(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 $1,000 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 and the 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. Notes issued in global form will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (including the Global Note Legend thereon and the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” attached thereto). Notes issued in definitive form will be substantially in the form of

Exhibit A hereto (but without the Global Note Legend thereon 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 thereon 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 transfers, exchanges, conversions and repurchases. 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 or Article 8 hereof.

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 two Officers (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate Notes, including Additional Notes, in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to the provisions of this Indenture. Each Authentication Order will specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated and, in the case of Additional Notes, the issue price of such Notes.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.

An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders, the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

The Company will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”), and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for conversion pursuant to Article 8 hereof (“Conversion 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 or conversion agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion agent. The Company may change any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent 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, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.

The Company will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium or Special Interest, if any, or interest 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 upon written request to a Paying Agent require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any amounts paid. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any amounts paid. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

The Trustee will preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee at least five 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 and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).

(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 payable upon exchange, transfer or conversion pursuant to Sections 2.10, 4.15 and 9.05 hereof and Article 8 hereof, if such transaction does not involve a registration of transfer in the name of a different Holder (other than the Company)).

(3) The Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for conversion or repurchase in whole or in part, except the unconverted or unrepurchased portion of any Note being converted or repurchased 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, 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.

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 fees and expenses of counsel and the Trustee.

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

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.

Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

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

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.

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

(1) the payment date;

(2) the payment price;

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

If any Note called for purchase is not so paid upon surrender for purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the 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.

The delivery of such Notes (either through the surrender of Definitive Notes or through the delivery of beneficial interests in a Global Note in accordance with the Applicable Procedures) to the Paying Agent with, or at any time after delivery of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the offices of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Payment therefor; provided, however, that such Fundamental Change Payment shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 4.15 only if the Notes so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Repurchase Notice. Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.15 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of delivery of the Notes

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Fundamental Change Payment, the Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes is made or whether or not the Note is delivered to the Paying Agent) and all other rights of the Holders of the Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Payment upon delivery or transfer of the Notes).

(d) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, including the filing of a Schedule TO if required, and will comply with the requirements of any other federal and state securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes by the Company as a result of a Fundamental Change. 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 conflict.

(e) On the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered;

(2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Fundamental Change 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 so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.15.

The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Fundamental Change 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; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Holders of the Notes will not have the right to require the Company to repurchase any Notes pursuant to the occurrence of any of the events identified in clauses (2), (3) or (4) of the definition of Fundamental Change (and the Company will not be required to deliver the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice incidental thereto), if either:

(1) the Closing Sale Price of the Company’s Common Stock for any five Trading Days within the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days ending immediately after the later of the Fundamental Change or the public announcement of the Fundamental Change, in the case of a Fundamental Change relating to an acquisition of Capital Stock under clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change, or the period of 10 consecutive Trading Days ending immediately before the Fundamental Change, in the case of a Fundamental Change relating to a merger, consolidation, asset sale or otherwise under clause (3) of the definition of Fundamental Change or a change in the Board of Directors under clause (4) of the definition of Fundamental Change, equals or exceeds 105% of the applicable Conversion Price of the Notes in effect on each of those five Trading Days; or

(2) at least 90% of the consideration paid for the Company’s Common Stock (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights) in a merger or consolidation or a conveyance, sale, transfer or lease otherwise constituting a Fundamental Change under clause (2) and/or clause (3) above consists of shares of common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange or another U.S. national securities exchange or quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market or another established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States (or will be so traded or quoted immediately following the merger or consolidation) and, as a result of the merger or consolidation, the Notes become convertible into such shares of such common stock.

(g) Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Repurchase Notice specified in Section 4.15(c) hereof, the Holder of the Notes in respect of which such Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in Section 4.15(h) hereof) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Payment with respect to such Notes. Such Fundamental Change Payment shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipts of cash by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (a) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the conditions in Section 4.15(c) have been satisfied) and (b) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Notes to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 4.15(c). Notes in respect of which a Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 8 on or after the date of the

delivery of such Repurchase Notice unless such Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in Section 4.15(h) hereof.

(h) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Repurchase Notice contemplated by Section 4.15(c) hereof shall have the right to withdraw such Repurchase Notice, in whole or in part, by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

(1) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

(2) the certificate numbers of the Definitive Notes, if any, in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted; and

(3) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes which remain subject to the original Repurchase Notice and which have been or will be delivered for repurchase by the Company.

Section 4.16 No Layering of Debt.

The Company will not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any indebtedness that is contractually subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt of the Company and senior in right of payment to the Notes. No such indebtedness will be considered to be senior by virtue of being secured on a first or junior priority basis.

Section 4.17 [Reserved].

Section 4.18 Additional Note Guarantees.

(a) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, then the Company will cause that newly acquired or created Domestic Subsidiary to execute a Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee within 10 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by that Domestic Subsidiary and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of that Domestic Subsidiary, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions); provided that any Domestic Subsidiary that constitutes an Immaterial Subsidiary need not become a Guarantor until such time as it ceases to be an Immaterial Subsidiary.

(b) The Note Guarantee of any Domestic Subsidiary that becomes a Guarantor will be released either with the consent of Holders of the Notes in accordance with Section 9.02 hereof or without the consent of Holders of the Notes in accordance with Section 11.06 hereof. The form of notation of Note Guarantee and the related form of supplemental indenture are attached hereto as Exhibit D and Exhibit H, respectively.

