(a) General. The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. 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 denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

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 Trustee, 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) Global Notes. Global Notes will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend set forth in Section 2.06(f) hereof and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Definitive Notes will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend and without the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Each Global Note will represent such of the outstanding Notes as will be specified therein and each shall provide that it represents the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

(c) Euroclear and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “General Terms and Conditions of Clearstream Banking” and “Customer Handbook” of Clearstream and, in each case, any successor provisions, will be applicable to transfers of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes that are held by Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication.

At least one Officer must sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile 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”), authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes issued pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof. 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, except as provided in Section 2.07 hereof.

In authenticating the Notes, the Trustee shall receive, and subject to Section 7.01 hereof will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company and the Guarantors in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors enforceable in accordance with their terms (except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity, and subject to customary assumptions).

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

Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.

The Company will maintain or cause to be maintained 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 Notes and of their transfer and exchange. 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.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

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 of Notes or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Special Interest, if any, or interest on the Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Company or any other obligor 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 of Notes 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 of Notes. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least two 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 the Holders of Notes.

THIS LEGEND WILL BE REMOVED UPON THE REQUEST OF THE HOLDER AFTER THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.”

(2) Global Note Legend. Each Global Note will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06 OF THE INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.06(a) OF THE INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.11 OF THE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITARY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.

(g) Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will be made on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached to such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(h) General Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.

(1) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate Global Notes and 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 beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge or notation payable upon exchange, transfer or notation pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.09, 4.10, 4.15 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) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(5) 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

(C) to register the transfer of or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest payment date.

(6) 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 and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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

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

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, including reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee.

Every replacement Note is an 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, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, 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; however, Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b) hereof.

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 such 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, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company or any Guarantor will be disregarded, 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 actually 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 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.

Until such exchange, Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and privileges 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, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else, will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and at the written direction of the Company will dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its then existing procedures therefor (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). Certification of such disposal of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company upon request. 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 of Notes 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 of Notes a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in any notice issued under this Indenture, including but not limited to notices of redemption, as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or other notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or effect of other such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.14. Issuance of Additional Notes.

After the date of this Indenture, the Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture. All the Notes issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors and an Officers’ Certificate, a copy of each which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; and

(b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes; provided, however, that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Section 2.15. Global Securities.

Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary except to the extent such action or failure to act is at the request of the Trustee or such Agent.

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to purchase at any time, and the Notes are not Global Notes, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption or purchase on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, the Trustee will select Notes for redemption based on DTC’s method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection), unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange or depositary requirements.

In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not $2,000 or a multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be

redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, 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 pursuant to Articles 8 or 11 hereof.

The notice will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will state:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price;

(3) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued upon cancellation of the original Note;

(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;

If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.09.		Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds or Sale of Collateral Consideration.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is required to commence an Asset Sale Offer or a Sale of Collateral Offer, it will follow the procedures specified below.

The Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer shall be made to all Holders of Notes and, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, all holders of Other Offer Notes; provided that, in the case of an Asset Sale Offer, the percentage of such Excess Proceeds allocated and offered to the Notes in such Asset Sale Offer is at least equal to the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all Priority Lien Debt represented at such time by the Notes.

The Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds (in the case of an Asset Sale) or Sale of Collateral Consideration (in the case of a Sale of Collateral) (in each case, the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and Other Offer Notes (in the case of an Asset Sale) (on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer or all Notes tendered in response to the Sale of Collateral Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders of Notes who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, as applicable.

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, the Company will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, as applicable. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, as applicable, will state:

(1) that the Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, as applicable, is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, as applicable, will remain open;

(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest and Special Interest, if any;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, as applicable, will cease to accrue interest and Special Interest, if any, after the Purchase Date;

(5) that Holders of Notes electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, as applicable, may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof only;

(6) that Holders of Notes electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, as applicable, will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(7) that Holders of Notes will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness (in the case of an Asset Sale Offer) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee will select the Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness (in the case of an Asset Sale Offer) to be purchased on a pro rata basis (or, in the case of Global Notes, the Trustee will select Notes to be purchased based on DTC’s method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection) based on the principal amount of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness (in the case of an Asset Sale Offer) surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and

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

On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, as applicable, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail

or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer or Sale of Collateral Offer, as applicable, on the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

Section 4.01. Payment of Notes.

The Company will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Special Interest, if any, on, the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture.

The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission

will in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company be required by this Section 4.03 to (i) comply with Section 302 or Section 404 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002, or related Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, or Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K (with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein) or Regulation G, (ii) include the separate financial information for guarantors contemplated by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC or (iii) provide any additional information in respect of

(e) Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including compliance by the Company or any Guarantor with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Section 4.04. Compliance Certificate.

