If an Officer whose signature is on a Note or a Guarantee, as the case may be, was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office or position at the time the

29

Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

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

Section 2.05                                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 the Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA §312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar or Paying Agent, the Company shall furnish annually on each May 15 and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee.

Section 2.07                                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 wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note and each of the Guarantors shall execute a Guarantee thereon if the Trustee’s requirements are met.  If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity, sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee, to protect the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Company and the Trustee may charge such Holder for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in replacing a Note, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel.  Every replacement Note shall constitute an additional obligation of the Company and every replacement Guarantee shall constitute an additional obligation of the Guarantors.

Section 2.08                                Outstanding Notes.  Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those cancelled by it or a Registrar, those delivered to it or a Registrar for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding.  Subject to Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or any of its Affiliates holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.  A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07.

If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date, as applicable, the Paying Agent holds U.S. Legal Tender, U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof sufficient to pay all of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

If on any date which is no earlier than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date, the Company has irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee U.S. Legal Tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient to pay all of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on the Notes payable on such Redemption Date, together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof on such Redemption Date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then and after the date of such deposit such Notes shall be deemed to be not outstanding for purposes of determining whether

32

the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice which requires the consent of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding.

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

Section 2.10                                [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.11                                Cancellation.  The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and shall dispose all cancelled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures.  Subject to Section 2.07, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that the Company has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.  Notes redeemed shall be cancelled.  However, if the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11.

Section 2.12                                Defaulted Interest.  The Company will pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate of interest then borne by the Notes.  The Company shall, to the extent lawful, pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate of interest then borne by the Notes, as applicable.  Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.01(a) shall be paid to Holders as of the regular record date

33

for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid.

Section 2.13                                CUSIP Numbers.  The Company in issuing the Notes may use one or more “CUSIP” and/or “ISIN” numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP and/or “ISIN” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or “ISIN” number.

Section 2.14                                Deposit of Moneys.  Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, and Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Company shall have deposited with each Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, and Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits each Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, and Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, as the case may be.

Section 2.15                                Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities.  Except as indicated below in this Section 2.15, the Notes shall be represented only by Global Securities.  The Global Securities shall be deposited with a Depositary for such Notes or its custodian (initially, the Trustee) (and shall be registered in the name of such Depositary or its nominee).  The Depositary for the Notes shall be DTC unless the Company appoints a successor Depositary by delivery of a Company Order to the Trustee specifying such successor Depositary.

All payments on a Global Security will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and Holder of such Global Security.  In each case, the Company will be fully discharged by payment to or to the order of such Depositary from any responsibility or liability in respect of each amount so paid.  Upon receipt of any such payment in respect of a Global Security, DTC will credit Participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global Security as shown on the records of DTC.

Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Physical Notes, in accordance with this Section 2.15, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the relevant Depositary or nominee thereof to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor of Depositary or a nominee of such successor.

Owners of beneficial interests in Global Securities shall be entitled or required, as the case may be, but only under the circumstances described in this Section 2.15, to receive physical delivery of Physical Notes.

Interests in a Global Security shall be exchangeable or transferable, as the case may be,

34

for Physical Notes if (i) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security, or DTC ceases to be a “Clearing Agency” registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect thereto and the owner of a beneficial interest therein requests such exchange or transfer.  Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in the preceding sentence, the Company shall cause the appropriate Physical Notes to be delivered to the owners of beneficial interests in the Global Securities or the Participants in DTC or Euroclear and Clearstream through which such owners hold their beneficial interest.  Physical Notes shall be exchangeable or transferable for interests in other Physical Notes as described herein.

(i)                  General.  A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than DTC or a nominee thereof or a successor to DTC or its nominee, and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that this clause (i) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security.  No transfer of a Note to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Notes unless and until such Note has been registered in the name of such Person.  Nothing in this Section 2.16(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security effected in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.16(a).

(v)              Exchanges of Global Security for Non-Global Security.  In the event that a Global Security or any portion thereof is exchanged for securities other than Global Securities, such other securities may in turn be exchanged (on transfer or otherwise) for Notes that are not Global Securities or for beneficial interests in a Global Security (if any is then outstanding) only in accordance with such procedures, which shall be substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (i) through (iv) above and (vi) below (including the certification requirements intended to insure that transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests in a Global Security comply with Rule 144A, Rule 144 or Regulation S, as the case may be) and any Applicable Procedures, as may be from time to time adopted by the Company and the Trustee.

(b)                                 [Reserved].

(c)                                  Global Securities.  The provisions of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) below shall apply only to Global Securities;

(ii)               Transfer to Persons Other than Depositary.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture or the Notes, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than the appropriate Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (A) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security, or DTC ceases to be a Clearing

37

Agency registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and a successor to DTC is not appointed by the Company or (B) in the case of any Global Security, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect thereto and the owner of a beneficial interest therein requests such exchange or transfer.  Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (A) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part and any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause (B) above may be exchanged in whole or from time to time in part as directed by DTC.  Any Security issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security, provided that any such Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the appropriate Depositary or a nominee thereof shall not be a Global Security.