(5) the Company fails to provide timely notice of a Fundamental Change, if required by this Indenture, if such failure continues for 30 days after notice to the Company of its failure to do so;

(6) any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or one of its Significant Subsidiaries (all or substantially all of the outstanding voting securities of which are owned, directly, or indirectly, by the Company) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $25.0 million is not paid at final maturity or upon acceleration and such indebtedness is not discharged, or such acceleration is not cured or rescinded, within 10 days after written notice as provided in this Indenture;

(7) failure by the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries to pay final and non-appealable judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, the aggregate uninsured portion of which is at least $25.0 million, if the judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed within 30 days;

(8) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary (or combination of Note Guarantees of any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable, invalid or for any reason not to be in full force and effect, or any Significant Subsidiary (or group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), or any Person acting on its or their behalf, denies or disaffirms its or their obligations under its Note Guarantee or Note Guarantees;

(A) commences a voluntary case,

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (9) or (10) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, 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; provided that so long as any indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Credit Facility is outstanding, such acceleration will not be effective until the earlier of (1) the acceleration of such indebtedness under an existing or future credit facility or (2) five Business Days after receipt by the Senior Debt Representative for such credit facility of written notice of such acceleration.

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

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree based on acceleration and if all existing Defaults (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium or Special Interest, if any, that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

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 and Special Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. 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 notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default in:

(1) the payment of the principal of, premium and Special Interest, if any, or interest 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;

(2) the conversion of any Note into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of such Note and this Indenture; or

(3) compliance with any of the provisions of this Indenture that would require the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected.

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 it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if:

(1) such Holder gives to 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 as Trustee;

(3) such Holder or Holders 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

(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 of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment or Effect Conversion.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium and Special Interest, if any, and interest on the Note, 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 or the right to convert Notes in accordance with Article 8 of this Indenture, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in 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 and Special Interest, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest 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 the 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, 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 7.07 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 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied 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 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, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;

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

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

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10. If a record date is fixed, the Trustee shall mail, by first class mail, to the Holders of the Notes of record, a notice at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the payment date. Such notice shall state: (1) that a payment is being made pursuant to this Section 6.10, (2) the relevant Default and the circumstances giving rise to the collection of money pursuant to this Section 6.10, (3) the payment date and (4) the amount of such payment per $1,000 of Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the payment pursuant to this Section 6.10 is in respect of principal on the Notes, then such principal payment will be conducted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Sections 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 and 3.06 hereof.

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 of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not 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 (if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA) or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee will not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

Except in the case of a Default in payment of principal of, premium or Special Interest, if any, or interest 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 the Notes.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.

(a) Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee will mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also will comply with TIA § 313(b)(2). The Trustee will also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

(b) A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes will be mailed by the Trustee to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed, if any such listing should occur, in accordance with TIA § 313(d). The Company will promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 7.07 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.

Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

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.

(c) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(d) To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, 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.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(9) or (10) 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.

The Company may remove the Trustee if:

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

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

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

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

(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 7.10 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. 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 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09 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.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

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.

This Indenture will always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA § 310(b).

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

The Trustee is subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

ARTICLE 8.

CONVERSION

Section 8.01 Conversion Right and Conversion Rate.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 8, at the option of the Holder thereof, any portion of the principal amount of any Note that is an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted into cash and, under certain circumstances set forth in Section 8.02 hereof, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. The Holders of the Notes may surrender Notes for conversion at the applicable Conversion Rate prior to the state Maturity under any of the following circumstances:

(1) prior to June 15, 2012, during any Conversion Period, if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days in the 30 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the first day of such Conversion Period is greater than 120% of the applicable Conversion Price on the first day of the Conversion Period (the “Sale Price Condition”);

(2) prior to June 15, 2012, during the five consecutive Business Day period following any five consecutive Trading Day period in which the Trading Price of a Note for each day of that trading period was less than 95% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on such corresponding Trading Day as multiplied by the applicable Conversion Rate (the “Trading Price Condition”);

(3) at any time on or after June 15, 2012; or

(4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions set forth in Section 8.07 hereof.

(b) If any of the events described in clauses (2), (3) or (4) of the definition of Fundamental Change occurs, Holders may surrender any Notes for conversion during the period starting on the 15th day prior to the anticipated Effective Date of the applicable Fundamental Change and ending at the close of business on the 15th day after the actual Effective Date of such Fundamental Change transaction or, if such transaction results in Holders having a right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes, the second business day preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as specified in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice). In connection with such a Fundamental Change and in accordance with Section 4.15 hereof, the Company will send Holders a Fundamental Change Conversion Right Notice at least 15 Trading Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date of the Fundamental Change in which the Company will notify Holders that, among other things, they will have the right to convert the Notes. Upon such a conversion in connection with the events described in clauses (2), (3) or (4) of the definition of Fundamental Change, Holders will receive any increase in the conversion rate pursuant to Section 8.05(e) hereof if such conversion occurs within the time frames specified therein (subject to the right of the Company set forth in Section 8.05(f) hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Effective Date of the Fundamental Change identified in the Fundamental Change Conversion Right Notice does not occur within 20 days of the anticipated Effective Date specified in such notice, then the right of Holders to convert the Notes will terminate and, to the extent such Fundamental Change is expected to occur at a

later date, the Company again shall comply with the requirements of this Section 8.01(b) at such later date in connection with such Fundamental Change. If a Fundamental Change occurs, Holders may also have the right, at the option of the Holders, to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes in accordance with Section 4.15 hereof.

(c) In case any Holder of Notes exercises its right to require the Company to repurchase such Notes in accordance with Section 4.15 hereof, the conversion right in respect of the Note, or portion thereof so submitted, shall expire at the close of business on the last Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or such earlier date as the Notes are presented for purchase, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon repurchase, in which case such conversion right shall expire at the close of business on the date the default is cured and the Notes are purchased by the Company (in each case subject to any Applicable Procedures with respect to any Global Note). If any Holder has submitted Notes for repurchase upon a Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 4.15 hereof, such Notes submitted for repurchase may be converted only if such Holder withdraws the election for repurchase in accordance with Section 4.15 hereof.

(d) Notes converted into shares of Common Stock shall initially will be converted at a Conversion Price of $31.25 per share. The rate at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the “Conversion Rate”) shall be initially 31.9980 shares of Common Stock for each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted under the circumstances provided in Section 8.05. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

(e) The Conversion Agent shall determine whether the Sale Price Condition or the Trading Price Condition has been satisfied in accordance with Section 8.11(a).

