credit facilities after giving effect to such incurrence (with letters

Borrowing Base as of the date of such incurrence;
(g) Section 4.10 of the Indenture is hereby amended by amending and
restating the second paragraph thereof and by adding thereto a new third
paragraph thereof to read as follows:
Subject to the next succeeding paragraph, within 360 days after
receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Issuer or its Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply such Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale
to permanently reduce Indebtedness under the New Credit Facility in accordance
with its terms, if applicable, or to the extent not required to be applied
thereunder, may, at its option, apply such Net Proceeds to repayment of
Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (in the case of Net Proceeds from an
Asset Sale effected by a Restricted Subsidiary) or to an investment in a
Restricted Subsidiary or in another business or capital expenditure or other
long-term/tangible assets, in each case, in the same or a similar line of
business as the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries were engaged in on
the date of this Indenture or in businesses reasonably related thereto. Pending
the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Issuer may temporarily
reduce Indebtedness under the New Credit Facility or otherwise invest such Net
Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. Any Net
Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the
first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute "Excess
Proceeds." When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million,
the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to all Holders of Notes (an "Asset
Sale Offer") to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be
purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer
6
price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, thereon to the date
of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. To
the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale
Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer may use any remaining Excess
Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of
Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the
Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon
completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be
reset at zero.
Notwithstanding any provisions hereof to the contrary (including,
without limitation, the immediately preceding paragraph), with respect to the
first $50.0 million of Net Proceeds from all Asset Sales consummated after
August 1, 2000, within 15 days after the receipt of any such Net Proceeds from
any such Asset Sale, the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may
be, shall be required to make an Asset Sale Offer to purchase the maximum
principal amount of Notes that may be purchased out of 100% of such Net
Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to (i) 85% of the
principal amount thereof if the Asset Sale was consummated on or prior to March
31, 2001 pursuant to a definitive agreement executed and delivered by the
parties thereto on or prior to December 31, 2000, or (ii) 100% of the principal
amount thereof if the Asset Sale was consummated pursuant to a definitive
agreement executed and delivered by the parties thereto after December 31, 2000,
in each case in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 hereof.
In each case the Company shall pay accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
purchase on Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. If the aggregate
principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the amount of
Net Proceeds available to purchase Notes in respect of any such Asset Sale
Offer, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis.
Upon the completion of any Asset Sale Offer made pursuant to this paragraph as
to which the Net Proceeds available to purchase Notes in respect thereof
together with the Net Proceeds made available in respect of all previous Asset
Sale Offers made pursuant to this paragraph is sufficient to offer to purchase
the then remaining outstanding Notes, the provisions of Sections 4.02 to 4.19,
inclusive, Sections 5.01 and 5.02, Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6), (9), (10),
(11), (12), (13)and (14), the last paragraph of Section 6.01 and Sections 12.01
and 12.02 of this Indenture shall thereafter be deemed to be of no further force
and effect and any remaining security interests granted by the Issuer to the
Trustee to secure the obligations evidenced by the Notes shall automatically
terminate.
(h) Article 4 of the Indenture is hereby amended by adding thereto the
following Sections 4.18 and 4.19:
SECTION 4.18 IMPAIRMENT OF SECURITY INTERESTS
7
Neither Holdings nor the Issuer nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take
or omit to take any action which action or omission could reasonably by expected
to have the result of adversely affecting or impairing the Lien in favor of the
Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes in the Collateral.
SECTION 4.19 ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL
As soon as practicable after the date hereof, the Issuer shall take (or
shall cause the appropriate Guarantor or Subsidiary to take) all actions
necessary to grant to the Trustee and perfect a Lien on the Issuer's (or such
Guarantor's or Subsidiary's) additional Collateral acquired after the date of
this Indenture.
(i) Section 5.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended by deleting the
word "and" appearing in the first paragraph thereof before clause "(iv)" thereof
and adding to the end of such first paragraph the following language:
; and (v) the surviving entity causes such amendments, supplements
or other instruments to be filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as
may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Lien of
the Collateral Documents in the Collateral owned by or transferred to
the surviving entity, together with such financing statements as may be
required to perfect any security interests in such Collateral which may
be perfected by the filing of a financing statement other than
Permitted Liens; (vi) the property and assets of the Person which is
