transmitted within 90 days after the occurrence thereof, unless such defaults shall have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term “default” or “defaults” for the purposes of this Section 4.11 being hereby defined to mean any event or condition which is, or with notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default).

Section 4.12. Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs . All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 4.12 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of Securityholders of any series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series or, in the case of any suit relating to or arising under Section 4.01(b) or 4.01(c) (if the suit relates to Securities of more than one but less than all series), 10% in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities affected thereby, or in the case of any suit relating to or arising under Sections 4.01(b), 4.01(c) (if the suit relates to all the Securities then Outstanding), 4.01(d), 4.01(f) or Section 4.01(f), 10% in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security.

Section 4.13. Judgment Currency . The Issuer agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities of any series (the “ Required Currency ”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “ Judgment Currency ”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day following the day on which final non-appealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “ New York Banking Day ” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.

The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

Section 5.04. Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities; Collections, etc . The Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and may otherwise deal with the Issuer and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent.

Section 5.05. Monies Held by Trustee . Subject to the provisions of Section 9.04, all monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust uninvested for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law.

Section 5.06. Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and its Prior Claim .

(a)    The Issuer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as the Issuer and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), and the Issuer covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor trustee upon its request for all expenses, disbursements and advances properly incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except to the extent any such expense, disbursement or advancement may arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(b)    The Issuer also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor trustee and their respective agents, officers and directors for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, claim or expenses arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and the performance of such party’s duties hereunder (including in any agent capacity in which it acts), including properly incurred costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability, and in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, and the properly incurred compensation, expenses and disbursements of the Trustee’s agents and counsel and other persons not regularly within the Trustee’s employ except to the extent such loss, liability, damage, claim or expense is due to the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Trustee or such predecessor trustee.

(c)    The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 5.06 to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor trustee for properly incurred expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim.

(d)    When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 4.01(d) or Section 4.01(f), the expenses (including the properly incurred charges and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

(e)    The provisions of this Section 5.06 and Section 5.02(i) shall survive the termination or discharge of this Indenture, the redemption or maturity of the Securities and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 5.07. Right of Trustee to Rely on Officer’s Certificate, etc . Subject to Sections 5.01 and 5.02, whenever in the administration of the trusts of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 5.08. Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee . The Trustee for each series of Securities hereunder shall at all times be a corporation having a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$50,000,000, and which is eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a U.S. Federal, State or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 5.08, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.

28

Section 5.09. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee . (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series of Securities by giving 60 days’ prior written notice of resignation to the Issuer and by mailing notice thereof by first class mail to Holders of the applicable series of Securities at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Security register or otherwise providing notice to Holders in the manner applicable to the Securities of each such series, or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee as Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing and may appoint a successor trustee with respect thereto with the Issuer’s consent. Upon receiving such notice of resignation or removal from the Trustee, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by duly authorized written instrument in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee or the Issuer and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee has been so appointed with respect to any series of Securities and has accepted such appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may, on behalf of and at the expense of the Issuer, with prior notice to the Issuer, appoint its own successor or the resigning trustee or the Issuer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 4.12, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b)    In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(i)    the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any series of Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months;

(ii)    the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Securityholder; or

(iii)    the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to the applicable series of Securities, or shall be adjudged to be bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;

then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee for such series by duly authorized written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 4.12, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c)    The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of such series and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of such series by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Issuer the evidence provided for in Section 6.01 of the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders.

29

(d)    Any resignation or removal of the Trustee with respect to any series and any appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 5.09 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 5.10.

Section 5.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee . Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 5.09 shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee for such series hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 9.04, pay over to the successor trustee all monies and property at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.06.

If a successor trustee is appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series in respect of which the predecessor trustee serves as trustee, the Issuer, the predecessor trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts under separate indentures.

Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 5.10, the Issuer shall mail notice thereof by first-class mail to the Holders of Securities of any series for which such successor trustee is acting as trustee at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security register or shall otherwise provide notice thereof to Holders in the manner applicable to the Securities of each such series. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 5.09. If the Issuer fails to mail or provide such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed or provided at the expense of the Issuer.

Section 5.11. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee . Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 5.08, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture and any of the Securities of any series shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities of any series shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in

30

the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Securities of any series in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 5.12. Conflicting Interests . The Trustee for the Securities shall be subject to the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of time required thereby. Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded Securities of any particular series of Securities other than that series.

Section 5.13. Appointment of Authenticating Agent . The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or agents with respect to one or more series of Securities, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an authenticating agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than U.S.$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 5.13, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.13, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 5.13.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 5.13, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.13, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security register of the Issuer.

Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 5.13.

31

The Issuer agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time such reasonable compensation, costs and expenses for its services under this Section 5.13, as may be agreed between the Issuer and such Authenticating Agent.

If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 5.13, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or instead of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

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

ARTICLE 6

C ONCERNING THE S ECURITYHOLDERS

Section 6.01. Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders . Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Securityholders of any or all series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such specified percentage of Securityholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 5.01 and 5.02) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Article.