Section 8.02 Conversion Consideration.

(a) Upon surrendering any Notes for conversion, the Holder of such Notes shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes:

(1) cash in the amount equal to the lesser of:

(A) the principal amount of each Note, or

(B) the Conversion Value; and

(2) to the extent the Conversion Value exceeds $1,000, a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Residual Value Shares”) equal to the sum of the Daily Trading Share Amounts for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days in the Applicable Conversion Reference Period; provided, however, that the Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

If a Holder receives Common Stock upon conversion of Notes, such Holder will also receive the associated rights under any stockholder rights plan that the Company may adopt, whether or not the rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion unless, prior to conversion, the rights have expired, terminated or been exchanged.

(b) The Company may elect to pay cash to Holders of Notes surrendered for conversion in lieu of all or a portion of the Residual Value Shares issuable upon conversion of such Notes. Upon such election, the Company shall provide notice to the relevant Holders and the Trustee stating the dollar

amount to be satisfied in cash (expressed as a percentage of each Residual Value Share that shall be paid in cash in lieu of Common Stock) at any time on or before the date that is three Business Days following receipt of any Holder’s Conversion Notice (the “Cash Settlement Notice Period”). If the Company timely elects to pay cash for any portion of the Residual Value Shares otherwise issuable to such Holder, such Holder may retract the Conversion Notice at any time during the two Business Day period immediately following the Cash Settlement Notice Period (the “Conversion Retraction Period”). If the Company does not make such an election, no retraction can be made (and a Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable). In addition, if the Company chooses to settle all or any portion of the Residual Value Shares in cash in connection with conversions within 20 days prior to the maturity date of the Notes, the Company shall send, on or prior to such maturity date, a single notice to the Trustee of the Residual Value Shares to be satisfied in cash.

The amount of cash payable in respect of each Residual Value Share otherwise issuable upon conversion shall equal the sum of the Residual Cash Value for such share calculated for each day of the applicable Conversion Reference Period.

(c) The Company will determine the Conversion Value, the Daily Trading Share Amount, the calculation of the excess of the Conversion Value over the principal amount and the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable to Holders upon conversion in satisfaction of such excess (assuming that the Company does not elect to pay such excess in cash in accordance with clause (b) above).

Section 8.03 Exercise of Conversion Right.

(a) In order to exercise the conversion right:

(1) the Holder of any Definitive Note to be converted must: (i) complete and manually sign a notice of conversion substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (the “Conversion Notice”); (ii) deliver the Conversion Notice and the Definitive Note (and the Certificate of Conversion & Restricted Transfer, if applicable) to the Conversion Agent and the Company; and (iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; or

(2) the holder of beneficial interests in any Global Note to be converted must comply with the Applicable Procedures to cause the beneficial interests in such Global Note to be delivered to the Conversion Agent,

and in either case, the Holder of a Definitive Note or holder of beneficial interests in a Global Note will, if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes that the Company is not otherwise required to pay pursuant to Section 4.13(b) hereof and, if required pursuant to Section 8.03(b) hereof, pay funds equal to the interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date.

The date on which a Holder of a Definitive Note or holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note completes the requirements of this Section 8.03(a) shall be deemed to be the date of conversion (the “Conversion Date”) for purposes of this Article 8. On and after the Conversion Date, the conversion by such Holder or holder, as set forth in the Conversion Notice, shall become irrevocable.

(b) Each Definitive Note surrendered (in whole or in part), or beneficial interest in any Global Note surrendered to the Conversion Agent, for conversion during the Record Date Period shall be accompanied by payment in same-day funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Note (or part thereof, as the case may be) being surrendered for conversion; provided, however, that no such payment need be made in the case of any Note or portion thereof that is subject to repurchase following a

Fundamental Change on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date occurring during the Record Date Period (or if such interest payment date is not a Business Day, the second Business Day after the interest payment date) and, as a result, the right to convert such Note would otherwise terminate in such Record Date Period if not exercised. The interest so payable on such Interest Payment Date with respect to any Note (or portion thereof, if applicable) that is surrendered for conversion during the Record Date Period shall be paid to the Holder of such Note as of such Regular Record Date in an amount equal to the interest that would have been payable on such Note if such Note had been converted as of the close of business on such Interest Payment Date. Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date in respect of any Note surrendered for conversion on or after such Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder of such Note as of the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, notwithstanding the exercise of the right of conversion. Except as provided in this Section 8.03(b), no cash payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the Conversion Date, in respect of any Note (or part thereof, as the case may be) surrendered for conversion, or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon conversion. The Company’s delivery to the Holder of the cash payment and the number of shares of Common Stock, if any (and cash in lieu of fractions thereof in accordance with Section 8.04 hereof), into which a Note is convertible will be deemed to satisfy all of the Company’s obligations to pay the principal of, and interest or premium, if any, on the Note. Accordingly, accrued but unpaid interest, if any, will be deemed to be paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited. There will be no adjustment to the Conversion Rate or the Conversion Price to account for accrued interest.

(c) Notes shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion Date, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Notes as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the cash payment and shares of Common Stock, if any, payable and issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the payee or payees of such payment and the record holder or holders of such Common Stock, if applicable, at such time. Following any Conversion Date, the Company shall satisfy its obligations with respect to such conversion by either:

(1) delivering to the Trustee, for delivery to the Holder (or such other Person as may be named in the relevant Conversion Notice), the cash payment, together with certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, payable and issuable upon such conversion; or

(2) delivering to such Holder (or such other Person as may be named in the relevant Conversion Notice) the cash payment, together with such number of shares of Common Stock, if any, payable and issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the Applicable Procedures,

in each case, together with payment in lieu of any fractional shares, if any, as provided in Section 8.04 (such cash payment and delivery of shares, if any, the “Settlement”); provided that shares of Common Stock only will be deliverable in certificated form if (i) the Holder or holder that is exercising such conversion has specifically requested in writing that delivery be in certificates or (ii) the Company determines that delivery is required in certificated shares either because (A) delivery to the Holder (or such other Person named in the relevant Conversion Notice) is not practicable in accordance with the Applicable Procedures or (B) in the opinion of legal counsel, delivery is required in certificated form in order to comply with the requirements of applicable securities laws. Settlement shall occur promptly (but in no event more than three Business Days) following the termination of the Applicable Conversion Reference Period.

