All things necessary to make this Tenth Supplemental Indenture a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company have been done.

Now, Therefore, This Tenth Supplemental Indenture Witnesseth:

For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Debentures by the Holders thereof, it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Debentures, as follows:

ARTICLE ONE

Terms of the Debentures

Section 101. There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated the “6.05% Debentures due 2016”. The Debentures shall mature and the principal shall be due and payable together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on June 15, 2016 and shall be issued in the form of a registered Global Security without coupons, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, as the Depositary (the “Depositary”).

The initial issue of Debentures shall be limited in aggregate principal amount to $325,000,000 (except as provided in Section 301(2) of the Indenture); however, the Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of the Debentures then outstanding, issue additional Debentures without limitation as to the aggregate principal amount thereof and having the same terms as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the outstanding Debentures in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such additional Debentures or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such additional Debentures). Any additional Debentures having such

similar terms, together with the outstanding Debentures, will constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture.

Section 102. The provisions of Section 305 of the Indenture applicable to Global Securities shall apply to the Debentures. The Company hereby designates The Depository Trust Company to act as the Depositary for the Global Securities representing the Debentures. In lieu of clause (2) under Section 305, the following provision shall apply to the Debentures:

Notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Debentures registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor Depositary is not appointed within 90 days; (B) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Debentures; or (C) the Company in its sole discretion determines not to have any of the Debentures represented by a Global Security.

Section 103. Interest on each of the Debentures shall be payable semiannually on June 15 and December 15 in each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on December 15, 2006, at the rate per annum specified in the designation of Debentures from June 9, 2006, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name such Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. As used herein, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed.

Section 104. Subject to agreements with or the rules of the Depositary or any successor book-entry security system or similar system with respect to Global Securities, payments of interest will be made by check mailed to the Holder of each Debenture at the address shown in the Security Register, and payments of the principal amount of each Debenture will be made at maturity by check against presentation of the Debenture at the office or agency of the Trustee.

Section 105. The Debentures shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000.

Section 106. Principal and interest on the Debentures shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America, which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for public and private debts.

Section 107. The Debentures shall be subject to defeasance and covenant defeasance, at the Company’s option, as provided for in Sections 1302 and 1303 of the Indenture.

Section 108. Subject to the terms of Article Eleven of the Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Debentures, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, as provided in the form of the Debenture herein below set forth.

(FORM OF REVERSE OF DEBENTURE)

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 15, 1996 (as supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (successor Trustee to Fifth Third Bank), as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, which series is issuable without limitation as to the aggregate principal amount thereof.

The Company has the right to redeem the Securities, in whole or from time to time in part, until maturity (such redemption, a “Make-Whole Redemption,” and the date thereof, the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date, and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), if any, with respect to the Securities being redeemed.

“Make-Whole Amount” means the excess, if any, of (i) the sum, as determined by a Quotation Agent, of the present value of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, together with scheduled payments of interest thereon from the Redemption Date to June 15, 2016 (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date), in each case discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate over (ii) 100% of the principal amount on the Redemption Date of the Securities to be redeemed.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for a Make-Whole Redemption, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date, calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, plus in each case 0.20% (20 basis points).

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term from the Redemption Date to the Stated Maturity of the Securities that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Securities.

“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company. “Reference Treasury Dealer” means a primary U.S. Government securities dealer.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date for a Make-Whole Redemption, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date, as set forth in the daily statistical release designated “H.15” (or any successor release) published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such Business Day, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of such Quotations.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date for a Make-Whole Redemption, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date.

Notice of any redemption by the Company will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before any Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed at the option of the Company, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, the Securities to be redeemed.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after any Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption.

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

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

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 35% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonably satisfactory indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the

Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

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