Section 6.02. Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities; Record Date . Subject to Sections 5.01 and 5.02, the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Securities shall be proved by the Security register or by a certificate of the registrar thereof. The Issuer may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Securities of any series entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 6.01, which record date may be set at any time or from time to time by notice to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or reconsideration) not more than 60 days nor less than five days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, only Holders of Securities of such series of record on such record date shall be entitled to so vote or give such consent or revoke such vote or consent.

Section 6.03. Holders to be Treated as Owners . The Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register for such series as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such person, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any such Security.

32

Section 6.04. Securities Owned by Issuer Deemed Not Outstanding . In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any or all series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has been notified in writing are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities held by any depositary or other custodial arrangement established by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be regarded as Outstanding if the beneficial interest therein is not owned by the Issuer or any other obligor on such Securities or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on such Securities. 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 Issuer or any other obligor upon the Securities or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer or any other obligor on the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer’s Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Issuer to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to Sections 5.01 and 5.02, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer’s Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 6.05. Right of Revocation of Action Taken . At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 6.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor or on registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series, as the case may be, specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities affected by such action.

ARTICLE 7

(d)    to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture; or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture or under any supplemental indenture as the Board may deem necessary or desirable and which shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities in any material respect;

(e)    to establish the terms or form of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03; and

(f)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 5.10.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Issuer in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 7.01 may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section  7.02.

Section 7.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Securityholders . With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 6) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (voting as one class), the Issuer, when duly authorized, and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such series; provided that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the final maturity of any Security or of any installment of principal of any such Security, (ii) reduce the principal amount thereof, (iii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, (iv) reduce any amount payable on redemption thereof, (v) make the principal thereof (including any amount in respect of original issue discount), or interest thereon, payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Securities or in accordance with the terms thereof, or change the place of payment thereof, (vi) modify or amend any provisions for converting any currency into any other currency as provided in the Securities or in accordance with the terms of such Securities, (vii) change the Issuer’s obligations to pay Additional Amounts established pursuant to Section 2.03(l) or Section 3.05 (if any), (viii) reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon an acceleration of the maturity of such Security pursuant to Section 4.01 or the amount provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 4.02, or impair or affect the right of any

34

Securityholder to institute suit for the payment thereof or, if the Securities provide therefor, impair or affect any right of repayment at the option of the Securityholder, (ix) modify or amend any provisions relating to the conversion or exchange of the Securities for securities of the Issuer or of other entities or other property (or the cash value thereof), including the determination of the amount of securities or other property (or cash) into which the Securities shall be converted or exchanged, other than as provided in the antidilution provisions or other similar adjustment provisions of the Securities or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Securities or (x) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any particular series, the consent of the Holders of such series being required for any such supplemental indenture, in each case without the consent of the Holders of each Security so affected.

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 Holders of Securities of such series, with respect to such covenant or provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

Upon the request of the Issuer, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders as aforesaid and other documents, if any, required by Section 6.01, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under this Section 7.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02, the Trustee shall give notice thereof by (a) first class mail to the Holders of Securities of each series affected thereby at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books of the Issuer or (b) by any other means set forth in such supplemental indenture, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 7.03. Effect of Supplemental Indenture . Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of Securities of each series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

Section 7.04. Documents to be Given to Trustee . The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 5.01 and 5.02, shall be entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article 7 complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

Section 7.05. Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures . Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article may bear a notation in a form approved by the Trustee for such series as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken by Securityholders. If the Issuer or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then Outstanding.

35

Section 7.06. Conformity with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 . Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article 7 shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.

The Issuer further agrees that service of process upon the Authorized Agent and written notice of said service to it mailed by first class mail or delivered to the Issuer shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit or proceeding.

(a) Unless otherwise established in accordance with Section 2.03, the Securities of any series may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer, in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice of redemption to the Holders of the series to be redeemed (which notice shall be irrevocable and shall conform, as applicable, to the additional notice requirements set forth in Section 11.03) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities together with any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts with respect thereto, if any) to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, if the Issuer is or will be obliged to pay Additional Amounts as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of Japan or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective, or which change in application or interpretation is publicly announced, on or after the date of the pricing of the relevant series of Securities; provided, that no such notice of redemption shall be given sooner than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment then due in respect of the relevant Securities.

(b)    Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Section 11.01, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee (i) a certificate signed by an authorized officer stating that the conditions precedent to its right to so redeem have been fulfilled and (ii) an opinion of independent legal or tax advisors of recognized standing to the effect that the Issuer is or will be obliged to pay such Additional Amounts as a result of such change or amendment.

appear upon the registry books. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice, to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series.

The notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the principal amount and CUSIP number, ISIN number and/or common code (if any) of each Security of such series held by such Holder to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price, the place or places of payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, that any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts with respect thereto, if any) to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. In case any Security of a series is to be redeemed in part only the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

The notice of redemption of Securities of any series to be redeemed at the option of the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and the Trustee, the Issuer shall provide advance notice to the Trustee five Business Days prior to the date of publication of any notice of redemption.

On or before the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 11.03, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more paying agents (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own paying agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.04) an amount of money or other property sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of such series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts with respect thereto, if any) to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption. If less than all the Outstanding Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed.