(d) In the case of any Note which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to

the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Note. A Note may be converted in part, but only if the principal amount of such Note to be converted is any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 and the principal amount of such security to remain outstanding after such conversion is equal to U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(e) If shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Note, or Notes to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Note in part only, are to be registered in a name other than that of the Beneficial Owner of such Restricted Note, then such Holder must deliver to the Conversion Agent a certificate of conversion and restricted transfer in form and substance set forth in Exhibit G hereto (the “Certificate of Conversion & Restricted Transfer”), dated the date of surrender of such Restricted Note and signed by such Beneficial Owner, as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Note. The Certificate of Conversion & Restricted Transfer shall be required in addition to the Conversion Notice. None of the Trustee, any Conversion Agent, Registrar or transfer agent shall be required to register shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion or any unconverted Notes in the name of any Person other than that of the Holder or Beneficial Owner of the converted Restricted Note unless such Holder or Beneficial Owner has delivered a properly completed Certificate of Conversion & Restricted Transfer.

All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of Restricted Notes shall bear restrictive legends substantially in the form of the legends required to be set forth on the Restricted Notes pursuant to Section 2.06(g) hereof and shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in such legends. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall have any responsibility for the inclusion or content of any such restrictive legends on such Common Stock.

Section 8.04 Fractions of Shares.

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. The number of fractional shares to be paid, if any, will be determined by the Closing Sale Price on the applicable Trading Day. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Note or Notes (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall calculate and pay a cash adjustment for the fractional amount (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) based upon the applicable Stock Price.

Section 8.05 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

(a) The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, from time to time upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(1) Stock Dividends in Common Stock. In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on shares of Common Stock payable exclusively in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If, after any such date fixed for determination, any dividend or

distribution is not in fact paid, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Company’s Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed. For the purposes of this clause (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(2) Issuance of Rights or Warrants. In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock entitling them for a period expiring within 60 days from the date of issuance of the rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants (other than any rights, options or warrants that (x) by their terms will also be issued to any Holder upon conversion of a Note into shares of Common Stock without any action required by the Company or any other Person or (y) are distributed to shareholders of the Company upon a merger or consolidation in compliance with Section 8.09 hereof), then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction:

(A) numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase,

such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If, after any such date fixed for determination, any such rights, options or warrants are not in fact issued, or are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date such rights, options or warrants expire, or the date the Company’s Board of Directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if the unexercised rights, options or warrants had never been granted or such determination date had not been fixed, as the case may be and as a result no additional shares are delivered or issued pursuant to such rights or warrants. For the purposes of this clause (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(3) Stock Splits and Combinations. (i) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or split becomes effective shall be proportionately increased; (ii) in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the

day following the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced and (iii) in case the Company issues any shares of its Capital Stock in a reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately applied to the new class of shares of Capital Stock of the Company into which the Common Stock was reclassified; in each case, such increase, reduction or reclassification, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the day upon which such subdivision, combination or reclassification becomes effective.

(4) Distribution of Indebtedness, Securities or Assets. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, securities, assets or certain rights to purchase the Company’s securities (provided, that if these rights are only exercisable upon the occurrence of specified triggering events, then the conversion rate will not be adjusted until the triggering events occur), but excluding (i) any dividends or distributions referred to in clause (1) of this Section 8.05(a), (ii) any rights or warrants referred to in clause (2) of this Section 8.05(a), (iii) any dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash described in clause (6), (7) or (8) of this Section 8.05(a) (the “Distributed Assets”), then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be the such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, whose determination in good faith shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee, of the portion of those Distributed Assets applicable to one share of Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

If after any such date fixed for determination, any such distribution is not in fact made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date of the Company’s Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where (i) the Fair Market Value per share of the Distributed Assets equals or exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock, or (ii) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock exceeds the Fair Market Value per share of the Distributed Assets by less than $1.00, in lieu of the adjustment set forth in this Section 8.05(a)(4), Holders will have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to shares of Common Stock, if any, the amount and type of Distributed Assets such Holders would have received upon conversion of such Holders’ Notes if they had been converted immediately prior to the record date.

(5) Spin-Offs. In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar Equity Interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a “Spin-off”), then the Conversion Rate shall be

adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by an adjustment factor equal to the sum of the Daily Adjustments for each of the 10 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the effective date of the Spin-off, such adjustment to become effective on the 10^th Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the Spin-off.

(6) Cash Distributions. In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock distributions consisting exclusively of cash, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such date fixed for determination less the amount per share of such distribution, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in cases where (i) the per share amount of such distribution equals or exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock, or (ii) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock exceeds the per share amount of such distribution by less than $1.00, in lieu of the adjustment set forth in this Section 8.05(a)(6), Holders will have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to shares of Common Stock, if any, such distribution such Holders would have received upon conversion of such Holders’ Notes if they had been converted immediately prior to the record date.

