(b)           Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, each Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Issuer, any Guarantor, the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(d)           All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

SECTION 2.08. Replacement Notes. (a)  In the event that any Note shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Issuer will execute and, upon the request of the Issuer, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver a replacement Note of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal principal amount, registered in the same manner, and bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on such Note, in exchange and substitution for such Note (upon surrender and cancellation thereof) or in lieu of and substitution for such Note. In the event that such Note is destroyed, lost or stolen, the applicant for a replacement Note shall furnish the Issuer and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by the Issuer or the Trustee, as the case may be, to hold it harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft of such Note, the applicant shall also furnish the Issuer and the Trustee satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any replacement Note, the Issuer may require the payment by the registered Holder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Subject to Section 11.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer, a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor holds the Note.

(b)           If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.

14

(c)           If a 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 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 2.10. Temporary Notes. In the event that Definitive Notes are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer 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 Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Notes upon surrender of such temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer, without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Notes.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.

The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the Issuer shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date to be fixed by the Trustee not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date fixed by the Issuer for payment of the defaulted interest. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each affected Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (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, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.

15

SECTION 2.14. Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes outstanding at such date of determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes, the Holders of which have so consented by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 11.06 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be made by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officers’ Certificate.

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating 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. On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuer has deposited with the paying agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) on, the Notes to be redeemed.

The subsequent filing with the Trustee and, if applicable, the Commission of any report required by this Section 4.02 shall be deemed to automatically cure any Default of event of Default resulting from the failure to file such report within the time period required.

(e)           If at any time any direct or indirect parent of the Issuer is a Guarantor of the Notes and has filed with the Trustee and, if applicable, the Commission the reports required to be filed and furnished to Holders pursuant to this Section 4.02 with respect to such parent (including any financial information required by Regulation S-X promulgated by the Commission by virtue of such Guarantee), the Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.02.

SECTION 4.03. Future Guarantors. (a)  The Issuer shall cause each wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Issuer that Guarantees the obligations of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement or the Bridge Loan, within 30 days of guaranteeing the obligations of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement or the Bridge Loan, as the case may be, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such wholly-owned Domestic

(f)            Liens (x) evidencing the sale, securitization, syndication or financing of any real estate receivables and mortgage notes and related security in connection with Permitted Receivables Financings, in each case so long as such Liens extend solely to the assets being sold, securitized or syndicated thereunder or (y) on any assets that (A) fall within any Specified Asset Category or (B) are owned by any Specified Subsidiary.

If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the corporate trust office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 11.02.

(b)           The Issuer may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for such purposes.

(v)           that Holders electing to have a portion of a Note purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer may elect to have such Note purchased in integral multiples of $1,000;

SECTION 4.09. Notice of Additional Interest, Interest Adjustments and Registered Exchange Offer.

In the event that the Issuer is required to pay Additional Interest to Holders of Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer will provide written notice to the Trustee of its obligation to pay Additional Interest no later than fifteen days prior to the proposed payment date for the Additional Interest, and such notice shall set forth the amount of Additional Interest to be paid by the Issuer on such payment date.

(i)            the Person acquiring the assets of a Guarantor in any such sale or other disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, (such Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Guarantor”) and the Successor Guarantor (if other than the Guarantor) expressly assumes pursuant to a supplemental indenture, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of such Guarantor under such Guarantor’s Guarantee and this Indenture;

(ii)           immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(iii)          any Successor Guarantor (if other than such Guarantor) shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with this Indenture.

The Successor Guarantor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, such Guarantor under this Indenture and such Guarantor’s Guarantee, and such Guarantor shall automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee. After assuming the obligations of such Guarantor, the Successor Guarantor will have all the rights, powers and obligations of the Guarantor under this Indenture and such Guarantor shall be automatically released and discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and its Guarantee without any further action required by any party other than as expressly set forth in this Indenture.

(c)           Notwithstanding Section 5.01(b), a Subsidiary Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate or merge with or into, another Person without complying with the provisions of this Section 5.01 so long as the Guarantee of the Guarantor would be permitted to be released in connection with such transaction in accordance with the provisions of Article 10.02(b).

