(2)    the incurrence and repayment of any Indebtedness of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness which is covered by clause (1) above), including any repayment of any Indebtedness with the proceeds from the incurrence of Indebtedness covered by this clause (2) or in connection with the related transaction referred to in clause (3) of this definition, in each case that occurred 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 Determination Date, as if such incurrence or repayment had occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period, but only to the extent the incurrence or repayment of such Indebtedness was made in connection with a transaction or series of related transactions described in clause (3) below that meets the significance test set forth in such clause (3); provided, however, that such calculation shall not give pro forma effect to the incurrence of any Indebtedness described in this clause (2) if such Indebtedness is not outstanding as of the Determination Date; and

(3)    any sale or other disposition or any purchase or other acquisition or origination of any Investments, Persons or other securities or assets (other than (a) any purchase, acquisition or origination covered by clause (1) above or (b) in the ordinary course of business) made by such Person or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, by merger, consolidation, acquisition of Capital Stock or otherwise) in one transaction or a series of related transactions 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 Determination Date (including, without limitation, any Consolidated EBITDA attributable to the Investments, Persons or other securities or assets which were sold, disposed of, purchased, acquired or originated as aforesaid), in each case as if such sale, disposition, purchase, acquisition or origination had occurred on the first day of the Four Quarter Period, but, anything in this clause (3) to the contrary notwithstanding, only if the Investments, Persons or other securities or assets sold, disposed of, purchased, acquired or originated in such transaction or such series of related transactions, as the case may be, constituted, at the time of such transaction or series of related transactions (or, at the option of the Parent Guarantor, would have constituted, as of the last day of the Four Quarter Period), a Significant Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor.

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and if pro forma effect is being given to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, the interest expense on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Determination Date had been the applicable rate for that portion of the Four Quarter Period during which such Indebtedness was not outstanding (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness bears an interest rate chosen at the option of the Parent Guarantor and if pro forma effect is being given to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, the interest rate shall be calculated by applying such optional rate chosen by the Parent Guarantor for that portion of the Four Quarter Period during which such Indebtedness was not outstanding. For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any calculation under this definition, the pro forma calculations will be determined in good faith by the Parent Guarantor and such pro forma calculations may include, for the avoidance of doubt and at the Parent Guarantor’s sole discretion, any cost savings and expense reductions relating to any transaction which is being given pro forma effect (x) that have been or are expected to be realized within 12 months after the date of such transaction and/or (y) that are determined in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

In making any pro forma calculation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility outstanding on the applicable Determination Date (other than any Indebtedness being incurred under such facility in connection with a transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) will be deemed to be:

(i)    the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable Four Quarter Period or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding, or

(ii)    if such facility was created after the end of such Four Quarter Period, the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of such facility to such Determination Date.

“Consolidated Fixed Charges” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum, without duplication, of:

(1)    Consolidated Interest Expense (excluding any amortization of debt discount or expense); plus

(2)    the amount of all cash dividend payments on any Disqualified Capital Stock of such Person and any Preferred Stock of any Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary that guarantees payment of the Notes) of such Person (in each case other than dividends paid or payable in Capital Stock that is not Disqualified Capital Stock and dividends paid to such Person or any of its Subsidiaries) paid, accrued or scheduled to be paid or accrued during such period,

SECTION 2.02. Form and Dating; Denominations.

The Notes (including Global Notes) and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication thereon shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes shall bear such legends as may be required by Appendix A hereto (which is incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture) and may have such other notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Issuers is subject, if any, or usage. The Issuers shall approve the forms of the Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement on them. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Unless otherwise provided in an Officers’ Certificate, Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes in registered form without coupons, which shall be deposited with the Note Custodian, duly executed by the Issuers and, upon receipt of a written order from the Issuers, authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, and shall bear the applicable legends required by Appendix A. The aggregate principal amount of a Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Registrar and the Note Custodian, and on the “Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Note” attached to such Global Note.

Notes may be issued in the form of Certificated Notes in registered form without coupons and that do not bear a Global Note Legend, duly executed by the Issuers and, upon receipt of a written order from the Issuers, authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided, in exchange for interests in Global Notes only in the circumstances and manner set forth in Section 2.15 and in compliance with the provisions, if applicable, of Appendix A.

SECTION 2.03. Execution and Authentication.

An Officer shall sign the Notes for the Issuers by manual, facsimile or electronic image scan (e.g., pdf) signature.

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

The Trustee shall authenticate Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in the aggregate principal amount of $375,000,000 (the “Initial Notes”) upon receipt by the Trustee of a written order of the Issuers in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. In addition, upon receipt of a written order from the Issuers, the Trustee shall from time to time thereafter authenticate Additional Notes in unlimited amount (so long as not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.07) for original issue upon receipt by the Trustee of a written order of the Issuers in the form of an Officers’ Certificate.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuers may deliver Notes executed by the Issuers to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Issuers in the form of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order of the Issuers shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.

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

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Issuers and Affiliates of the Issuers.

26

SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Issuers shall maintain an office or agency in the United States of America where (a) Notes may be presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”), (b) Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment (the “Paying Agent”) and (c) notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuers may also from time to time designate (without notice to Holders) one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and where such notices and demands may be served and may from time to time rescind or change such designations; provided, however, that no such designation, rescission or change shall relieve the Issuers of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the United States of America for such purposes. The Issuers may change or remove any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to any Holder so long as there is a Paying Agent and Registrar in United States of America. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation, rescission, removal or change referred to in the two immediately preceding sentences. The Issuers or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, co-Registrar or Paying Agent. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers, upon notice to the Trustee but without notice to Holders, may appoint one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and may rescind the appointment of and change any such co-Registrars or additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

The Issuers shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, which agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuers shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Issuers fail to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.

The Issuers hereby appoint the Trustee, acting through its Corporate Trust Office in the United States of America, as initial Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes.