(7) Tender or Exchange Offers. In case the Company or any Subsidiary shall make a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for any portion of the Common Stock, in which event, to the extent the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), as the case may be, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate immediately prior to close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (a) the Fair Market Value, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, of the aggregate consideration payable for all shares of Common Stock purchased by the Company in the tender or exchange offer and (b) the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding less any such purchased shares and (ii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including any such purchased shares and (b) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the second Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

(8) Repurchases. In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall make a payment in respect of a repurchase of Common Stock the consideration for which exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the relevant repurchase date (such amount, the “Repurchase Premium”), and that repurchase, together with any other repurchases of Common Stock by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries involving a Repurchase Premium concluded within the preceding 12 months, results in the payment by the Company of an aggregate consideration exceeding an amount equal to 10% of the Market Capitalization of the Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate immediately prior to close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price of the Common Stock; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to (a) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock minus (b) the quotient of (i) the aggregate amount of all the Repurchase Premiums paid in connection with such repurchases and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the day next succeeding the date of the repurchase triggering the adjustment, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company;

provided, that no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made to the extent the Conversion Rate is not increased as a result of the above calculation; and provided, further, that the repurchases of Common Stock effected by the Company or its agent in conformity with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will not be included in any adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this Section 8.05(a)(8).

If a payment by the Company shall cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under both clause (7) and clause (8) of this Section 8.05(a), the provisions of Section 8.05(a)(8) shall control.

(b) No Adjustment. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required:

(1) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(2) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase such shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(3) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (2) of this Section 8.05(b) and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(4) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(5) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.05(a):

(A) the Company will not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate in connection with or as a result of the repurchases of its Common Stock executed in connection with the offering of the Notes as described in the Company’s Offering Circular, dated as of July 28, 2005 under the caption “Use of Proceeds”; and

(B) the Company will not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate or to the right of Holders of Notes to convert the Notes as a result of any transaction that otherwise would require adjustment pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 8.05 if the Holders of the Notes (including holders of beneficial interests therein) actually participate in such transaction on an equal and ratable basis.

(c) Increase in Conversion Rate due to Taxes. The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, for the remaining term of the Notes or any shorter term, in addition to those required by clause (a) of this Section 8.05, as the Board of Directors of the Company considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this clause (d) and its actions in so doing shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive.

(d) Temporary Increase in Conversion Rate. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty (20) days, the increase is irrevocable during such period, and the Company’s Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive; provided, however, that no such increase shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 105% of the Conversion Price in connection with an event which would otherwise be a Fundamental Change. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall give notice of the increase to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 13.02, with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(e) Fundamental Change Make-Whole Adjustment. In case of a Fundamental Change, solely upon receipt by the Conversion Agent of any Holder’s Conversion Notice on or subsequent to the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change and prior to the 45^th day following such Effective Date (or, if earlier and to the extent applicable, the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as specified in the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right Notice)), the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes surrendered for conversion by such Holder by the number of Additional Shares determined in accordance with this Section 8.05(e); provided, however that no increase shall be made in the case of a Fundamental Change if at least 90% of the consideration paid for the Common Stock (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights) in such Fundamental Change transaction consists of shares of Capital Stock traded on NYSE or another U.S. national securities exchange or quoted on NASDAQ or another established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States (or that will be so traded or quoted immediately following the transaction) and as a result of such transaction or transactions the Notes become convertible solely into such common stock.

The following table sets forth the hypothetical increase in the Conversion Rate, expressed as a number of Additional Shares issuable per $1,000 initial principal amount of Notes as a result of a Fundamental Change that occurs in the corresponding period:


Fundamental Change	Stock Price
Effective Date	$24.04	$27.50	$30.00	$32.50	$35.00	$40.00	$45.00	$50.00	$55.00	$60.00	$80.00	$100.00	$120.00

The Stock Prices and Additional Share amounts set forth above are based upon a Closing Sale Price of $24.04 on July 28, 2005 and an initial Conversion Price of $31.25. The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table above shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares shall be adjusted in the same manner and for the same events as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 8.05 hereof.

The exact Stock Price and Conversion Dates may not be set forth on the table; in which case, if the Stock Price is:

(A) between two Stock Price amounts on the table or the Conversion Date is between two dates on the table, the number of Additional Shares will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower stock price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(B) more than $120.00 per share (subject to adjustment), no Additional Shares will be issued upon conversion; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note exceed 41.5973 per $1,000 initial principal amount of the Notes, after giving effect to the make whole adjustment and any related increase in the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 8.05(e), subject to anti-dilution adjustments set forth in Section 8.05(a) hereof.

(f) Public Acquirer Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.05, in the case of a Public Acquirer Change of Control, the Company may, in lieu of permitting a repurchase at the Holder’s option or adjusting the Conversion Rate as described in Section 8.05(e) hereof, elect to adjust the Conversion Rate and the related conversion obligation such that from and after the Effective Date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control, Holders of the Notes will be entitled to convert their Notes into a number of shares of Public Acquirer Common Stock by adjusting the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Public Acquirer Change of Control by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which will be (a) in the case of a share exchange, consolidation, merger or binding share exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into cash, securities or other property, the Fair Market Value of all cash and

any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company) paid or payable per share of Common Stock or (b) in the case of any other Public Acquirer Change of Control, the average of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days prior to but excluding the Effective Date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control, and

(B) the denominator of which will be the average of the last reported sale prices of the Public Acquirer Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days prior to but excluding the Effective Date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control.

If the Company elects to adjust the Conversion Rate and conversion obligation as described in this Section 8.05(f), the Company shall send a Fundamental Change Conversion Right Notice to the Holders of Notes at least 15 Trading Days prior to the expected Effective Date of the Fundamental Change that is also a Public Acquirer Change of Control, in accordance with Section 4.15 hereof. If the Company elects to adjust the Conversion Rate and conversion obligation in connection with a Public Acquirer Change of Control, Holder of the Notes shall not have the right to receive Additional Shares pursuant to Section 8.05(e) or to require the Company to repurchase such Notes in connection with the Fundamental Change that is also a Public Acquirer Change of Control.

Section 8.06 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate.

Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof:

(a) The Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 8.05 hereof and shall prepare an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (1) the adjusted Conversion Rate, (2) the clause of Section 8.05 pursuant to which such adjustment has been made, showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, (3) the calculation of such adjustment and (4) the date as of which such adjustment is effective, and such certificate shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with each Conversion Agent; and

(b) upon each such adjustment, a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate shall be required, and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be provided by the Company to all Holders in accordance with Section 13.02. Moreover, upon any determination by the Company, the Conversion Agent or the Trustee that Holders of the Notes are or will be entitled to convert the Notes in accordance with this Section 8.01, the Company will issue a press release and publish the information on its website.

Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or the information and calculations contained therein, except to exhibit the same to any Holder of Notes desiring inspection thereof at its office during normal business hours.

Section 8.07 Notice of Certain Corporate Action.

In case the Company shall:

(a) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock certain rights or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within 60 days of the declaration date for such distribution, Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock; or

(b) distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock the Company’s assets, debt securities or certain rights or warrants to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution has a per

share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the day preceding the declaration date for such distribution;

then the Company shall deliver written notice to the Conversion Agent, and shall deliver or cause its Agents to deliver, to all Holders in accordance with Section 13.02, at least 20 days prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution, a notice of such distribution. At such time notice is given pursuant to this Section 8.06, Holders of Notes that are not otherwise convertible at that time may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day prior to the ex-dividend date or (2) the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place. Holders of Notes may not exercise this right of conversion if they participate in the distribution without conversion.

At any time that the Trustee is not also the Conversion Agent, the Company shall forthwith deliver a copy of any notice required pursuant to this Section 8.06 to the Trustee.

Section 8.08 Cancellation of Converted Notes.

All Definitive Notes delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent to be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.11. Upon conversions of beneficial interests in any Global Note, the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented by such Global Note to reflect the conversion pursuant to Section 2.01(b).

Section 8.09 Provision in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.

Subject to the Section 8.05(f) hereof, in the case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any conveyance, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Note then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Note shall be convertible as specified in Section 8.01, to convert such Note only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale or transfer. The above provisions of this Section 8.09 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances, sales, transfers or leases. Notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each Note as provided in Section 13.02 promptly upon such execution.

Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property or cash receivable by Holders of Notes upon the conversion of their Notes after any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any such adjustment, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee upon request.

Section 8.10 Rights Issued in Respect of Common Stock.

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):

(1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock;

(2) are not exercisable; and

(3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock,

shall not be deemed distributed for purposes of Section 8.05(a)(2) or (4) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that shall have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 8.05(a)(2) or (4), (A) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (B) in the case of any such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired without exercise by any holder thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such issuance had not occurred.

Section 8.11 Responsibility of Trustee and Conversion Agent for Conversion Provisions.

(a) The Conversion Agent will, upon the written request of the Company, determine if the Notes are convertible as a result of satisfaction of the Sale Price Condition and notify the Company and the Trustee. The Conversion Agent will, on behalf of the Company, determine if the Notes are convertible as a result of satisfaction of the Trading Price Condition and notify the Company and the Trustee, which determination shall be confirmed by the Company to the Conversion Agent; provided, however, that the Conversion Agent will have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless the Company shall have requested such determination in writing and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless requested to do so by a Holder of the Notes. At such time, the Company will instruct the Conversion Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price of the Notes is greater than or equal to 95% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock multiplied by the applicable Conversion Rate.

(b) The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, and any Conversion Agent, subject to clause (a) above, shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same, or whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or property or cash, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, nor shall any Conversion Agent be responsible for any failure of the Company to make or calculate any cash

payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article 8.

ARTICLE 9.

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 of Notes:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any other change that does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders;

(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 any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to Article 5 or Article 11 hereof;

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

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

(6) to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Circular dated July 28, 2005, relating to the initial offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees;

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

(8) to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture and/or a notation of Note Guarantee providing a Guarantee of the Notes.

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 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 the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

The consent of the Holders of the Notes will not be necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It will be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.15 hereof), the Notes and the Note Guarantee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) then outstanding 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 (other than a Default in the payment of the principal of, premium or Special Interest, if any, or interest 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 Guarantee 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 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, the Trustee will join with the Company and the Guarantor in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.

It is not be necessary for the consent of 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 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 and the Guarantors with any provision of this Indenture or 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) change the stated Maturity of the principal of, or interest on, any Note;

(2) reduce the principal amount of, or any premium or Special Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note;

(3) reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the Maturity of any Note;

(4) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or any premium or Special Interest, if any, or interest on, any Note;

(5) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, any Note;

(6) modify the subordination provisions of the Notes in a manner adverse to Holders;

(7) modify the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof in a manner adverse to Holders;

(8) adversely affect the right of Holders to convert Notes other than as provided in this Indenture;

(9) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes required for modification or amendment of this Indenture;

(10) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or for waiver of certain Defaults;

(11) reduce the percentage required for the adoption of a resolution or for a quorum required at any meeting of Holders of Notes at which a resolution is adopted; or

(12) modify Section 6.04 or Section 6.07 or any of the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions, except to increase the percentage required for modification or waiver or to provide for consent of each affected Holder of Notes.

Section 9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 9.04 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 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.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver which record date shall be at least 30 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. The Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the fixed record date, if applicable.

Section 9.05 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 9.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The 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. 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, the 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 13.04 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 10.

SUBORDINATION OF NOTES

Section 10.01 Agreement to Subordinate.

The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Obligations evidenced by, and all payments or distributions on or with respect to (including, without limitation, the payment of principal, premium, interest and Special Interest, if any, but excluding those arising under Section 7.07 hereof) the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations in respect of Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt and shall constitute a continuing agreement with all Persons who become holders of Senior Debt.

Each Holder of Notes, by accepting a Note or a Note Guarantee, acknowledges and agrees that the subordination provisions set forth in this Article 10 are, and are intended to be, an inducement and consideration to of Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes or the Note Guarantees, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt, and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on the subordination provisions set forth in this Article 10 in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.

Section 10.02 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Company’s assets and liabilities:

(1) holders of Senior Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash (or in other forms of consideration, if permitted by the applicable Senior Debt Representative) of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt) before the Holders of Notes will be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes (except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain Permitted Junior Securities and payments made from the trust described in Section 12.02 hereof); and

(2) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as provided in clause (1) above) are paid in full in cash (or in other forms of consideration, if permitted by the applicable Senior Debt Representative), any distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for this Article 10 will be made to holders of Senior Debt (except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain Permitted Junior Securities and payments made from the trust described in Section 12.02 hereof), as their interests may appear.