merged or consolidated with or into the surviving entity, to the extent
that they are property and assets of types which would constitute
Collateral under the Collateral Documents, shall be treated as
After-Acquired Property and the surviving entity shall take such
actions as may be necessary to cause such property and assets to be
made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents, and perfect such
security interest in such Collateral, in the manner and to the extent
required in the Indenture.
(j) Section 6.01 is hereby amended by deleting the word "and"
appearing before clause "(9)" thereof and adding to the end of the first
paragraph thereof the following provisions:
(10) Guarantor, the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries fails to
comply with any of its other agreements or covenants in, or provisions
of, the Collateral Documents and the default continues for the period
and after the notice specified in Section 6.03;
(11) a default by a Guarantor, the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries in the performance of any of the Collateral Documents
which adversely affects the enforceability or validity of the Lien in
the Collateral or which adversely affects the condition or value of the
Collateral in any material respect, any repudiation or disaffirmation
by a Guarantor, the Issuer or any Subsidiary of its Obligations under
the Collateral Documents or the determination in a judicial proceeding
that
8
the Collateral Documents are unenforceable or invalid against Holdings,
the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries for any reason;
(12) any loss, theft, damage or destruction of any item or items
of Collateral or other property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary occurs
which could reasonably be expected to cause a material adverse effect
to the Collateral and is not adequately covered by insurance;
(13) any Collateral Document ceases to be in full force and effect
or any Lien with respect to any portion of the Collateral intended to
be secured thereby ceases to be, or is not, valid, perfected and prior
to all other liens (other than the Permitted Liens, including without
limitation, under the New Credit Facility) or is terminated, revoked or
declared void; and
(14) any Event of Default under the New Credit Facility and
related security documents.
(k) Section 6.03 of the Indenture is hereby amended by adding to the
end of the first paragraph thereof the phrase "or the Collateral Documents."
Section 6.03 of the Indenture is hereby further amended by adding after the
second paragraph thereof the following provisions:
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) the Trustee
shall have for the benefit of the Holders, in addition to all other rights of
the Trustee and the Holders, the rights and remedies of a secured party under
the Collateral Documents and the Uniform Commercial Code; (ii) the Trustee may,
at any time, take possession of the Collateral and keep it on the Issuer's
premises, at no cost to the Trustee or any Holder, or remove any part of it to
such other place or places as the Trustee may desire, or the Issuer shall, upon
the Trustee's demand, at the Issuer's cost, assemble the Collateral and make it
available to the Trustee at a place reasonably convenient to the Trustee; and
(iii) the Trustee may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private
sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as
the Trustee deems advisable, in its sole discretion, and may, if the Trustee
deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an
announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned
sale without giving a new notice of sale. Without in any way requiring notice to
be given in the following manner, the Issuer agrees that any notice by the
Trustee of sale, disposition or other intended action hereunder or in connection
herewith, whether required by the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall
constitute reasonable notice to the Issuer if such notice is mailed by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or is
delivered personally against receipt, at least ten (10) days prior to such
action to the Issuer's address specified in or pursuant to SECTION 13.02. If any
Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no
credit shall be given against the Obligations under the Notes until the Trustee
or the Holders receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the
9
Trustee may resell the Collateral without further notice to the Issuer. In the
event the Trustee seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the
Collateral by judicial process, the Issuer irrevocably waives: (A) the posting
of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be
required; (B) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or
action to recover the Collateral; and (C) any requirement that the Trustee
retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final
judgment. The Issuer agrees that the Trustee has no obligation to preserve
rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any
Person. The Trustee is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without
charge, the Issuer's labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade
names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property, in
completing production of, advertising or selling any Collateral, and the
Issuer's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to
the Trustee's benefit for such purpose. The proceeds of sale shall be applied
first to all expenses of sale, including attorneys' fees, and then to the
Obligations. The Trustee will return any excess to the Issuer and the Issuer
shall remain liable for any deficiency.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Issuer hereby
waives all rights to notice and hearing prior to the exercise by the Trustee of
the Trustee's rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to
reply, attach or levy upon the Collateral without notice or hearing.
(l) The Indenture is hereby amended by adding after Article 9 thereof
the following Articles 10 and 11, by renumbering the subsequent existing
Articles and Sections accordingly and by amending each and every reference to
such renumbered existing Articles and Sections accordingly:

of any Person or Persons with or into the Issuer or a Subsidiary or Guarantor,
pursuant to an Asset Sale) of the type that constitutes or would constitute

blank, to the Trustee; and

SECTION 10.02 RECORDING, REGISTRATION AND OPINIONS

create legal and valid Liens in the Collateral in favor of the Trustee for the
ratable benefit of the Holders, and such Liens constitute perfected and

limitation, under the New Credit Facility) securing all Obligations owed to

only to the Permitted Liens including, but without limitation, under the New
Credit Facility), including without limitation, the filing of financing
statements, continuation statements and any instruments of further assurance, in
such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to preserve and

without limitation, financing statements, have been properly recorded and filed
to the extent necessary to record or register (as the case may be), and if
applicable, to perfect the Liens on and security interests in the Collateral
created by the Collateral Documents, to the extent that, in the case of
perfection of security interests, a security interest may be perfected by filing
under the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction, and reciting
the details of such action, and stating that as to the Liens and security
interests created pursuant to the Collateral Documents, such recordings,
registrations and filings are the only recordings, registrations and filings
necessary to give notice thereof and perfect such security interest therein and
that no re-recordings, re-registrations or refilings are necessary to maintain
such notice or perfection (other than as stated in such opinion), or (ii) to the
effect that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary to
record or register such Liens or to perfect such security interests. The Issuer
or the applicable Guarantor shall furnish to the Trustee, at the time of
execution and delivery of any additional Collateral Documents or any amendments
or supplements to existing Collateral Documents, an Opinion of Counsel either
substantially to the effect set forth in clause (i) of the immediately preceding
sentence (but relating only to such additional Collateral Documents or any
amendments or supplements to existing Collateral Documents and the related
After-Acquired Property) or to the effect set forth in clause (ii) thereof, and
to the further effect that such additional Collateral Documents or amendments or
supplements to existing Collateral Documents, as the case may be, have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitute the valid, binding and
enforceable obligations of the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may
be, subject to customary exceptions. In addition, promptly after execution and

the Trustee hereunder and under the Collateral Documents
13
with respect to the Collateral; provided that if there is a required filing of a
continuation statement within such 24 month period and such continuation
statement is not effective if filed at the time of the opinion, such opinion may

