year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Yield plus fifty (50) basis
points, in each case plus unpaid interest that has accrued to, but excluding, such Redemption Date;

customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of
comparable maturity to the remaining term of this Security.
Comparable Treasury Price of a Comparable Treasury Issue means, with respect

Morgan Securities Inc. (or their respective successors) and three (3) other primary U.S.

such Redemption Date.
7. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated
Maturity or Maturity of this Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or of this Security), payment of principal or
interest need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on such
date; provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.
8. UNCLAIMED MONEY. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, if money for the payment of
principal or interest remains unclaimed for two (2) years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay
the money back to the Company at its request, and thereafter Holders entitled to the money shall,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability
of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.
9. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or this Security may
be amended or supplemented with the consent of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of

principal amount of all Outstanding securities of the same series as this Security, by written
notice to the Company (and, if given by the Holders, to the Trustee), may declare the principal of
and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding
securities of the same series as this Security to be due and payable, and upon any such
declaration, such principal and interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to this Security has been
made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee
as provided in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all
Outstanding securities of the same series as this Security, by written notice to the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences as provided, and subject to satisfaction of
the conditions set forth, in the Indenture.