(15) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed (i) $250.0 million, before the effective date of the Airlines Merger or (ii) $500.0 million, from and after the effective date of the Airlines Merger, such aggregate amount to be calculated (in either case) from the date of this Indenture;

(16) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries can make any Restricted Investment; and

(17) the payment of any amounts in respect of any restricted stock units or other instruments or rights whose value is based in whole or in part on the value of any Equity Interests issued to any directors, officers or employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.

In the case of any Restricted Payment that is not cash, the amount of such non-cash Restricted Payment will be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 4.07 will be determined by an Officer of the Company and, if greater than $10.0 million, set forth in an officer’s certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.07, if a proposed Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in clauses (1) through (17) of subparagraph (b) of this Section 4.07, or is entitled to be made pursuant to subparagraph (a) of this Section 4.07, the Company will be entitled to classify on the date of its payment or later reclassify such Restricted Payment (or portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.07.

For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall not constitute Restricted Payments and therefore will not be subject to any of the restrictions described in this Section 4.07:

(a) the payment on or with respect to, or purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is not contractually subordinated to the notes or to any Note Guarantee;

(b) the payment of regularly scheduled amounts in respect of, and the issuance of common stock of the Company upon conversion of, the 6% Convertible Preferred Securities, Term Income Deferred Equity Securities (TIDES)_SM issued by Continental Airlines Finance Trust II or the underlying 6% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2030 issued by the Company; and

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, if a Restricted Payment is made at a time when a Default has occurred and is continuing and such Default is subsequently cured, the

Default or Event of Default arising from the making of such Restricted Payment during the existence of such Default shall simultaneously be deemed cured.


Section 4.08.		Restrictions on Ability of Restricted Subsidiaries to Pay Dividends and Make Certain Other Payments.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(2) pay any indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(4) sell, lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b) The restrictions in Section 4.08(a) hereof will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1) agreements (A) governing Existing Indebtedness, Credit Facilities, Junior Lien Obligations and any other Priority Lien Obligations, in each case as in effect on (or required by agreements in effect on) the date of this Indenture or (B) in effect on the date of this Indenture;

(2) this Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents;

(3) agreements governing other Indebtedness or shares of preferred stock permitted to be incurred or issued under the provisions of Section 4.09 hereof; provided that if such Restricted Subsidiary incurring or issuing such Indebtedness or shares of preferred stock is not a Guarantor, the restrictions therein are either (in each case, as determined in good faith by a senior financial officer of the Company) (A) not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees or (B)(i) customary for instruments of such type and (ii) will not materially adversely impact the ability of the Company to make required principal and interest payments on the Notes;

(4) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(5) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including by way of

merger, consolidation or amalgamation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

(6) customary provisions in contracts, licenses, leases and asset sale agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(7) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property (or proceeds thereof) purchased or leased of the nature described in clause (4) of Section 4.08(a) hereof;

(8) any contract or agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions, asset sales or loans by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

(9) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, extension, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing is, in the good faith judgment of a senior financial officer of the Company, taken together as a whole, not materially more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in (A) the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, extension, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing or (B) this Indenture;

(10) Permitted Liens and Liens that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;

(11) provisions limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property or loans or advances in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment), which limitation is applicable only to the assets or the joint venture entity, as applicable, that are the subject of such agreements or otherwise in the ordinary course of business;

(12) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(13) any instrument or agreement entered into in connection with any full or partial “spin-off” or similar transactions;

(14) any encumbrance or restriction of the type referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) of Section 4.08(a) imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, extensions, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of

the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (1) through (13) of this Section 4.08(b); provided that such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, extension, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing is, in the good faith judgment of a senior financial officer of the Company, taken together as a whole, not materially more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in (A) the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, extension, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing or (B) this Indenture; and

(15) any encumbrance or restriction existing under or by reason of Indebtedness or other contractual requirements of a Receivables Subsidiary or any Standard Securitization Undertaking, in each case, in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction; provided that such restrictions apply only to such Receivables Subsidiary.

Section 4.09. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock and the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or such preferred stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 1.1 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or the preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

(b) The provisions of Section 4.09(a) hereof will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(5) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of (A) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, extend, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred under Section 4.09(a) or clauses (2), (4), (5), (6), (13), (20), (21), (24) or (25) of this Section 4.09(b) and (B) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness secured by aircraft, airframes, engines, spare parts, flight simulators, flight training devices or other assets replacing, renewing, refunding, extending, refinancing, defeasing or discharging any other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that was secured by aircraft, airframes, engines, spare parts, flight simulators, flight training devices or other assets;

(6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock (including Acquired Debt) (A) as part of, or to finance, the acquisition (including by way of merger) of any Permitted Business, (B) incurred in connection with, or as a result of, the merger, consolidation or amalgamation of any Person that owns a Permitted Business with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or into which the Company or a Restricted