SECTION 10.03 RELEASE OF COLLATERAL

Liens created by this Indenture and the Collateral Documents unless such release
is in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral
Documents.
(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, at any time when an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions
of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents shall be effective as against the
Holders.
(c) The release of any Collateral from the Lien of the Collateral
Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in
contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is
released pursuant to this Indenture and the Collateral Documents. To the extent
applicable, the Issuer shall cause TIA Section 314(d) relating to the release of
property from the Lien of the Collateral Documents and relating to the
substitution therefor of any property to be subjected to the Lien of the
Collateral Documents to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by
TIA Section 314(d) may be made by an officer of the Issuer, except in cases
where TIA Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by
an independent person, which person shall be an independent engineer,
appraiser or other expert selected or approved by the Trustee in the exercise
of reasonable care.
SECTION 10.04 POSSESSION AND USE OF COLLATERAL
Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and
the Collateral Documents (including, but not limited to, the Intercreditor
Agreement), so long as the Trustee has not exercised rights or remedies with
respect to the Collateral in connection with an Event of Default that has
occurred and is continuing, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall have the right
to remain in possession and retain exclusive control of and to exercise all
rights with respect to the Collateral (other than Trust Monies held by the
Trustee, other than monies or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the
Trustee, and other than as set forth in the Collateral Documents and this
Indenture), to operate, manage, develop, lease, use, consume and enjoy the
Collateral (other than Trust Monies
14
held by the Trustee, other than monies and U.S. Government Obligations deposited
with the Trustee and other than as set forth in the Collateral Documents and
this Indenture), to alter or repair any Collateral consisting of machinery or
equipment so long as such alterations and repairs do not impair the Lien of the
Collateral Documents thereon and to collect, receive, use, invest and dispose of
the reversions, remainders, interest, rents, lease payments, issues, profits,
revenues, proceeds and other income thereof. The Issuer shall, and shall cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain all of such Collateral as is necessary and
useful in the conduct of its business, in good operating condition and repair,
ordinary wear and tear accepted.
SECTION 10.05 INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION PROCEEDS
(a) The Issuer shall maintain, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to maintain, with financially sound reputable insurers having a
rating of at least A+ or better by Best Rating Guide, insurance against loss or
damage by fire with extended coverage; theft, burglary, pilferage and loss in
transit; public liability and third party property damage; larceny, embezzlement
or other criminal liability; business interruption; public liability and third
party property damage; and such other hazards or of such other types as is
customary for persons engaged in the same or similar business, as the Issuer, in
its discretion, or acting at the direction of the Holders, shall specify, in
amount, and under policies acceptable to the Holders. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Issuer shall also maintain, and shall cause each of its
Subsidiaries to maintain, flood insurance, in the event of a designation of the
area in which any Collateral covered by the Mortgages is located as
"flood-prone" or a "flood risk area" as defined by the Capital Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, in an amount to be reasonably determined by the Issuer
approximating the value of the Collateral so insured, and shall comply with the
additional requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in
said Act. The Issuer shall also maintain flood insurance for its inventory and
equipment which is, at any time, located in such an area.
(b) The Issuer shall cause the Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the
Holders, to be named as secured party or mortgagee and loss payee as its
interest shall appear and additional insured. Each policy of insurance shall
contain a clause or endorsement requiring the insured to give not less than ten
(10) days prior written notice to the Trustee in the event of cancellation of
the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause or endorsement stating that
the interest of the Trustee shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or
neglect of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or the owner of any real estate
for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by such policy. All premiums for
such insurance shall be paid by the Issuer when due, and certificates of
insurance and photo copies of the policy shall be delivered to the Trustee, in
each case in sufficient quantity for distribution by the Trustee to each of the
Holders. If the Issuer fails to procure such insurance or to pay the premiums
therefore when due, the Trustee
15
may procure such insurance and shall be fully indemnified and held harmless for
such expenditure as provided herein.
(c) The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any loss, damage
or destruction to the Collateral with value exceeding $500,000, whether or not
covered by insurance. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture and the Collateral Documents (including, but not limited to, the
Intercreditor Agreement), the Trustee shall be authorized to collect all
insurance and condemnation proceeds in respect of the Collateral directly and to
apply or remit them as follows:
(i) With respect to insurance and condemnation proceeds
relating to Collateral other than equipment and real property, after
deducting from such proceeds the reasonable expenses, if any, incurred