(iii)            Global Security to Physical Note.  Physical Notes issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be issued in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, and shall have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the appropriate Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends required hereunder.  Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the appropriate Depositary to the Registrar.  With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or if the Trustee is acting as custodian for DTC or its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced, by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Authenticating Agent.  Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the order of the appropriate Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(iv)           In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (ii) above, the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Physical Notes in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons.

(v)              No Rights of Agent Members in Global Security.  No Agent Member of any Depositary nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act (including Euroclear and Clearstream and account Holders and Participants therein) shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security, or under any Global Security, and the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the applicable Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, their respective Agent Members and any other person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation

38

of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(vi)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, all Global Securities shall be governed by the relevant Applicable Procedures.

(b)                                 Other Transfers.  If a Holder proposes to transfer an Initial Note pursuant to any exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act other than as provided for above, the Registrar shall only register such transfer or exchange if such transferor delivers to the Registrar and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and the terms of this Indenture; provided that the Company may, based upon the opinion of its counsel, instruct the Registrar by a Company Order not to register such transfer in any case where the proposed transferee is not a QIB, an Institutional Accredited Investor or a non-U.S. Person.

(c)                                  General.  By its acceptance of any Note bearing legends, each- Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture and in the legends and agrees that it will transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture.

The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.16 or this Section 2.17 for a period of two years, after which time such letters, notices and other written communications shall at the written request of the Company be delivered to the Company.  The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable prior written notice to the Registrar.

Section 2.18                              Issuance of Additional Notes.  The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have substantially identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price, amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date applicable thereto or upon a registration default as provided under a registration rights agreement related thereto (and, if such Additional Notes shall be issued in the form of Exchange Notes, other than with respect to transfer restrictions); provided that such issuance is not prohibited by Section 4.12.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of its Board of Managers (or a duly appointed committee thereof) and in an Officers’ Certificate, a

39

copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

Section 3.01                              Notices to Trustee.  If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes it shall notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of the Redemption Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed.  Such notice must be given at least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date, but shall not be given more than 60 days before such Redemption Date.  Any such notice may be cancelled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder and shall thereby be void and of no effect.

Section 3.02                              Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed.  If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection of such Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such Notes are listed or, if such Notes are not listed on a national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.

Section 3.03                              Notice of Redemption.  At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption by first- class mail to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, with a copy to the Trustee, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, in each case in accordance with this Indenture.  At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 40 days prior to the Redemption Date (which may be waived by the Trustee to a shorter notice period to the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice.  Each notice for redemption shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(1)                                  the Redemption Date;

(2)                                  the redemption price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to be paid (the “Redemption Price”);

40

(3)                                  the paragraph of the Notes, pursuant to which the Notes are being redeemed;

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

(5)                                  that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price;

(6)                                  that, unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment, interest, if any, on Notes called for redemption shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed;

(7)                                  that, if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed;

(8)                                  that, if less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Notes and the aggregate principal amount (or portion thereof) of such Notes to be redeemed, to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be outstanding after such partial redemption; and

(9)                                  whether the redemption is conditioned on any events and what such conditions are.

If one or more conditions specified with respect to a redemption are not satisfied or waived, the Redemption Date shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company shall give notice of such non-occurrence to the Holders of the applicable Notes and to the Trustee.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such rule, laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of Notes.

Section 3.04                              Effect of Notice of Redemption.  Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the Redemption Price.  Upon surrender to the Trustee or Paying Agent, such Notes called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price, but installments of interest, the maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date, shall be payable to Holders of record at the close of business on the relevant record dates referred to in the Notes.  Interest shall accrue on or after the Redemption Date and shall be payable only if the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price.

Section 3.05                              Deposit of Redemption Price.  On or before the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the

41

Redemption Price of all Notes to be redeemed on that date.  The Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any U.S. Legal Tender so deposited that is not required for that purpose, except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Seven.

Unless the Company fails to comply with the preceding paragraph and defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price, interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on and after the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment.

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

(a)           The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of related transactions with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each an “Affiliate Transaction”), other than (x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under paragraph (b) below and (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those terms that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary and an unrelated Person.  The Board of Managers of the Company or the Board of Managers of the relevant Restricted Subsidiary must approve each Affiliate Transaction to which they are a party that involves aggregate payments or other property with a Fair Market Value in excess of $25.0 million.  This approval must be evidenced by a Board Resolution that states that the applicable Board of Managers has determined that the transaction complies with the foregoing provisions.  If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company enters into an Affiliate Transaction that involves an aggregate Fair Market Value of more than $50.0 million, then prior to the consummation of the Affiliate Transaction, the parties to such Affiliate Transaction must obtain a favorable opinion as to the fairness of such transaction or series of related transactions to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from an Independent Financial Advisor and file the same with the Trustee.