In acting hereunder and in connection with the Notes, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall act solely as an agent of the Issuers, and will not thereby assume any obligations towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder.

SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.

On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Issuers shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due; provided, however, to the extent any such funds are received by the Paying Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), on such Business Day, such funds will be deemed deposited within one (1) Business Date of receipt thereof. The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. If the Issuers or a Domestic Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.06. Holder 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 Issuers shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably 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.

27

SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange.

Subject to Section 2.15 and, if applicable, the provisions of Appendix A, 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, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements and any applicable requirements under Appendix A for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuers and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing. The Issuers, the Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder to furnish such endorsements and transfer documents as any of them may reasonably request in connection with the registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, in addition to any documents that otherwise are required or may be required as provided in this Indenture (including Exhibit A hereto). A Note may not be transferred or exchanged unless such Note shall have been surrendered at an office or agency maintained by the Issuers for such purpose. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and, upon receipt of a written order from the Issuers, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be imposed by the Issuers, the Trustee or any Registrar, Paying Agent or co-Registrar for any registration of transfer or exchange (other than pursuant to Section 2.08), but the Issuers, the Registrar or any co-Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

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

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, prior to the due presentment of any Note for registration of transfer or exchange, the Issuers, the Trustee and any Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and (subject to the Record Date provisions of the Notes) interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Issuers, the Trustee or any Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Registrar or any co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing (or, if not mailed, other transmittal) of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing (or other transmittal), (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (iii) tendered for repurchase pursuant to a Change of Control Offer and not validly withdrawn.

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Notes may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Depositary for 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 system.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Global Note or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Global Note (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Global Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Global Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Notes). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Notes shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any

28

interest in any Global Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Notes) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. Neither the Trustee nor any of its agents shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by DTC.

SECTION 2.08. Replacement Notes.

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or stolen, and if the Issuers and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Issuers shall issue and, upon receipt of a written order from the Issuers, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met and subject to satisfaction of any additional requirements, if applicable, as may be set forth in Appendix A hereto. Such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity and/or security, sufficient in the judgment of both the Issuers and the Trustee to protect the Issuers, the Trustee and any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuers may charge such Holder for the reasonable expenses of the Issuers, the Trustee and any Agent in replacing a Note pursuant to this Section 2.08, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Issuers, the Trustee or any Agent, as well as any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuers.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the provisions of this Section 2.08 shall be exclusive and shall preclude all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Notes.

Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions and increases in the interests in Global Notes effected by the Trustee, the Registrar or the Note Custodian in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or any of its Affiliates holds the Note (subject to the provisions of Section 2.10).

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08. If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest ceases to accrue. If on any Redemption Date, maturity date, Change of Control Payment Date or any other date on which a payment of principal of a Note is due, the Trustee or Paying Agent (other than the Issuers or an Affiliate thereof) holds U.S. Legal Tender in an amount sufficient to pay all of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on such Note payable on that date, then on and after that date such Note ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.10. Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuers or any of their Affiliates shall be disregarded, except that, for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in conclusively relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be disregarded.

29

SECTION 2.11. Temporary Notes.

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and, upon receipt of a written order from the Issuers, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Issuers considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and, and upon receipt of a written order from the Issuers, the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Holders of definitive Notes. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Notes may be in typewritten form.

SECTION 2.12. Cancellation.

The Issuers at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, any co-Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, at the written direction of the Issuers, and no one else, shall cancel and dispose of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures and deliver a certificate of such disposal to the Issuers upon their written request therefor unless the Issuers direct the Trustee in writing to deliver canceled Notes to the Issuers. The Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Issuers or any Affiliate 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 2.12.

SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuers shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent lawful, any interest payable on the defaulted interest at the rate provided in the last paragraph of Section 4.01, in any lawful manner. The Issuers may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and the related payment date and shall promptly mail or cause the Trustee (at the written request and expense of the Issuers) to mail (or, in the case of Global Notes, otherwise transmit in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures) to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee (if mailed or transmitted by the Issuers), a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.14. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

The Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption, repurchase, Change of Control Offers or exchanges and on checks or advice of payment as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that neither the Issuers nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers that appear on any Note or any such notice, check or advice of payment, and any such notice or advice of payment may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP or ISIN numbers and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and no such redemption, repurchase, Change of Control Offer, exchange, advice or payment shall be affected by any defect in or omission of any such numbers.

SECTION 2.15. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

(a)    Unless otherwise specified in an Officers’ Certificate or as provided in 2.15(b) below, the Global Notes shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Note Custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear such legends as may be required by Appendix A hereto.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or the Note Custodian, or under the Global Notes, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuers, the Trustee and any Agent as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuers or

30

the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Participants, the operation of Depositary’s customary procedures governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder or beneficial owner of any Note.

(b)    Transfers of Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be exchanged for Certificated Notes only as follows and subject, if applicable, to the further requirements set forth in this Indenture, including Appendix A hereto. Certificated Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Notes if (1) the Depositary notifies the Issuers that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act (if such registration is required by applicable law) and the Issuers do not appoint a successor Depositary for the Notes within 90 days after the Issuers receive such notification or becomes aware that the Depositary has ceased to be so registered, as the case may be, (2) the Issuers, at their option and subject to the Depositary’s procedures, notify the Trustee in writing that the Issuers elect to cause the issuance of Certificated Notes or (3) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default. The Trustee and the Registrar shall have no obligation to effect an exchange of Global Notes for Certificated Notes pursuant to clause (3) of the immediately preceding sentence until receipt of a written request from the Issuers. In all cases, Certificated Notes delivered in exchange for any Global Note or beneficial interests therein will be registered in the names, and issued in any authorized denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and, if applicable, will bear the applicable restrictive legends referred to in Appendix A hereto unless the Issuers determine otherwise or such legend shall have been removed as provided in Appendix A hereto, and in any event subject, if applicable, to the requirements set forth in Appendix A hereto.