(8) the issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:

(18) the incurrence by a Receivables Subsidiary of Indebtedness in a Qualified Receivables Transaction that is without recourse to the Company or to any other Subsidiary of the Company or their assets (other than such Receivables Subsidiary and its assets and, as to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company, other than Standard Securitization Undertakings) and is not guaranteed by any such Person;

(25), not to exceed (i) $500.0 million, before the effective date of the Airlines Merger or (ii) $1.0 billion, from and after the effective date of the Airlines Merger, in either case, at any time outstanding.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09, if an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (25) of Section 4.09(b) hereof or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09; provided that (A) all Priority Lien Debt will at all times be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception provided by clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Debt,” (B) all Junior Lien Debt will at all times be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on the exception provided by clause (21) of the definition of Permitted Debt and (C) the term “Existing Indebtedness” will not include any Indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under clauses (1), (3) or (21) of the definition of “Permitted Debt.”

None of the following will constitute an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09:

(1) the accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends;

(2) the accretion or amortization of original issue discount;

(3) the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms;

(4) the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles; and

(5) the payment of dividends on preferred stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of preferred stock or Disqualified Stock.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(1) the accreted value of the Indebtedness as of such date, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(2) the principal amount of the Indebtedness as of such date, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(3) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets as of such date; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person as of such date.

(c) Except as otherwise set forth in the next sentence, the Company will not incur, and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company or a Guarantor may otherwise incur the Indebtedness under this Section 4.09, the Company or a Guarantor may incur Indebtedness that is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor provided that all such Indebtedness is secured by the same assets (other than Collateral).

Section 4.10. Asset Sales.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

(1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests issued, sold or otherwise disposed of; provided that (i) any involuntary disposition or (ii) any disposition of Slots or Gate Leaseholds shall be deemed to satisfy the provisions of this clause (1) regardless of the consideration received;

(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents, Qualified Replacement Assets, or a combination thereof; provided that (i) any involuntary disposition or (ii) any disposition of (A) Slots or Gate Leaseholds, (B) assets used or useful in connection with any loyalty program, maintenance, repair and overhaul business or flight center training business, (C) Capital Stock of any Person that owns assets of the kind referred to in clauses (A) or (B) of this proviso or (D) any assets or rights not constituting Collateral may be for consideration of a form or combination of forms not meeting the required minimum cash or Cash Equivalents, Qualified Replacement Assets or combination thereof described in this clause (2);

(3) in the case of an Asset Sale that constitutes a Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor, the Company (or the applicable Grantor, as the case may be) deposits the Net Proceeds therefrom within two Business Days, or in the case of a sale of Cure Collateral, within five Business Days, of receipt thereof as Collateral in a segregated account or

accounts (each, a “Collateral Proceeds Account”) held by or under the control of (for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code) the Collateral Trustee or its agent to secure all Secured Debt Obligations; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to cause any Net Proceeds from a Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor to be held in the Collateral Proceeds Account except to the extent the aggregate Net Proceeds from all Sales of Collateral or Sales of a Grantor that are not held in the Collateral Proceeds Account would exceed (i) $5.0 million prior to the effective date of the Airlines Merger or (ii) $10.0 million from and after the effective date of the Airlines Merger; and

(4) in the case of an Asset Sale that constitutes a Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor, the Company (or the applicable Grantor, as the case may be) delivers an Appraisal to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee demonstrating, with reasonably detailed calculations, the Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio, after giving pro forma effect to such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor (excluding, for purposes of calculating the Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio, the proceeds of such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor and the intended use thereof); and provided that:

(A) if the pro forma Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio (calculated as provided in clause (4) of this Section 4.10(a)) is at least 1.5 to 1.0, within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from such a Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor, the Company may apply such Net Proceeds:

(i) to purchase Qualified Replacement Assets;

(ii) to purchase Cure Collateral, in the case of Net Proceeds received from any sale of Cure Collateral;

(iii) to repay Indebtedness (other than Secured Debt Obligations) that is secured by a Permitted Lien on any Collateral that was sold in such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor;

(iv) to optionally redeem all or a part of the Notes pursuant to any of the provisions of Section 3.07 hereof; or

(v) to make a capital expenditure to augment, increase, renovate or renew assets that constitute Collateral;

provided that the Company will be deemed to have complied with the provision described in clauses (i), (ii) and (v) of this Section 4.10(a)(4)(A) if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor that generated the Net Proceeds, the Company has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to acquire the assets that would constitute Collateral or make a capital expenditure in compliance with the provision described in clauses (i), (ii) and (v) of this Section 4.10(a)(4)(A), and that acquisition, purchase or capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period;

(B) if the pro forma Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio (calculated as provided in clause (4) of this Section 4.10(a)) is less than 1.5 to 1.0 and equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.0, the Company will:

(i) pay Special Interest commencing to accrue on the date of such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor, with the first payment due on the first regular interest payment date to occur at least 50 days after the date of such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor. The Company may, within 45 days after such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor, grant a Secured Debt Lien on Qualified Replacement Assets to secure all current and future Secured Debt Obligations, in which event the pro forma Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio will be recalculated and such Qualified Replacement Assets will be included in the calculation of the pro forma Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio (calculated as provided in clause (4) of this Section 4.10(a)). If, after the pledge of Qualified Replacement Assets within the 45-day period contemplated by the preceding sentence and the recalculation of the pro forma Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company’s pro forma Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio (calculated as provided in clause (4) of this Section 4.10(a)) is at least 1.5 to 1.0, no Special Interest will accrue pursuant to this clause (i) of this Section 4.10(a)(4)(B);

(ii) contribute (or cause the applicable Grantor to contribute) to the Collateral Proceeds Account within two Business Days of the closing of such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor: (x) 100% of the cash and Cash Equivalents received in such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor and (y) cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the non-cash consideration received in such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor (the aggregate amount of cash and Cash Equivalents contemplated by clauses (x) and (y) is collectively referred to as the “Sale of Collateral Consideration”);

(iii) within five Business Days of the date on which the aggregate amount of Sale of Collateral Consideration from such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor and all prior Sales of Collateral or Sales of a Grantor contemplated by this clause (a)(4)(B) that has not previously been used to make an offer to repurchase the Notes exceeds $10.0 million, make an offer to repurchase, for cash, the Notes in an amount equal to the Sale of Collateral Consideration, whereby (I) the offer price will be equal to 103% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date and (II) if the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered in such offer exceeds the Sale of Collateral Consideration, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased pro rata (or, in the case of Global Notes, the Trustee will select Notes to be purchased based on DTC’s method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection) based

on the aggregate principal amounts so tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased) (such offer, a “Sale of Collateral Offer”); and

(iv) retain any cash or Cash Equivalents remaining after the consummation of the Sale of Collateral Offer in the Collateral Proceeds Account as Collateral, unless the Company, at its option, chooses to use such funds to (x) purchase (or cause a Grantor to purchase) Qualified Replacement Assets or (y) optionally redeem all or a part of the Notes pursuant to any of the provisions of Section 3.07 hereof; and

(C) if the pro forma Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio (calculated as provided in clause (4) of this Section 4.10(a)) is less than 1.25 to 1.0, the Company will, prior to such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor, grant (or cause a Grantor to grant) a Secured Debt Lien on such amount of Qualified Replacement Assets to secure all current and future Secured Debt Obligations as would be necessary to cause the calculation of the pro forma Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio as of the date of such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor, calculated as if such pledge of Qualified Replacement Assets had already occurred, to be at least 1.25 to 1.0. If the recalculated pro forma Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio would have been at least 1.5 to 1.0, the Company will comply with clause (4)(A) of this Section 4.10(a) in connection with such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor, otherwise, the Company will comply with clause (4)(B) of this Section 4.10(a).

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Company consummate any Asset Sale that constitutes a Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor if the Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio is or, after giving effect thereto, would be less than 1.25 to 1.0 (excluding the proceeds of such Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor and the intended use thereof).

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, other than a Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:

(1) to repay the Notes in whole or in part and any other Indebtedness secured by a Lien;

(2) to repay any other Indebtedness in whole or in part, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (subject to, in the case of any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee, Section 4.07 hereof);

(3) to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or is

acquired by a merger, consolidation or amalgamation with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(4) to make a capital expenditure; or

(5) to acquire other assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business;

provided that the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) will be deemed to have complied with the provision described in clauses (3), (4) and (5) of this Section 4.10(b) if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Proceeds, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) has entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to acquire a Permitted Business, make a capital expenditure or acquire other assets used or useful in a Permitted Business in compliance with the provision described in clauses (3), (4) and (5) of this Section 4.10(b), and that acquisition, purchase or capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period and provided, further, that to the extent Net Proceeds are comingled with other cash and Cash Equivalents, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) shall be deemed to have complied with the provisions of clauses (1) through (5) above so long as the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary) uses any cash or Cash Equivalents of the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary) to take any of the actions described in clauses (1) through (5) above.

(c) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale that is not a Sale of Collateral or Sale of a Grantor, the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary) may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.