(b)           The restrictions set forth in clause (a) shall not apply to (i) reasonable fees and compensation paid to and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, manager, employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Managers or senior management; (ii) transactions exclusively between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries, provided such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture; (iii) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby or in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original agreement; (iv) Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments made in compliance with Section 4.03; (v) transactions between or among any of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and any Securitization Entity in connection with a

47

Qualified Securitization Transaction, in each case provided that such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture; (vi) transactions with distributors or other purchases or sales of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture which when taken together are fair to the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries as applicable, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Managers of the Company or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party and (vii) Guarantees by the Company or a Guarantor incurred in accordance with clause (xxii) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness.

Section 4.12                               Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness.  The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for payment of (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness); provided, however, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or as a consequence of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) in each case if on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company is greater than 2.0 to 1.0.

Section 4.13                               Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.  The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock; (b) make loans or advances or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or (c) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:  (1) applicable law, rules, regulations and/or orders; (2)  this Indenture (including, without limitation, any Liens permitted hereunder); (3) customary non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease governing a leasehold interest of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; (4) any agreements existing at the time of any merger or consolidation with any Person, acquisition of any Person or the properties or assets of such Person (including agreements governing Acquired Indebtedness), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person merged or consolidated with or so acquired or any Subsidiary of such Person; (5) agreements existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on such date and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof, provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive (as determined by the Board of Managers of the Company in their reasonable and good faith judgment) in any material respect, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and

48

other payment restrictions than those contained in such agreements or instruments as in effect on the Issue Date; (6) restrictions imposed by any agreement to sell assets or Capital Stock permitted under this Indenture to any Person pending the closing of such sale; (7) any agreement or instrument governing Capital Stock of any Person that is acquired; (8) Indebtedness or other contractual requirements of a Securitization Entity in connection with a Qualified Securitization Transaction; provided that such restrictions apply only to such Securitization Entity; (9) Liens incurred in accordance with the covenant described under Section 4.18; (10) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; (11) the Credit Facilities; (12) any restriction under an agreement governing Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary permitted under Section 4.12; (13) customary restrictions in Capitalized Lease Obligations, security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such restrictions restrict the transfer of the property subject to such Capitalized Lease Obligations, security agreements or mortgages; (14) customary provisions in joint venture agreements and other similar agreements (in each case relating solely to the respective joint venture or similar entity or the equity interests therein) entered into in the ordinary course of business; (15) contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, not relating to Indebtedness, and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, detract from the value of property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; and (16) an agreement governing Indebtedness incurred to Refinance the Indebtedness issued, assumed or incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (2), (4), (5), (8), (11), (12) or (13) above; provided, however, that the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in any such Indebtedness are no less favorable to the Company in any material respect as determined by the Board of Managers of the Company in their reasonable and good faith judgment than the provisions relating to such encumbrance or restriction contained in agreements referred to in such clause (2), (4), (5), (8), (11), (12) or (13).

(6)           that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(7)           that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided, however, that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; and

(8)           the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control.

(d)                                On or before the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof (in minimum principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 2.14 cash sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all Notes to be purchased and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company.  Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the monies specified in clause (ii) above and a copy of the Officers’ Certificate specified in clause (iii) above, the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in

50

an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, out of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent in accordance with the preceding sentence.  The Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or cause to be transferred by book-entry to such Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Upon the payment of the purchase price for the Notes accepted for purchase, the Trustee shall return the Notes purchased to the Company for cancellation.  Any monies remaining after the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be returned within three Business Days by the Trustee to the Company except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Seven.  For purposes of this Section 4.14, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent for the Notes.

(e)                                  The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such rule, laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer.  To the extent the provisions of any securities laws and regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture relating to a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations relating to such Change of Control Offer by virtue thereof.

(f)                                    The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture with respect to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Section 4.15                               Limitation on Asset Sales.

(a)                                  The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless (i) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Managers; and (ii) at least 75% (or, in the case of an Asset Sale consisting of assets used or useful in a business similar or related to the Pigments business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, 65%) of the consideration received by the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary from such Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, and is received at the time of the Asset Sale (which shall be deemed to include other consideration converted to cash or Cash Equivalents within 90 days of such Asset Sale).

(b)                                 For the purposes of paragraph (a) above, the amount of any liabilities shown on the most recent applicable balance sheet of the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets will be deemed to be cash for purposes of such provision.

