If any Indebtedness is incurred under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro forma calculation to the extent that such Indebtedness was incurred solely for working capital purposes.

The Notes

          SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating.

The Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication with respect thereto shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit I to the Appendix, which Exhibit I is hereby incorporated in, and expressly made a part of, this Indenture. The Exchange Notes (if any), the Private Exchange Notes (if any) and any other Notes other than the Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication with respect to any such Exchange Notes, Private Exchange Notes or other Notes shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit II to the Appendix, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, policies or procedures of any applicable depositary, agreements to which the Company or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of the Notes set forth in the Appendix and Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture.

          SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. Notes shall be authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Appendix.

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

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

          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

          SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice.

          The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate the terms of the TIA to the extent such terms are incorporated in this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company incorporated or organized within the United States of America may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

          The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent in connection with the Notes.

          SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. By no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date on which any principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund. 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 funds disbursed by the Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

          SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing 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 Holders.

          SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of this Indenture and Section 8-401(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Note for a period of

15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.

          SECTION 2.07. Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note in replacement thereof if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

          Every such replacement Note is an additional Obligation of the Company.

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

          If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code).

          If the Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a Redemption Date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

          SECTION 2.09. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes and deliver them in exchange for temporary Notes.

          SECTION 2.10. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and destroy (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Trustee to deliver canceled Notes to the

Company. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

          SECTION 2.11. Registered Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the registered Holder of a Note shall be treated as the owner thereof for all purposes, and no transfer of a Note shall be effective unless entered in the register kept by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.03.

          SECTION 2.12. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (in each case if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any CUSIP numbers, ISINs or “Common Code” numbers applicable to the Notes.

          SECTION 2.13. Issuance of Additional Notes. After the Issue Date, the Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.03 and Section 4.10, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture, which Notes shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date, other than with respect to the date of issuance and issue price. All the Notes issued under this Indenture shall be treated as a single class for all purposes of this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.

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

          (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture and the provision of Section 4.03 that the Company is relying on to issue such Additional Notes; and

          (b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP number of such Additional Notes; provided, however, that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to not be fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with any other Notes issued under this Indenture.

          SECTION 2.14. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Company shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail to each

Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

          SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.

(a) The Company shall not and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness unless, on the date of such incurrence and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio exceeds 2.0 to 1.0 (any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03(a) being herein referred to as “Ratio Indebtedness”).

     (vi) Indebtedness owing to and held by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (A) if the Company or the Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Notes Obligations and (B)(1) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being owed to or held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and (2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed, in each case, to

constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by the provisions set forth in this clause (vi);

     (vii) Hedging Obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;

     (viii) Guarantees of the Notes and Guarantees of Indebtedness that was incurred as Ratio Indebtedness or as Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to clause (v) (to the extent the Refinanced Indebtedness was so guaranteed), (vii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xiii), (xv) or (xvi) of this Section 4.03(b); provided, however, that if the Indebtedness being Guaranteed is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or a Notes Guarantee, then such Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Notes Guarantee to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed;

     (ix) Indebtedness constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance or self-insurance, or other Indebtedness with respect to obligations in the nature of reimbursement obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims;

     (xiii) Indebtedness represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money obligations, in each case incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of construction or improvement of property, plant or equipment used or useful in a Related Business (where, in the case of a purchase, such purchase may be effected either directly or through the purchase of the Capital Stock of the Person owning such property, plant or equipment),

and any Indebtedness incurred to Refinance such Indebtedness, in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not in excess of $10,000,000;

          (c) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, incur any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to any Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated to the Notes or the Notes Guarantee of such Guarantor (as applicable) on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or having a junior security interest in shared collateral.

          (d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.03,

     (i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness set forth in Section 4.03(b) or is entitled to be incurred as Ratio Indebtedness, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.03, and such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) shall be treated as having been incurred pursuant to the provisions set forth in only one of such clauses or pursuant to Section 4.03(a); provided, however, that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred as Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(i) and the Notes issued on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred as Permitted Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(ii);

     (ii) the Company shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness set forth above; and

          (e) Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness of the same instrument, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in interest rates or in the exchange rate of currencies shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Indenture. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided, however, that the incurrence of the Indebtedness underlying such Guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was subject to and in compliance with this Section 4.03.

          (f) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness shall be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a currency agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars shall be as provided in such currency agreement. The maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in interest rates or the exchange rate of currencies.

          SECTION 4.04. Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly,

     (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any other distributions of any sort in respect of its Capital Stock (including any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving such Person) or similar payment to the direct or indirect holders of its Capital Stock (other than (A) dividends or distributions payable solely in its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock), (B) dividends or distributions payable solely to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary and (C) pro rata dividends or other distributions made by a Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary to minority stockholders (or owners of

     (ii) purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or make any other acquisition or retirement for value of any Capital Stock of the Company held by any Person (other than by a Restricted Subsidiary) or of any Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary held by any Affiliate of the Company (other than by a Restricted Subsidiary), including in connection with any merger or consolidation and including the exercise of any option to exchange any Capital Stock (other than into Capital Stock of the Company that is not Disqualified Stock);

     (iii) purchase, repurchase, redeem, defease or make any other acquisition or retirement for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment, principal installment or scheduled sinking fund payment of any Subordinated Obligations of the Company or any Guarantor (other than (A) from the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or (B) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement); or

     (iv) make any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) in any Person,

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 4.04(a) being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”) unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

     (B) 100.0% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds or Fair Market Value of any asset (other than cash) received by the Company either (x) from the issuance or sale of its Qualified Capital Stock subsequent to the Issue Date or (y) as a contribution in respect of its Qualified Capital Stock from its shareholders subsequent to the Issue Date, but excluding in each case any Net Cash Proceeds that are used to redeem Notes in accordance with Section 3.07(c); plus

     (C) the amount by which the principal amount of Indebtedness of the Company (other than Indebtedness owing to a Subsidiary) is reduced upon the conversion or exchange subsequent to the Issue Date of any Indebtedness of the Company converted or exchanged for Qualified Capital Stock of the Company (less the amount of any cash, or the fair value of any other property, distributed by the Company upon such conversion or exchange); provided, however, that the foregoing amount shall not exceed the gross proceeds (prior to fees and transaction expenses) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the sale of such Indebtedness (excluding such gross proceeds from sales to a Subsidiary of the Company or to an employee stock ownership or benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); plus

     (D) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of cash and the Fair Market Value of any asset (other than cash) received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date with respect to Investments (other than Permitted Investments) made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any Person subsequent to the Issue Date and resulting from repurchases, repayments, liquidations or redemptions of such Investments by such Person, proceeds realized on the sale of such Investment and proceeds representing the return of capital, and (y) in the event that the Company redesignates an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary, the portion (proportionate to the Company’s equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary, the amount of Investments (excluding Permitted Investments) previously made by the Company

or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person or Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(b) The foregoing provisions shall not prohibit:

     (i) any Restricted Payment made out of the Net Cash Proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, or made in exchange for, Qualified Capital Stock of the Company or a substantially concurrent cash capital contribution received by the Company from its shareholders with respect to its Qualified Capital Stock; provided, however, that (A) such Restricted Payment shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments and (B) the Net Cash Proceeds from such sale or such cash capital contribution (to the extent so used for such Restricted Payment) shall be excluded from the calculation of amounts under Section 4.04(a)(3)(B);

     (vii) cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock of the Company; provided, however, that any such cash payment shall not be for the purpose of evading the limitation of this Section 4.04 (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors); provided further, however, that such payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

     (viii) in the event of a Change of Control, and if no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance, discharge, cash-collateralization or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Obligations of the Company or any Guarantor, in each case, at a purchase price not greater than 101.0% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Obligations, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided, however, that prior to such payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance, discharge, cash-collateralization or other acquisition or retirement, the Company (or a third party to the extent permitted by this Indenture) has made a Change of Control Offer with respect to the Notes as a result of such Change of Control and has repurchased (or deposited with the Trustee funds sufficient to repurchase) all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with such Change of Control Offer; provided further, however, that such payments, purchases, redemptions, defeasances, discharges, cash-collateralizations or other acquisitions or retirements shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

     (ix) payments of intercompany subordinated Permitted Indebtedness, the incurrence of which was permitted by Section 4.03(b)(vi); provided, however, with respect to payments other than to the Company or a Guarantor, that no Default has occurred and is continuing or would otherwise result therefrom; provided further, however, that such payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payment; or

     (x) other Restricted Payments in an amount which, when taken together with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (x), does not exceed $225,000,000; provided, however, that such Restricted Payment shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments.

          (c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the assets (other than cash) proposed to be transferred. In the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions set forth in clauses (i) through (x) of Section 4.04(b) or is permitted to be made by Section 4.04(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, may divide and classify such Restricted Payment in any manner that complies with this Section 4.04.

          SECTION 4.05. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

     (i) (A) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries on its Capital Stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or (B) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries,

     (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries, or

     (iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries,

except, in each case, for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

     (1) this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents;

     (2) agreements existing on the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Issue Date, including the Credit Agreement;

     (3) applicable law;

     (4) any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired; provided, however, that, in the case of an instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of this Indenture to be incurred;

     (5) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;

     (6) purchase money obligations for property or assets acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions of the nature set forth in clause (iii) of this Section 4.05 on the property or assets so acquired;

     (7) any encumbrance or restriction in an agreement effecting a Refinancing of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (1), (2) or (4) of this Section 4.05 or this clause (7) or contained in any amendment to an agreement enumerated in such clause (1), (2) or (4) or this clause (7); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such refinancing agreement or amendment are not materially less favorable to the Company (as determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable and good faith judgment) than encumbrances and restrictions contained in such predecessor agreements;

     (8) the requirements of any Permitted Securitization that are exclusively applicable to any bankruptcy remote Special Purpose Subsidiary formed in connection therewith;

     (9) the requirements of any Standard Securitization Undertakings;

     (10) in the case of clause (iii) of this Section 4.05, restrictions contained in security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such restrictions restrict the transfer of the property subject to the Liens created thereby, or to the extent not constituting Collateral, the Capital Stock of the Person whose assets consist, directly or indirectly, primarily of the real property securing such

Indebtedness; provided, however, that such Liens were otherwise permitted to be incurred under this Indenture;

     (11) restrictions with respect to any Investment imposed in connection with the making of such Investment;

     (12) any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or disposition; or

     (13) assignment provisions and provisions with respect to the distribution of assets or property or joint venture or partnership interests in joint venture or partnership agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business that are customary for such agreements; provided, however, that such provisions in the aggregate, in the opinion of the management of the Company, do not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to make principal or interest payments on the Notes.

          SECTION 4.06. Limitation on Asset Sales. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:

     (i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of;

     (ii) at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that, for purposes of the provisions set forth in this clause (ii) and for no other purpose, the amount of (1) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee thereof) that are (x) secured by such assets on a basis that is prior to or ratable with the Notes or (y) that are unsecured so long as the subject assets do not constitute Collateral, that are, in either case, assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability, (2) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days of receipt, to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received and (3) the

Fair Market Value of any property or assets received (including any Capital Stock of any Person that shall be a Restricted Subsidiary following receipt thereof) that are used or useful in any Related Business (provided, however, that, except for Excluded Property, to the extent that the assets or rights disposed of in such Asset Sale constituted Collateral, such property or assets are pledged as Collateral under the Security Documents substantially contemporaneously with such receipt) shall be deemed to be cash;

     (iii) to the extent of any Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from an Asset Sale:

     (1) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may use such Net Cash Proceeds (A) to prepay or otherwise pay or repay, purchase, redeem, defease, discharge, cash-collateralize or otherwise acquire or retire any Credit Facility Indebtedness and Permitted Future Secured Indebtedness then outstanding or any other Indebtedness secured by a Permitted Collateral Lien or (B) to acquire property or assets that, upon acquisition thereof, constitute Collateral;

     (2) any of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iii)(3) and not already used as permitted by Section 4.06(a)(iii)(1) may be applied by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary within 365 days of receipt thereof as follows:

     (x) to prepay or otherwise pay or repay, purchase, redeem, defease, discharge, cash-collateralize or otherwise acquire or retire any Credit Facility Indebtedness or prepay or otherwise pay or repay, purchase, redeem, defease, discharge, cash-collateralize or otherwise acquire or retire other Indebtedness of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries;

     (y) to make an investment in Replacement Assets; or

     (z) to make a combination of prepayment or other payment or repayment, purchase, redemption, defeasance, discharge, cash-collateralization or other acquisition or retirement and investment permitted by the provisions set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y); and

     (3) if such Asset Sale resulted in the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from a disposition of Collateral (x) such Net Cash Proceeds shall, to the extent of the amount, if any, thereof in

excess of the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale applied as set forth in the immediately-preceding clauses (1) and (2), be delivered promptly to the Trustee for application in accordance with the provisions set forth in the immediately-succeeding clause (y) and (y) an Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date shall be deemed to have occurred and the Company shall be required to make an Asset Sale Offer with such Net Cash Proceeds delivered to the Trustee in accordance with this Section 4.06; and

     (iv) if such Asset Sale involves a disposition of Collateral by the Company or a Guarantor, at the time of such Asset Sale and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the Collateral Coverage Ratio would equal or exceed 1.25 to 1.0.

          (b) On (i) in the case of Net Cash Proceeds to which Section 4.06(a)(iii)(2) applies, the 366th day after receipt thereof or (ii) in the case of Net Cash Proceeds to which Section 4.06(a)(iii)(3) applies, the date on which an Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date is deemed to have occurred (each, an “Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been applied on or before such Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date as permitted or as required by Section 4.06(a) (such amount being “Excess Proceeds”), shall be applied by the Company or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries to make an offer to purchase (the “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders on a date not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders on a pro rata basis, that amount of Notes equal to the applicable Excess Proceeds (minus any federal, state, provincial, foreign and local taxes payable as a result of the transfer or deemed transfer of funds from the entity that made the Asset Sale to the entity that is making such Asset Sale Offer) at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase; provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then, solely for purposes of the definition of Net Cash Proceeds, such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale, and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06 governing the application of the Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale. If Holders do not tender Notes in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to the applicable Excess Proceeds for purchase in connection with any Asset Sale Offer, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may use the portion of the Excess Proceeds not used to purchase Notes for any purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the Excess Proceeds shall be reduced by the amount of the Asset Sale Offer. Notwithstanding the occurrence of an Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may defer the Asset Sale Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Excess Proceeds of at least $25,000,000 resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which time, the entire unutilized Excess Proceeds, and not

just the amount in excess of $25,000,000, shall be applied as required pursuant to this Section 4.06).