(d) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in clause (a)(4)(A) or clause (b) of this Section 4.10, together with any such Net Proceeds that are earlier designated as “Excess Proceeds” by the Company, will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Within five Business Days of the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds (including any Excess Proceeds held in the Collateral Proceeds Account, other than any Sale of Collateral Consideration) exceeds $30.0 million (or earlier if the Company so elects), the Company will make an offer and/or repay, prepay or redeem, as applicable, to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Priority Lien Debt containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase (“Other Offer Notes”), and prepay any other Priority Lien Debt requiring repayment or prepayment (collectively, whether through an offer or a required prepayment, an “Asset Sale Offer”); provided that the percentage of such Excess Proceeds allocated and offered to the Notes in such Asset Sale Offer is at least equal to the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of all Priority Lien Debt represented at such time by the Notes. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, prepayment or redemption, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Other Offer Notes tendered in such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the

amount of Excess Proceeds (including any Excess Proceeds held in the Collateral Proceeds Account, other than any Sale of Collateral Consideration) allocated to such Notes and Other Offer Notes in such Asset Sale Offer, the Trustee will select the Notes and Other Offer Notes to be purchased pro rata (or, in the case of Global Notes, the Trustee will select Notes to be purchased based on DTC’s method that most nearly approximates a pro rata selection) based on the aggregate principal amounts so tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased). Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at 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 laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer or a Sale of Collateral Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 hereof or this Section 4.10 by virtue of such compliance.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s failure to make an offer for the Notes would constitute a Default under clause (4) of Section 6.01 hereof and not clause (2).

Section 4.11. Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $50.0 million, unless:

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary (taking into account all effects the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary expects to result from such transaction whether tangible or intangible) than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(2) the Company delivers to the Trustee:

(A) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $100.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (1) of this Section 4.11(a); and

(B) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $200.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Restricted

Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

(b) The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a) hereof:

(1) any employment agreement, confidentiality agreement, non-competition agreement, incentive plan, employee stock option agreement, long-term incentive plan, profit sharing plan, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;

(2) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries (including without limitation in connection with any full or partial “spin-off” or similar transactions);

(3) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Company) that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(4) payment of fees, reimbursements of expenses (pursuant to indemnity arrangements or otherwise) and reasonable and customary indemnities provided to or on behalf of officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(5) any issuance of Qualifying Equity Interests to Affiliates of the Company;

(6) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services in the ordinary course of business or transactions with joint ventures, alliances, alliance members or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(7) Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments that do not violate Section 4.07 hereof;

(8) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business not to exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

(9) transactions pursuant to agreements or arrangements in effect on the date of this Indenture or any amendment, modification or supplement thereto or replacement thereof and any payments made or performance under any agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture or any amendment, replacement, extension or renewal thereof (so long as such agreement as so amended, replaced, extended or renewed is not materially less advantageous, taken as a whole, to the Holders of Notes than the original agreement as in effect on the date of this Indenture);

(10) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or transactions between a Receivables Subsidiary and any Person in which the Receivables Subsidiary has an Investment;

(11) any transaction effected as part of a Qualified Receivables Transaction;

(12) any purchase by the Company’s Affiliates of Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, the majority of which Indebtedness is offered to Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company; and

(13) from and after effectiveness of the Continental/UAL Merger, transactions between the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, on the one hand, and UAL or any Subsidiary of UAL (other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), on the other, relating to the integration of the business and operations of the Company and United, provided that all transactions pursuant to this clause (13), taken as a whole, are not reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (it being understood that an arrangement not to exceed 24 months whereby one of the Company or United controls the operations of the overall combined business of the Company and United pursuant to an agreement providing for the allocation of the revenues and expenses of such combined operations to the Company and United on a commercially reasonable basis intended to reflect the relative revenues and expenses of each as if they had been operating separately shall not be deemed to have such a material adverse effect).

Section 4.12. Liens.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any property or asset that constitutes Collateral, except Permitted Liens.

Section 4.13. Business Activities.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 4.14. Corporate Existence.

The Company shall do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary; and

(2) the rights (charter and statutory) and material franchises of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and the Guarantors, taken as a whole.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.14 shall not prohibit any actions permitted by Article 5 hereof.

Section 4.15. Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and stating:

(1) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Notes tendered will be accepted for payment;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

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

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders of Notes electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders of Notes will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission

or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have the Notes purchased; and

(7) that Holders of Notes whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, which unpurchased portion must be equal to $2,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

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 those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.15, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.15 by virtue of such compliance.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The Paying Agent will promptly mail (but in any case not later than five days after the Change of Control Payment Date) to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.15, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (1) 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 Section 4.15 hereof and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such

Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s failure to make a Change of Control Offer would constitute a Default under clause (4) of Section 6.01 hereof and not clause (2).

Section 4.16. Payments for Consent.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Section 4.17. Additional Note Guarantees and Additional Grantors.

(a) If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, then that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and execute a supplemental indenture and deliver an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee within 30 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created; provided, that any Domestic Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary, a Receivables Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor and deliver such opinion until 30 Business Days after such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary, a Receivables Subsidiary or an Excluded Subsidiary or such time as it guarantees, or pledges any property or assets to secure, any other Secured Debt Obligations.