51

(c)                                  Upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company may apply, or cause such applicable Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 415 days of having received the Net Cash Proceeds:

(i)      to prepay any Senior Debt of the Company or a Guarantor or any Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor and, in the case of any such Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility, effect a permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility, and/or

(ii)     to make an investment in or expenditures for properties and assets (including Capital Stock of any entity) that replace the properties and assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in properties and assets (including Capital Stock of any entity) that will be used in the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as existing on the Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto (“Replacement Assets”) and/or

(iii)    make an acquisition of all of the capital stock or assets of any Person or division conducting a business reasonably related to that of the Company or its Subsidiaries.  On the 416th day after an Asset Sale or any earlier date, if any, on which the Board of Managers of the Company or of the applicable Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the above provisions of this clause (c) (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied or contractually committed to be applied (and to the extent not subsequently applied, the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date related thereto shall be deemed to be the date of termination of such contractual commitment or any earlier date, if any, on which the Board of Managers of the Company or the board of the applicable Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with such contractual commitment) on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted by the above provisions of this clause (c) (the “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer to purchase (or repay, prepay or redeem, as the case may be) (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) that is not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders and all holders of Indebtedness that is equal in right of payment with the Notes and contains provisions requiring that an offer to purchase such other Indebtedness be made with the proceeds of the Asset Sale, on a pro rata basis, the maximum principal amount of Notes and other Indebtedness that may be purchased with the Net Proceeds Offer Amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to make a Net Proceeds Offer shall be suspended until such time as the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds Offer Amount is equal to or exceeds $75 million.  The offer price in any Net Proceeds Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal value of the Notes to be purchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase.  The following events will be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale and the Net Cash Proceeds for such Asset Sale must be applied in accordance with this Section 4.15: in the event any non-cash consideration

52

received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), or in the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Section 5.01 and as a result thereof the Company is no longer an obligor on the Notes, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.15, and shall comply with the provisions of this covenant with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale.  In addition, the Fair Market Value of such properties and assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this Section 4.15.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraphs, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such paragraphs to the extent (i) at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Replacement Assets and (ii) such Asset Sale is for Fair Market Value; provided, however, that any consideration that does not constitute Replacement Assets that is received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale permitted under this paragraph shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds and will be subject to the provisions described in the preceding paragraphs.

(e)                                  Each notice of a Net Proceeds Offer pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall be mailed, by first-class mail, by the Company to Holders of Notes at their last registered address not more than 30 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee.  The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer and shall state the following terms:

(1)           that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to Section 4.15 of this Indenture, that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment; provided, however, that if the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in a Net Proceeds Offer plus accrued interest at the expiration of such offer exceeds the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds Offer, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof shall be purchased) and that the Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days or such longer periods as may be required by law;

(2)           the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date (which shall be not less than 30 nor more than 45 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date and which shall be at least five Business Days after the Trustee receives notice thereof from the Company);

53

(3)           that any Note not tendered will continue to accrue interest;

(4)           that, unless the Company defaults in making payment therefor, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(5)           that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(6)           that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; and

(7)           that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes in a principal amount equal to the unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided, however, that each new Note issued shall be in an original principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

On or before the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment Notes or portions thereof (in minimum principal amount of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent, in accordance with Section 2.14, U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, of all Notes to be purchased and (iii) deliver to the Trustee Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Company.  Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the monies specified in clause (ii) above and a copy of the Officers’ Certificate specified in clause (iii) above, the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, out of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent in accordance with the preceding sentence.  The Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to such Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.  Upon the payment of the purchase price for the Notes accepted for purchase, the Trustee shall cancel such Notes pursuant to Section 2.11 of this Indenture.  Any monies remaining after the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer shall be returned within three Business Days by the Trustee to the Company except with respect to monies owed as obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Article Seven.  For purposes of this Section 4.15, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent for the Notes.

To the extent the amount of Notes tendered pursuant to any Net Proceeds Offer is less than the amount of Net Cash Proceeds subject to such Net Proceeds Offer, the Company may use

54

any remaining portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to fund the repurchase of tendered Notes for general corporate purposes and such Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset to zero.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such rule, laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer.  To the extent the provisions of any securities laws and regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture relating to a Net Proceeds Offer, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations relating to such Net Proceeds Offer by virtue thereof.

Section 4.16           [Reserved].

Section 4.17           Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.  The Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock (other than to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) or permit any Person (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) to own any Preferred Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may issue Preferred Stock to equity holders of such Person in exchange for equity interests if after such issuance such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company.

Section 4.18           Limitation on Liens.  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create, incur, or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Liens of any kind upon any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary now owned or hereafter acquired, which secures Subordinated Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is incurred in accordance with this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligation is no longer secured by a Lien; provided that any such Lien shall be subordinated to the Lien granted to the Holders in the same collateral as that securing such Lien to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes.

