THE NOTES

Section 2.01    Form and Dating.

(a)    General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Note will be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or any Collateral Document to the contrary, the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued, authenticated and delivered hereunder may not exceed $35,000,000.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

(b)    Definitive Notes. Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

Section 2.02    Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual, facsimile or other electronic signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.

A Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee will, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, (a) authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

32

Section 2.03    Registrar and Paying Agent.

The U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the names and addresses of the Holders, of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange, and of the principal amounts (and stated interest) owing to each Holder under the Notes. The entries in the register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall treat each person whose name is record in the register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Holder hereunder for all purposes of this Indenture. The register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Holder, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

Section 2.04    Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, the Applicable Premium on, or interest, if any, on, the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05    Holder Lists.

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.

Section 2.06    Transfer and Exchange.

(a)    Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(e), the Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Registrar the Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. In addition, the requesting Holder must provide any additional certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 2.06(e).

“THE NOTES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (2) IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION COMPLYING WITH RULE 903 OR RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (3) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF AVAILABLE), (4) TO AN INSTITUTIONAL INVESTOR THAT IS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501 OF REGULATION D UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, (5) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANOTHER EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR (6) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN EACH CASE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS. EACH HOLDER OF THE NOTES EVIDENCED HEREBY AGREES TO THE FOREGOING TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND EACH HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER FROM IT OF THE NOTE EVIDENCED HEREBY OF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN.”

(B)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Definitive Note issued pursuant to subparagraph (a)(2) or (a)(3) of this Section 2.06 (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) will not bear the Private Placement Legend.

(c)    General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(1)    To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the Registrar’s request.

(2)    No service charge will be made to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum

35

sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.07, 4.10, and 9.04 hereof).

(3)    The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

(4)    Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no record owner of the Notes may transfer any Notes without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided however, that the Company’s consent will be deemed given with respect to a proposed transfer if no response is received within ten (10) Business Days after having received a written request from such record owner of the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.06(h)(4); provided, further, that no sale, pledge, assignment or other transfer of any Notes or any beneficial interest therein will be permitted to any Competitor (other than Affiliates of the Holders that are bona fide debt funds or fixed income investors that are engaged in making or purchasing commercial loans, notes or similar debt investments in the ordinary course of business).

(5)    All Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(6)    Neither the Registrar nor the Company will be required:

(A)    to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;

(B)    to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or

(7)    Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, the Applicable Premium and interest on, the Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(8)    The Trustee will authenticate Definitive Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.

36

(9)    All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Company and the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by facsimile, PDF or similar electronic transmission.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions of or exemptions from the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws or Section 2.06(h)(4). Nothing herein shall impose any obligation or liability upon the Trustee or Registrar in respect of any transfer of Notes of which the Trustee or Registrar has no knowledge.

Section 2.07    Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08    Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date the Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09    Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or

37

by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10    Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11    Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will destroy canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act and the customary procedures of the Trustee). Certification of the cancellation of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12    Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13    No Reissuance of Notes.

The Company may not reissue a Note that has matured, been redeemed, been purchased by the Company at the Holder’s option upon a Change of Control or otherwise been canceled, except for registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of such Note.

The Company shall deliver each of the documents, instruments and agreements and take each of the actions set forth on Schedule 4.20 within the time periods set forth on such Schedule.

Section 4.21    Certain Tax Matters

(a)    Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under this Indenture or any Collateral Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

59

(b)    The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Trustee timely reimburse them for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)    The Company shall indemnify each Secured Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Secured Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Secured Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Holder (with a copy to the Trustee), or by the Trustee on its own behalf or on behalf of a Holder, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

(e)    Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Trustee or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Holder, the termination of the Notes and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Indenture or any Collateral Document.

(f)    The Company (or any person from whom the Company is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and the Holders agree to treat the Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture as indebtedness for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes.

(g)    If any Secured Party receives a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.21 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.21), it shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Secured Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Company, upon the request of such Secured Party, shall repay to such Secured Party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Secured Party be required to pay any amount to the Company pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Secured Party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

Section 6.02    Acceleration.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.01(6) or Section 6.01(7)), then in every such case the Trustee or the Required Holders may declare the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(6) or Section 6.01(7) shall occur, the principal amount of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter provided in this Article 6, the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if the recession would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all Events of Default with respect to Notes, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

If the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their stated maturity, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including an Event of Default under Section 6.01(6) or Section 6.01(7) hereof) (each an “Acceleration Event”), the amount of principal of and premium on the Notes that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus the Applicable Premium applicable at the time of such Acceleration Event, as if such Acceleration Event were an optional redemption of the Notes accelerated or otherwise becoming due. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if an Acceleration Event occurs, the Applicable Premium applicable with respect to an optional redemption of the Notes shall also be due and payable at the time of such Acceleration Event as though the Notes had been optionally redeemed in full at the time of such Acceleration Event and shall constitute part of the Note Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Holder’s loss as a result thereof. If the Applicable Premium becomes due and payable, it shall be deemed to be principal of the Notes, and interest shall accrue on the full aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including the Applicable Premium) from and after the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, including in connection with an Event of Default under Section 6.01(6) or Section 6.01(7) hereof. The Applicable Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Holder of the Notes as the result of the acceleration of the Notes and the Company agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances

64

currently existing. The Applicable Premium shall also be payable in the event the Notes (and/or this Indenture) are satisfied, released or discharged by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other similar means. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Company expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time acceleration occurs; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Holders of the Notes and the Company giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium; and (D) the Company shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Company expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Applicable Premium to the Holders of the Notes as herein described is a material inducement to the Holders to purchase the Notes.

