(1) an Investment by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer in any other Person if, as a result of such Investment, such Person shall become a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, or shall be merged or consolidated with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, or

(b) Consolidated Amortization Expense (but only to the extent not included in Consolidated Interest Expense),

(d) Consolidated Interest Expense (including debt issuance costs and other financing fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions) and all other costs and expenses arising from or related to the issuance of the Notes and the reasonable costs and expenses arising from or related to the incurrence of the Credit Facilities to the extent such other costs and expenses were deducted in computing Consolidated Net Income, and

(3) the aggregate amount of all non-cash items, determined on a consolidated basis, to the extent such items increased Consolidated Net Income for such period.

For purposes of this definition, Consolidated Cash Flow and Consolidated Interest Expense shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis for the period of such calculation to:

(1) the incurrence of any Indebtedness or the issuance of any Preferred Stock of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (and the application of the proceeds thereof) and any repayment of other Indebtedness or redemption of other Preferred Stock (and the application of the proceeds therefrom) (other than the incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness in the ordinary course of business for working capital purposes pursuant to any revolving credit arrangement) occurring during the Four-Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four-Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such incurrence, repayment, issuance or redemption, as the case may be (and the application of the proceeds thereof), occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period; and

(2) any Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition (including, without limitation, any Asset Acquisition giving rise to the need to make such calculation as a result of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (including any Person who becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Acquisition incurring Acquired Indebtedness and giving effect to any Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition made by any Person who becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition) and also including any Consolidated Cash Flow (including any pro forma expense and cost reductions calculated on a basis consistent with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act) associated with any such Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition) occurring during the Four-Quarter Period or at any time subsequent to the last day of the Four-Quarter Period and on or prior to the Transaction Date, as if such Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition (including the incurrence of, or assumption or liability for, any such Indebtedness or Acquired Indebtedness) occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period.

In calculating Consolidated Interest Expense for purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio:

(1) interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be

deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in effect on the Transaction Date;

(2) if interest on any Indebtedness actually incurred on the Transaction Date may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rates, then the interest rate in effect on the Transaction Date will be deemed to have been in effect during the Four-Quarter Period; and

(3) notwithstanding clause (1) or (2) above, interest on Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is covered by agreements relating to Hedging Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of these agreements.

“Consolidated Interest Expense” for any period means the sum, without duplication, of the total interest expense of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries for such period, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and including, without duplication,

(1) imputed interest on Capitalized Lease Obligations and Attributable Indebtedness,

(2) commissions, discounts and other fees and charges owed with respect to letters of credit securing financial obligations, bankers’ acceptance financing and receivables financings,

(3) the net costs associated with Hedging Obligations related to interest rates,

(4) amortization of debt issuance costs, debt discount or premium and other financing fees and expenses (other than debt issuance costs and other financing fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions),

(5) the interest portion of any deferred payment obligations,

(6) all other non-cash interest expense,

(7) capitalized interest,

THE NOTES

The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or Depository rule or usage. The form of the Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement on them shall be satisfactory to both the Issuer and the Trustee. Each Note shall be dated the date of its issuance and shall show the date of its authentication.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes, annexed hereto as Exhibit A, shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Supplemental Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Issuer and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Notes (the “Global Notes”) in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, and shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of any Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by one Officer of the Issuer. Such signature may be either manual or facsimile.

If the Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. Such signature shall be manual. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Supplemental Indenture.

The Trustee or an authentication agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) shall authenticate (i) Initial Notes for original issue on the date of this Supplemental Indenture in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $225,000,000, and (ii) Additional Notes for original issue following the date of this Supplemental Indenture in unlimited aggregate principal amount (so long as permitted by the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof) for original issue upon a written order of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in aggregate principal amount as specified in such order. The Officer’s Certificate shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated and the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding on the date of authentication, and shall further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as a Global Note or Certificated Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed such amount except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Notes issued under this Supplemental Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote or consent) as one class and no series of Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent to authenticate Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Issuer. An Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Supplemental Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same right as an Agent to deal with the Issuer and Affiliates of the Issuer.

The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Registrar shall provide the Issuer a current copy of such register from time to time upon request of the Issuer. The Issuer may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. Neither the Issuer nor any Affiliate of the Issuer may act as Paying Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to any Holder.

The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Supplemental Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or agent for service of notices and demands, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes.

Section 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Assets in Trust. The Issuer shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes), and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default in making any such payment. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to forthwith distribute to the Trustee all assets so held in trust by such Paying Agent together with a complete accounting of such sums. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all assets that shall have been delivered by the Issuer to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets.

Section 2.05. Noteholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee on or before each April 1 and October 1 in each year, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders which list may be conclusively relied on by the Trustee.

Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16 hereof, when Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations of the same series, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge in connection therewith payable by the transferor of such Notes (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges or transfers pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.06, 4.12, 4.15 or 9.06 hereof, in which event the Issuer shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes).

Without the prior consent of the Issuer, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of 15 days before the delivery of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery, (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3 hereof, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (iii) between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Notes may be effected only through a book entry

system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder presents evidence to the satisfaction of the Issuer and the Trustee that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note. An indemnity or a security bond may be required by the Issuer or the Trustee that is sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. In every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or the theft of such Note and the ownership thereof. Each of the Issuer and the Trustee may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note. In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof. The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer.

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding until the Issuer and the Trustee receive proof satisfactory to each of them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof.