          If the date on which a Note is purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest on that Note shall be paid to the Person that was, at the close of business on such record date, the Holder of that Note, and no additional interest for the period to which that interest record date relates shall be payable, with respect to that Note, to the Person who tendered that Note pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

          (c) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety in a transaction permitted under Section 5.01 to a Person who assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(ii), which transaction does not constitute a Change of Control, such Person shall be deemed to have consummated an Asset Sale of the properties and assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such properties and assets and such Person shall be deemed to have received Net Cash Proceeds therefrom in an amount equal to such Fair Market Value and shall be required to apply cash in such amount in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06 governing the application of the Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale as if such cash constituted Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale; provided, however, that such Person shall not be deemed to have consummated an Asset Sale with respect to (A) any Hedging Obligations not so transferred and (B) any properties and assets as to which such deemed Asset Sale would consist of an actual or deemed surrender or waiver of contract rights or a settlement, release or surrender of contract, tort or other claims of any kind; provided further, however, that such Person shall not be deemed to have consummated an Asset Sale except to the extent that the properties and assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred, excluding properties and assets set forth in the immediately-preceding clauses (A) and (B), exceed $10,000,000 in Fair Market Value.

          (d) Each Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 30 days following the Asset Sale Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. Upon receiving notice of the Asset Sale Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders properly tender Notes in an amount exceeding the Excess Proceeds, the tendered Notes shall be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Notes tendered. An Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 business days or such longer period as may be required by law.

          The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or

regulations conflict with the requirements of this Section 4.06, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such covenant by virtue thereof.

          (e) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, sell, convey, transfer, lease, assign or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral other than in accordance with the Security Documents.

          SECTION 4.07. Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into, or be a party to, any transaction or series of related transactions with any Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), except for Affiliate Transactions:

     (i) pursuant to terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate (“Arm’s Length Terms”); or

     (ii) (1) involving aggregate consideration less than or equal to $15,000,000 and on Arm’s Length Terms,

     (2) involving aggregate consideration in an amount less than or equal to $30,000,000 and determined by the disinterested members of the Board of Directors to be on Arm’s Length Terms, or

     (3) where the Board of Directors has received a written opinion from an Independent Qualified Party to the effect that the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or constitute Arm’s Length Terms.

(b) Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to the following:

     (A) any employment, consulting, service, indemnification, termination or severance agreement or compensation plan or arrangement entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and the transactions customarily provided for by any such agreement, plan or arrangement;

     (B) reasonable compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including retirement, health, stock option and other benefit plans and transactions contemplated thereby) for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

     (C) transactions between or among the Company and/or any Restricted Subsidiaries;

     (D) any transaction with any non-Affiliate that becomes an Affiliate as a result of such transaction;

     (E) (x) any agreement existing on the Issue Date, as in effect on the Issue Date, or as modified, amended, amended and restated, supplemented or replaced so long as the terms of such agreement as modified, amended, amended and restated, supplemented or replaced, taken as a whole, are not materially more disadvantageous to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, than the terms of such agreement as in effect on the Issue Date, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, and (y) any transaction contemplated by any such agreement;

     (F) loans or advances to employees or consultants in the ordinary course of business or approved by the Board of Directors, but in any event not to exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate outstanding at any one time, and cancellation or forgiveness or modification of the terms of such loans or advances;

     (G) the issuance or sale of any Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company;

     (H) (x) the making of dealer loans, and the effecting of transactions with respect to such dealer loans, in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same basis as that on which the Company and its Subsidiaries make dealer loans to non-Affiliate dealer-partners and engage in transactions with respect to such dealer loans, and (y) other transactions with customers, clients, joint-venture partners, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business, which are fair to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Company or are on terms not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries than might reasonably have been obtained from a non-Affiliate;

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

     (J) the transfer of Dealer Loans or Purchased Contracts and trust certificates issued to evidence the residual interest in Dealer

Loan Pools or Purchased Contracts or outright purchases of Installment Contracts, and the participation therein, and related rights and assets in connection with any Permitted Securitization, and any other transaction effected in the ordinary course as part of a Permitted Securitization;

     (K) the making of any Restricted Payment permitted pursuant to Section 4.04;

     (L) the provision of management, financial and operational services by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to Unrestricted Subsidiaries or joint ventures on terms that are determined by the Board of Directors to be fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;

     (M) any transaction with an Affiliate where the only consideration paid by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consists of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company; and

     (N) any transaction between a Special Purpose Subsidiary and any Person that is an Affiliate of such Special Purpose Subsidiary solely because such Special Purpose Subsidiary directly or indirectly owns Equity Interests in, or controls, such Affiliate.

          SECTION 4.08. Limitation on Line of Business. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than Related Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

          SECTION 4.09. Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Notes pursuant to the offer set forth below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at an offer price equal to 101.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such Holder’s Notes to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to but excluding the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder and to the Trustee (for the purposes of notice) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by this Indenture and set forth in such notice. If the Change of Control Payment Date with respect to a Note is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest on that Note shall be paid to the Person that was, at the close of business on such record date, the Holder of that Note, and the Change of Control Payment with respect to that Note for the

period to which that interest record date relates shall not include accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control.

          (b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, (i) accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and (iii) 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 thereof being purchased by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and the Trustee shall 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, however, that each such new Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

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

          SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind upon any of their assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, other than:

     (i) in the case of any asset that does not constitute Collateral, Permitted Liens; provided, however, that any Lien on such asset shall be permitted notwithstanding that it is not a Permitted Lien if all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien; and

     (ii) in the case of any asset that constitutes Collateral, Permitted Collateral Liens.

          In the case of the proviso in clause (i) of this Section 4.10, if the obligations so secured are expressly subordinated by their terms to the Notes, the Lien securing such obligations shall also be so subordinated by its terms at least to the same extent.

          SECTION 4.11. Additional Guarantors. If any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor issues a Guarantee of, or grants a security interest in any of its assets to secure, any Obligations secured by the Collateral, then the Company shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to:

     (i) execute and deliver a supplemental indenture providing for such Restricted Subsidiary’s Notes Guarantee on the terms set forth in Article X and execute and deliver such documentation mutatis mutandis with respect to collateral as shall be necessary to provide for Liens on such Restricted Subsidiary’s assets constituting Collateral to secure such Notes Guarantee on the terms set forth in the Security Documents and Article X; and

     (ii) deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel that such Notes Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, in each case subject to customary qualifications.

          Thereafter, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture until released from its Notes Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture.