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. The following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” with respect to the Notes:

(a)           a default in the payment of the principal of any Note after any such principal becomes due in accordance with the terms thereof, upon redemption or otherwise; or default in the payment of any interest in respect of any Note if such default continues for 30 days after such interest becomes due in accordance with the terms thereof;

25

(b)           the failure by the Issuer, or any Guarantor, to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the Notes or this Indenture, and such failure continues for 90 days after notice, by registered or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes issued pursuant to this Indenture, specifying such failure and requiring such failure to be remedied and stating that such notice constitutes a notice of default under this Indenture (except in the case of a default with respect to payments when due of any amount set forth in Section 4.07, which will constitute an Event of Default with such notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement);

(c)           the failure by the Issuer, or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, to perform any term or provision of any evidence of Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Significant Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, or any other condition shall occur, and as a result of the occurrence of which default or condition any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary in an amount in excess of $100,000,000 shall become or be declared to be due and payable, or the Issuer, or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, shall be obligated to purchase any such Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, in each case, prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due and payable, or any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an amount in excess of $100,000,000 shall not be paid when due at its stated maturity;

(d)           a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction under any Bankruptcy Law shall have been entered adjudging the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of or by the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction under any Bankruptcy Law for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or for the liquidation or dissolution of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, shall have been entered, and such decree or order shall have continued undischarged and unstayed for a period of 60 days; provided, however, that any Significant Subsidiary may be liquidated or dissolved if, pursuant to such liquidation or dissolution, all or substantially all of its assets are transferred to the Issuer or another Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer;

(e)           the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer shall institute any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law to be adjudicated as voluntarily bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a proceeding against it under any Bankruptcy Law, or shall file a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization, or shall consent to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment under any Bankruptcy Law of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or its property; or

(f)            any Guarantee shall cease to be in full force and effect (unless such Guarantee has been released in accordance with this Indenture).

26

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default specified in section 6.01(d) or 6.01(e) occurs, the maturity of all outstanding Notes shall automatically be accelerated and the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be immediately due and payable.

In the event any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding may, by written notice to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), declare the principal amount of the Notes, together with accrued interest thereon, immediately due and payable. The right of the Holders to give such acceleration notice shall terminate if the event giving rise to such right shall have been cured before such right is exercised. Any declaration may be annulled and rescinded by written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding to the Issuer if all amounts then due with respect to the Notes are paid (other than amounts due solely because of such declaration) and all other Defaults with respect to the Notes are cured or waived.

Should the Issuer fail to comply with its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and such failure shall be continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected by an event of default shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes, to the extent such action does not conflict with the provisions of this Indenture or applicable law.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of 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 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder,

27

except a Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder; provided that, subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind any acceleration and its consequences including any related payment default that result from such acceleration. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and shall cease to exist and the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding 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 any other Holder or that would subject the Trustee to personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. (a)  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:

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

(ii)           Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy,

(iii)          such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense,

(iv)          the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and

(v)           the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

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

SECTION 6.07. Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for 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.

28

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in 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 Issuer or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer or any Guarantor, their creditors or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters 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 compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, 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 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 Issuer 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. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail or electronically transmit to each Holder and the Issuer a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

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

29

party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes.

SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Each of the Issuer and each Guarantor agrees (to the extent it may lawfully do so) not to 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 Issuer and each Guarantor (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 7

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 its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

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

(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, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c)           The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

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

(f)            The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or document unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of making or not making such inquiry or investigation.

31

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

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, any Guarantee or the Notes, it shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer or any Guarantor 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. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(b), (c), or (f) or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee shall have received notice thereof in accordance with Section 11.02 hereof from the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Holder.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Notes and if it is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail or electronically transmit to each Holder of the Notes notice of the Default within the earlier of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, 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 in the interests of the Holders.