by the Trustee in collection or handling thereof, the Trustee shall
apply such proceeds ratably to the reduction of the Obligations owed
pursuant to the Notes and this Indenture.
(ii) With respect to insurance and condemnation proceeds
relating to Collateral consisting of equipment and real property, the
Trustee shall permit or require the Issuer to use such proceeds, or any
part thereof, to replace, repair, restore, rebuild equipment and real
property in a diligent and expeditious manner with materials and
workmanship with substantially the same quality that existed before the
loss, damage or destruction; so long as (A) no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) the aggregate proceeds do
not exceed $1 million and (C) the Issuer first (1) provides the Trustee
and the Holders with plans and specifications for any such repair or
restoration which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and
the Holders and (2) demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee and the Holders that the funds available to it will be
sufficient to complete such project in the manner provided therein. In
all other circumstances, the Trustee shall apply such insurance and
condemnation proceeds to the reduction of the Obligations owed to the
Holders pursuant to the Notes and this Indenture.
SECTION 10.06 ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
(a) The Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
conduct business in compliance with all environmental laws applicable to it,
including those relating to generation, handling, used, storage and disposal of
any contaminant. The Issuer shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
take prompt and appropriate action to respond to any noncompliance with
environmental laws and shall regularly report to the Trustee on such response.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer shall
submit to the Trustee annually, commencing on June 30, 2001, and on each
16
anniversary of such date thereafter, an update of the status of each material
environmental compliance liability issue. The Trustee or any Holders may request
copies of technical reports prepared by the Issuer and its communications with
any governmental authority to determine whether the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries is proceeding reasonably to correct, cure or contest in good faith
any alleged material noncompliance or environmental liability. The Issuer shall,
at the Trustee's request and at the Issuer's expense, (i) retain an independent
environmental engineer acceptable to the Trustee to evaluate the site, including
tests if appropriate, where the material noncompliance or related noncompliance
with environmental laws has occurred and prepare and deliver to the Trustee, in
sufficient quantity for distribution by the Trustee to the Holders, a report
setting forth results of each such evaluation, and proposed plan for responding
to any environmental problems described therein, and an estimate of the cost
thereof, and (ii) provide to the Trustee and the Holders a supplemental report
of such engineer whenever the scope of environmental problems, or the response
thereto or the estimated cost thereof, shall increase in any material respect.
(c) Representatives of the Trustee and/or Holders will have the right
at any reasonable time to enter or visit the real property comprising any of the
Collateral and any other place where any property of the Issuer is located for
purposes of observing the same, taking and removing soil or groundwater samples,
and conducting tests on any part of the Collateral if such representative
believes that such Collateral is not in compliance with environmental laws. The
Trustee is under no duty, however, to visit or observe the Collateral or to
conduct such tests. Any such acts by the Trustee or its representatives will be
solely for the purposes of protecting the Trustee's liens and preserving the
Trustee's and the Holders' rights under the Indenture. No site visit,
observation or testing by the Trustee representatives will result in a waiver of
any Default of the Issuer or impose any liability on the Trustee or the Holders.
In no event will any site visit, observation or testing by the Trustee
representative be a representation that hazardous substances are or are not
present in, or under the property comprising the Collateral, or that there has
been or will be compliance with any environmental law. Neither the Issuer nor
any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by
the Trustee representatives. The Trustee and the Holders owe no duty of care to
protect the Issuer or any other party against or to inform the Issuer or any
other party of, any hazardous substances or any other adverse condition
affecting the Collateral. The Trustee may in its discretion disclose to the
Issuer or to any other party and shall disclose to each such party as so
required by law any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection
with, any site visit or observation or testing by the Trustee representative.
The Issuer understands and agrees that the Trustee makes no warranties or
representations to the Issuer or any other party regarding the truth, accuracy
or completeness of any such report or findings that may be disclosed. The Issuer
also understands that depending on the results of any site visit, observation or
testing by the Trustee or its representatives and disclosed to the Issuer, the
Issuer may have a legal obligation to notify one or more environmental
17
agencies of the results, that such reporting requirements are site specific, and
are to be evaluated by the Issuer without advice or assistance from the Trustee.
In each instance, the Trustee will give the Issuer reasonable notice before
entering the property comprising the Collateral or any other place the Trustee
is permitted to enter under this section. The Trustee will make reasonable
efforts to avoid interfering with the Issuer's use of the Collateral or any
other property in exercising any rights provided hereunder.
SECTION 10.07 SPECIFIED RELEASES OF COLLATERAL
(a) SATISFACTION and DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE. The Issuer and the
Guarantors shall be entitled to obtain a full release of all of the Collateral