          SECTION 4.12. Impairment of Security Interest. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, take, or knowingly omit to take, any action, which action or omission would have the effect of causing a Lien to be created in favor of any of the Secured Creditors other than the Notes Secured Creditors on any property or assets of the type that would constitute Collateral unless a Lien exists or is created in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Creditors with respect to such property or assets. Such Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Secured Creditors shall at all times be in accordance with any applicable provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.12(a),

     (i) the Capital Stock and other securities of any Subsidiary of the Company that are owned by the Company or any Guarantor and that otherwise constitute Collateral shall constitute Collateral for the benefit of the Notes Secured Creditors only to the extent that such Capital Stock and other securities can secure the Notes without Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (or any other law, rule or regulation) (“Rule 3-16”) requiring separate financial statements of such Subsidiary to be filed with the SEC (or any other governmental agency);

     (ii) in the event that Rule 3-16 requires or is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would

require) the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of the Company due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock and other securities secure the Notes, the performance of the Notes Obligations or any Notes Guarantee, then the Capital Stock and other securities of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral for the benefit of the Notes Secured Creditors, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement (and, in such event, the Security Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder of the Notes, to the extent necessary to release the first-priority security interests in the shares of Capital Stock and other securities that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral); and

     (iii) in the event that Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock and other securities to secure the Notes in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the Capital Stock and other securities of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral for the benefit of the Notes Secured Creditors but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement (and, in such event, the Security Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder of the Notes, to the extent necessary to subject to the Liens under the Security Documents such additional Capital Stock and other securities).

          (c) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, take, or knowingly omit to take, any action that would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral (it being understood that Permitted Securitizations, Restricted Payments permitted under Section 4.04, Asset Sales permitted under Section 4.06, other dispositions of assets in the ordinary course of business and the incurrence of Permitted Collateral Liens will be deemed not to materially impair the security with respect to the Collateral) for the benefit of the Notes Secured Creditors, and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, grant to any person other than the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, any interest whatsoever in any of the Collateral, except that the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Permitted Collateral Liens, and the Collateral and the Liens thereon may be discharged and released in accordance with this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

          SECTION 4.13. Limitation on Investment Company Status. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not take any action, or otherwise permit to exist any circumstances, that would require the Company to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          SECTION 4.14. Maintenance of Financial Ratios. The Company shall:

     (i) maintain, as of the end of each fiscal quarter, a Funded Debt Ratio that does not exceed 3.25 to 1.0;

     (ii) maintain, at all times, a Collateral Coverage Ratio that equals or exceeds 1.25 to 1.0; and

     (iii) (x) provide to the Trustee, within (A) 45 days after and as of the end of each fiscal quarter, excluding the last quarter, of each fiscal year and (B) within 90 days after and as of the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate substantially similar in detail to that which is required to be provided to the lenders under the Credit Agreement attesting to compliance with the maintenance requirements described in clauses (i) and (ii) above at the end of or during such fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as applicable, and (y) either make such certificate publicly available on the Company’s website or publicly file such certificate with the SEC via the ▇▇▇▇▇ filing system or any successor electronic filing system.

          SECTION 4.15. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

     (viii) except as permitted by this Indenture, any Notes Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, or the Notes Guarantees of a group of Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, is held in a judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Notes Guarantee;

     (ix) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

     (A) commences a voluntary case;

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

     (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property and assets; or

     (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

          SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clauses (ix) and (x) of Section 6.01(a), all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or

the Notes except as provided in this Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

          In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in clause (vi) of Section 6.01(a) has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to such clause (vi) shall be remedied or cured by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto.

          SECTION 6.03. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture except (i) a continuing Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on or the principal of, the Notes or (ii) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02(b) cannot be amended or waived without consent of the Holders of at least 66²/₃% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding.

          SECTION 6.04. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or 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 in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

          SECTION 6.05. Compliance Certificate. (a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers’ Certificate (for which one of the certifying Officers shall be the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer) stating that in the course of the performance by the signers of their duties as Officers of the Company they would normally have knowledge of any Default and whether or not the signers know of any Default that occurred during such period. If they do, the certificate shall describe the Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

          (b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (iii), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (xi) of Section 6.01(a) and any event which

with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (v) of Section 6.01(a), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

          (c) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after an Officer becomes aware of the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event which with the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (iv) of Section 6.01(a), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

          SECTION 6.06. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

          SECTION 6.07. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

     (a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

     (b) the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of the Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

     (c) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

          A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. In the event that Definitive Notes are not issued to any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at a time at which such beneficial owner has a right to receive such Definitive Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Company expressly agrees and acknowledges that (1) such beneficial owner shall have standing to pursue a remedy pursuant to this Indenture to

compel the issuance of such Definitive Notes to such beneficial owner and to compel the registration of such Definitive Notes in the name of such beneficial owner in the register maintained by the Registrar with respect to the Notes and (2) such beneficial owner shall be entitled, pending such issuance and registration, to ▇▇▇ for payment (which payment shall only be made following such issuance and registration) of the monetary obligation to be represented by such Definitive Notes. The Company agrees that specific performance is an appropriate form for the remedy referenced in clause (1) of the immediately-preceding sentence and shall not object to such form of such remedy.

          SECTION 6.08. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

          SECTION 6.09. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 6.01(a) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

          SECTION 6.10. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Guarantor, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07.

          SECTION 6.11. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

          FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

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

     THIRD: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

          The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section 6.11. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

          SECTION 6.12. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.08 or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

          SECTION 6.13. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE VII

Trustee

          SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct his own affairs.

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

     (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

     (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to

determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

     (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section;

     (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

     (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.06.

          (g) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

          (h) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section and to the provisions of the TIA.

          SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

          (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

          (c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

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

          (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holder of Notes, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

          (g) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except (i) during any period it is serving as Registrar and Paying Agent for the Notes, any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(i) and 6.1(a)(ii), or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which a Trust Officer shall have (x) received written notification at the office of the Trustee specified in Section 12.02 and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture or (y) obtained “actual knowledge.” “Actual knowledge” shall mean the actual fact or statement of knowing by a Trust Officer without independent investigation with respect thereto.

          (h) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

          (i) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

          SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. (a) The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with, the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

          (b) Notwithstanding Section 7.03(a), if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as described in the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days; if this Indenture has been qualified under the TIA, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee under this Indenture; or resign.

          SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall 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, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

          SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs, is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is not opposed to the interests of the Holders.

          SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. As promptly as practicable after each February 1 beginning with the February 1 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to April 1 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of February 1 that complies with TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b).

          SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

          To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and premium, if any, or interest on particular Notes.

          The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of

a Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(ix) or (x) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

          SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company.

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

          (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

          (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

          (d) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

          If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the Holders of 10.0% in principal amount of the Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

          SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust

business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

          In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

          SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA § 310(a). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.

          SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights and immunities of the Trustee and rights of registration or transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes and Notes Guarantees when:

(i) either:

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

     (2) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (a) have become due and payable, (b) shall become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year or (c) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient or Government Securities, the principal of and interest on which shall be sufficient, or a combination thereof sufficient, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

     (ii) the Company has paid all other sums payable under this Indenture by the Company; and

     (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

          SECTION 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. (a) Subject to Sections 8.02(b) and 8.03, the Company at any time may terminate (1) all its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (“Legal Defeasance”) or (2) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 6.05 and the operation of Sections 6.01(a)(iv), 6.01(a)(v), 6.01(a)(vi), 6.01(a)(vii), 6.01(a)(viii), 6.01(a)(ix), 6.01(a)(x) and 6.01(a)(xi) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(a)(ix) and 6.01(a)(x), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) and the limitations contained in Section 5.01(a)(iv) (“Covenant Defeasance”). The Company may exercise a Legal Defeasance notwithstanding its prior exercise of Covenant Defeasance.

          If the Company exercises a Legal Defeasance, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Company exercises a Covenant Defeasance, payment of the Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(iv), 6.01(a)(v), 6.01(a)(vi), 6.01(a)(vii), 6.01(a)(viii), 6.01(a)(ix), 6.01(a)(x) or 6.01(a)(xi) (but, in the case of Sections 6.01(a)(ix) and 6.01(a)(x), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01(a)(iv). If the

Company exercises a Legal Defeasance or a Covenant Defeasance, each Guarantor, if any, shall be simultaneously released from all its obligations with respect to its Notes Guarantee and the Security Documents.

          Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those obligations that the Company terminates.

          (b) Notwithstanding Sections 8.01 and 8.02(a), the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.09, 7.07 and 7.08 and in this Article VIII shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full. Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.06 and 8.07 shall survive.

          SECTION 8.03. Conditions to Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

     (i) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity date or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular Redemption Date;

     (ii) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, (1) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (2) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

     (iii) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

     (iv) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

     (v) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

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

     (vii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions), each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

          Before or after a deposit, the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Notes at a future date in accordance with Article III.

          SECTION 8.04. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or Government Securities deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Securities through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.

          SECTION 8.05. Repayment to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Company upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time.

          Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors.

          SECTION 8.06. Indemnity for Government Securities. The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed on the Trustee in its capacity as such against deposited Government Securities or the principal and interest received on such Government Securities.

          SECTION 8.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with this Article VIII 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 each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, each Guarantee and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Securities in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if the Company has made any payment of premium, if any, or interest on or principal of 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.

ARTICLE IX

          SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Article IX or Section 6.03, this Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Notes may be amended or supplemented (or a waiver may be granted with respect to any default or noncompliance with any provision thereof) with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

          (c) The consent of the Holders is not necessary under this Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

          SECTION 9.03. Notice of Amendments. After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

          SECTION 9.04. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA, other than, to the

extent this Indenture has not been qualified under the TIA, TIA § 314(d) and TIA § 314(b) or any successor provisions thereto, as then in effect.

          SECTION 9.05. Revocation and Effect of Consents and Waivers. (a) A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or waiver as to such Holder’s Note or portion of the Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee.

          (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action set forth above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately-preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date.

          SECTION 9.06. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

          SECTION 9.07. Trustee To Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment the Trustee shall be entitled to receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

ARTICLE X

Guarantees

          SECTION 10.01. Guarantees. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the "Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

          Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Guarantor) under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) except as set forth in Section 10.06, any change in the ownership of such Guarantor.

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

          Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01, 10.02 and 10.06, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

          Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

          In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum (without duplication) of (A) the unpaid principal amount, including any premium thereon to the extent such premium has become due and payable, of such Guaranteed Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (C) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.

          Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of such Guarantor’s Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VI, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.

          Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) properly incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section.

          SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Liability. Each Guarantor and, by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Notes 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, state, provincial, foreign or local law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee and the such Guarantor’s Notes Guarantee otherwise be limited to the maximum amount that can be guaranteed under applicable laws. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the obligations of each Guarantor under its Notes Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that can be guaranteed under applicable laws, including Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state, provincial, foreign or local law, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws. The Notes Guarantees shall provide that, in the event of default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes (including any obligation to repurchase the Notes), the Trustee may, subject, in the case of enforcing against any Collateral, to the Intercreditor Agreement, institute legal proceedings directly against the relevant Guarantor without first proceeding against the Company.

          SECTION 10.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article X shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

          SECTION 10.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article X shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article X at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

          SECTION 10.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article X, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

          SECTION 10.06. Release of Guarantor. A Guarantor’s Notes Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and such Guarantor shall be deemed to be released from all obligations under this Article X:

     (a) upon the sale (including any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies by a holder of Indebtedness of the Company or of such Guarantor) or other

disposition of such Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation or sale of its Capital Stock),

     (b) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor (other than by lease),

     (c) upon the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture,

     (d) at such time as such Guarantor does not have any Indebtedness outstanding that would have required such Guarantor to enter into a Notes Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.11 and the Company provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee certifying that no such Indebtedness is outstanding and that the Company elects to have such Guarantor released from its obligations under this Article X, or

     (e) upon exercise by the Company of its option to elect Covenant Defeasance or Legal Defeasance pursuant to Article VIII, or

     (f) upon the discharge of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture;

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 10.06, (i) such sale or other disposition is made to a Person other than the Company, a Restricted Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates and (ii) such sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by this Indenture.

At the request of the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.

          SECTION 10.07. Contribution. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Notes Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

          SECTION 10.08. Non-Impairment. The failure to endorse a Notes Guarantee on any Note shall not affect or impair the validity of such Notes Guarantee.

ARTICLE XI

Security Documents

          SECTION 11.01. Collateral and Security Documents. (a) To secure the due and punctual payment of the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Indenture and the Notes and the Notes Guarantees, the Company, the Guarantors, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee have entered into the Security Documents providing for

the creation of specified security interests and related matters. The Trustee and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee and the other parties entitled to the benefit of the security provided under the Security Documents pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, no security interest or Lien is granted by the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or the Notes Guarantees.

          (b) Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to all of the terms and provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to perform their respective obligations and exercise their respective rights under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance therewith; provided, however, that if any provisions of the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement limit, qualify or conflict with the duties imposed by the provisions of the TIA (other than TIA § 314(d) and TIA § 314(b), which shall not be applicable to this Indenture unless it is qualified under the TIA), the TIA (other than TIA § 314(d) and TIA § 314(b), which shall not be applicable to this Indenture unless it is qualified under the TIA) will control.

          (c) As among the Holders, the Collateral shall be held for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders without preference, priority or distinction of any thereof over any other.