Section 10.03 Default on Designated Senior Debt.

(a) The Company may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Notes and may not acquire from the Trustee or any Holder any Notes for cash or property (other than Permitted Junior Securities) until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash (or in other forms of consideration, if permitted by the applicable Senior Debt Representative) if:

(1) a default in the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, or any other Obligations in respect of, Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing;

(2) any other default occurs and is continuing on any series of Designated Senior Debt and as a result the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated and has not been subsequently rescinded; or

(3) any other default (other than as specified in clauses (1) and (2) above) occurs and is continuing on any series of Designated Senior Debt that permits holders of that series of Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity, and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the holders of such Designated Senior Debt (which may be communicated to the Trustee by the Company).

If the Trustee receives any such Payment Blockage Notice, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice will be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until at least 360 days have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee may be, or may be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days.

(b) The Company may and will resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Notes and may acquire them upon the earlier of:

(1) in the case of a default pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of Section 10.03(a) above, upon the date upon which all amounts of such Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or such default is cured, waived in writing by the Person that issued the Payment Blockage Notice or ceases to exist and any acceleration has been rescinded; and

(2) in the case of a default pursuant to clause (3) of Section 10.03(a) above, upon the earliest of (A) 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, (B) the date on which such non-payment default is terminated by the written notice of the Designated Senior Debt that issued the Payment Blockage Notice, (C) the date upon which all amounts of such Designated Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or (D) the date on which such default is cured, waived in writing by the Person that issued the Payment Blockage Notice or ceases to exist and any acceleration has been rescinded, in each case unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated,

if this Article 10 otherwise permits the payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment or acquisition.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will be permitted to make payment on the Notes if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Senior Debt Representative of the Designated Senior Debt with respect to which the payment default has accrued and is continuing.

Section 10.04 Acceleration of Notes.

If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company will promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration.

Section 10.05 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

In the event that the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes (other than Permitted Junior Securities) at a time when the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such payment is prohibited by this Section 10, such payment will be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, the holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear or their Senior Debt Representative, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in cash in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt.

With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform only those obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article 10, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee will not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and will not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee pays over or distributes to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt are then entitled by virtue of this Article 10, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.

Section 10.06 Notice by Company.

The Company will promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 10, but failure to give such notice will not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Debt as provided in this Article 10.

Section 10.07 Subrogation.

After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders of Notes will be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other indebtedness pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 10 to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Notes.

Section 10.08 Relative Rights.

This Article 10 defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture will:

(1) impair, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium and interest and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with their terms;

(2) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or

(3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes.

If the Company fails because of this Article 10 to pay principal of, premium or interest or Special Interest, if any, on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default.

Section 10.09 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.

(a) No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes may be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Indenture.

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Indenture, the holders of the Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders, and without impairing or releasing the subordination provisions set forth in this Article 10, or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of the Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following:

(1) change in the manner, place, or terms of payment, or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which the Senior Debt is outstanding or secured;

(2) sell, exchange, release, or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged, or otherwise securing the Senior Debt;

(3) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Debt; and

(4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person;

provided, however, that this Section 10.09(b) shall not in any way permit the Company or any Guarantor to take any action otherwise prohibited by this Indenture.

Section 10.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative.

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Senior Debt Representative.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 10, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes will be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Senior Debt Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 10.

Section 10.11 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 10 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee has received at its Corporate Trust Office at least three Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 10. Only the Company or a Senior Debt Representative may give the notice. Nothing in this Article 10 will impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof.

The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

Section 10.12 Authorization to Effect Subordination.

Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 10, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.09 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the Senior Debt Representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 10.13 Amendments.

The provisions of this Article 10 may not be amended or modified without the written consent of the holders of all Senior Debt.

Section 10.14 Payment and Distribution.

For purposes of this Article 10, the term “payment” and/or “distribution” means any payment or distribution (whether direct or indirect, whether in cash, property, securities, or otherwise, and whether obtained or distributed by set-off, liquidation, bankruptcy distribution, settlement, or otherwise) made by any Person (including, without limitation, any payments or distributions made by any court or

governmental body or agency, any trustee in bankruptcy, or any liquidating trustee) with respect to any Note or any Note Guarantees or otherwise under this Indenture, including, without limitation, payment of principal of, or premium or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes or any payments under or with respect to any Note Guarantees, any depositing of funds with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (including, without limitation, a deposit in respect of defeasance or redemption, any payment on account of any optional or mandatory redemptions or repurchase provisions, any payment or recovery on any claim under this Indenture, any Note, any Note Guarantees, or relating to or arising out of the offer, sale, or purchase of any Note (whether for rescission or damages and whether based on contract, tort, duty imposed by law, or any other theory of liability), but excluding those arising under Section 7.07 hereunder); provided that, for the purposes of this Article 10, all Obligations now or hereafter existing under any Senior Debt (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement, any hedging obligations or agreements with respect to the issuance of letters of credit) shall not be deemed to have been paid in full in cash unless:

(1) the holders of such Senior Debt shall have received payment in full in cash of all principal, interest and other Obligations then outstanding and unpaid in respect of such Senior Debt (other than any Obligations for taxes, costs, indemnifications, reimbursements, damages and other liabilities in respect of which no claim or demand for payment has been made at such time);

(2) all commitments to extend credit in respect of such Senior Debt have expired or been terminated; and

(3) all letters of credit issued under such Senior Debt, if any, have been discharged or cash collateralized at the lesser of the amount specified in such document and 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount.

ARTICLE 11.

NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 11.01 Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 11, 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 and Special Interest, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

(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 of the Notes 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 Guarantor, 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 in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders 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 under the Note Guarantee.