reimburse the Issuer or the applicable Subsidiary or Guarantor for expenditures
made, or to pay costs incurred, by the Issuer or such Subsidiary or Guarantor in
connection with the repair, rebuilding or replacement of the Collateral
destroyed, damaged or taken, upon receipt by the Trustee of the following:
(a) an Officers' Certificate, dated not more then 30 days prior to the
date of the application for the withdrawal and payment of such Trust Monies
setting forth:
(i) that expenditures have been made, or costs incurred by
the Issuer or such Subsidiary or Guarantor, as the case may be, in a
specified amount in connection with certain repairs, rebuildings and
replacements of the Collateral, which shall be briefly described, and
stating the fair market value thereof to the Issuer or such Subsidiary
or Guarantor at the date of the acquisition thereof by the Issuer or
such Subsidiary or Guarantor;
(ii) that no part of such expenditures or costs has been or
is being made the basis for the withdrawal of any Trust Monies
24
in any previous or then pending application pursuant to this Section
11.02;
(iii) that no part of such expenditures or costs has been paid
out of either the proceeds of insurance upon any part of the Collateral
not required to be paid to the Trustee under the Collateral Documents
or any award for or the proceeds from any of the Collateral being taken
not required to be paid to the Trustee under Section 10.07(d), as the
case may be;
(iv) that there is no outstanding Indebtedness, other than
costs for which payment is being requested, known to the Issuer, after
due inquiry, for the purchase price or construction of such repairs,
rebuildings or replacements, or for labor, wages, materials or supplies
in connection with the making thereof, which, if unpaid, might become
the subject of a vendor's, mechanics', laborers', materialmen's,
statutory or other similar Lien upon any such repairs, rebuildings or
replacement, which Lien might, in the opinion of the signers of such
Officers' Certificate, materially impair the security afforded by such
repairs, rebuildings or replacements;
(v) that the property to be repaired, rebuilt or replaced is
necessary or desirable in the conduct of the Issuer's or such
Subsidiary or Guarantor's business;
(vi) that the Issuer or such Subsidiary or Guarantor has
title to such repairs, rebuildings and replacements that is
substantially similar to its title to the property destroyed, damaged
or taken and that any Liens upon such repairs, rebuildings and
replacements are expressly permitted by this Indenture and the
applicable Collateral Documents;
(vii) that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing; and
(viii) that all conditions precedent herein provided for
relating to such withdrawal and payment have been complied with.
(b) all documentation required under the TIA (including, without
limitation, TIA Section 314(d));
(c) all documentation necessary to subject such repairs, rebuilding or
replacements to a valid first priority Lien and security interest in favor of
the Trustee (or, in the case of property subject to a Mortgage and Deed of
Trust, the Trustee or another trustee under such Mortgage and Deed of Trust) for
the benefit
25
of the Holders pursuant to the Collateral Documents, including, without
limitation, all instruments, agreements, certificates, Opinions of Counsel and
documents required by Section 10.01; and
(d) an Opinion of Counsel substantially stating:
(i) that the instruments that have been or are therewith
delivered to the Trustee conform to the requirements of this Indenture
and the other Collateral Documents, and that, upon the basis of such
Issuer order and the accompanying documents specified in this Section
11.02, all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such
withdrawal and payment have been complied with, and the Trust Monies
whose withdrawal is then requested may be paid over under this Section
11.02;
(ii) that the relevant Collateral Documents create a valid,
binding and enforceable Lien on and security interest in such repairs,
rebuilding and replacements for the benefit of the Holders in favor of
the Trustee and, to the extent that a security interest in any such
property may be perfected under the relevant Uniform Commercial Code, a
perfected security interest in such property; and
(iii) that all the Issuer's or such Subsidiary Guarantor's
right, title and interest in and to said repairs, rebuilding or
replacements, or combination thereof are then subject to the Lien of
this Indenture and the relevant Collateral Documents.
Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.02 and
Section 11.01, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Issuer Order, pay an amount
of Trust Monies of the character aforesaid equal to the amount of the
expenditures or costs stated in the Officers' Certificate required by clause (i)
of paragraph (a) of this Section 11.02, or the fair market value to the Issuer
or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor of such repairs, rebuildings and
replacements stated in such Officers' Certificate (or in an Independent
Appraiser's or Independent Financial Advisor's certificate, if required by the
TIA), whichever is less; provided, however, that notwithstanding the above, so
long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in
the event that any Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Awards for such property or
proceeds of such sale do not exceed $25,000 and, in the good faith estimate of
the Issuer, such destruction or damage resulting in such Net Insurance Proceeds
or such taking or sale resulting in such Net Awards does not detrimentally
affect the value or use of the applicable Collateral in any material respect,
upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate to such effect and
compliance with Section 10.01, the Trustee shall release to the Issuer or the
applicable Subsidiary Guarantor such Net
26
Insurance Proceeds or Net Awards for such property or proceeds of such sale,
free of the Lien hereof and of the Collateral Documents.
SECTION 11.03 WITHDRAWAL OF NET CASH PROCEEDS TO FUND AN ASSET SALE