32

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to the Holders. As promptly as practicable after each August 1 beginning with the August 1 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event prior to October 1 in each year, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such August 1 that complies with Section 313(a) of the TIA if and to the extent required thereby. The Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b) of the TIA and shall transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be filed with the Commission (if the Issuer is required to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act) and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes are listed. The Issuer agrees to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as the parties shall agree to from time to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer 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 Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or Guarantee against the Issuer or a Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuer, any Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The Trustee shall notify the Issuer of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer or any Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and the indemnified parties shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuer’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense; and provided, further, that the Issuer shall in no event be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (and one local counsel in each jurisdiction where such local counsel is required) for all such indemnified parties. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

To secure the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ 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 interest on particular Notes.

33

The Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any Bankruptcy Law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or (e) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. (a)  The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

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

(ii)           the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

(iv)          the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

(b)           If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Issuer or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such Holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

(c)           A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. 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 the 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.

(d)           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% in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Issuer any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e)           If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in Section 310(b) of the TIA, any Holder who has been a bona fide Noteholder for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f)            Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

34

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 Section 310(a) of the TIA. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA, subject to its right to apply for a stay of its duty to resign under the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA any series of securities issued under this Indenture and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuer is outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met.

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

ARTICLE 8

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance. (a)  This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes and the obligations under this Indenture with respect to the Holders of the Notes when:

(i)            either (a) all the Notes theretofore authenticated under this Indenture and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which 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 Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all of the Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation under this Indenture have become due

35

and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise or shall become due and payable within one year, and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds, Government Obligations or a combination thereof, sufficient without reinvestment 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 redemption or maturity, together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuer directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof to the date of redemption or maturity, as the case may be;

(ii)           the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable by the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes (except for any indemnification obligations thereafter owing to the Trustee); and

(b)           Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Issuer at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture with respect to the Notes, and all of the obligations of the Guarantors (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) (A) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.07, 4.08 (except with respect to the existence of the Issuer) and 5.01 for the benefit of the Notes, (B) the applicability of Section 6.01(b) to any failure to comply with any of the foregoing covenants and (C) and the operation of Section 6.01(c) for the benefit of the Notes (“covenant defeasance option”).

In the event that the Issuer terminates its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture by exercising its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations.

The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, subject to Section 8.02, the Issuer and Guarantors shall be deemed to have discharged all of their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees, no Notes and Guarantees shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” and payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following provisions shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(i)            the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to Section 8.02;

(ii)           the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the issuance of Temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

36

(iii)          the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the  Issuer’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(iv)          this Section 8.01.

If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, the Issuers and Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.07, 4.08 (except with respect to the existence of the Issuer) and 5.01 for the benefit of the Notes and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not outstanding for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that the Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). Covenant defeasance means that the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein or in any other document, and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01. In addition, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 8.02, if the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, Section 6.01(c) shall cease to apply and shall no longer constitute an Event of Default.

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

SECTION 8.02. Conditions to Defeasance. (a)  The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

(i)            the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holder of the Notes, cash in U.S. Dollars, Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without reinvestment, in the opinion of an internationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants chosen by the Issuer, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;

(ii)           in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from counsel in the United States (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) and independent of the Issuer to the effect that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) 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 state 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;

37

(iii)          in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States (subject to customary exceptions and exclusions) to the effect that 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 or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the deposit pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(i) (other than a default or Event of Default arising in connection with the grant of any Lien securing a borrowing of funds to be applicable to such deposit); and

(v)           The Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article 8 have been complied with.

(b)           Before or after a deposit, the Issuer may make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of such Notes at a future date in accordance with Article 3.

SECTION 8.03. Application of Trust Money. Subject to Section 8.04, the Trustee shall hold in trust money or Government Obligations (including proceeds thereof) deposited with it pursuant to this Article 8. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from Government Obligations through each Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes so discharged or defeased.

SECTION 8.04. Repayment to the Issuer. Each of the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall promptly turn over to the Issuer upon request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article which, in the written opinion of nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm of independent public accountants chosen by the Issuer, delivered to the Trustee (which opinion shall only be required if Government Obligations have been so deposited), are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent discharge or defeasance in accordance with this Article.