          SECTION 11.02. Release of Collateral. The Liens created by the Security Documents on the Collateral shall be automatically released, without the need for any further action by any Person, and will no longer secure the Notes or the Notes Guarantees or any other Obligations under this Indenture, and the right of the Holders and holders of such other Obligations to the benefits and proceeds of such Liens will terminate and be discharged:

     (a) upon the release of any Person that is a Guarantor from its obligations under Article X, as to the Collateral owned by such Person;

     (b) as to all property and assets subject to such Liens, upon satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01;

     (c) as to all property and assets subject to such Liens, upon the occurrence of a Legal Defeasance or a Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article VIII;

     (d) as to any property or assets that are the subject of an Asset Sale or other disposition (to a Person other than the Company or any Guarantor) not prohibited by Section 4.06, at the time of such disposition;

     (e) as to any property or assets that are or become Excluded Property;

     (f) as to any property or assets that are subject to a Permitted Collateral Lien to the extent that applicable law or the terms of such Permitted Collateral Lien (or the terms of the Indebtedness secured thereby) do not permit such property or assets to be subject to the Liens created under the Security Documents; provided, however, that (i) the proceeds (as such term is defined in Article or Section 9 of the UCC (as defined in the Security Agreement)) of any such property or assets shall continue to be deemed to be “Collateral” and (ii) this provision shall not require the release of any Lien on or assignment of any such property or asset to the extent that the UCC (as defined in the Security Agreement) or any other applicable law provides that such grant of Lien or assignment is effective irrespective of any prohibitions to such grant provided in any applicable law or the terms of such Permitted Collateral Lien (or the terms of the Indebtedness secured thereby); provided further, however, that, unless the senior notes secured parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) are the only Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the Lien on such property or assets shall only be released to the extent it is released from the Lien created under the Security Documents in favor of each of the other Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in their capacity as such;

     (g) as to any property or assets that are the subject of a disposition in connection with a Permitted Securitization, at the time of such disposition; and

     (h) in whole or in part as to the property and assets subject to such Liens, with the consent of the Holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes in accordance with Article IX.

In addition, Collateral may be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. At the request of the Company (which request shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate) for a confirmation, acknowledgement or other documentation requested by the Company to evidence the release of Liens or Collateral in accordance with this Section 11.02, at the Company’s and Guarantors’ expense, the Trustee shall promptly take all necessary actions to execute and/or deliver such confirmation, acknowledgement or other documentation so requested by the Company. The release of any Collateral from the Lien of the Security Documents or the release, in whole or in part, of the Liens created by the Security Documents, shall not be deemed to impair the Lien on the Collateral in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture if and to the extent the Collateral or Liens are released in accordance with the terms of the applicable Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Article XI.

          SECTION 11.03. Certificates and Opinions. On or before February 1 of each year, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate either stating that such action has been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and re-filing of this Indenture and the Security Documents (including financing statements or other instruments) as is necessary to maintain the security interest intended to be created

thereby for the benefit of the Holders, and reciting the details of such action, or stating that no such action is necessary to maintain such Lien. To the extent that this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, any certificate or opinion required by TIA § 314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Company except in cases where TIA § 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person shall be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected or reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors shall not be required to comply with all or any portion of TIA § 314(d) if they determine, in good faith, that, under the terms of TIA § 314(d) and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof by the SEC and its staff, including “no action” letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of TIA § 314(d) is inapplicable to the released Collateral.

          SECTION 11.04. Use of Trust Monies. To the extent received by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Indenture, the Security Documents or otherwise, all Trust Monies shall be held by the Trustee as a part of the Collateral securing the Notes and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall either (i) be released as contemplated by Section 4.06 if such Trust Monies represent Net Cash Proceeds or (ii) to the extent not required to be applied pursuant to such covenant, at the direction of the Company be applied by the Trustee from time to time to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes at maturity or upon redemption or retirement, or to the purchase of Notes upon tender or in the open market or otherwise, in each case in compliance with the Indenture. The Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may also withdraw Trust Monies constituting net insurance proceeds to repair or replace the relevant Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. The Trustee shall be entitled to apply any Trust Monies to cure any Event of Default. Trust Monies deposited with the Trustee shall be invested in Cash Equivalents pursuant to the direction of the Company and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall be entitled to any interest or dividends accrued, earned or paid on such Cash Equivalents.

     2. The Notes.

          2.1 (a) Form and Dating. The Initial Notes will be offered and sold by the Company pursuant to a Purchase Agreement. The Initial Notes will be resold initially only to (i) QIBs in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) and (ii) Persons other than U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S) in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”). Initial Notes may thereafter be transferred to, among others and QIBs and purchasers in reliance on Regulation S, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein. Initial Notes initially resold pursuant to Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Notes in definitive, fully registered form ( “Rule 144A Global Notes”); and Initial Notes initially resold pursuant to Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more temporary global securities in fully registered form (“Temporary Regulation S Global Notes”), in each case without interest coupons and with the global securities legend and the applicable Restrictive Legends, which shall be deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the Initial Notes represented thereby with the Notes Custodian and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the Indenture. Except as set forth in this Section 2.1(a), beneficial ownership interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note will not be exchangeable for interests in Rule 144A Global Notes, permanent Regulation S global Notes (“Permanent Regulation S Global Notes” and, together with Temporary Regulation S Global Notes, “Regulation S Global Notes”) or any other Note prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period and then, after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, may be exchanged for

interests in a Rule 144A Global Note or a Permanent Regulation S Global Note only upon certification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee that beneficial ownership interests in such Temporary Regulation S Global Note are owned either by non-U.S. persons or U.S. persons who purchased such interests in a transaction that did not require registration under the Securities Act.

          Beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note may be exchanged for interests in Rule 144A Global Notes if (1) such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer of Notes in compliance with Rule 144A and (2) the transferor of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit III) to the effect that the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Note is being transferred to a Person (a) who the transferor reasonably believes to be a QIB, (b) purchasing for its own account or the account of a QIB in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, and (c) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the States of the United States and other jurisdictions.

          Beneficial interests in a Rule 144A Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, only if the transferor first delivers to the Trustee a written certificate (in the form provided in the Indenture) to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S or Rule 144 (if applicable).

          Rule 144A Global Notes, Temporary Regulation S Global Notes and Permanent Regulation S Global Notes are collectively referred to herein as “Restricted Global Notes.” Any other Notes in global form, without Restrictive Legends, are collectively referred to herein as “Unrestricted Global Notes” (together with Restricted Global Notes, “Global Notes”). The aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the Depository or its nominee as hereinafter provided.

          (b) Book-Entry Provisions. This Section 2.1(b) shall apply only to a Global Note deposited with or on behalf of the Depository.

          The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section 2.1(b), authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Notes that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depository for such Global Note or Global Notes or the nominee of such Depository and (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository’s instructions or held by the Trustee as custodian for the Depository.

          Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or by the Trustee as the custodian of the Depository or under such Global Note, and the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the Depository as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all

purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of such Depository governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Note.

          (c) Definitive Notes. Except as provided in this Section 2.1 of this Appendix or Section 2.3 or 2.4 of this Appendix, owners of beneficial interests in Global Notes shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Notes.

     2.2 Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (1) on the Issue Date, an aggregate principal amount of $225,000,000 9.125% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2017, (2) any Additional Notes for an original issue in an aggregate principal amount specified in the written order of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.2, (3) Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes for issue only in a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange, respectively, pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, for a like principal amount of Initial Notes and (4) any other Notes issued after the Issue Date in replacement of or exchange for any Note in like principal amount (any such Notes, “Replacement Notes”), in each case upon a written order of the Company signed by an Officer. Such order shall specify the amount of the Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and, in the case of any issuance of Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Indenture, shall certify that such issuance is in compliance with Section 4.03 of the Indenture.