Section 11.02 Subordination of Note Guarantees.

The Obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee pursuant to this Article 11 will be junior and subordinated to the Senior Debt of such Guarantor on the same basis as the Notes are junior and subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and the Holders will have the right to receive and/or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive and/or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, including Article 10 hereof.

Each Holder of Notes, by accepting a Note or a Note Guarantee, acknowledges and agrees that the subordination provisions set forth in Article 10 are, and are intended to be, an inducement and consideration to each holder of Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes or the Note Guarantees, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt, and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on the subordination provisions set forth in this Article 10 in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.

The provisions of this Section 11.02, insofar as they relate to the subordination of the Note Guarantees to Senior Debt of the Company, may not be amended or modified without the written consent of the holders of all Senior Debt.

The Obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee pursuant to this Article 11 will be pari passu in right of payment with any future senior subordinated indebtedness of such Guarantor and

senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness that is designated as such by the Company or otherwise contractually subordinated to the Notes.

Section 11.03 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the 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 extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders 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.

Section 11.04 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.

To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D 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 11.01 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 Guarantor.

In the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Domestic Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.18 hereof, the Company will cause such Domestic Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.18 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.

Section 11.05 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.06 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:

(1) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if not such Guarantor) is a corporation or limited liability company organized under the laws of the United States or any of its political subdivisions;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default exists; and

(3) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if not such Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, its Note Guarantee and the Registration Rights Agreement on the terms set forth herein or therein, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

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 satisfactory in form to the 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 Article 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clause (3) above, 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 11.06 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 all of the 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 Subsidiary of the Company, 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 released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee. 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, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture.

(b) Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 11.06 will remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest and premium and Special Interest, if any, on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 11.

ARTICLE 12.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 12.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.

This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all 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 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, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable 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, premium and Special Interest, if any, and accrued interest to the date of Maturity;

(2) no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit described in clause (1)(b) above (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and such 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;

(3) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity.

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to clause (1)(b) of this Section 12.01, the provisions of Section 12.02 and Section 12.04 will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 12.01 will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.07 hereof, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

Section 12.02 Application of Trust Money; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to the provisions of Section 12.04 hereof, all money and Government Securities deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 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 and Special Interest, if any) and interest 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 12.01 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 12.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium or Special Interest, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 12.01 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 12 to the contrary, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 12.01 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance.

Section 12.03 Repayment to the 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 and Special Interest, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium and Special Interest, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall 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, shall 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 12.04 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 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 12.01 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, if any, or interest 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.

Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be ________, 20__.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) and Special Interest, if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the July 1 or January 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and Special Interest, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest and Special Interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium and Special Interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which each hold an aggregate principal amount in excess of $2,000,000 and have provided wire transfer instructions at least 10 Business Days prior to the Interest Payment Date to the Company or the Paying Agent.

A-2

Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

(4) INDENTURE. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of August 2, 2005 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb). The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. The Company does not have the option to redeem the Notes.

(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company will not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the Notes.

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER. Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change the Company will make an offer to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Special Interest on the Notes repurchased, if any, to but not including the date of purchase (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”). Within 30 days following any Fundamental Change, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Fundamental Change, and providing other information regarding the Fundamental Change. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, including the filing of a Schedule TO if required, and will comply with the requirements of any other federal and state securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes by the Company as a result of a Fundamental Change. On the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: (1) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase 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 so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the Fundamental Change Repurchase 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; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Fundamental Change Notice on or as soon as practicable after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if either: (1) the last sale price of the Company’s Common Stock for any five Trading Days during the ten Trading Days immediately preceding the Change of Control is at least equal to 105% of the conversion price in effect on such Trading Days or (2) in the case of a merger or consolidation, all of the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares

A-3

and cash payments pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights) in the merger or consolidation constituting the Change of Control consists of shares of Class A common stock, American Depositary Shares or other certificates representing common Equity Interests traded on a United States national securities exchange or quoted on NASDAQ (or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such Change of Control) and as a result of such transaction or transactions the Notes become convertible solely into such shares of Class A common stock or other certificates representing Equity Interests.

(8) CONVERSION. At the option of the Holder thereof, any portion of the principal amount of any Note that is an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted into fully paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of conversion. Such conversion right shall commence on the initial issuance date of the Notes and expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of Maturity, subject, in the case of conversion of any Global Note, to any Applicable Procedures. The Notes initially will be converted into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $________ per share. The rate at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the “Conversion Rate”) shall be initially __________ shares of Common Stock for each U.S. $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted under the circumstances specified in the Indenture.

(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for conversion or repurchase, except for the unconverted or unrepurchased portion of any Note being converted or repurchased in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date.

(10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

(11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision of the 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 Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in a manner that does not adversely affect the interests of the Holders, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; to provide for a successor Trustee under the Indenture, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes by a successor to the Company in accordance with the provisions in the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to any or all of the Holders of the Notes, to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, to secure the Notes, to increase the Conversion Rate or reduce the Conversion Price, provided that the increase or reduction, as the case may be, is in accordance

The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required upon becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default.

A director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any of the Guarantors, as such, will not have any liability for any obligations of the Company or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Note Guarantee or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

TO BE DELIVERED BY SUBSEQUENT GUARANTORS

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of , 20 , among (the “Guaranteeing Subsidiary”), a subsidiary of FTI Consulting, Inc. (or its permitted successor), a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “Trustee”).

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of August 2, 2005 providing for the issuance of 3¾% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 15, 2012 (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Note Guarantee”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

1. CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

2. AGREEMENT TO GUARANTEE. The Guaranteeing Subsidiary hereby agrees to provide an unconditional Guarantee on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Note Guarantee and in the Indenture including but not limited to Article 11 thereof.

4. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or agent of the Guaranteeing Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guaranteeing Subsidiary under the Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

5. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

6. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

H-1

7. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

8. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Supplemental Indenture to be duly executed and attested, all as of the date first above written.