If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the requirements of the stock exchange on which the Securities are listed (if any) or in accordance with the requirements of the Clearing Organization through which the Securities of such series are held. If the Securities of such series are not listed on any stock exchange or held through the Clearing Organization the Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its sole and absolute discretion, Securities of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any series shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be redeemed.

Section 11.04. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption . If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts with respect thereto, if any) to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts with respect thereto, if any) to (but excluding) said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and, except as provided in Sections Section 5.05 and 9.04, such Securities shall

44

cease from and after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof, together with any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts with respect thereto, if any) to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of Payment specified in said notice, said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Issuer at the applicable redemption price, together with any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts with respect thereto, if any) to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption; provided that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03, any payment of interest becoming due on the date fixed for redemption shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered as such on the relevant record date according to their terms and the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 3.01 hereof.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security) borne by such Security.

Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities of such series, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

Section 11.05. Exclusion of Certain Securities from Eligibility for Selection for Redemption . Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee at least 40 days prior to the last date on which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the Issuer or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer.

Section 11.06. Repurchase of Securities . The Issuer or any subsidiary of the Issuer may at any time purchase any or all of the Securities in the open market or otherwise at any price. Upon such repurchase, the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.10, cancel any Securities so purchased that are surrendered to it. Subject to applicable law, neither the Issuer nor any subsidiary of the Issuer shall have any obligation to offer to purchase any Securities held by any Holder as a result of its purchase or offer to purchase Securities held by any other Holder in the open market or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 11.06 are subject to modification in accordance with Section 2.03.

Section 11.07. Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds . The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the 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 .” The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is herein referred to as the “ Sinking Fund Payment Date .”

In lieu of making all or any part of any Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Issuer may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Issuer or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Issuer and delivered to the paying agent for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10, (b) receive credit for Optional Sinking Fund Payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section 11.07, or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Issuer through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

45

On or before the sixtieth day next preceding each Sinking Fund Payment Date for any series, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee a written statement (which need not contain the statements required by Section 10.05) signed by an authorized officer of the Issuer (a) specifying the portion of the Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion to be satisfied by credit of Securities of such series, (b) stating that none of the Securities of such series has theretofore been so credited, (c) stating that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default with respect to such series have occurred (which have not been waived or cured) and are continuing and (d) stating whether or not the Issuer intends to exercise its right to make an Optional Sinking Fund Payment with respect to such series and, if so, specifying the amount of such Optional Sinking Fund Payment which the Issuer intends to pay on or before the next succeeding Sinking Fund Payment Date. Any Securities of such series to be credited and required to be delivered to the Trustee in order for the Issuer to be entitled to credit therefor as aforesaid which have not theretofore been delivered to the paying agent shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such written statement or at such other time as may be agreed between the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. Such written statement shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by the Trustee the Issuer shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding Sinking Fund Payment Date. Failure of the Issuer, on or before any such sixtieth day, to deliver such written statement and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Issuer (i) that the Mandatory Sinking Fund Payment for such series due on the next succeeding Sinking Fund Payment Date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect thereof and (ii) that the Issuer will make no Optional Sinking Fund Payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section 11.07.

If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in cash on the next succeeding Sinking Fund Payment Date plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Issuer shall so request) with respect to the Securities of any particular series, such cash shall be applied on the next succeeding Sinking Fund Payment Date to the redemption of Securities of such series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $50,000 or less and the Issuer makes no such request then it shall be carried over until a sum in excess of $50,000 is available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 11.03, for redemption on such Sinking Fund Payment Date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such series to absorb said cash, as nearly as may be, and shall (if requested in writing by the Issuer) inform the Issuer of the serial numbers of the Securities of such series (or portions thereof) so selected. Securities of any series which are (a) owned by the Issuer or an entity known by the Trustee to be directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer, as shown by the Security register, and not known to the Trustee to have been pledged or hypothecated by the Issuer or any such entity or (b) identified in an Officer’s Certificate at least 60 days prior to the Sinking Fund Payment Date as being beneficially owned by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, the Issuer or an entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuer shall be excluded from Securities of such series eligible for redemption. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer (or the Issuer, if it shall so request the Trustee in writing) shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series to be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 11.03 (and with the effect provided in Section 11.04) for the redemption of Securities of such series in part at the option of the Issuer. The amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.07. Any and all sinking fund monies held on the stated maturity date of the Securities of any particular series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated), which are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied, together with other monies, if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities of such series at maturity.

46

On or before each Sinking Fund Payment Date, the Issuer shall pay to the paying agent in cash or shall otherwise provide for the payment of all interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on the next following Sinking Fund Payment Date.

The Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a series with sinking fund monies or give any notice of redemption of Securities for such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities, provided that it shall have received from the Issuer a sum sufficient for such redemption. The Issuer shall provide notice to the Trustee at least five Business Days in advance of the date of publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Indenture. Except as aforesaid, any monies in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur, and any monies thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article 4 and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 4.10 or the default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the Sinking Fund Payment Date in any year, such monies shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding Sinking Fund Payment Date in accordance with this Section 11.07 to the redemption of such Securities.