          2.3 Transfer and Exchange. (a) Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes. When Definitive Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request:

     (x) to register the transfer of such Definitive Notes; or

     (y) to exchange such Definitive Notes for an equal principal amount of Definitive Notes of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Definitive Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange:

          (i) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

          (ii) if such Definitive Notes are required to bear a restricted securities legend, they are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 2.3(b) of this Appendix or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

     (A) if such Definitive Notes are being delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or

     (B) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or

     (C) if such Definitive Notes are being transferred (x) pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144A, Regulation S or Rule 144 under the Securities Act; or (y) in reliance upon another exemption from the requirements of the Securities Act: (i) a certification to that effect (in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i) of this Appendix.

          (b) Restrictions on Transfer of a Definitive Note for a Beneficial Interest in a Restricted Global Note.

     (i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note, that such Definitive Note is either (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) being transferred after expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period by a Person who initially purchased such Note in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Note in the form of a beneficial interest in the Permanent Regulation S Global Note; and

specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled. If no Rule 144A Global Notes or Permanent Regulation S Global Notes, as applicable, are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company, a new Rule 144A Global Note or Permanent Regulation S Global Note, as applicable, in the appropriate principal amount.

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.

     (i) The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depository, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depository therefor. A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial interest in the Global Note. The Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions instruct the Depository to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer of the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.

     (ii) If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred. Upon such transfer, the beneficial interest in such first-referenced Global Note shall cease to be an interest in such Global Note and shall become an interest in such other Global Note.

     (iii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4 of this Appendix), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository.

     (iv) In the event that a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes under Section 2.4 of this Appendix, prior to the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness

of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Notes, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

          (d) Restrictions on Transfer of Temporary Regulation S Global Notes. During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in Temporary Regulation S Global Notes may only be sold, pledged or transferred in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (i) to the Company, (ii) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S (other than a transaction resulting in an exchange for an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note), (iii) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any State of the United States.

     (ii) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Note that is a Definitive Note pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Registrar shall permit the transferee thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Note for a certificated Note that does not bear the legend set forth above and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Note, if the transferor thereof certifies in writing to the Registrar that such sale or transfer was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note).

     (iii) After a transfer of any Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes pursuant to and during the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, all requirements pertaining to legends on such Initial Note or such Private Exchange Note will cease to apply, the requirements requiring any such Initial Note or such Private Exchange Note issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will cease to apply, and a certificated Initial Note or Private Exchange Note or an Initial Note or Private Exchange Note in the form of an Unrestricted

Global Note, in each case without Restrictive Legends, will be available to the transferee of the Holder of such Initial Notes or Private Exchange Notes upon exchange of such transferring Holder’s certificated Initial Note or Private Exchange Note or directions to transfer such Holder’s interest in the Global Note, as applicable.

     (iv) Upon the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial Notes, all requirements pertaining to such Initial Notes that Initial Notes issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will still apply with respect to Holders of such Initial Notes that do not exchange their Initial Notes, and Exchange Notes in certificated form or in the form of an Unrestricted Global Note, in each case without the Restrictive Legends, will be available to Holders that exchange such Initial Notes in such Registered Exchange Offer.

     (v) At the option of the Company and upon compliance with the following procedures, the beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note shall be exchanged for beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note, without the Restrictive Legends. In order to effect such exchange, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to (i) direct the Depository to transfer the specified amount of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Restricted Global Note to an Unrestricted Global Note and provide the Depository with all such information as is necessary for the Depository to appropriately credit and debit the relevant Holder accounts and (ii) provide prior written notice to all Holders of such exchange through the Depository or its nominee, which notice must include the date such exchange is proposed to occur, the CUSIP number of the relevant Restricted Global Note and the CUSIP number of the Unrestricted Global Note into which such Holders’ beneficial interests will be exchanged. As a condition to any such exchange pursuant to this Section 2.3(e)(v), the Trustee shall be entitled to receive from the Company, and rely conclusively without any liability, upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transfer of beneficial interests to the Unrestricted Global Note shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act. The Company may request from Holders, and Holders shall promptly provide, such information the Company reasonably determines is required in order to be able to deliver such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. Upon such exchange of beneficial interests pursuant to this Section 2.3(e)(v), the Registrar shall endorse the “schedule of increases and decreases in global note” to the relevant Global Notes and reflect on its books and records the date of such transfer and a decrease and increase, respectively, in the principal amount of the applicable Restricted Global Note(s) and Unrestricted Global Notes, respectively, equal to the principal amount of beneficial interests transferred. Following any such transfer pursuant to

this Section 2.3(e)(v) of all of the beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Note, such Restricted Global Note shall be cancelled.

     (vi) Upon the consummation of a Private Exchange with respect to the Initial Notes, all requirements pertaining to such Initial Notes that Initial Notes issued to certain Holders be issued in global form will still apply with respect to Holders of such Initial Notes that do not exchange their Initial Notes, and Private Exchange Notes in global form with the applicable Restrictive Legends and other applicable legends set forth in Section 2.3(e)(i) of this Appendix will be available to Holders that exchange such Initial Notes in such Private Exchange.

          (f) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Note. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Note have either been exchanged for Definitive Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, such Global Note shall be returned to the Depository for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for certificated Notes, redeemed, purchased or canceled, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee (if it is then the Notes Custodian for such Global Note) with respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Notes Custodian, to reflect such reduction.

(g) No Obligation of the Trustee.

     (i) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in the Depository or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice (including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depository. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

     (ii) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of

any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depository participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements of the Indenture.

          2.4 Definitive Notes. (a) A Global Note deposited with the Depository or with the Trustee as Notes Custodian for the Depository pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Appendix shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Note, in exchange for such Global Note, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.3 of this Appendix and (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Note and the Depository fails to appoint a successor depository or if at any time such Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act, in either case, and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 120 days of such notice, or (ii) the Depository so requests and an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (iii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Notes under the Indenture.

          (b) Any Global Note that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee located at its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any portion of a Global Note transferred pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. Any Definitive Note delivered in exchange for an interest in the Transfer Restricted Note shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.3(e) of this Appendix, bear the applicable Restrictive Legends and the Definitive Note Legend, unless the Company determines otherwise in compliance with applicable law.

          (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(b) of this Appendix, the registered Holder of a Global Note shall be entitled to grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

          (d) In the event of the occurrence of one of the events specified in Section 2.4(a) of this Appendix, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Notes in definitive, fully registered form

without interest coupons. In the event that Definitive Notes are not issued to any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note at a time at which such beneficial owner has a right to receive such Definitive Notes pursuant to the Indenture, the Company expressly agrees and acknowledges that (1) such beneficial owner shall have standing to pursue a remedy pursuant to the Indenture to compel the issuance of such Definitive Notes to such beneficial owner and to compel the registration of such Definitive Notes in the name of such beneficial owner in the register maintained by the Registrar with respect to the Notes and (2) such beneficial owner shall be entitled, pending such issuance and registration, to ▇▇▇ for payment (which payment shall only be made following such issuance and registration) of the monetary obligation to be represented by such Definitive Notes. The Company agrees that specific performance is an appropriate form for the remedy referenced in clause (1) of the immediately-preceding sentence and shall not object to such form of such remedy.