If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds U.S. legal tender sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest due on the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Section 2.09. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Notes owned by the Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so considered. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee, in writing, when it or any of its Affiliates repurchases or otherwise acquires Notes, of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes so repurchased or otherwise acquired.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon receipt of a written order

of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate. The Officer’s Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Notes are to be authenticated. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a written order of the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.02 hereof definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Issuer, dispose of and deliver evidence of such disposal of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with their then existing procedures therefor. Subject to Section 2.07 hereof, the Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuer shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11. In no event shall the Trustee be required to destroy cancelled Notes.

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium and interest on overdue interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law), to the extent lawful on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect on the Notes.

If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Issuer for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Issuer shall deliver to each Holder, as of a recent date selected by the Issuer, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.01(a) hereof shall be paid to Holders as of the Record Date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid.

Section 2.13. Deposit of Moneys. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, Net Proceeds Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. legal tender sufficient to make payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, Net Proceeds Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Trustee to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date,

Change of Control Payment Date, Net Proceeds Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes represented thereby. The principal and interest on Notes in certificated form shall be payable at the office of the Paying Agent.

Section 2.14. CUSIP Number. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or such other numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP, ISIN or such other numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN or such other numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or such other number.

Section 2.15. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

(a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.17 hereof.

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or under the Global Notes, and the Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder.

(b) Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Certificated Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.16 hereof. In addition, if (i) the Depository (x) notifies the Issuer that it is no longer willing or able to act as Depository for any Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing company registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a qualified successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or (ii) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Certified Notes, then, upon surrender by the relevant Holder of its Global Note, Certified Notes will be issued to each such Holder identified as being the beneficial owner.

(c) In connection with the transfer of Global Notes as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Notes shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an authentication order from the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate, authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Notes, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

(d) The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes.

Section 2.16. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. When Certificated Notes are presented to the Registrar or co-Registrar with a request:

(i) to register the transfer of the Certificated Notes; or

(ii) to exchange such Certificated Notes for an equal principal amount of Certificated Notes of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements under this Supplemental Indenture as set forth in this Section 2.16 for such transactions are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Certificated Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Global Note. A Certificated Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Registrar or co-Registrar of a Certificated Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar or co-Registrar, together with written instructions from the Holder thereof directing the Registrar or co-Registrar to make, or to direct the Depository to make, an endorsement on the applicable Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, then the Registrar or co-Registrar shall cancel such Certificated Note and cause, or direct the Depository to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Registrar or co-Registrar, the principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased accordingly.

(i) Any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Note may upon request exchange such beneficial interest for a Certificated Note. Upon receipt by the Registrar or co-Registrar of written instructions, or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depository, from the Depository or its nominee on behalf of any Person having a beneficial interest in a Global Note and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written order or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depository or the Person designated by the Depository as having such a beneficial interest containing registration instructions, then the Registrar or co-Registrar will cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Registrar or co-Registrar, the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note to be reduced and, following such reduction, the Issuer will execute and, upon receipt of an authentication order in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in accordance with

Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the transferee a Certificated Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(ii) Certificated Notes issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Note pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Registrar or co-Registrar in writing. The Registrar or co-Registrar shall deliver such Certificated Notes to the Persons in whose names such Certificated Notes are so registered.

(d) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

(e) General. None of the Issuer, the Trustee, any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee (including any Paying Agent or Registrar) will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.15 hereof or this Section 2.16. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

Section 2.17. Legends. Each Global Note shall bear the following legend:

THIS NOTE IS A GLOBAL NOTE WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE OF A DEPOSITORY OR A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITORY. THIS NOTE IS NOT EXCHANGEABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR NOTES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A PERSON OTHER THAN THE DEPOSITORY OR ITS NOMINEE EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE (OTHER THAN A TRANSFER OF THIS NOTE AS A WHOLE BY THE DEPOSITORY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY TO THE DEPOSITORY OR ANOTHER NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY) MAY BE REGISTERED EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, AND TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS IN THIS GLOBAL NOTE SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2.16 OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE.

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date or such other period as the Trustee may agree to, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the Redemption Price, and deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained herein and in the Notes, as appropriate.

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed. In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of the Notes to be redeemed shall be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed or, if such Notes are not then listed on a national security exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part; provided, further, that if a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of any Qualified Equity Offering, selection of the Notes or portions thereof for redemption shall be made by the Trustee only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the procedures of the Depository), unless such method is otherwise prohibited. A new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon delivery of the original Note to the Paying Agent and cancellation of the original Note. On and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Issuer has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in U.S. legal tender in satisfaction of the applicable Redemption Price pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture.

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be delivered at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a satisfaction and discharge of this Supplemental Indenture. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed (including the CUSIP, ISIN or other number(s) thereof) and shall state:

(a) the Redemption Date;

(b) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to be paid;

(c) that, if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount (equal to $2,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Note to be redeemed and that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such

Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued;

(d) the name, address and telephone number of the Paying Agent;

(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent at the address specified to collect the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any;

(f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date upon surrender of the Notes to the Paying Agent;

(g) the subparagraph of the Notes pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; and

(h) if fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes (or portion thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once the notice of redemption described in Section 3.03 hereof is delivered, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price, including any premium, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date, if any. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price, including any premium, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date, if any; provided that if the Redemption Date is after a Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest shall be payable to the Holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant Record Date.

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

(a) On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. legal tender sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date.

(b) On and after any Redemption Date, if U.S. legal tender sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on Notes called for redemption shall have been made available in accordance with clause (a), the Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue interest and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price of and, subject to the first proviso in Section 3.04 hereof, accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to the Redemption Date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid, interest will continue to accrue and be paid, from the Redemption Date until such redemption payment is made, on the unpaid principal of the Note and any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case, at the rate and in the manner provided for in Section 2.12 hereof.

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for a Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

Section 4.03. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead (as a defense or otherwise) or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Issuer from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, and/or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Supplemental Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Issuer hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Subject to Article 5 hereof, the Issuer shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or limited liability company or other existence of each Subsidiary, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of each Subsidiary (other than changes in structure from a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other current structure into a corporation, partnership or limited liability company) and (ii) the material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries except where the failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect any such rights, licenses and franchise shall not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, operations or prospects of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and provided that the Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Issuer shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the rights of the Holders under this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes.

Section 4.07. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the

(vi) Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, payment obligations in connection with health or other types of social security benefits, unemployment or other insurance or self-insurance obligations, reclamations, statutory obligations, bankers’ acceptances and bid, performance, surety or similar bonds issued for the account of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business, including guarantees or obligations of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to letters of credit supporting such bid, performance, surety or similar obligations (in each case other than for an obligation for money borrowed) in the ordinary course of business;

(vii) Purchase Money Indebtedness and Capitalized Lease Obligations incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, and guarantees thereof by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and Refinancing Indebtedness thereof, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the greater of (x) $25.0 million and (y) 2.0% of Consolidated Total Assets;

(viii) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently (except in the case of daylight

overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that in all cases such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of incurrence;

(ix) Indebtedness arising in connection with endorsement of instruments for deposit in the ordinary course of business;

(x) Refinancing Indebtedness with respect to Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception or clause (ii) or (iii) above or this clause (x);

(xii) the incurrence by a Receivables Subsidiary of Indebtedness in a Qualified Receivables Transaction that is without recourse to the Issuer or to any other Subsidiary of the Issuer or their assets (other than such Receivables Subsidiary and its assets and, as to the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Issuer, other than pursuant to representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for such transactions) and is not guaranteed by any such Person;

(xiii) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75.0 million at any time outstanding; and

(xiv) the guarantee by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 4.10; provided, that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Notes, then such guarantees shall be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.10, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xiv) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception, the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness and may divide and classify such Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described, except that Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Facilities on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred under clause (i) above, and may later reclassify any item of Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xiv) above (provided that at the time of reclassification it meets the criteria in such category or categories). The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of Preferred Stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Equity Interests in the form of additional shares of the same class of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Equity Interests will not be deemed to be an incurrence of

Indebtedness or an issuance of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Equity Interests for purposes of this Section 4.10. In addition, for purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this Section 4.10, guarantees, Liens or letter of credit obligations supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included so long as incurred by a Person that could have incurred such Indebtedness.

Section 4.11. Limitations on Restricted Payments.

(i) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof;

(ii) the Issuer cannot incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or

(iii) the amount of such Restricted Payment, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made after the Issue Date (other than Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi) and (xii) of Section 4.11(b) hereof), exceeds the sum (the “Restricted Payments Basket”) of (without duplication):

(C) the aggregate amount by which Indebtedness incurred by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date is reduced on the Issuer’s balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Issuer) into Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) (less the amount of any cash, or the fair value of assets, distributed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange), plus

(D) in the case of the disposition or repayment of or return on any Investment that was treated as a Restricted Payment made after the Issue Date, an amount (to the extent not included in the computation of Consolidated Net Income) equal to the aggregate

amount received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in cash or other property (valued at the Fair Market Value thereof) as the return of capital with respect to such Investment, plus

(E) upon a Redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or the merger or consolidation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary with or into the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Issuer’s proportionate interest in such Subsidiary immediately following such Redesignation, consolidation or merger, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Issuer’s Investments in such Subsidiary to the extent such Investments reduced the Restricted Payments Basket and were not previously repaid or otherwise reduced, plus

(F) 50% of any cash dividends received by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, to the extent that such dividends were not otherwise included in Consolidated Net Income.

(iii) other than pursuant to clause (viii) below, the redemption of Equity Interests of the Issuer held by officers, directors or employees or former officers, directors or employees (or their transferees, estates or beneficiaries under their estates), upon their death, disability, retirement, severance or termination of employment or service; provided that the aggregate cash consideration paid for all such redemptions shall not exceed (A) $5.0 million during any calendar year (with unused amounts being available to be used in the following calendar year, but not in any succeeding calendar year) plus (B) the amount of any net cash proceeds received by or contributed to the Issuer from the issuance and sale after the Issue Date of Qualified Equity Interests of the Issuer to its officers, directors or employees that have not been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (iii), plus (C) the net cash proceeds of any “key-man” life insurance policies that have not been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments pursuant to this clause (iii);

(iv) repurchases of Equity Interests that occur or are deemed to occur (A) upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or similar rights to the extent such Equity Interests represents a portion of the exercise price thereof, (B) as a result of Equity Interest being utilized to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon exercise of stock options or vesting of other equity awards and (C) upon the cancellation or forfeiture of stock options, warrants or other equity awards;

(ix) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would arise as a result thereof, the payment by the Issuer of any dividend to the holders of any class or series of its Equity Interests on a pro rata basis among the holders of such class or series of Equity Interests in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25.0 million in any twelve-month period;

(x) the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Equity Interests issued on or after the Issue Date in compliance with Section 4.10 hereof;

provided that no proceeds from the issuance and sale of Qualified Equity Interests used to make a payment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii)(B) above shall increase the Restricted Payments Basket.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.11, in the event that a payment or other action meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions described in clauses (i) through (xii) above, or is entitled to be made pursuant to Section 4.11(a) hereof (including any payment or other action that constitutes a “Permitted Investment”), the Issuer will be permitted to classify such payment or other action on the date of its occurrence in any manner that complies with this Section 4.11 (including any payment or other action that constitutes a “Permitted Investment”). Payments or other actions permitted by this Section 4.11 need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision permitting such payment or other action (including any payment or other action that constitutes a “Permitted Investment”), but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 4.11 permitting payment or other action (including any payment or other action that constitutes a “Permitted Investment”).

Section 4.12. Limitations on Asset Sales.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless at least 75% of the total consideration in such Asset Sale consists of cash or Cash Equivalents.

For purposes of the preceding clause (a), the following shall be deemed to be cash:

(i) the amount (without duplication) of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary (A) that is assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and with respect to which the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness or (B) in respect of which neither the Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any obligation following such Asset Sale,

(ii) the amount of any obligations or Publicly Traded Securities received from such transferee that are within 180 days converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary to cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received),

(iii) the Fair Market Value of (A) any assets (other than securities) received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to be used by it in a Permitted Business, (B) Equity Interests in a Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a Person engaged in a Permitted Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the acquisition of such Person by the Issuer or (C) a combination of (A) and (B), and

(iv) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received since the Issue Date pursuant to this clause (iv) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $20.0 million and (y) 1.0% of Consolidated Total Assets as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available, in each case at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

(b) If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is repaid or converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.12.

(c) If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 365 days following the consummation thereof, apply all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom to:

(i) satisfy all mandatory repayment obligations under any Credit Facility arising by reason of such Asset Sale;

(ii) repay any Indebtedness which was secured by the assets sold in such Asset Sale;

(iii) in the case of any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary, repay any liability of one or more Foreign Subsidiaries;

(iv) (A) invest all or any part of the Net Available Proceeds thereof in the purchase of assets (other than securities) to be used by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary

in the Permitted Business, (B) acquire Qualified Equity Interests in a Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary or in a Person engaged in a Permitted Business that shall become a Restricted Subsidiary immediately upon the consummation of such acquisition or (C) a combination of (A) and (B); and/or

(v) make a Net Proceeds Offer (and redeem Pari Passu Indebtedness) in accordance with the procedures described below and in this Supplemental Indenture.

The amount of Net Available Proceeds not applied or invested as provided in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 4.12(c) will constitute “Excess Proceeds.”

(d) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $20.0 million, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to purchase from all Holders and, if applicable, redeem (or make an offer to do so) any Pari Passu Indebtedness of the Issuer the provisions of which require the Issuer to redeem such Indebtedness with the proceeds from any Asset Sales (or offer to do so), in an aggregate principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness equal to the amount of such Excess Proceeds as follows:

(i) the Issuer shall (a) make an offer to purchase (a “Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Holders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Supplemental Indenture, and (b) redeem (or make an offer to do so) any such other Pari Passu Indebtedness, pro rata in proportion to the respective principal amounts of the Notes and such other Indebtedness required to be redeemed, the maximum principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be redeemed out of the amount (the “Payment Amount”) of such Excess Proceeds;

(ii) the offer price for the Notes will be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date such Net Proceeds Offer is consummated (the “Offered Price”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Supplemental Indenture and the redemption price for such Pari Passu Indebtedness (the “Pari Passu Indebtedness Price”) shall be as set forth in the related documentation governing such Indebtedness;

(iii) if the aggregate Offered Price of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by Holders thereof exceeds the pro rata portion of the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes, Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis; and

(iv) upon completion of such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the amount of Excess Proceeds with respect to which such Net Proceeds Offer was made shall be deemed to be zero.

(e) To the extent that the sum of the aggregate Offered Price of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer and the aggregate Pari Passu Indebtedness Price paid to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness is less than the Payment Amount relating thereto (such shortfall constituting a “Net Proceeds Deficiency”), the Issuer may use the Net Proceeds Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for any purposes not prohibited by this Supplemental Indenture.

(f) Upon the commencement of a Net Proceeds Offer, the Issuer shall deliver a notice to the Trustee and to each Holder. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holder to tender Notes pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer. Any Net Proceeds Offer shall be made to all Holders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Net Proceeds Offer, shall state:

(i) that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.12;

(ii) the Payment Amount, the Offered Price, and the date on which Notes tendered and accepted for payment shall be purchased, which date shall be at least 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Net Proceeds Payment Date”);

(iii) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest;

(iv) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such payment, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest on and after the Net Proceeds Payment Date;

(v) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to any Net Proceeds Offer shall be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Net Proceeds Payment Date;

(vi) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the Net Proceeds Payment Date, a notice setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(vii) that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased);

(viii) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry);

(ix) any other procedures that a Holder must follow to accept a Net Proceeds Offer or effect withdrawal of such acceptance; and

(x) the name, address and telephone number of the Paying Agent.

(g) On the Net Proceeds Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, subject to proration if the aggregate Notes tendered exceed the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes; (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of U.S. legal tender equal to the lesser of the Payment Amount allocable to the Notes and the amount sufficient to pay the Offered Price in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so accepted; and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions thereof being repurchased by the Issuer.

(h) The Issuer shall publicly announce the results of the Net Proceeds Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Net Proceeds Payment Date.

(i) The Paying Agent shall promptly as practicable deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Offered Price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly as practicable authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. However, if the Net Proceeds Payment Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer.

(j) The Issuer will comply with applicable tender offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.12, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of this Section 4.12 by virtue of this compliance.

Section 4.13. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis by the Issuer or that Restricted Subsidiary from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer or that Restricted Subsidiary; and

(ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee:

(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value in excess of $10.0 million, an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate

Transaction complies with clause (i) above and a Secretary’s Certificate which sets forth and authenticates a resolution that has been adopted by the Independent Directors approving such Affiliate Transaction; and

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate value of $40.0 million or more, the certificates described in the preceding clause (A) and a written opinion as to the fairness of such Affiliate Transaction to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view issued by an Independent Financial Advisor to the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

(b) The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to:

(i) transactions exclusively between or among (a) the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, in each case, that no Affiliate of the Issuer (other than another Restricted Subsidiary) owns Equity Interests of any such Restricted Subsidiary unless otherwise required by applicable law;

(ii) director, officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including insurance policies, retirement, health, equity compensation and other benefit plans) and indemnification arrangements;

(iii) the entering into of a tax sharing agreement, or payments pursuant thereto, between the Issuer and/or one or more Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any other Person with which the Issuer or such Subsidiaries are required or permitted to file a consolidated tax return or with which the Issuer or such Subsidiaries are part of a consolidated group for tax purposes to be used by such Person to pay taxes, and which payments by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not in excess of the tax liabilities that would have been payable by them on a stand-alone basis;

(vii) (a) any agreement or transaction in effect on the Issue Date and disclosed in the Prospectus Supplement (through incorporation by reference or otherwise), as in effect on the Issue Date or as thereafter amended or replaced in any manner, that, taken as a whole, is not more disadvantageous to the Holders or the Issuer in any material respect than such agreement as it was in effect on the Issue Date or (b) any transaction pursuant to any agreement referred to in the immediately preceding clause (a);

(viii) transactions between or among the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary participating in a Qualified Receivables Transaction, on the one hand, and/or any Receivables Subsidiary, on the other hand, or transactions between a Receivables Subsidiary and any Person in which the Receivables Subsidiary has an Investment;

(ix) any transaction with a joint venture or similar entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an Equity Interest in or otherwise controls such joint venture or similar entity; provided that, no Affiliate of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary shall have a beneficial interest in such joint venture or similar entity; and

(x) (a) any transaction with an Affiliate where the only consideration paid by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary is Qualified Equity Interests or (b) the issuance or sale of any Qualified Equity Interests.

Section 4.14. Limitation on Liens. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) of any nature whatsoever against any assets of the Issuer or any Guarantor (including Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, which Lien secures Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously therewith:

in each case, for so long as such obligation is secured by such Lien.

Section 4.15. Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Issuer purchase all or any portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer described below for a cash price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the date of purchase.

(e) The Paying Agent shall as promptly as practicable deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Purchase Price for such Notes, and the Trustee shall as promptly as practicable authenticate and deliver to each Holder a new Note in principal

amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided however, that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

If, after the Issue Date, (x) any Restricted Subsidiary (including any newly formed, newly acquired or newly Redesignated Restricted Subsidiary, but excluding any Immaterial Subsidiary, Foreign Subsidiary or Receivables Subsidiary) either (i) guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities (provided that such Restricted Subsidiary is also guaranteeing Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement)) or guarantees any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness under the Credit Facilities (provided that such Restricted Subsidiary is also guaranteeing Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement) or Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (xi) or (xiii) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness) of any other Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) incurs any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness or (y) the Issuer otherwise elects to have any Restricted Subsidiary become a Guarantor, then, in each such case, the Issuer shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to:

(g) one or more judgments or orders that exceed $20.0 million in the aggregate (net of amounts covered by insurance or bonded) for the payment of money have been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary and such judgment or judgments have not been satisfied, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 60 days of being entered;

(h) the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof with respect to the Issuer) shall have occurred and be continuing under this Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee, by written notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare all amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the aggregate principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Notes shall become due and payable; provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration:

(a) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(b) if all Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived;

(c) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(d) the Issuer has paid all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances and those of its agents and counsel; and

(e) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof, the Trustee shall have received an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs with respect to the Issuer and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any notice, declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Supplemental Indenture and may take any necessary action requested of it as Trustee to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a party.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default.

Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 8.02 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have the right to waive past Defaults under this Supplemental Indenture except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Note as specified in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 6.01 hereof. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively.

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

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Supplemental Indenture. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Supplemental Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder not taking part in such direction, and the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Trust Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed may involve it in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

(a) Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Supplemental Indenture or any remedy thereunder, unless the Trustee:

(i) has failed to act for a period of 60 days after receiving written notice of a continuing Event of Default by such Holder and a request to act by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding;

(ii) has been offered indemnity satisfactory to it in its reasonable judgment; and

(iii) has not received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request.

(b) However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on such Note on or after the due date therefor (after giving effect to the grace period specified in Section 6.01(a) hereof).

(c) The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with this Supplemental Indenture and, upon any Officer of the Issuer becoming aware of any Default, a statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or accrued interest on, any Note held by such Holder on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement

of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of unpaid principal, premium and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue principal and interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate set forth in Section 4.01 hereof, and such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceedings.

Section 6.10. Priorities.

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article and any other money or property distributable in respect of the Issuer’s obligations under this Supplemental Indenture after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

SECOND: if the Holders are forced to proceed against the Issuer or any Guarantor directly without the Trustee, to Holders for their collection costs;

THIRD: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest as to each, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes; and

FOURTH: to the Issuer or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amounts from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Issuer, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Supplemental Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may make loans to, accept deposits from, perform services for or otherwise deal with the Issuer, or any Affiliates thereof, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, shall be subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the sale of Notes or any money paid to the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has received written notice of such Default at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder notice of the Default within 30 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note or a default in the observance or performance of any of the obligations of the Issuer under Article 5, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

If required by TIA Section 313(a), within 60 days after November 15 of any year, commencing the November 15 following the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder a brief report dated as of such November 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b), (c) and (d).

Reports pursuant to this Section 7.06 shall be transmitted by mail:

(a) to all registered Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Registrar’s books; and

(b) to such Holders as have, within the two years preceding such transmission, filed their names and addresses with the Trustee for that purpose.

A copy of each report at the time of its delivery to Holders shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or of any delisting thereof.

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Issuer and the Trustee for the Trustee’s services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable fees and expenses, including out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with the performance of its duties under this Supplemental Indenture or in connection with the collection of any funds. Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Issuer shall indemnify each of the Trustee and its agents, employees, shareholders and directors and officers for, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred by them (including attorney’s fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with the administration of this trust including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their rights, powers or duties hereunder, except for such actions to the extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on their part. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly, in writing, of any claim asserted against the Trustee for which it may seek indemnity. At the Trustee’s sole discretion, the Issuer shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate and may participate in the defense; provided that any settlement of a claim shall be approved in writing by the Trustee. The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all assets or money held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except assets or money held in trust to pay principal of, premium or interest on particular Notes.

In addition and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any provision of this Supplemental Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The obligation of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination or satisfaction and discharge of this Supplemental Indenture.

“Trustee” for purposes of this Section shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and to each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer may remove the Trustee at its election if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

(d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer, after payment of all sums then owing to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof, all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07 hereof, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Supplemental Indenture. A successor Trustee shall deliver notice of its succession to each Holder.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Issuer, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of securities for any period of time specified under TIA Section 3.10, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Consolidation, Merger or Conversion.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, subject to this Article 7, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

This Supplemental Indenture shall always have a Trustee which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Sections 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus, together with its corporate parent, of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of TIA Section 310(b), the Trustee and the Issuer shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.10, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinbefore specified in this Article 7.

Section 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuer.

The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. The provisions of TIA Section 311 shall apply to the Issuer as obligors of the Notes.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.01. Without Consent of Holders.

The Issuer and the Guarantors, if any (except that no existing Guarantor need execute a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto pursuant to clause (g) of this Section 8.01), when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees without notice to or consent of any Holder:

(j) to secure the Notes or any Note Guarantees or any other obligation under this Supplemental Indenture; or

(k) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee.

Section 8.02. With Consent of Holders.

(a) Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, the Issuer and the Guarantors, if any, when each is authorized by a Board Resolution of their respective Boards of Directors, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees with the written consent (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive compliance by the Issuer, or any Guarantor with any provision of this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes, or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof, may not:

(i) reduce, or change the maturity of, the principal of any Note (it being understood that any amendment or waiver of Section 4.12 hereof requiring the application of Net Available Proceeds to make a Net Proceeds Offer shall not constitute a change of the maturity of the principal of any Note under this clause (i));

(ii) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(iii) reduce any premium payable upon redemption of the Notes or change the date on which any Notes are subject to redemption (other than provisions relating to the purchase of Notes described under Sections 4.12 and 4.15 hereof, except that if a Change of Control has occurred, no amendment or other modification of the obligation of the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer relating to such Change of Control shall be made without the consent of each Holder of the Notes affected);

(iv) make any Note payable in money or currency other than that stated in the Notes;

(v) modify or change any provision of this Supplemental Indenture or the related definitions to affect the ranking of the Notes or any Note Guarantee in a manner that adversely affects the Holders;

(vi) reduce the percentage of Holders necessary to consent to an amendment or waiver to this Supplemental Indenture or the Notes;

(vii) waive a default in the payment of principal of or premium or interest on any Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders thereof as provided in this Supplemental Indenture and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(viii) impair the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or interest on the Notes on or after the due date therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on the Notes;

(ix) release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Supplemental Indenture, except as permitted by this Supplemental Indenture; or

(x) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions.

The consent of the Holders of the Notes is not necessary under this Supplemental Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or waiver.

After an amendment under this Supplemental Indenture becomes effective, the Issuer is required to deliver to Holders of the Notes a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders of the Notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

Section 8.03. Compliance with TIA.

Every amendment to or supplement of this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 8.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. Subject to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holder’s Note or portion of such Note by notice to the Trustee or the Issuer received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (i) through (x) of Section 8.02 hereof, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

Section 8.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may request the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Issuer or the Trustee so determine, in exchange for the Note the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment supplement or waiver.

Section 8.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 8 is authorized or permitted by this Supplemental Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Guarantors, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such

amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Supplemental Indenture or otherwise.

ARTICLE IX

Section 9.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

(a) This Supplemental Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except those obligations referred to in Section 9.01(c) hereof) as to all outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees and the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Supplemental Indenture, when:

(i) all the Notes that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from this trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or

(ii) (A) all Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation otherwise (x) have become due and payable, (y) will become due and payable, or may be called for redemption, within one year or (z) have been called for redemption pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes and, in any case, the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds, in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest) to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness (including all principal and accrued interest) on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, (B) the Issuer has paid all other sums payable by it under this Supplemental Indenture, and (C) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the date of redemption, as the case may be.

(b) In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been complied with.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 9.01(a) hereof, the Issuer’s obligations in Article 2 and Sections 4.01, 4.07, 7.07, 9.06 and 9.07 hereof shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.08 hereof. After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Issuer’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 9.06 and 9.07 hereof shall survive.

(d) After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under the Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Supplemental Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.

(e) The Issuer shall provide notice of discharge or defeasance pursuant to this Article 9 within ten (10) days after deposit of funds or U.S. Government Obligations. If payment at stated maturity of less than all of the Notes of any series is to be provided for in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section 9.01, the Trustee shall select such Notes, or portions or principal amount thereof, in the manner specified by Section 3.02 hereof for selection for redemption of less than all the Notes of a series.

Section 9.02. Legal Defeasance.

(a) The Issuer may, at its option at any time, elect to have this Section 9.02 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof.

(b) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), the Issuer and each Guarantor shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and each Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 9.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Supplemental Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all their other respective obligations under such Notes and this Supplemental Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 9.05 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, and interest on, such Notes when such payments are due from such trust fund, (ii) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.07 hereof, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith and (iv) this Section 9.02. Subject to compliance with this Article 9, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 9.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03 hereof with respect to the Notes.

Section 9.03. Covenant Defeasance.

(a) The Issuer may, at its option by Board Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, at any time, elect to have this Section 9.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof.

“Covenant Defeasance”); provided, however, that Covenant Defeasance will not be effective until such time as Events of Default contained in Section 6.01(h) and (i) hereof no longer apply, and the Notes and the Note Guarantees shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees, the Issuer and each Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event or Default under Section 6.01(c) hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Supplemental Indenture, and such Notes and the Note Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof, the Events of Default described under clauses (c) (only with respect to the failure of the Issuer to comply with subclause (iii) of Section 5.01(a) hereof), (d), (e) (only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such Covenant Defeasance), (f) and (g) of Section 6.01 hereof and the Events of Default described under clauses (h), (i) and (j) of Section 6.01 hereof (but only with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Issuer), in each case, will no longer constitute an Event of Default.

Section 9.04. Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 9.02 or 9.03 hereof to the outstanding Notes and the Note Guarantees:

(a) the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee), as trust funds, in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. legal tender or U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest), in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firms of independent public accountants selected by the Issuer, to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes on the scheduled due dates or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, provided that the Trustee shall have received an irrevocable written order from the Issuer instructing the Trustee to apply such U.S. legal tender or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with respect to such Notes;

(b) in the case of an election under Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Supplemental Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, Legal Defeasance and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting solely from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under this Supplemental Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is bound (other than any such Default or default resulting solely from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

(f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Issuer or others; and

(g) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions precedent provided for in, in the case of the Officer’s Certificate, clauses (a) through (f) and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, clauses (b) and/or (c) and (e) of this Section 9.04 have been complied with.

Section 9.05. Application of Trust Money.

All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.01 or 9.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Supplemental Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Anything in this Article 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon a written request of the Issuer in the form of an Officer’s Certificate any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 9.01 or 9.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of

the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 9.06. Repayment to the Issuer.

Subject to Sections 9.01, 9.02, 9.03, 9.04, 9.05 and 9.07 hereof, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request any excess U.S. legal tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. Subject to applicable abandoned property laws, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any payment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or deliver to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed, and that after a date specified therein which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or delivery, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person.

ARTICLE X

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Supplemental Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, each Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, as between a Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations in respect of the Note Guarantees hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purpose of each Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of each Note Guarantee.

Each Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all Obligations owing or payable to the respective Holders upon receipt of a demand for payment therefor (if then permitted pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture) by the Trustee to such Guarantor in writing.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Article 10.

Section 10.02. Severability.

In case any provision of this Article 10 shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.03. Limitation on Guarantor’s Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, foreign or state

law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and this Article 10 shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including any and all guarantees under the Credit Facilities) that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Guarantor that makes a payment for distribution under its Note Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the adjusted net assets of each Guarantor.

Section 10.04. Successors and Assigns.

This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall ensure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Supplemental Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Supplemental Indenture.

Section 10.05. No Waiver.

Each of the Guarantors agrees that to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege and (b) the rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 10.06. Release of Guarantor.

A Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Note Guarantee and its obligations under this Supplemental Indenture:

(a) in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Voting Stock of such Guarantor then held by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries;

(b) if such Subsidiary Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or otherwise ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case in accordance with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, upon effectiveness of such designation or when it first ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, respectively;

(c) if such Guarantor would no longer be required to issue a Note Guarantee as required under Section 4.19 hereof, including, without limitation, upon the release of the

Guarantor from its liability in respect of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that required the Guarantor to initially Guarantee the Notes; provided that a Guarantor shall not be permitted to be released from its Note Guarantee if it is an obligor with respect to Indebtedness that would not, under Section 4.10 hereof be permitted to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary;

(d) upon Legal Defeasance of the Notes or satisfaction and discharge of this Supplemental Indenture as provided by Article 9; or

(e) with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in accordance with Article 8.

Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that one of the foregoing requirements has been satisfied and the conditions to the release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee under this Section 10.06 have been met, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Section 10.07. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors. Each Subsidiary which is required to become a Guarantor shall, and the Issuer shall cause each such Subsidiary to, promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor under this Article 10 and shall guarantee the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes and this Supplemental Indenture. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor is a valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

Section 10.08. Notation of Note Guarantee.

To evidence the Note Guarantee set forth in this Article 10, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee shall be placed on each Note authenticated and made available for delivery by the Trustee and that this Note Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer of each Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Supplemental Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

Section 10.09. Subordination of Subrogation and Other Rights. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any claim against the Issuer that arises from the payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under the Note Guarantee or this Supplemental Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, shall be subject and subordinate to, and no payment with respect to any such claim of such Guarantor shall be made before, the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Notes in accordance with the provisions provided therefor in this Supplemental Indenture.

Indenture or of any Guarantor under its Note Guarantee for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes and the Note Guarantees.

Section 11.11. Successors.

All agreements of each of the Issuer and each Guarantor in this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes shall bind their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee, any additional trustee and any Paying Agents in this Supplemental Indenture shall bind their respective successors.

7.375% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2021

1. INTEREST. American Greetings Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of the original issuance of the Notes. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing June 1, 2012. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

The Issuer shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium and on overdue installments of interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect on the Notes.

2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not such day is a Business Day) even if the Notes are cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such Record Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Payments of principal and premium, if any, will be made (on presentation of such Notes if in certificated form) in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that the Issuer may pay principal, premium and interest by check payable in such money or if a Holder has given transfer instructions to the Issuer at least ten Business Days prior to the applicable payment date, the Issuer will make all payments on such Holder’s Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in those instructions. The Issuer may deliver any such interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder at the Holder’s registered address.

3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, a trust company organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders. Neither the Issuer nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may act as Paying Agent but may act as Registrar or co-Registrar.

4. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. The Issuer issued this Note under the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 30, 2011 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, to the Base Indenture, dated as of November 30, 2011 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Initial Notes of the Issuer designated as its 7.375% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). The Notes include the Initial Notes and the Additional Notes, if any. The Initial Notes and the Additional Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Supplemental Indenture. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Supplemental Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Supplemental Indenture and those made part of the Supplemental Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture

A-4

Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Supplemental Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Supplemental Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Issuer.

5. REDEMPTION.

(a) Optional Redemption. Except as set forth below, the Notes shall not be redeemed prior to December 1, 2016.

(c) Redemption upon Consummation of Certain Qualified Equity Offerings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time or from time to time prior to December 1, 2014, the Issuer, at its option, may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued under the Supplemental Indenture with the net cash proceeds of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings at a Redemption Price equal to 107.375% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided that (1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Supplemental Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and (2) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of any such Qualified Equity Offering.

Notice of redemption under paragraph 5 of this Note will be delivered at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder to be redeemed, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a satisfaction and discharge of the Supplemental Indenture.

Except as set forth in the Supplemental Indenture, if monies for the redemption of the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent for redemption on such redemption date, then, unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of such redemption price plus accrued interest, if any, the Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest from and after such redemption date and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price plus accrued interest, if any.

7 OFFERS TO PURCHASE. The Supplemental Indenture provides that, after certain Asset Sales and upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Issuer will make an offer to purchase certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Supplemental Indenture.

A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Supplemental Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Supplemental Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption.

9. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered holder of a Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

10. UNCLAIMED MONEY. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Issuer. After that, Holders entitled to money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another person.

11. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE. If the Issuer at any time deposits with the Trustee U.S. legal tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity and complies with the other provisions of the Supplemental Indenture relating to defeasance, the Issuer will be discharged from certain provisions of the Supplemental Indenture and the Notes (including certain covenants, but excluding its obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes).

12. AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS, AND WAIVERS. Subject to certain exceptions, the Supplemental Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the

A-6

Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Supplemental Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders in the case of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets in accordance with Article 5 of the Supplemental Indenture, to release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or the Supplemental Indenture (to the extent permitted by the Supplemental Indenture), to conform the text of the Supplemental Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of the notes” section of the Prospectus Supplement to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Supplemental Indenture or the Notes, to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the Supplemental Indenture, to allow any Subsidiary to execute a supplement to the Supplemental Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee, to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder or, in the case of the Supplemental Indenture, to maintain the qualification of the Supplemental Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

13. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS. The Supplemental Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of each of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness, make payments in respect of its Equity Interests, enter into transactions with Affiliates, create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, sell assets, create liens, issue capital stock, make certain Investments, merge or consolidate with any other Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

14. SUCCESSOR ENTITY. When a successor entity assumes, in accordance with the Supplemental Indenture, all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Supplemental Indenture, and immediately before and thereafter no Default or Event of Default exists and certain other conditions are satisfied, the predecessor entity will be released from those obligations.

15. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default are set forth in the Supplemental Indenture. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) of the Supplemental Indenture) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, by written notice to the Issuer, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee, may declare (an “acceleration declaration”) all amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable; provided, however, that after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal, premium and interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. In case an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) of the Supplemental Indenture occurs with respect to the Issuer and is continuing, such principal amount, together with premium and interest with respect to all of the Notes, shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders.

The Trustee under the Supplemental Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Issuer, and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

17. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. As more fully described in the Supplemental Indenture, no director, officer, employee, shareholder or incorporator, as such, of the Issuer shall have any liability for any obligation of the Issuer under the Notes or the Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

18. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

19. GOVERNING LAW. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