Section 4.19           Limitation of Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries.  The Company will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, by way of the pledge of any intercompany note or otherwise, to assume, guarantee or in any other manner become liable with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary (other than (A) Indebtedness under Commodity Agreements and Currency Agreements in reliance on clause (v) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness, (B) Interest Swap Obligations incurred in reliance on clause (iv) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness, (C) any guarantee by a Foreign Subsidiary of Indebtedness of another Foreign Subsidiary permitted under Section 4.12), or (D) any guarantee of Acquired Indebtedness of a person by any Subsidiary of such person which guarantee constitutes Acquired Indebtedness, unless, in any such case (a) such Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, providing a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, (b) if any such assumption, guarantee or other liability by such Restricted Subsidiary is provided in respect of Senior

55

Indebtedness, then the guarantee or other instrument provided by such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Senior Indebtedness shall be pari passu in right of payment with the Guarantees and (c) any such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary that is provided in respect of Subordinated Indebtedness shall be subordinated to the Guarantees in a manner substantially similar to the manner in which such Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated.

Section 4.21                               Covenant Termination.  After such time as (i) the Notes have been assigned an Investment Grade Rating by either Rating Agency (the “Investment Grade Rating Date”) and (ii) no Default or Event of Default under this Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, and notwithstanding that the Notes may later cease to have an Investment Grade Rating by any Rating Agency, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall no longer be subject to the following sections:  Section 4.03, Section 4.11, Section 4.12, Section 4.13, Section 4.15, Section 4.17, Section 4.19, Section 4.20 and Section 5.01(a)(iii) or (c)(iii).  Notice of such covenant termination shall be provided in writing to the Trustee.

(1)           the failure to pay interest on any Notes when the same becomes due and payable and such Default continues for a period of 30 days;

(2)           the failure to pay principal on any Notes, when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment when due to purchase the Notes tendered pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Net Proceeds Offer);

(3)           the failure of the Company or any Guarantor to comply with any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, which default continues for a period of 60 days after the Company receives a written notice specifying the default (or 120 days after such a notice in the event of a Default under Section 4.09) (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (including any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Indenture) (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.01, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

(4)           the occurrence of any default under any agreement governing Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if that default:  (A) is caused by the failure to pay at final maturity the principal amount of any Indebtedness after giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions of time for payment of such Indebtedness; or (B) results in the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Indebtedness, and in each case if the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated aggregates $100.0 million or more at any time, and in each case such Indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 30 days of such final maturity or acceleration;

(5)           the failure of the Company or any of the Guarantors to pay or otherwise discharge or stay one or more judgments in an aggregate amount exceeding $100.0 million (which are not covered by indemnities or third party insurance as to which the Person giving such indemnity or such insurer has not disclaimed coverage) for a period of 60 days after such judgments become final and non-appealable;

58

(6)           the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary which is also a Significant Subsidiary (A) commences a voluntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to itself, (B) consents to the entry of a judgment, decree or order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, (C) consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for substantially all of its property, (D) consents to or acquiesces in the institution of a bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding against it or (E) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

(7)           a court of competent jurisdiction enters a judgment, decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary which is also a Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, which shall (A) approve as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition in respect of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, (B) appoint a custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for substantially all of its property or (C) order the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs; and such judgment, decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(8)           the failure of any Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary of the Company to be in full force and effect (other than as provided in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee and this Indenture) or any of the Guarantors denies its liability under its Guarantee.

Section 6.02                               Acceleration.

(a)           If an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(6) or (7) occurs with respect to the Company and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes (including any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Indenture) will become immediately due and payable without further action or notice.  If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes (including any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Indenture) may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Notes to be due and payable by notice in writing (the “Acceleration Notice”) to the Company and the Trustee, which notice must also specify that it is a “notice of acceleration.”

(b)                                 At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in Section 6.02(a), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes (including any Additional Notes) may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

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

(2)           if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

59

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

(4)           if the Company has paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances; or

(5)           in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(6) or (7), the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

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, premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid 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.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Noteholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.  All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04                               Waiver of Past Defaults.  Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including the aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Indenture) by notice to the Trustee may waive any existing Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Note as specified in clauses (1) and (2) of Section 6.01; provided that a Default or Event of Default due to failure to comply with Section 4.09 shall be deemed to be cured upon filing by the Company (or, if applicable, Huntsman Corporation) of the reports in compliance with Section 4.09.

Section 6.05                               Control by Majority.  Subject to Section 2.09, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it, including, without limitation, any remedies provided for in Section 6.03.  Subject to Section 7.01, however, the Trustee may, in its discretion, refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with any law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders) or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee, in its discretion, that is not inconsistent with

60

such direction.

Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification by the Holders satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action

Section 6.06                               Limitation on Suits.  A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1)           the Holder gives to the Trustee notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(2)           Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3)           such Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such request which is satisfactory to the Trustee;

(4)           the Trustee does not comply with the request within 45 days after receipt of the request and the offer of satisfactory indemnity or security; and

(5)           during such 45-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction which, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with the request.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder.

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 and interest on a Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08                               Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in clause (1) or (2) 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 Company or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate set forth in the Notes 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, its agents and counsel.

61

Section 6.09                               Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, taxes, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, any of their respective creditors or any of their respective property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, taxes, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.  The Company’s payment obligations under this Section 6.09 shall be secured in accordance with the provisions of 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.

Section 6.10                               Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article Six, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First:  to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Sections 6.09 and 7.07;

Second:  if the Holders are forced to proceed against the Company directly without the Trustee, to Holders for their collection costs;

Third:  to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, 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, respectively; and

Fourth:  to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, as their interests may appear, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

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

Section 6.11                               Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This

62

Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.06 or 6.07.

Section 6.12                               Expenses and Services After an Event of Default.  When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default described in this Article VI, the expenses and compensation for services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

Section 7.01                               Duties of Trustee.

(a)                                  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise thereof as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.

(b)                                 Except during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default:

(e)           The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the

64

(f)            The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection, and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability with respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(j)            The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

(k)           The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(l)            The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an incumbency certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which incumbency certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an incumbency certificate, including any Person as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

Section 7.03          Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, any Restricted or Unrestricted Subsidiary, or their respective Affiliates, with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any Agent may do the same with like rights.  However, the

65

Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

Section 7.04           Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, and it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or the Notes other than the certificate of authentication.

Section 7.05           Notice of Default.  If a Default or an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default, the Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the uncured Default or Event of Default on the later of (i) 60 days after such Default or Event of Default occurs or (ii) 10 days after the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default.  Except in the case of a Default or an Event of Default in the payment of interest or principal of, premium or interest on, any Note, including an accelerated payment and the failure to make payment on the Change of Control Payment Date pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or on a Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer and, except in the case of a failure to comply with Article Five, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its Responsible Officer(s) in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.  The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of a Default or Event of Default other than (i) any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 6.01(1) or 6.01(2); or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Trust Officer shall have received written notification or obtained actual knowledge.  As used herein, the term “actual knowledge” means the actual fact or statement of knowing, without any duty to make any investigation with regard thereto.

Section 7.06           Reports by Trustee to Holders.  Within 60 days after April 15 of each year beginning with April 15, 2010, the Trustee shall, to the extent that any of the events described in TIA § 313(a) occurred within the previous twelve months, but not otherwise, mail to each Noteholder a brief report dated as of such date that complies with TIA § 313(a).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b) and 313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed.

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee if the Notes become listed on any stock exchange, and if the Notes are so listed, the Trustee shall comply with TIA § 313(d).

Section 7.07           Compensation and Indemnity.  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Trustee.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in connection with the performance of its duties and the discharge of its obligations under this Indenture.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

66

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors for, and hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense including taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by them except for such actions to the extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Company, and Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Trustee’s rights, powers or duties hereunder.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against the Trustee or any of its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Company to so notify the Trustee shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.  The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense at the Company’s expense.  The Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors subject to the claim may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee and its agents, employees, officers, stockholders and directors subject to the claim in connection with such defense as reasonably determined by the Trustee; provided, further, that, unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing, the Company shall not be liable to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel at any given time located within one particular jurisdiction.  The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

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

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or (7) occurs, such expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration and shall be paid to the extent allowed under any Bankruptcy Law.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 7.08           Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing at least 30 days in advance.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s consent.  A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only with the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section.  The Company may

67

remove the Trustee if:

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

(2)           the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(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 Company 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 Company.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Promptly after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07, 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.  A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

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

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

Section 7.09           Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall, if such resulting, surviving or transferee corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee; provided, however, that such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Seven.

Section 7.10           Eligibility; Disqualification.  This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirement of TIA §§ 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(2).  The Trustee (or in the case of a

68

corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company) shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.  In addition, if the Trustee is a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of such bank holding company, shall meet the capital requirements of TIA § 310(a)(2).  The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other notes, or certificates of interest or participation in other notes, of the Company are outstanding, if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.  The provisions of TIA § 310 shall apply to the Company and any other obligor of the Notes.

Section 7.11           Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company.  The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), 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 therein.  The provisions of TIA § 311 shall apply to the Company and any other obligor of the Notes.