9.125% First Priority Senior Secured Note due 2017

1. Interest

     Credit Acceptance Corporation, a Michigan corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the "Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above[; provided, however, that if a Registration Default (as defined in the Applicable Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in paragraph 20 of this Note)) occurs, additional interest will accrue on this Note at a rate of 0.25% per annum (increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum after each consecutive 90-day period that occurs after the date on which such Registration Default occurs up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00%) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. Within a reasonable amount of time following the occurrence of a Registration Default, the Company will provide notice to the Trustee of such Registration Default]¹. The Company will pay interest on the Notes semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2010. 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 February 1 or August 1 (whichever is more recent) next preceding the interest payment date (or, in the case of any Additional Notes as to which no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance of such Additional Notes). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Note, and it will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. Method of Payment

     The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 15 or August 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York or, at the option of

the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes; provided, however, that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Company will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Until otherwise designated by the Company, the Company’s office or agency in the City and State of New York will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, which shall initially be ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Corporate Trust Department. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Company will make all payments in respect of a certificated Note (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a certificated Note will be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion).

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

     Initially, the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. The Company or any Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company incorporated or organized within the United States of America may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4. Indenture, Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreement

     The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of February 1, 2010 (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 (15 U.S.C. §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Act”). Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture (including those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Act, if any), the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

     The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Sections 4.03 and 4.10 of the Indenture, to issue Additional Notes pursuant to Section 2.13 of the Indenture. The Initial Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes, Exchange Notes, Private Exchange Notes and Replacement Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants (i) that impose certain limitations on the ability of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other

things, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; pay dividends or distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, capital stock; make investments; engage in transactions with Affiliates; create liens on assets; transfer or sell assets; guarantee indebtedness; and restrict dividends or other payments of subsidiaries; (ii) that impose certain limitations on the ability of the Company and each Guarantor to consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; and (iii) that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.

     To secure the due and punctual payment of the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Indenture and the Notes and the Notes Guarantees, the Company, the Guarantors, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee have entered into the Security Documents providing for the creation of specified security interests and related matters.

     Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.

15. Trustee Dealings with the Company

     Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act and the Indenture, the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with, the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

16. No Recourse Against Others

     No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of the Company, and no director, trustee, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of any Subsidiary of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, any Notes Guarantee [, the Applicable Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in paragraph 20 of this Note)] ² or the Security Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

9.125% First Priority Senior Secured Note due 2017

1. Interest

     Credit Acceptance Corporation, a Michigan corporation (such corporation, and its successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above[; provided, however, that if a Registration Default (as defined in the Applicable Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in paragraph 20 of this Note)) occurs, additional interest will accrue on this Note at a rate of 0.25% per annum (increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum after each consecutive 90-day period that occurs after the date on which such Registration Default occurs up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.00%) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. Within a reasonable amount of time following the occurrence of a Registration Default, the Company will provide notice to the Trustee of such Registration Default]⁵. The Company will pay interest on the Notes semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2010. 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 February 1 or August 1 (whichever is more recent) next preceding the interest payment date (or, in the case of any Additional Notes as to which no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance of such Additional Notes). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company will pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by this Note, and it will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. Method of Payment

     The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the January 15 or August 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Principal, premium, if

any, and interest on the Notes will be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders of Notes; provided, however, that all payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions to the Company will be required to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof. Until otherwise designated by the Company, the Company’s office or agency in the City and State of New York will be the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose, which shall initially be ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Corporate Trust Department.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar

Terms defined in the Indenture and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of those terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture (including those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Act, if any), the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

Private Exchange Notes and Replacement Notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture.

Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to all of the terms and provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to perform their respective obligations and exercise their respective rights under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance therewith; provided, however, that if any provisions of the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement limit, qualify or conflict with the duties imposed by the provisions of the TIA, the TIA (other than TIA § 314(d) and TIA § 314(b) (which shall not be applicable to this Indenture unless it is qualified under the TIA)) will control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, no security interest or Lien is granted by the provisions of the Indenture, the Notes or the Notes Guarantees.

     The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder to, among other things, furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company shall not be required to transfer or exchange, and the Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange, of any Note selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Note to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Note not to be redeemed) or any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or 15 days before an interest payment date.

10. Persons Deemed Owners

     The registered Holder of this Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

11. Unclaimed Money

     If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.

12. Discharge and Defeasance

     Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time shall be entitled to terminate some or all of its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or Government Securities for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.

13. Amendment, Waiver

     Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (a) the Indenture, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Notes may be amended or supplemented (and waivers granted with respect to any provisions thereof) with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (b) any default or noncompliance with any provision thereof may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of any Holder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code); to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the obligations of the Company or a Guarantor to Holders under the Indenture in the case of a merger or consolidation; to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder; to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act; to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the Indenture of a successor trustee; to add one or more Guarantors under this Indenture; to add any additional assets to the Collateral; to release Collateral from the Lien of the Security Documents when permitted or required by this Indenture and the Security Documents; to conform the text of this Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantee to any provision of the section of the Offering Circular entitled “Description of Notes” to the extent that such provision in the section of the Offering Circular entitled “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Notes or such Guarantee; as necessary to conform the Indenture to any exemptive orders under the Trust Indenture Act received by the Company or any Guarantor; or to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes; provided, however, that (1) compliance with the Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (2) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes.

14. Defaults and Remedies

     Under the Indenture and subject to the terms of the Indenture, Events of Default include: (i) default in the payment when due of interest on the Notes, which default continues for 30 consecutive days; (ii) default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes when due, at Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase or otherwise; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with other agreements in the Indenture or the Notes, in certain cases subject to notice or lapse of time; (iv) certain accelerations (including failure to pay within any grace period after

final maturity) of other Indebtedness of the Company if the amount accelerated (or so unpaid) exceeds $25 million; (v) certain judgments or decrees for the payment of money in excess of $25 million; (vi) certain defaults with respect to the Notes Guarantees; (vii) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary and (viii) certain defaults relating to the Collateral under the Security Documents. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency are Events of Default which will result in the Notes being due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of such Events of Default.

     Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the Holders.

15. Trustee Dealings with the Company

     Subject to certain limitations imposed by the Act and the Indenture, the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may become a creditor of, or otherwise deal with, the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

16. No Recourse Against Others

     No director, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder of the Company, and no director, trustee, officer, employee, incorporator or shareholder (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) of any Subsidiary of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, any Notes Guarantee [, the Applicable Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in paragraph 20 of this Note)] ⁶ or the Security Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and release all such liability. This waiver and release shall be part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

19. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs etc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[    ] principal amount of the 9.125% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) of Credit Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”).

     Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:

Name:
Address:
Taxpayer ID Number:

     The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

     1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Notes, and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our

business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

     2. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes prior to the date that is two years after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (i) to the Company, (ii) in the United States to a person whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, (iii) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is an institutional accredited investor purchasing for its own account or for the account of an institutional accredited investor, in each case in a minimum principal amount of the Notes of $250,000, (iv) outside the United States in a transaction complying with the provisions of Rule 904 under the Securities Act, (v) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if available) or (vi) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each of cases (i) through (vi) subject to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Notes is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (iii) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Company and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Notes for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Notes pursuant to clause (iii), (iv) or (v) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.