(b) If any Guarantor acquires any asset that would constitute Collateral, such Guarantor will, if at the time such Guarantor is not a Grantor, become a Grantor under each applicable Security Document and execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the holders of Secured Debt Obligations all agreements, instruments or documents as well as joinders in the form required under each applicable Security Document within 20 Business Days of the date on which such asset was acquired.

Section 4.18. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time under Section 4.07 and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that redesignation would not cause a Default.

Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the preceding conditions. The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation will be permitted only if (a) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period and (b) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.

Section 4.19. Delivery of Appraisals.

On:

(1) a date within 30 days prior to April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2011;

(2) the date upon which any Qualified Replacement Assets or Cure Collateral is pledged as Collateral to the Collateral Trustee to secure Secured Debt Obligations, but only with respect to such Qualified Replacement Assets or Cure Collateral; and

(3) promptly (but in any event within 45 days) following a request by the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

the Company will deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee one or more Appraisals establishing the Appraised Value of the Collateral. The Company will make copies of these Appraisals available on a private, restricted website to which the Trustee, Holders of Notes, prospective investors, broker-dealers and securities analysts are given access, subject to such individuals agreeing to confidentiality obligations reasonably acceptable to the Company for securities law purposes.

In addition to clauses (1) through (3) above, the Company will deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee a copy of any Appraisal that is delivered by the Company to any other Secured Debt Representative or other holder of Secured Debt Obligations, but has not been or is not being delivered to the Trustee and Collateral Trustee in accordance with clauses (1) through (3) above, within 10 Business Days of the date on which such Appraisal was given to such other Secured Debt Representative or holder of Secured Debt Obligations.

Section 4.20. Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio.

Within 10 Business Days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2010, (the last day of each such fiscal quarter being a “Reference Date”), the Company will deliver to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee an Officers’ Certificate demonstrating, with reasonable detail, the calculation of the Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio as of the applicable Reference Date.

If:

(1) the Company fails to deliver the Officers’ Certificate required by the preceding paragraph within the time period specified in such paragraph or any required Appraisal referred to in Section 4.19 hereof, or

(2) such Appraisal or such Officers’ Certificate demonstrates that the Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio was less than 1.5 to 1.0 as of the applicable Reference Date,

then the Company will pay Special Interest, with the first payment due in the case of clause (2) on the first regular interest payment date to occur at least 50 days after the applicable Reference Date. Any such Special Interest shall begin to accrue on the earlier of (A) the date the Company delivers an Appraisal or an Officers’ Certificate demonstrating that its Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio was less than 1.5 to 1.0, or (B) the date on which the Company was required to deliver such Appraisal or such Officers’ Certificate, and shall continue to accrue until the Company delivers to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee an Appraisal and an Officers’ Certificate demonstrating, with reasonably detailed calculations, that the Company’s Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio was at least 1.5 to 1.0 as of a date subsequent to the applicable Reference Date.

If the Company’s Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio is less than 1.5 to 1.0 on any Reference Date, the Company may, within 45 days after such Reference Date:

(1) grant a Secured Debt Lien on additional assets pledged as Cure Collateral under the Security Documents to secure Priority Lien Obligations and Junior Lien Obligations and such Cure Collateral will be included in the calculation of Appraised Value as of such Reference Date; and/or

(2) redeem, repay, prepay, repurchase or otherwise retire Priority Lien Debt, including by redeeming Notes pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof. Such redeemed, repaid, prepaid, repurchased or otherwise retired Priority Lien Debt will not be included in the calculation of the Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio as of such Reference Date.

If, after the pledge of Cure Collateral and/or any redemption, repayment, prepayment, repurchase or other retirement of Priority Lien Debt contemplated by the preceding paragraph and the recalculations of the Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Company’s Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio as of the applicable Reference Date would have been at least 1.5 to 1.0, then the Company will be deemed to have a Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0 as of such Reference Date, and no Special Interest will accrue with respect to such Reference Date.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company’s failure to maintain a Priority Lien Debt Value Ratio in excess of 1.5 to 1.0 will not be deemed to constitute a failure to comply with any of the agreements in the Note Documents for purposes of clause (4) under Section 6.01 hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s failure to deliver any Appraisal required by Section 4.19 hereof will be deemed to constitute a failure to comply with an agreement in the Note Documents for purposes of clause (4) under Section 6.01 hereof. The Company may not pledge additional assets as Cure Collateral except as provided in this Section 4.20 and pursuant to clause (7) under Section 4.1(a) of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

Section 4.21. Regulatory Cooperation.