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuer upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuer for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

SECTION 8.05. Indemnity for Government Obligations. The Issuer shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such Government Obligations.

38

SECTION 8.06. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes so discharged or defeased shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 8 until such time as the Trustee or any Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or Government Obligations in accordance with this Article 8; provided, however, that, if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any such Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Obligations held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of the Holders. The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees without notice to or consent of any Holder to:

(iv)          add a Guarantor or release a Guarantor from its obligations under a Guarantee or this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

(ix)           provide for the appointment of a successor trustee (provided that the successor trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture);

39

(x)            provide for the issuance of Exchange Notes which shall have terms identical in all material respects to the Notes exchanged therefor (except that the transfer restrictions contained in such notes shall be modified or eliminated as appropriate and that no Additional Interest shall be payable in respect thereof) and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding Notes, as a single class of securities; or

(xi)           after the Issuer’s obligation to purchase Notes arises under Section 4.07, amend, change or modify in any material respect its obligation to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event or, after such Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto.

After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.01.

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of the Holders. (a)  The Issuer and the Trustee may amend this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange for the Notes) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange for, the Notes). However, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, an amendment may not:

(i)            change any installment of interest with respect to the Notes or reduce the principal amount of or interest with respect to any Note,

(ii)           change cash prices at which the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer,

(iii)          change the currency in which, or change the required place at which, payment with respect to principal of or interest with respect to the Notes is payable,

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

A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of Notes given in connection with a tender of the Holder’s Notes shall not be rendered invalid by such tender.

40

(b)           After an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected by such amendment or supplement a notice briefly describing such amendment or supplement. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment or supplement under this Section 9.02.

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, every amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04. 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 on which the consent or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder. An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon the (i) receipt by the Issuer or the Trustee of consents by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of securities, (ii) satisfaction of conditions to effectiveness as set forth in this Indenture and any indenture supplemental hereto containing such amendment or waiver and (iii) execution of such amendment or waiver (or supplemental indenture) by the Issuer and the Trustee.

(b)           The Issuer 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 described 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 unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.

SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Issuer 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 Issuer or the Trustee so determines, the Issuer 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, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does adversely affect such rights, duties, liabilities or immunities, 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 shall be provided with, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected

41

in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel shall be required to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.

SECTION 9.07. Payment for Consent. The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiaries of the Issuer to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indentures or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

SECTION 9.08. Additional Voting Terms; Calculation of Principal Amount. Except as expressly provided in this Indenture, including under Section 9.02, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote) as one class. Determinations as to whether Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent shall be made in accordance with this Article Nine and Section 2.14.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEES

SECTION 10.01. Guarantees. (a)  Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety on a senior basis, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (i) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture (including obligations to the Trustee) and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on and in respect of the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes and (ii) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Issuer, whether for fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise 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 each such Guarantor, and that each such Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 10 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b)           Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer 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 (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy

42

against the Issuer or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes, or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any Guarantor; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Guarantor, except as provided in Section 10.02(b).

(c)           Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Guarantors, such that such Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuer or any other Guarantor first be used and depleted as payment of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuer be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor.

(d)           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.

(e)           Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 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 any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(f)            Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. 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 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 Issuer or otherwise.

(g)           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 Issuer to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation

43

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 of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuer to the Holders and the Trustee.

(h)           Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. 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 guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any 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 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 10.01.

(i)            Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

(j)            Upon request of the Trustee, each Guarantor 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.

SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Liability; Release. (a)  Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable Bankruptcy Laws or laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(b)           A Guarantee as to any Guarantor shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Guarantor shall automatically and unconditionally be deemed to be released from all of its obligations under this Indenture:

(i)            in the case of the Foreign Initial Guarantor, if the Foreign Initial Guarantor ceases to guarantee the obligations of the Issuer under the Bridge Loan;

(ii)           in the case of any other Guarantor, if the Guarantor ceases to guarantee the obligations of the Issuer under the Credit Agreement and the Bridge Loan; and

(iii)          in the case of all Guarantors, upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the notes in accordance with Section 8.01(b).