ARTICLE 3

REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee.

If the Issuers elect to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 5 of the Notes, they shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and whether the redemption is being made pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 5 of the Notes.

The Issuers shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section 3.01 at least five days before notice of redemption is required to be mailed (or otherwise transmitted) to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee in writing); provided that such notice may be revoked by the Issuers by written notice to the Trustee at any time prior to the time on the date specified by the Issuers for the Trustee to forward notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in Section 3.03 or, if the Issuers do not request the Trustee to forward notice of such redemption to Holders, at any time prior to the Issuers’ giving of the notice of such redemption to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03.

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed.

If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee pro rata or by lot; provided that, in the case of Notes represented by one or more Global Notes, interests in such Global Notes will be selected for redemption by the Depositary in accordance with its applicable procedures therefor. Notes shall be redeemed in a minimum principal amount of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided that the remaining principal amount of any Note redeemed in part shall be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

31

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.05, notice of any redemption of the Notes will be mailed by the Issuers by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or, if the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes and if the Depositary’s applicable procedures so provide, transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures therefor, at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address (or at such other address or in such other manner as may be provided by the Depositary’s applicable procedures). Each notice for redemption shall identify the Notes (including the CUSIP number) to be redeemed and include statements to substantially the following effect (with such changes therein or additions thereto as the Issuers in their sole discretion may deem appropriate):

(1)    the Redemption Date;

(2)    the redemption price (or, if not then ascertainable at the time, a general statement regarding how the redemption price will be calculated) and that accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes to be redeemed shall be paid to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date);

(3)    the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(4)    that the Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price plus accrued interest, if any;

(5)    if less than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed and stating that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of that Note, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount of the Note remaining unredeemed (or, in the case of Global Notes, appropriate adjustments of the principal amount of a Global Note will be made, as applicable);

(6)    that, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption as long as the Issuers have deposited with a Paying Agent, on or before the applicable Redemption Date, funds in an amount sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on such Redemption Date and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, such Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date), and the only remaining right of the Holders of the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption will be to receive payment of the redemption price and such accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon surrender of the Notes to be redeemed to the Paying Agent; and

(7)    any conditions to such redemption as determined by the Issuers in their sole discretion, and, if such redemption is subject to conditions, the Issuers may at their option also include a statement to the effect that the Redemption Date may be delayed, on one or more occasions and in the Issuers’ sole discretion, either (at the Issuers’ option) to a date specified by the Issuers in such notice or in a subsequent notice to Holders (subject, if the Issuers shall so elect, to the satisfaction of any or all such conditions or the Issuers’ written waiver of any such conditions that are not satisfied) or until such time as any or all such conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Issuers in writing, and that, if any such condition shall not have been satisfied as and when required (as determined by the Issuers in its sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Issuers to delay such Redemption Date), then (unless the Issuers shall have waived in writing any such conditions that are not satisfied), the Issuers shall have no obligation to redeem the Notes called for redemption on such Redemption Date (as the same may have been delayed by the Issuers as aforesaid) and may cancel such proposed redemption and rescind such notice of redemption, or any other statement that the Issuers in its sole discretion may deem necessary or advisable concerning matters described in Section 3.05 or to implement any provision of Section 3.05.

32

At the Issuers’ written request (which shall specify the date and, at the option of the Issuers, the time at which the notice of redemption shall be given), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuers’ name and at the Issuers’ expense unless the Issuers shall have revoked such notice of redemption as provided in Section 3.01. In such event, the Issuers shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section 3.03 at least five days prior to the Trustee giving the notice of redemption, unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period.

The notice, if mailed (or otherwise transmitted) in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail (or to transmit such notice in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures) or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is mailed (or otherwise transmitted) in accordance with Section 3.03 and all conditions (if any) to such redemption are satisfied as and when required (as determined by the Issuers in their sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Issuers to delay the applicable Redemption Date as provided in Section 3.05) or the Issuers waive in writing any such conditions that are not satisfied, (i) Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date (or, if the Issuers have delayed such Redemption Date, the applicable delayed Redemption Date (as defined in Section 3.05), as the case may be) and at the applicable redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as applicable) (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date), (ii) upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes or portions thereof called for redemption shall be paid at the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (or, if the Issuers have delayed such Redemption Date, to, but excluding, the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be), except that the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date (or delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be) shall be paid to the Persons who were the Holders of record at the close of business on the applicable Record Date, and (iii) on and after the applicable Redemption Date (or, if the Issuers have delayed such Redemption Date, the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be) interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

SECTION 3.05. Conditions to Redemption.

(a)    Any redemption of the Notes may, at the Issuers’ sole discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, which shall be described in the related notice of redemption to Holders of Notes, which conditions may include, without limitation, completion of one or more Qualified Equity Offerings, other securities offerings or other financings, transactions or events. If such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice to Holders of Notes may (at the option of the Issuers) include a statement to the effect that the Redemption Date may be delayed, on one or more occasions and in the Issuers’ sole discretion, either (at the Issuers’ option) to a date specified by the Issuers in such notice or in a subsequent notice to such Holders (subject, if the Issuers shall so elect, to satisfaction of any or all such conditions or the Issuers’ written waiver of any such conditions that are not satisfied) or until such time as any or all of such conditions have been satisfied or waived by the Issuers in writing, and that, if any such conditions shall not have been satisfied as and when required (as determined by the Issuers in their sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Issuers to delay such Redemption Date), then (unless the Issuers shall have waived in writing any such conditions that are not satisfied), the Issuers shall have no obligation to redeem the Notes called for redemption on such Redemption Date (as the same may have been delayed by the Issuers as aforesaid) and may cancel such proposed redemption and rescind any notice of such redemption. In order to delay any Redemption Date (or to further delay any delayed Redemption Date (as defined below)), the Issuers shall provide written notice to the Trustee at least two Business Days before such Redemption Date (or such delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be), to the effect that the Issuers have elected to delay such Redemption Date (or such delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be) and specifying the new Redemption Date (a “delayed Redemption Date”) (which may, at the Issuers’ option, be specified as the date on which any or all conditions to such redemption are satisfied (as determined by the Issuers in their sole discretion) or waived by the Issuers), and the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes that were to be redeemed in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. The Issuers may delay any Redemption Date on one or more occasions.

33

(b)    If all conditions precedent (if any) to any redemption of the Notes shall not have been satisfied as and when required (as determined by the Issuers in their sole discretion and taking into account any election by the Issuers to delay such Redemption Date) or waived by the Issuers in writing and the Issuers have not elected to delay (or further delay) the applicable Redemption Date (or the applicable delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be), the Issuers shall provide written notice to the effect that the Issuers have elected to cancel such redemption to the Trustee prior to close of business two Business Days prior to such Redemption Date (or such delayed Redemption Date, as the case may be). Upon the Trustee’s receipt of such notice, the notice of such redemption shall be automatically rescinded and such redemption shall be automatically cancelled and the Issuers shall have no obligation to redeem the Notes called for redemption.

On the Issue Date, the Notes will be guaranteed solely by the Parent Guarantor and each of the Issue Date Subsidiary Guarantors. If, on any date (a “Guarantee Date”), the aggregate Obligated/Guaranteed Principal Amount of any Domestic Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor (other than a Domestic Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that is an Excluded Subsidiary or a Securitization Entity) exceeds $2.5 million, the Parent Guarantor will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after such Guarantee Date (except as set forth in the proviso below), a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Domestic Subsidiary will unconditionally guarantee the payment of the Notes, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors of the Notes; provided that, if a Domestic Subsidiary that would have been required to guarantee the Notes but for the fact that it was an Excluded Subsidiary or a Securitization Entity shall be required to guarantee the Notes because it shall have ceased to be an Excluded Subsidiary or a Securitization Entity, or if a Subsidiary that was a Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to guarantee the Notes because it shall have become a Domestic Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary or a Securitization Entity, as the case may be, the supplemental indenture referred to above shall be delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the date such Domestic Subsidiary shall have ceased to be an Excluded Subsidiary or a Securitization Entity or such Foreign Subsidiary shall have become a Domestic Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary or Securitization Entity, as the case may be. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, no Excluded Subsidiary, Securitization Entity or Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to guarantee the Notes or become a Guarantor.

The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes of any series will be limited as provided in Section 10.03.

Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, a Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes will automatically and permanently terminate and be released, all other obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture will automatically and permanently terminate and such Guarantor will be automatically and permanently released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes and this Indenture under the circumstances set forth in Section 10.05.

(2)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction and, if applicable, the assumption contemplated by Section 5.01(b)(1)(B)(ii) above (including giving pro forma effect to any Indebtedness and Acquired Indebtedness incurred and any repayment, repurchase, defeasance, redemption or other discharge of Indebtedness by the Parent Guarantor or the Surviving Guarantor, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with such transaction), the Parent Guarantor or such Surviving Guarantor, as the case may be: (a) shall have a Consolidated Net Worth equal to or greater than the Consolidated Net Worth of the Parent Guarantor immediately prior to such transaction, in each case determined as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending on or prior to the date of such transaction for which financial statements of the Parent Guarantor or the Surviving Guarantor, as the case may be, are available; or (b) shall be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.07(b); or (c) shall have a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio that is equal to or greater than the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Parent Guarantor immediately prior to such transaction (the computations required by clauses (b) and (c) above shall be computed on a pro forma basis giving

42

effect to such transaction as if it had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Four Quarter Period ended on or prior to the date of such transaction for which financial statements of the Parent Guarantor or the Surviving Guarantor, as the case may be, are available and the other pro forma adjustments set forth in the definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”). If the transaction involves a Surviving Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor and the Surviving Guarantor have different fiscal quarters, then the relevant Four Quarter Period and, for purposes of clause (a) of this paragraph (2), the relevant fiscal quarter, may, at the election of the Parent Guarantor, be based on either the Parent Guarantor’s or the Surviving Guarantor’s fiscal quarters;

(3)    immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Parent Guarantor or the Surviving Guarantor, as the case may be, or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by the Parent Guarantor or the Surviving Guarantor, as the case may be, or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, and any Indebtedness to be repaid, repurchased, defeased, redeemed or otherwise discharged by the Parent Guarantor or the Surviving Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with such transaction as having been repaid, repurchased, defeased, redeemed or otherwise discharged at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(4)    the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion may be subject to customary assumptions, limitations and exceptions), each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.01(a) or (b), any Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor may merge or consolidate with or into or transfer all or any part of its properties and assets to the Parent Guarantor or the Surviving Guarantor or any other Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or the Surviving Guarantor and Section 5.01(b) and, except in the case of (i) a merger or consolidation with or into the Parent Guarantor or the Surviving Guarantor (which shall comply with the provisions set forth in Section 5.01(b) other than clauses (2), (3) and (4) thereof) and (ii) a merger or consolidation with or into an Issuer or the Surviving Entity (which shall comply with the provisions set forth under Section 5.01(a) (to the extent not involving a merger or consolidation of the Parent Guarantor or the Surviving Guarantor with or into an Issuer or the Surviving Entity, other than clauses (2) and (3)), Section 5.01, shall not apply to any such transaction.

(d)    For purposes of the foregoing, the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor (other than sales, assignments, transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of Securitization Assets, Repurchase Agreement Assets, Investments or other securities or assets, in each case in the ordinary course of business), the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Parent Guarantor on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Parent Guarantor.

(e)    For purposes of clarity, it is understood and agreed that references in this Section 5.01 to sales, assignments, transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of Securitization Assets, Repurchase Agreement Assets, Investments or other securities or assets in the ordinary course of business shall include, without limitation, any sales, assignments, transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of Securitization Assets, Repurchase Agreement Assets, Investments or other securities or assets (1) that are made (x) to any Securitization Entity for the purpose of enabling such Securitization Entity to securitize the assets so sold, assigned, transferred, leased, conveyed or disposed of or enabling such Securitization Entity to issue Non-Recourse Indebtedness secured by such assets or to enter into any Repurchase Agreements with respect to such assets or (y) to any Person pursuant to a Repurchase Agreement that is otherwise permitted (or not prohibited) by this Indenture, under which such Person is a buyer of Repurchase Agreement Assets, and (2) that the Parent Guarantor in good faith determines to be consistent with past practice of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or to reflect customary or accepted practice in the businesses, industries or markets in which the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries operates or reasonably expects to operate or that reflect reasonable extensions, evolutions or developments of any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, by way of new transactions or structures), and as a result, none of the foregoing shall constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Parent Guarantor’s properties and assets, on a consolidated basis or otherwise, for purposes of the other paragraphs of this Section 5.01.

43

(f)    Upon any consolidation or merger or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Parent Guarantor in accordance with the foregoing in which the applicable Issuer is not the surviving or continuing entity, as the case may be, the Surviving Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, such Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as an “Issuer” herein and therein, and the applicable Issuer shall be released from all of its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes; provided that, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Parent Guarantor, the applicable Issuer will not be released from its obligation to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.

(g)    If the Surviving Entity or the Surviving Guarantor in any transaction described in, and made in compliance with, this Section 5.01 shall be a Guarantor of the Notes, or if a Guarantor shall merge or consolidate with or into the Parent Guarantor, any Issuer, the Surviving Entity, or the Surviving Guarantor, as the case may be, in any transaction described in, and made in compliance with this Section 5.01, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of the Notes will automatically terminate and be released and such Guarantor will automatically be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes and all of its other obligations as a Guarantor under this Indenture contemporaneously with such transaction.

(h)    Any reference in this Indenture to a consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition shall be deemed to apply to a division of, or by, a limited liability company, limited partnership or trust, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company, limited partnership or trust (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any division of a limited liability company, limited partnership or trust shall constitute a separate Person under this Indenture (and each division of any limited liability company, limited partnership or trust that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person or entity).

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 with respect to the Parent Guarantor or any Issuer) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the written request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Parent Guarantor and (if the notice is given by Holders) to the Trustee specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration,” and, upon such a declaration, such unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (6) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 with respect to the Parent Guarantor or any Issuer occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

At any time after any such acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee and the Parent Guarantor may rescind and cancel any such acceleration and its consequences if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) all existing Events of Default, other than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Notes that have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived, (iii) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, in each case which have become due otherwise than by such acceleration, at the per annum rate specified in the last paragraph of Section 4.01, has been paid; and (iv) the Issuers have paid the Trustee its compensation as provided for in this Indenture and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances in connection with such acceleration and rescission.

In the event of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default specified in clauses (3) or (5) of the first paragraph under this Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing, the acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and cancelled if (a) within 60 days after such acceleration of the Notes as a result of such Event of Default, the judgment as to which caused such Event of Default shall be less than $50.0 million, having been paid, discharged, stayed or waived by the holders of the relevant judgment or the relevant judgment having been repaid, redeemed, defeased or otherwise discharged, or otherwise, (b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (c) all existing Events of Default, other than nonpayment of the principal of or interest on the Notes that shall have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived.

In the event of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default specified in clause (4) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing, the acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded and cancelled if (a) within 60 days after such acceleration of the Notes as a result of such Event of Default, the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor as to which a Payment Default or

46

an Acceleration shall have occurred and shall be continuing shall be less than $50.0 million, whether as a result of any such Payment Default or Payment Defaults or Acceleration or Accelerations, as the case may be, having been remedied or cured or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness, the relevant Indebtedness having been repaid, redeemed, defeased or otherwise discharged, or otherwise, (b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (c) all existing Events of Default, other than nonpayment of the principal of or interest on the Notes that shall have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived.

No rescission of acceleration of the Notes pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure of the Issuers to comply with their obligations set forth in Section 4.09 of this Indenture, will, for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the 180-day period beginning on, and including, the day on which such an Event of Default occurs during which such Event of Default is continuing (and neither waived nor cured). If the Issuers so elect, such additional interest will be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. On the 181st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the obligations as set forth in Section 4.09 is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided above. The provisions of this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Issuers do not elect to pay the additional interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this paragraph or the Issuers elect to make such payment but do not pay the additional interest when due, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in this Section 6.02.

In order to elect to pay the additional interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with the reporting obligations in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Issuers must notify all Holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 180-day period. Upon the Issuers’ failure to timely give such notice, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided above.

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, or interest on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

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. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, 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 and all available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive, by their consent (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), any Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a continuing default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes held by any non-consenting Holder (excluding a default in payment resulting from an acceleration that has been or is being waived or rescinded or that has been cured). Upon any such waiver, such Default or Event of Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

47

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority.

Subject to Section 7.02(g), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee under this Indenture. Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or the Notes or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to it against all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) caused by or that might be caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

Subject to Section 6.07, a Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes or any Guarantees, unless:

(1)    such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2)    the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made a written request, and such Holder or Holders shall have offered indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Trustee to pursue a remedy; and

(3)    the Trustee has failed to comply with such request and has not received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request within 60 days after such notice, request and offer of security and/or indemnity.

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes held by such Holder on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 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 principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest remaining unpaid (together with interest on any overdue interest (to the extent permitted by applicable law) at the rate per annum specified in the last paragraph of Section 4.01) and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee.

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 and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Issuers, its creditors or its property 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 (it being understood it shall be under no obligation to do so), to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 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 proceeding.

48

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

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

THIRD: to the Issuers.

The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Issuers, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. Promptly after any record date or payment date is set pursuant to this Section 6.10, the Trustee shall cause notice of such record date or payment date or both, as the case may be, to be given to the Parent Guarantor and each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 11.02.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken 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 and expenses, 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 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity, priority or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuers in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or any statement in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives written notice of such Default or Event of Default, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of an Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its Board of Directors or a committee thereof or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

SECTION 7.06. Reserved.

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation as the Issuers and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for the Trustee’s services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such expenses as shall have been caused by the Trustee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision). Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s agents, counsel and accountants. The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Issuers promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received notice or of which a Responsible Officer has otherwise become aware for which the Trustee or any Trustee Party (as defined below) may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate and shall cause all Trustee Parties to cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and all Trustee Parties may have one firm of separate counsel selected by the Trustee in connection with the defense of such claim and the Issuers shall pay the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuers will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if, subject to the approval of the Trustee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Trustee and any Trustee Parties subject to the claim, on the other hand, in connection with such defense as reasonably determined by the Trustee. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee or a Trustee Party (as adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision). The Issuers need not pay for any settlement made by the Trustee or any Trustee Party without the Issuers’ written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any settlement which affects a Trustee Party may not be entered into without the consent of the Trustee, unless the Trustee and the applicable Trustee Party is given a full and unconditional release from liability with respect to the claims covered thereby and such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability, or failure to act by or on behalf of the Trustee or the applicable Trustee Party. All indemnifications and releases from liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers, directors, employees, agents and successors (collectively, “Trustee Parties”).

To secure the Issuers’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, or other amounts payable to Holders under, the Notes or the Guarantees.

The Issuers’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the discharge or termination of this Indenture.

Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in clause (6) of the first paragraph of Section 6.01 with respect to the Parent Guarantor or any Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under applicable Insolvency Law.

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

The Trustee may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior written notice of such resignation to the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may, upon 30 days prior written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, remove the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee; provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuers shall have the right to consent to the successor Trustee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Issuers may remove the Trustee if:

(1)    the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

52

(2)    the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

(4)    the Trustee 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 Issuers shall notify each Holder of such event and 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 Issuers.

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

Anything in this Section 7.08 to the contrary notwithstanding but subject to the provisions of Section 7.09, no resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08 shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08.

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

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business to, another corporation or bank, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or bank, without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided that such corporation or bank shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 7.

In case at the time such successor or successors (by merger, conversion, transfer of all or substantially all of its corporate trust business or consolidation) to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the same full force and effect as if they had been authenticated by the predecessor Trustee.

53

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5). The Trustee shall have (or, in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its (or its related bank holding company’s) most recent published annual report of condition. In addition, if the Trustee is a corporation or bank included in a bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of the bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA § 310(a)(2). The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b), subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuers are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Issuers.

The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a)(1) and 310(a)(5), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

SECTION 8.03. Conditions to Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(3)    in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions, exceptions and limitations) confirming that the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

56

(4)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit pursuant to clause (1) of this Section 8.03 (other than a Default and Event of Default resulting from borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar or substantially contemporaneous transactions and, in each case, the granting of any Liens in connection therewith);

(5)    such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or instrument that, in the judgment of the Issuers, is material with respect to the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (excluding this Indenture) to which the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(6)    the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions, exceptions and limitations), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Section 8.03 to such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (2) of this Section 8.03 with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable on their maturity date or any earlier Redemption Date within one year and, in the case of any such redemption, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers.

SECTION 8.05. Repayment to the Issuers.

The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to the Issuers upon request any excess U.S. Legal Tender and U.S. Government Obligations and proceeds therefrom held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money, securities and proceeds.

57

thereafter look only to the Issuers as general creditors for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such money, U.S. Government Obligations and proceeds, and all liability of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement.

(10)    to provide for the issuance and delivery of Additional Notes.

The Issuers shall not be required to notify Holders of modifications, amendments or supplements made pursuant to this Section 9.01.

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders.

(a)    Without limitation to the provisions of Section 9.01, modifications, amendments and supplements of the Notes, any Guarantees or other guarantees thereof or this Indenture may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), and compliance with any provision of the Notes, any Guarantees or other guarantees thereof or this Indenture may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or a tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes), except that, without the consent of each Holder of Notes, no amendment, supplement or waiver may:

(1)    reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2)    reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Notes, except pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(8);

59

amendment, supplement, waiver or modification of provisions in such covenant or any definitions or other provisions in this Indenture or otherwise, unless such amendment, supplement waiver or modification shall be in effect prior to the occurrence of the applicable Change of Control Triggering Event.

A consent to any modification, amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender or exchange of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange.

(b)    It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed modification, amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed modification, amendment, supplement or waiver.

(c)    After a modification, amendment, supplement, or waiver under Section 9.02(a) becomes effective, the Issuers shall mail (or otherwise transmit) to the Holders affected thereby at their registered addresses a notice briefly describing the modification, amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail (or transmit) such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such modification, amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers.

Until an amendment, waiver, modification 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 amendment, waiver, modification or supplement is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or any portion of its Note by notice to the Trustee and the Parent Guarantor received before the date on which such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement, modification or waiver becomes effective in accordance with the terms thereof.

The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described in this Article 9 or required or otherwise permitted to be given or taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at the close of business on such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give any consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent or action shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

After an amendment, supplement, modification or waiver becomes effective, it shall be conclusive and binding on every Holder.

SECTION 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

GUARANTEES

SECTION 10.01. Unconditional Guarantee.

Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, from and after the Issue Date, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Holder of an outstanding Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors: (a)(x) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise, (y) the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal at the rate per annum set forth in the last paragraph of Section 4.01 and (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) overdue premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and (z) the due and punctual payment of all other amounts due from the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture or the Notes, all in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes, the due and punctual payment of the Guarantee Obligations in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, upon written demand by the Trustee, the same immediately.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever (in each case except as required by this Indenture). Each Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor hereby agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article 10, the maturity of certain obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of the Guarantees, notwithstanding (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law) forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Guarantees. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuers or otherwise.

SECTION 10.02. Benefits Acknowledged.

SECTION 10.03. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance for purposes of any 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 Guarantor or Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its 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 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 Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article 10 not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under such laws or any other applicable federal, foreign or state laws. This Section 10.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the termination of any Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.05.

SECTION 10.04. Notation of Guarantee Not Required.

Neither the Issuers nor any Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof.

So long as they are Transfer Restricted Notes, the Initial Notes and any Additional Notes (other than Registered Additional Notes) may not be offered, sold or disposed of except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction.

Neither a Rule 144A Note nor any interest or participation therein may be offered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of at any time prior to (x) the date which is six months (assuming the Issuers satisfy the current public reporting requirements of Rule 144) or one year (if the Issuers does not) after the later of the date of original issue of such Rule 144A Note (or any predecessor thereto) and the last date on which the Issuers or any “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Issuers was the owner of such Rule 144A Note (or any predecessor thereto) or any interest or participation in such Rule 144A Note or (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by any subsequent change in applicable law (the “U.S. Resale Restriction Termination Date”), except (a) to the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) pursuant to a registration statement which is effective under the Securities Act, (c) for so long as such Rule 144A Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a Person the transferor reasonably believes is a QIB acquiring such Rule 144A Note or such interest or participation for its own account or for the account of another QIB to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (d) to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation S or (e) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject to, in each of the foregoing cases, any requirement of law that the disposition of such Rule 144A Note or such interest or participation be at all times within the transferor’s control, and to compliance with the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction and with the procedures specified in the Indenture (including this Appendix A).

Until the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to a Regulation S Note, such Regulation S Note or any interest or participation therein (i) may not be offered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed within the United States (within the meaning of Regulation S) or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person, except to a Person that the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB acquiring such Regulation S Note or such interest or participation for its own account or for the account of another QIB to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and (ii) except as provided in clause (i) above, may not be offered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or disposed of except to a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction within the meaning of, and in compliance with, Regulation S, and in each case such offer, sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or disposition must comply with the securities laws of any other applicable jurisdiction and with the procedures specified in the Indenture (including this Appendix A). In addition, during such Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective direct or indirect participants.

The remaining provisions of this Section 2.2 are intended to implement the forgoing restrictions. To the extent that any transfer or exchange of Transfer Restricted Notes (including, without limitation, beneficial interests in Restricted Global Notes) is not covered by a specific procedure in the remaining provisions of this Section 2.2,

A-3

the Parent Guarantor may implement such procedures and impose such conditions to such exchange or transfer (including, without limitation, the delivery of certificates, legal opinions and other documents) as the Parent Guarantor in its sole discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to implement the foregoing restrictions.

(b)    Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes. If Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes pursuant to Section 2.15(b) of the Indenture, such Certificated Notes will be registered in the names, and issued in any authorized denominations, requested by or on behalf of the Depositary (in accordance with its customary procedures) and, if any such Global Notes are Transfer Restricted Notes, the Certificated Notes issued in exchange for interests therein will bear the Certificated Note Restricted Legend and either the Rule 144A Legend or the Regulation S Legend, as applicable, unless otherwise determined by the Issuers. If Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in Global Notes, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the applicable Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interests being exchanged for Certificated Notes and the Registrar shall instruct the Note Custodian to decrease or reflect on its records a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note (and to record such decrease by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note) in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such interests being exchanged. If Certificated Notes are issued in exchange for beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note, then, unless the Issuers shall otherwise advise the Trustee and the Registrar in writing, such interests may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.2 (including the certification and other requirements set forth in this Section 2.2 intended to ensure that such exchanges comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or another applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Issuers.

When Certificated Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request:

(x) to register the transfer of such Certificated Notes; or

(y) 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 its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met and if the requirements for such registration of transfer or exchange set forth in this Appendix A and Section 2.07 of the Indenture shall have been satisfied; provided, however, that if a Certificated Note surrendered for transfer or exchange bears a Restricted Notes Legend, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall not register the transfer or exchange of such Certificated Note (including any such transfer or exchange to the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor) unless (A) such transferor shall have delivered to the Registrar or co-Registrar a certificate to the effect set forth in Exhibit F to the Indenture, appropriately completed and signed by such transferor, (B) in the case of any transfer or exchange pursuant to any transaction that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act (other than a transfer to the Parent Guarantor or one of its Subsidiaries or a transaction pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S), such transferor shall have also delivered to the Registrar or co-Registrar (i) if such transfer or exchange is being made pursuant to Rule 144, a legal opinion addressed to the Issuers and the Registrar or co-Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuers, to the effect that such transfer or exchange is being made in reliance on Rule 144, that the Holder may transfer such Certificated Note without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 and that, accordingly, the Restricted Note Legend on such Certificated Note may be removed or (ii) if such transfer or exchange is not being made pursuant to Rule 144, a legal opinion addressed to the Issuers and the Registrar or co-Registrar, in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuers, to the effect that such transfer or exchange may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and (C) such transferor shall have also delivered to the Issuers and the Registrar or co-Registrar, as the case may be, any additional certifications, legal opinions and other information as may be required by the Issuers to determine that the proposed transfer or exchange is being made in compliance with the Securities Act and applicable state or other securities laws. In the case of any such proposed transfer or exchange that requires the delivery of a legal opinion as provided for above, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall notify the Issuers of such proposed transfer or exchange in order to provide the Issuers with an opportunity to review such legal opinion and request such additional certifications, legal opinions and other information the Issuers may require.

(c)    Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes. (i) The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including this Appendix A) and the procedures of the Depositary and, if applicable, Clearstream and Euroclear. In the case of any exchange of a

A-4

beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, and any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, in each case being made prior to expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note, the beneficial interests in such Regulation S Global Note must be held through an account with a participant in either Euroclear or Clearstream, or both, as the case may be.

(i)    Subject to compliance with the other applicable requirements of this Section 2.2(c), if the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, (A) the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred; and (B) the Registrar shall instruct the Note Custodian to increase or reflect on its records an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred (and to record such increase by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note) in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall instruct the Note Custodian, concurrently with such increase, to decrease or reflect on its records a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred by a corresponding amount (and to record such decrease by endorsement on the Schedule attached to such Global Note).

(ii)    If the proposed transfer is an exchange of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note or the transfer of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note, the transferor of such beneficial interest shall deliver to the Registrar prior to any such exchange or transfer (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Indenture if such exchange or transfer is to occur prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note or (B) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Indenture if such exchange or transfer is to occur after the expiration of such Distribution Compliance Period, in each case appropriately completed and signed by the transferor.

(iii)    If the proposed transfer is an exchange of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or the transfer of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note and such exchange or transfer is to occur prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period with respect to such Regulation S Global Note, the transferor of such beneficial interest shall deliver to the Registrar prior to any such exchange or transfer a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Indenture, appropriately completed and signed by such transferor.

(iv)    Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such original Global Note and will become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for so long as it remains such an interest.

(v)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A, a Global Note may not be transferred except as provided in the first sentence of Section 2.15(b) of the Indenture.

A-5

(d)    Legend.

(i)    Each Global Note shall bear the following or a similar legend (or, if DTC is not the Depositary for such Global Note, any other legend that may be required by whosoever shall be the Depositary) (the “Global Notes Legend”) on the face thereof:

3.375% Senior Note due 2026

Section 1. Interest

HAT Holdings I LLC and HAT Holdings II LLC, each a Maryland limited liability company (the “Issuers,” which term includes its successors under the Indenture referred to below), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate of 3.375% per annum until June 15, 2026 or such earlier date on which the principal of this Note shall have been paid or duly provided for. The Issuers will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”) or, if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day, commencing December 15, 2021. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including June 28, 2021; provided that if this Note is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest on this Note shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Section 2. Method of Payment

Interest on the Notes payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Persons who are the Holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on the Record Date (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.13 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to receive payments of principal and premium, if any. The Issuers will pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in U.S. Legal Tender. The Issuers will pay the principal and premium, if any, on, and may pay interest on, any Certificated Notes at the office or agency maintained by the Issuers for such purpose in the United States of America, upon surrender of such Certificated Notes by the Holders thereof at such office or agency. Interest on any Certificated Notes may also be paid, at the Issuers’ option, by check mailed to the registered addresses of the Holders entitled thereto or by wire transfer to accounts in the United States of America specified by such Holders. The Issuers will pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on Global Notes registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee in immediately available funds to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as Holder of such Global Notes.

Section 3. Paying Agent and Registrar

Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuers may replace or change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co Registrar so long as there is a Paying Agent and Registrar in the United States of America, and may appoint additional Paying Agents and co-Registrars, in each case without notice to Holders. The Parent Guarantor or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, co Registrar or Paying Agent.

Section 4. Indenture

The Issuers issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of June 28, 2021 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors (as defined therein) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Trustee”). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined in this Note have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

Section 5. Optional Redemption

(a)    Prior to March 15, 2026, (three months prior to the Maturity Date) the Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Issuers’ option at any time and from time to time at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium as of, together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date).

A-5

On and after March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the Maturity Date), the Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Issuers’ option at any time from time to time at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on any interest payment date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date).

“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to any Note on any Redemption Date for such Note, the greater of: (1) 1.0% of the principal amount of such Note and (2) the excess, if any, of (a) the present value as of such Redemption Date of (i) the principal amount of such Note on March 15, 2026 (three months prior to the Maturity Date) plus (ii) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on such Note to, and including the March 15, 2026, excluding accrued but unpaid interest to such Redemption Date, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (b) the principal amount of such Note. Calculation of the Applicable Premium and the Treasury Rate will be made by the Issuers or on behalf of the Issuers by such Person as the Issuers shall designate; provided, however, that such calculation shall not be a duty or obligation of the Trustee.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to a Redemption Date for any Note, the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) that has become publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the first day on which the Issuers mail or otherwise transmit the notice of redemption or, in the case of redemption in connection with Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.02 of the Indenture, as applicable, at least two Business Days prior to the deposit of trust funds with the Trustee in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data selected by the Issuers)) most nearly equal to the period from such Redemption Date to March 15, 2026; provided, however, that if such period is not equal to the constant maturity of the United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given, except that if such period is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.

(b)    Prior to March 15, 2026, the Issuers will be entitled at their option on one or more occasions to redeem the Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) originally issued prior to the applicable Redemption Date at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) of 103.375%, together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of the Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to such Redemption Date), with the Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings; provided, however, that:

Subject to certain conditions, certain of the Issuers’ covenants and obligations under the Indenture may be permanently terminated.

The Indenture, the Notes and any Guarantees or any other guarantees thereof may be modified, amended or supplemented as provided in the Indenture, and compliance with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees or any other guarantees thereof may be waived, as provided in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Parent Guarantor or any Issuer) shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the written request of such Holders shall, declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing to the Issuers as provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency relating to the Parent Guarantor or any Issuer occurs and is continuing, then all principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and cancel any such

A-8

acceleration and its consequences on the terms and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture, and an acceleration of the Notes may, under certain limited circumstances provided for in the Indenture, also be automatically rescinded and cancelled.

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11 of the Indenture.

Section 17. No Recourse Against Others

A director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, partner or member of, or owner of an equity interest in, any Issuer or any Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligations of any Issuer or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note shall be deemed to have waived and released all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

Section 18. Successors

Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, when a successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those obligations.