In connection with any foreclosure, collection, sale or other enforcement of Liens granted to the Collateral Trustee in the Security Documents, the Company will, and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate in good faith with the Collateral Trustee or its designee in obtaining all regulatory licenses, consents and other governmental approvals necessary or (in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Trustee or its designee) reasonably advisable to conduct all aviation operations with respect to the Collateral and will, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Trustee and in good faith, continue to operate and manage the Collateral and maintain all applicable regulatory licenses with respect to the Collateral until such time as the Collateral Trustee or its designee obtain such licenses, consents and approvals, and at such time the Company will, and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cooperate in good faith with the transition of the aviation operations with respect to the Collateral to any new aviation operator (including, without limitation, the Collateral Trustee or its designee).

Section 4.22. Regulatory Matters; Citizenship; Utilization; Reporting.

(a) So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Company and CMI each will:

(1) maintain at all times its status as an “air carrier” within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(2) of Title 49, and hold a certificate under Section 41102(a)(1) of Title 49;

(2) be a United States Citizen;

(3) maintain at all times its status at the FAA as an “air carrier” and hold an air carrier operating certificate under Section 44705 of Title 49 and operations specifications issued by the FAA pursuant to Parts 119 and 121 of Title 14 as currently in effect or as may be amended or recodified from time to time (except that CMI need not hold such an operating certificate or operating specifications so long as it is covered by the Company’s operating certificate or operating specifications, respectively);

(4) possess and maintain all necessary certificates, exemptions, franchises, licenses, permits, designations, rights, concessions, authorizations, frequencies and consents that are material to the operation of the Pledged Routes and Pledged Slots (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Routes and CMI Material Slots) operated by it, and to the conduct of its business and operations as currently conducted, except to the extent that any failure to possess or maintain would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(5) maintain Pledged Gate Leaseholds (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Gate Leaseholds) sufficient to ensure its ability to retain its right in and to the Pledged Routes (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Routes) and to preserve its right in and to its Pledged Slots (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Slots), except to the extent that any failure to maintain would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(6) utilize its Pledged Slots (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Slots) in a manner consistent with applicable regulations, rules, foreign law and contracts in order to preserve its right to hold and use its Pledged Slots (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Slots), taking into account any waivers or other relief granted to it by any applicable Foreign Aviation Authorities, except to the extent that any failure to utilize would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(7) cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its rights in and to use its Pledged Slots (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Slots), including, without limitation, satisfying any applicable Use or Lose Rule, except to the extent that any failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(8) utilize its Pledged Routes (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Routes) in a manner consistent with Title 49, applicable foreign law, the applicable rules and regulations of the FAA, DOT and any applicable Foreign Aviation Authorities, and any applicable treaty in order to preserve its rights to hold and operate its Pledged Routes (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Routes), except to the extent that any failure to utilize would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and

(9) cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its authority to serve its Pledged Routes (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Routes), except to the extent that any failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Without in any way limiting Section 4.22(a) hereof, the Company and CMI each will promptly take (1) all such steps as may be reasonably necessary to obtain renewal of its authority to serve its Pledged Routes (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Routes) from the DOT and any applicable Foreign Aviation Authorities within a reasonable time prior to the expiration of such authority (as prescribed by law or regulation, if any), and notify the Collateral Trustee of any material adverse development in the renewal of such authority and (2) all such other steps as may be necessary to maintain, renew and obtain, or obtain the use of, Pledged Gate Leaseholds (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Gate Leaseholds) as needed for its continued and future operations over its Pledged Routes (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Routes). The Company and CMI each will further take all actions reasonably necessary or, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Trustee, advisable in order to maintain its material rights to use its Pledged Routes (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Routes) (including, without limitation, protecting its Pledged Routes (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Routes) from dormancy or withdrawal by the DOT or any applicable Foreign Aviation Authorities) and to have access to its Pledged Gate Leaseholds (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Gate Leaseholds). The Company and CMI each will pay any applicable filing fees and other expenses related to the submission of applications, renewal requests, and other filings as may be reasonably necessary to maintain or obtain its rights in its Pledged Routes (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Routes) and have access to its Pledged Gate Leaseholds (or, in the case of CMI, the CMI Material Gate Leaseholds).

(c) Nothing in this Section 4.22 shall restrict any merger, consolidation or disposition of assets or Equity Interests of CMI otherwise permitted under this Indenture, including a transaction in which CMI ceases to operate as a separate air carrier.

Subject to the provisions described (including the actions permitted) under Sections 4.10 and 5.01 hereof and the definition of “Asset Sale,” each Grantor will continue to maintain its interest in and right to use all property and assets so long as such property and assets constitute Collateral, except as provided in Section 4.22.

Section 4.24. Insurance.

The Company will:

(1) keep all Collateral insured at all times, against such risks, including fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage, as is prudent and customary with U.S.-based companies of the same or similar size in the same or similar businesses;

(2) maintain in full force and effect public liability insurance against claims for personal injury or death or property damage occurring upon, in, about or in connection with the use of the Collateral owned, occupied or controlled by the Company, in such amounts and with such deductibles as are prudent and customary with U.S.-based companies of the same or similar size in the same or similar businesses and in the same geographic area;

(3) maintain such other insurance or self insurance as may be required by law; and

(4) maintain business interruption insurance in amounts and on terms as are customary in the U.S. domestic airline industry for major U.S. air carriers having both substantial domestic and international operations.