Section 6.03    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

The Company covenants that if:

(a)    default is made in the payment of any interest on any Notes when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(b)    default is made in the payment of principal of any Notes at the Stated Maturity thereof,

then, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and any overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in the Notes, and, in addition thereto, 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.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or deemed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

65

Section 6.04    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

74

(b)    The Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

(c)    No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either: (x) on the date of such deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); or (y) with respect to Events of Default described in Section 6.01(6) and Section 6.01(7) or other bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization-related Events of Default, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit;

78

(e)    The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating 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; and

ARTICLE 10

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01    Note Guarantees.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each Guarantor hereby fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, on a joint and several basis, to each Holder of the Notes, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, the due and

80

punctual payment of the Note Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that the Note Obligations will rank senior in right of payment with other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except for (i) claims of creditors that are mandatorily preferred by law, in which case the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees will rank junior in right of payment to such claims; (ii) Permitted Pari Passu Debt, in which case the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees will rank equally in right of payment to such Permitted Pari Passu Debt; and (iii) Aircraft Indebtedness, in which case the obligations of the Guarantors under the Note Guarantees will rank junior in right of payment to such Aircraft Indebtedness.

(b)    To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture (or a supplement thereto, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto) and, in the case of additional Guarantors added pursuant to Section 4.17 or 9.01 hereof, a supplement to the Note Guarantee, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer of such Guarantor.

(c)    Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes.

(d)    If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture (or a supplement thereto) or any notation of Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates a Note, the Note Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless.

(e)    Each Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by law) that the Note Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound under this Section 10.01 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Note Obligation.

(f)    Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Note Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Note Obligations.

(g)    Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder to any security held for payment of the Note Obligations.

(h)    Except as set forth in Section 10.04, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Note Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Note Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Note Obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in

81

accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Note Obligations; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Company; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Note Obligations or (h) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(i)    Each Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Note Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee in compliance with Section 5.01, Section 8.01 or Section 10.05 hereof. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, the Applicable Premium or interest on any of the Note Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(j)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Note Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Note Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding).

(k)    Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Note Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Note Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Note Obligations, such Note Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Note Guarantee.

(l)    Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

(m)    Any Guarantor may, but shall not be required to be, a Grantor in accordance with Section 11.04.

82

Section 10.02    Right of Contribution.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under the Note Guarantees, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Company or any other Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 10.03    No Subrogation.

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder for the payment of the Note Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders by the Company on account of the Note Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Note Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Note Obligations.

Section 10.04    Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability.

Each Guarantor and, by its acceptance of a Note, each Holder of a Note hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that in no event shall any Note Obligations under the Note Guarantees constitute or result in a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of, or result in a violation of, any United States federal, or applicable United States state, fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, in the event that the Note Obligations, if any, in respect of the Notes would, but for this sentence, constitute or result in such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation, then the liability of the applicable Guarantor under its Note Guarantee in respect of the Notes shall be reduced to the extent necessary to eliminate such fraudulent transfer or conveyance or violation under the applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance or similar law.

Section 10.05    Releases.

(a)    In the event of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor (other than the Company), by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all Capital Stock of any Guarantor (other than the Company), in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or the merger or consolidation of a Guarantor (other than the Company) with or into the Company or another Guarantor, in each case, in a transaction permitted

83

(b)    Each Guarantor will be automatically released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes in accordance with Article 8 hereof or upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 8 hereof.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Indenture or the Collateral Documents to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action if it shall not have received written instruction, advice or concurrence from, as applicable, the Required Holders (or Holders representing such number or percentage of outstanding aggregate principal of the Notes as shall be expressly provided for herein or in any other Collateral Document) in respect of such action and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure or delay in taking any actions contemplated above as a result of a failure or delay on the part of the Required Holders or such Holders, as applicable, to provide such instruction, advice or concurrence. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto. Subject to the foregoing (and the other provisions of this Section 12.16) and the terms of the Collateral Documents and any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to any Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Holders.

(b)    The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may be removed by the Company at any time, upon thirty days written notice to the Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns or is

90

removed under this Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and has accepted such appointment within 30 days after the Collateral Agent gives notice of resignation or is removed, the retiring Collateral Agent may (at the expense of the Company), at its option, appoint a successor Collateral Agent or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.16 (and Section 7.06) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation or removal be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(f)    Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Grantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Grantor’s property constituting

91

collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Collateral Document, other than pursuant to the instructions of the Required Holders or as otherwise provided in this Indenture or the Collateral Documents.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the Collateral Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under any mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

(h)    The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture and the Collateral Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Company (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law).

(i)    The Collateral Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee.

Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of

its rights under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral.