In addition, at the Company’s option, either (a) the Company shall be deemed to have been Discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”) after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied (except for the obligations of the Company under Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 7.01, 7.02, 7.07 and this Section 8.01) or (b) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall cease to be under any obligation to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 4.03, 4.09 and 4.11 through 4.20 and Section 5.01 and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes (“Covenant Defeasance”) after the applicable conditions set forth below have been satisfied:

(1)           the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee in trust, for the benefit of the Holders cash in U.S. Dollars or non-callable U.S. government obligations, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on an applicable redemption date;

(2)           in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that

(i)    the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

(ii)   since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law,

in either case, to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; provided, however, such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required if all the Notes will become due and payable on the Maturity Date within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee;

(3)           in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States of America reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been

70

the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4)           no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than any Default arising from the substantially contemporaneous incurrence of Indebtedness to fund the deposit described above in clause (1));

(5)           such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture (other than any Default arising from the substantially contemporaneous incurrence of Indebtedness to fund the deposit described above in clause (1)) or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(6)           the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Notes over any other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Company or others;

(7)           the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

(8)           the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, to the effect that either (i) the Company has assigned all its ownership interest in the trust funds to the Trustee or (ii) the Trustee has a valid perfected security interest in the trust funds.

Section 8.02           Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee.  Subject to Section 8.05, after (i) the conditions of Section 8.01, have been satisfied and (ii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent referred to in clause (i) above relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee upon written request of the Company shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in this Article Eight.

Section 8.03           Application of Trust Money.  The Trustee shall hold in trust Funds deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01.  It shall apply the Funds through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of all the principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.

Section 8.04           Repayment to the Company.  The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company any Funds held by them for the payment of all the principal of, or

71

premium, if any, and interest that remains unclaimed for one year; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent may, at the expense of the Company, cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mailed to each Holder, notice that such Funds remain unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such Funds then remaining will be repaid to the Company.  After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to the Funds must look to the Company for payment as general unsecured creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person and all liability of the Trustee and Paying Agent with respect to such Funds shall cease.

Section 8.05           Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Funds by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such Funds in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal, or premium, if any, and interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from Funds held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

Section 9.01           Without Consent of Holders.  The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, the Guarantors and the Trustee, together, may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees without the consent of any Holders to:

(1)           to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2)           provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders of Notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets;

(3)           provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(4)           to add any person as a Guarantor of the Notes or secure the Notes or the Guarantees;

(5)           to comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or

(6)           to make any change that would provide any additional benefit or rights to the Holders or that does not adversely affect in any material respect the legal

72

rights of any Noteholders hereunder; provided that the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate, each stating that such amendment or supplement complies with the provisions of this Section 9.01.

Section 9.02           With Consent of Holders.  Subject to Section 6.07, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, the Guarantors and the Trustee, together, with the written consent (including any electronic communication thereof by a Depositary) of the Holder or Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including the aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes subsequently issued under this Indenture) may make all other modifications, waivers and amendments of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, except that, without the consent of each Holder of Notes affected thereby, no amendment and waiver may, directly or indirectly:

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

(2)           reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Notes;

(3)           reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or repurchase, or reduce the redemption or repurchase price thereof for the Notes;

(4)           make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes and this Indenture;

(5)           make any change in provisions of this Indenture or the Notes relating to the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Notes on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default;

(6)           after a Change of Control has occurred, amend, change or modify any provision of this Indenture that would amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Company to make and complete a Change of Control Offer with respect to such Change of Control or, after an Asset Sale has occurred, amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Company to make and complete a Net Proceeds Offer with respect to such Asset Sale; or

(7)           release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

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

73

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective (as provided in Section 9.04), the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 9.03           Compliance with TIA.  Every amendment, waiver or supplement of this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04           Revocation and Effect of Consents.  Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note.  Subject to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of his Note by notice to the Trustee or the Company received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver (at which time such amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective).

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix such record date as it may select for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver.  If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (8) of Section 9.02, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as a consenting Holder’s Note; provided, however, that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

Section 9.05           Notation on or Exchange of Notes.  If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee.  The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder.  Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.

Section 9.06           Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc.  The Trustee shall execute any

74

amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to and adopted in accordance with this Article Nine; provided, however, that the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture.  The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate each stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.  Such Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee.

ARTICLE XI
GUARANTEE OF NOTES

Section 11.01         Unconditional Guarantee.  Subject to the provisions of this Article Eleven, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (such guarantees to be referred to herein as the “Guarantee”) to each Holder of a Note (including any Additional Notes upon issuance in accordance with Section 2.18) authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company or any other Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (and any Additional Interest payable thereon) shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption at the option of Holders pursuant to the provisions of the Notes relating thereto, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company or the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof) and all other obligations shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.  Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Company to the Holders under this Indenture or under the Notes, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately.  An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under this Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that 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 Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or

75

not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Note, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.  Each of the Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and this Guarantee.  This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.  If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or to any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  Each Guarantor further agrees 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 Eleven, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding 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 Six hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee.

No stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator, past, present or future, or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any personal liability under this Guarantee by reason of his, her or its status as such stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator.

Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount pro rata, based on the net assets of each Guarantor, determined in accordance with GAAP.

Section 11.02         Limitations on Guarantees.  The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

Section 11.03         Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.  To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, shall be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.  Such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized Officer of each Guarantor.  The validity and enforceability of any Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Note.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall

76

remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee.

If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which such Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

Section 11.04        Release of a Guarantor.

(a)           If no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing, the obligations of any Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged when any of the following occurs:

(1)           a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (including, without limitation, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise), directly or indirectly, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor to any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition is made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

(2)           a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition (including, without limitation, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise), directly or indirectly, of Capital Stock of such Guarantor to any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or an issuance by such Guarantor of its Capital Stock, in each case as a result of which such Guarantor ceases to be a majority-owned Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such transaction is made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

(3)           such Guarantor is unconditionally released and discharged from its liability with respect to Indebtedness in connection with which such Guarantee was executed pursuant to clause (1) of the covenant described under the Section 4.19 hereof;

(4)           the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; or

(5)           the occurrence of Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with this Indenture.

(b)           In connection with any transaction set forth Section 11.04(a) above, the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 11.04; provided, however, that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officers’ Certificates of the

77

Company.

The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Notes and under this Article Eleven.

Section 11.05         Waiver of Subrogation.  Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture and such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of Notes under the Notes, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in connection with such agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.  Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.05 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 11.06         Immediate Payment.  Each Guarantor agrees to make immediate payment to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all Obligations owing or payable to the respective Holders upon receipt of a demand for payment therefor by the Trustee to such Guarantor in writing.

Section 11.07         No Set-Off.  Each payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such Obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set-off, defense, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 11.08         Obligations Absolute.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts expressed to be owing or payable by each Guarantor hereunder which may not be recoverable from such Guarantor on the basis of a Guarantee shall be recoverable from such Guarantor as a primary obligor and principal debtor in respect thereof.

78

Section 11.09        Obligations Continuing.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all the obligations have been paid and satisfied in full.

Section 11.10        Obligations Not Reduced.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged solely by the payment of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article Eight be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Notes or this Indenture.

Section 11.11        Obligations Reinstated.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of a Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.  If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Company is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided herein.

Section 11.12        Obligations Not Affected.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by any Guarantor or any of the Holders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against any Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the Holders or otherwise, including, without limitation:

(a)           any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Company or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding involving or affecting the Company or any other Person;

(b)           any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other document or instrument;

(c)           any failure of the Company, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, or to give notice thereof to a Guarantor;

(d)           the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against the Company or any other Person

79

or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy;

(e)           the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;

(f)            any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Notes, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Notes or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes;

(g)           any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of the Company or a Guarantor;

(h)           any merger or amalgamation of the Company or a Guarantor with any Person or Persons;

(i)            the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Obligations or the obligations of a Guarantor under its Guarantee; and

(j)            any other circumstance, (other than release of the Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.04 and other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes or of a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee hereunder.

Section 11.13        Waiver.  Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of any Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the Holders upon the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Company, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Company or any Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

Section 11.14        No Obligation To Take Action Against the Company.  Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Obligations or against the Company or any other Person or any property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Guarantees or under this Indenture.

Section 11.15        Dealing with the Company and Others.  The Holders, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, may

80

(a)           grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;

(b)           take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Company or from perfecting security or collateral of the Company;

(c)           accept compromises or arrangements from the Company;

(d)           apply all monies at any time received from the Company or from any security upon such part of the Obligations as the Holders may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Holders may see fit; and

(e)           otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Company and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit.

Section 11.16        Default and Enforcement.  If any Guarantor fails to pay in accordance with Section 11.06 hereof, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the Guarantee of any such Guarantor and such Guarantor’s obligations thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such Guarantor the obligations.

Section 11.17        Amendment, Etc.  No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture relating to any Guarantor or consent to any departure by any Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by such Guarantor and the Trustee.

Section 11.18        Acknowledgment.  Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges communication of the terms of this Indenture and the Notes and consents to and approves of the same.

Section 11.19        Costs and Expenses.  Each Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee any and all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees) incurred by the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights under any Guarantee.

Section 11.20        No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Guarantee and under this Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Guarantor and/or the Company and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided by law.

Section 11.21        Guarantee in Addition to Other Obligations.  The obligations of each

81

Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for any other obligations to the Trustee or to any of the Holders in relation to this Indenture or the Notes and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them.

Section 11.22         Severability.  Any provision of this Article Eleven which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction unless its removal would substantially defeat the basic intent, spirit and purpose of this Indenture and this Article Eleven.

Section 11.23         Successors and Assigns.  Unless released in accordance with this Indenture, each Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Guarantor and the Trustee and the other Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Guarantor may assign any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