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clauses (8) or (9) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries that are Significant Subsidiaries, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Upon any such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an acceleration and its consequences hereunder, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, the Notes.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest, if any) 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 Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the

103

right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

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 exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not actions or forbearances by a Holder would prejudice the rights of another Holder), or would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which the Trustee has not received a satisfactory indemnity.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(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 Holder or Holders of Notes offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

104

(5) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not actions or forbearances by a Holder would prejudice the rights of another Holder or result in a preference of priority over another Holder).

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note (including Special Interest, if any), on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), 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; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest, if any) remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest (including Special Interest, if any) on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest 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.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Notes, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied

105

for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders of Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. 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, 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 pursuant to this Article 6 or any other money or property distributable in respect of the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under this Indenture, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all reasonable compensation, out-of-pocket expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of collection;

Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest, if any), 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 (including Special Interest, if any), respectively; and

Third: to the Company, the Guarantors, if applicable, or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee, upon prior notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes 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 a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

(j) 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.

(k) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee or any of its Affiliates, each in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or an Affiliate of the Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Section 7.09 hereof.

109

of, premium, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of Notes.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services, except any such disbursements, expenses and advances as may be attributable to the Trustee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

(b) The Company and the Guarantors will indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Company and the Guarantors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability to the extent incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(d) To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(11) or (12) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

(d) 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 then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders of Notes. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

111

Section 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

ARTICLE VIII

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may at any time, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) or premium, if any, on, such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

112

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) this Article 8.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19, 4.20, 4.21, 4.22, 4.23 and 4.24 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders of Notes (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3) through 6.01(10) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

113

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the Holders of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

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

(4) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other Indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Company or any of the Guarantors is bound;

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

(7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the Collateral Trustee will cease to be a party to the Security Documents on behalf of the Holders of Notes and the Collateral will no longer secure the Notes. The Collateral will be released from the Liens securing the Notes as provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement.


Section 8.05.		Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the

114

outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest, if any), but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06. Repayment to Company.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on (including Special Interest, if any), any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

Section 8.07. Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of

115

principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01. Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees without the consent of any Holder:

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

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

(3) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of Notes and Note Guarantees in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s or such Guarantor’s assets, as applicable;

(4) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder;

(5) to conform the text of any of the Note Documents to any provision of the “Description of notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of such Note Documents, as determined in good faith by an officer of the Company and set forth in an Officers’ Certificate to that effect;

(6) to enter into additional or supplemental Security Documents or provide for additional Collateral;

(7) to make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by this Indenture or any of the Security Documents or to release Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents;

(8) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in this Indenture as of the date of this Indenture; or

(9) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

116

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Trustee will be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

Section 9.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof), the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, each of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s and/or the Collateral Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and/or the Collateral Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.

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

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or

117

supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

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

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes (except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, the Notes;

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note (other than a payment required by Sections 3.09, 4.10 or 4.15 hereof);

(8) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(9) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

Any amendment to, or waiver of, the provisions of this Indenture or any Security Document that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes will require the consent of holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding.

Section 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note 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. However, any such Holder of a Note or

118

subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, each of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee will be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.02 hereof, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE X

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 10.01. Guarantee.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note 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 hereunder or thereunder, that:

(1) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on (including Special Interest, if any), the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Special Interest, if any) on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders of Notes or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

119

(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are 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 with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives 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 covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders of Notes in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations (other than contingent obligations) guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders of Notes under the Note Guarantee.

Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

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

120

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

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

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

Section 10.04. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05 hereof, no Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless either:

(1) subject to Section 10.05 hereof, the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Note Guarantees and the Notes Documents on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee; or

(2) the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition, if any, are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation, Section 4.10 hereof.

121

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 10.04, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

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, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or the merger or consolidation of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) will be automatically released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that the Net Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 hereof, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(b) Upon designation of any Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, such Guarantor will be automatically released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.

(c) Upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 8 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof, each Guarantor will be automatically released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.

122

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.05 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest (including Special Interest, if any) and premium, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10.

ARTICLE XI

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding Notes issued hereunder, when:

(1) either:

(A) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(B) all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal of, premium on, if any, and interest (including Special Interest, if any) on, the Notes to the date of maturity or redemption;

(2) in respect of clause (1)(B) of this Section 11.01, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (1)(B) of this Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 hereof will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.06 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 11.02. Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including Special Interest, if any) for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 hereof 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 and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Special Interest, if any) 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 the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

The Collateral Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Collateral Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder.

The Collateral Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of such counsel.