To the extent that any Trust Monies consist of Collateral Proceeds
received by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.10 hereof and an
Asset Sale Offer has been made in accordance therewith, such Trust Monies may be
withdrawn by the Issuer and shall be paid by the Trustee to the Paying Agent for
application in accordance with Section 4.10 upon an Issuer Order to the Trustee

(iv) that all conditions precedent and covenants herein
provided for relating to such application of Trust Monies have been

(b) all documentation, if any, required under TIA Section 314(d); and
upon compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.03,
the Trustee shall apply the Trust Monies as directed and specified by such
Issuer Order, subject to Section 4.10.
SECTION 11.04 WITHDRAWAL OF TRUST MONIES FOR INVESTMENT IN REPLACEMENT
ASSETS
In the event the Issuer intends to reinvest Net Proceeds of an Asset
Sale in replacement assets (the "Released Trust Monies"), such Collateral
Proceeds constituting Trust Monies may be withdrawn by the Issuer and shall be
paid by the Trustee to the Issuer upon an Issuer Order to the Trustee and upon
receipt by the Trustee of the following:
27
(a) a notice signed by the Issuer (each, a "Trust Monies Release
Notice"), which shall (i) refer to this Section 11.04, (ii) contain all
documents referred to below, (iii) describe with particularity the Released
Trust Monies, (iv) describe with particularity the Replacement Assets to be

Trustee;
(b) an Officers' Certificate certifying that (i) such Trust Monies
constitute Net Proceeds, (ii) the release of the Released Trust Monies complies
with the terms and conditions of this Indenture, (iii) there is no Default or
Event of Default in effect or continuing on the date thereof, (iv) the release
of the Released Trust Monies will not result in a Default or Event of Default
hereunder and (v) all conditions precedent to such release have been complied
with;
(c) all documentation required under the TIA (including, without
limitation, TIA Section 314(d));
(d) all documentation necessary to subject such Replacement Assets to
a valid Lien and security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens including,
but without limitation, under the New Credit Facility) in favor of the Trustee
for the benefit of the Holders pursuant to the Collateral Documents, including,
without limitation, all instruments, agreements, Opinions of Counsel,
certificates and other documents required by Section 10.01; and
(e) an Opinion of Counsel stating:
(i) that the documents that have been or are therewith (i)
delivered to the Trustee in connection with an investment in
replacement assets conform to the requirements of this Indenture and
that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such
application of Trust Monies have been complied with; and to the extent
that such replacement assets were acquired with Net Proceeds from the
sale of Collateral, the relevant Collateral Documents create a valid,
binding and enforceable Lien on and security interest in such
replacement assets in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the
Holders subject only to Permitted Liens including, but without
limitation, under the New Credit Facility and, to the extent that a
security interest in any such replacement assets may be perfected under
the relevant Uniform Commercial Code, a perfected security interest in
such property.
28
Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions, the Trustee shall apply
the Released Trust Monies as directed and specified by the Issuer.
SECTION 11.05 INVESTMENT OF TRUST MONIES
So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, all or any part of any Trust Monies held by the Trustee shall from
time to time be invested or reinvested by the Trustee in any Cash Equivalents
pursuant to an Issuer Order, which shall specify the Cash Equivalents in which
such Trust Monies shall be invested and shall certify that such investments
constitute Cash Equivalents and the Trustee shall sell any such Cash Equivalent
only upon receipt of an Issuer Order specifying the particular Cash Equivalent
to be sold. So long as no Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing,
any interest or dividends accrued, earned or paid on such Cash Equivalents (in
excess of any accrued interest or dividends paid at the time of purchase) that
may be received by the Trustee shall be forthwith paid to the Issuer.
Such Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Trustee as a part of the
Collateral, subject to the same provisions hereof as the cash used by it to
purchase such Cash Equivalents.
The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting
from such investments or sales except only for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct in complying with this
Section 11.05.
(m) Section 13.02 of the Indenture is hereby amended by amending and

MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 3.01. EFFECTIVENES. This Supplemental Indenture shall become
effective upon its execution and delivery by the Issuer, Holdings and the

have been made when paid by the
30
deposit with the Depositary (as defined in the Consent Solicitation), which will
act as the agent for the tendering and consenting Holders and transmit such
payment to such Holders. The Indenture will remain in effect without giving
effect to the Amendments until the execution and delivery of the new secured

Upon the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture by the Issuer,
Holdings and the Trustee, the Indenture shall be supplemented in accordance
herewith, and this Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for

required under the Trust Indenture Act to be part of and govern any provision of
this Supplemental Indenture, the provision of the Trust Indenture Act shall
control. If any provision of this Supplemental Indenture modifies or excludes
any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded,