44

SECTION 10.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article 10 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 10 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 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 10.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article 10, 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. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors. Each Person which is required to become a Guarantor after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in the form of Appendix B hereto pursuant to which such Person shall become a Guarantor under this Article 10 and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Person and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms and/or to such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

SECTION 10.07. Subrogation.

Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders of the Notes against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

45

SECTION 10.08. Benefits Acknowledged.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 10.09. Indemnification of Judgment Currency.

Each Foreign Guarantor shall indemnify the Trustee and any Holder of a Note against any loss incurred by the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due under this Indenture or such Note and being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars, and as a result of any variation between (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the spot rate of exchange in New York City at which the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, on the date of payment of such judgment or order and is able to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Trustee or such Holder. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Section 10.09, in the event that the amount of U.S. dollars purchased by any Holder as a result of such indemnification exceeds the amount originally to be paid to such Holder, such Holder shall reimburse such excess to such Foreign Guarantor. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Foreign Guarantor and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “spot rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, U.S. dollars.

Following any such issuance, any such Definitive Note may be transferred to a Person who may take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Note provided that all applicable requirements of this Section 2.3 in respect of such transfer shall be complied with in connection with such transfer.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL NOTE OR ADDITIONAL NOTE]

6.300% Senior Notes due 2017

1.             Interest

Capmark Financial Group Inc., a Nevada corporation (such Person, and its respective successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being herein called the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum of 6.300% (the “initial interest rate”), which initial interest rate shall be subject to adjustment as set forth below. The Issuer shall also pay Additional Interest to the extent and with respect to such periods, if any, as such Additional Interest is payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Issuer shall pay interest (which, as used in this Note, shall also refer to Additional Interest to the extent payable) semiannually in arrears on May 10 and November 10 of each year, commencing November 10, 2007. Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Issue Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and in the case of any partial month, the actual number of days elapsed in such partial month.

The interest rate payable on this Note will be subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the Notes as set forth below.

If the rating from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on this Note shall increase from the initial interest rate by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:

If the rating from S&P is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on this Note shall increase from the initial interest rate set forth above by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:

6

If Moody’s or S&P subsequently increases its rating of the Notes to any of the ratings set forth above, the interest rate on this Note will be decreased such that the interest rate for this Note equals the initial interest rate set forth above plus (if applicable) the percentage set forth opposite the ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase. Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for this Note be reduced to below the initial interest rate set forth above, or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on this Note by virtue of the adjustments described above exceed 2.00% above the initial interest rate set forth above.

The interest rate on this Note shall permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above if the Notes become rated Baa2 or higher by Moody’s and BBB or higher by S&P, with a stable or positive or equivalent outlook by each.

If either Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide a rating, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of this Note necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the interest rate of this Note shall be made solely as a result of Moody’s or S&P ceasing to provide a rating of the Notes. If both Moody’s and S&P cease to provide a rating of the Notes, the interest rate on this Note will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the initial interest rate set forth above.

Any interest rate increase or decrease, as described above, will take effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate.

2.             Method of Payment

The Issuer shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders of Notes at the close of business on the April 25 or October 25 next preceding the interest payment date even if Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before the interest payment date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depository. The Issuer shall make all payments in respect of a Definitive Note (including principal, premium and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof; provided, however, that payments on a Definitive Note shall 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

7

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, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Trustee”) shall act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar.

4.             Indenture

The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated as of May 10, 2007 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, 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 “TIA”). 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 TIA for a statement of those terms.

The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Issuer and consist of the 6.300% Senior Notes due 2017 issued on the Issue Date and any additional Notes that may be issued after the Issue Date. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and the Guarantors to create liens to secure Indebtedness and to consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their respective assets. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications.

5.             Optional Redemption

The Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to (A) the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (2) the sum of the present values (as determined by the Independent Investment Banker and as notified to the Trustee) of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points, plus (B) accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed.

As used in this Section 5:
