“Unrestricted Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary of the Company so designated by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof as provided below; provided, that (a) the holders of Indebtedness thereof do not have direct or indirect recourse against the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, and neither the Company, the Issuer nor any Restricted Subsidiary otherwise has liability for, any payment obligations in respect of such Indebtedness (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness), except, in each case, to the extent that the amount thereof constitutes a Restricted Payment permitted by the Indenture, in the case of Non-Recourse Indebtedness, to the extent such recourse or liability is for the matters discussed in the last sentence of the definition of “Non-Recourse Indebtedness,” or to the extent such Indebtedness is a guarantee by such Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Company, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary and (b) no holder of any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall have a right to declare a default on such Indebtedness or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its stated maturity as a result of a default on any Indebtedness of the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary. As of the Issue Date, the Unrestricted Subsidiaries will be the subsidiaries of the Company named in Exhibit J hereto.

Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof may designate any Subsidiary in addition to those named above to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (a) the net amount (the “Designation Amount”) then outstanding of all previous Investments by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary will be deemed to be a Restricted Payment at the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07

29

hereof to the extent provided therein, (b) the Company must be permitted under Section 4.07 hereof to make the Restricted Payment deemed to have been made pursuant to clause (a), and (c) after giving effect to such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing.

The Board of Directors of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof may also redesignate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (a) the Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as of the date of such redesignation could then be incurred under Section 4.06 hereof and (b) immediately after giving effect to such redesignation and the incurrence of any such additional Indebtedness, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under Section 4.06(a) hereof.

(c)                                  (i)                                     If the Issuer determines (upon the advice of counsel and after consideration of other certifications and evidence as the Issuer may reasonably require) that a Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without being subject to any conditions as provided in such Rule and that the Restricted Legend is no longer necessary or appropriate in order to ensure that subsequent transfers of the Note (or a beneficial interest therein) are effected in compliance with the Securities Act, or

(ii)                                  after an Initial Note is

(A)                              sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, filed pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise, or

(B)                                is validly tendered for an Exchange Note pursuant to an Exchange Offer

then, the Issuer may instruct the Trustee to cancel the Note and issue to the Holder thereof (or to its transferee) a new Note of like tenor and amount, registered in the name of the Holder thereof (or its transferee), that does not bear the Restricted Legend, and the Trustee will comply with such instruction.

(d)                       By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Restricted Legend (or any beneficial interest in such a Note), each Holder thereof and each owner of a beneficial interest therein acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note (and any such beneficial interest) set forth in this Indenture and in the Restricted Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note (and any such beneficial interest) only in accordance with the Indenture and such legend.

Section 2.02.  Execution and Authentication; Exchange Notes.  (a)  An Officer shall execute the Notes for the Issuer by facsimile or manual signature in the name and on behalf of the Issuer.  If an Officer whose signature is on a Note

32

no longer holds that office at the time the Note is authenticated, the Note will still be valid.

(b)        A Note will not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note, with the signature conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under the Indenture.

(c)        At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of the Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Notes executed by the Issuer to the Trustee for authentication.  The Trustee will authenticate and deliver:

(i)            Initial Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $600,000,000, and

(ii)           Exchange Notes from time to time for issue in exchange for a like principal amount of Initial Notes

after the following conditions have been met:

(A)          Receipt by the Trustee of a certificate, executed by an Officer specifying

(1)       the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated,

(2)       whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Exchange Notes,

(3)       whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes or Certificated Notes, and

(4)       other information the Issuer may determine to include or the Trustee may reasonably request.

(B)           In the case of Exchange Notes, effectiveness of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement and Consummation (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) of the exchange offer thereunder (and receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate to that effect).  Initial Notes exchanged for Exchange Notes will be cancelled by the Trustee, who will dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedures or the written instructions of the Issuer.

Section 2.03.  Registrar, Paying Agent and Authenticating Agent; Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  (a) The Issuer may appoint one or more Registrars

33

and one or more Paying Agents, and the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent, in which case each reference in the Indenture to the Trustee in respect of the obligations of the Trustee to be performed by that Agent will be deemed to be references to the Agent.  The Issuer may act as Registrar or (except for purposes of Article 8) Paying Agent.  In each case, the Issuer and the Trustee will enter into an appropriate agreement with the Agent implementing the provisions of the Indenture relating to the obligations of the Trustee to be performed by the Agent and the related rights.

(b)        The Issuer will require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes and will promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Issuer in making any such payment.  The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require the Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed.  Upon doing so, the Paying Agent will have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.

Section 2.04.  Replacement Notes.  If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuer will issue and the Trustee will authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.  Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Issuer and entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.  If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity must be furnished that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the Issuer and the Trustee from any loss they may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Issuer may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Issuer and the Trustee in replacing a Note.  In case the mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer in its discretion may pay the Note instead of issuing a replacement Note.

Section 2.05.  Outstanding Notes.  (a)  Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for:

(i)         Notes cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to it for cancellation;

(ii)        any Note which has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.04 unless and until the Trustee and the Issuer receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser; and

34

(iii)      on or after the maturity date or any redemption date or date for purchase of the Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, those Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date for which the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer) holds money sufficient to pay all amounts then due.

(b)        A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or one of its Affiliates holds the Note; provided, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given or taken any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action hereunder, Notes owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding (it being understood that in determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, only Notes which the Trustee knows to be so owned will be so disregarded).  Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer.

Section 2.06.  Temporary Notes.  Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by the execution of the temporary Notes.  If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Issuer designated for the purpose pursuant to Section 4.02 without charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes, the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under the Indenture as definitive Notes.

Section 2.07.  Cancellation.  The Issuer at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold.  Any Registrar or the Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to it for transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee will cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and dispose of them in accordance with its normal procedures or the written instructions of the Issuer.  The Issuer may not

35

issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, except for Exchange Notes.

Section 2.08.  CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.  The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders, the notice to state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or Offer to Purchase.  The Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.09.  Registration, Transfer and Exchange.  (a)  The Notes will be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and the Issuer shall cause the Trustee to maintain a register (the “Register”) of the Notes, for registering the record ownership of the Notes by the Holders and transfers and exchanges of the Notes.

(b)              (i) Each Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereof, will bear the DTC Legend.

(ii)       Each Global Note will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary.  Transfers of a Global Note (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (A) as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(iv) and (B) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Notes may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by 20 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section and Section 2.10.

(iii)      Agent Members will have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Note through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under the Indenture or the Notes, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security.

36

(iv)     If (x) the Depositary (i) notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of the notice or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, (y) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Notes or (z) a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Note for one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and thereupon the Global Note will be deemed canceled.  If such Note does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend.  If such Note bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Notes issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend; provided, that any Holder of any such Certificated Note issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note will have the right upon presentation to the Trustee of a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange such Certificated Note for a Certificated Note of like tenor and amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such Holder.

(c)        Each Certificated Note will be registered in the name of the holder thereof or its nominee.

(d)        A Holder may transfer a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Note or Notes of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by Section 2.10.  The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section and Section 2.10 noting the same in the register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided, that

(i)        no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such register, and

(ii)       the Trustee will not be required (x) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, (y) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any Note not being redeemed or

37

purchased, or (z) if a redemption or a purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase.  Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee and their agents will treat the Person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Note is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary.

From time to time the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional Notes as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section.

No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(iv)).

(e)         (i)  Global Note to Global Note.  If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Note.  Any beneficial interest in one Global Note that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Note, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Note, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.

(ii)           Global Note to Certificated Note.  If a beneficial interest in a Global Note is transferred or exchanged for a Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the owner of such beneficial interest (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or owner, as applicable.

38

(iii)          Certificated Note to Global Note.  If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel such Certificated Note, (y) record an increase in the principal amount of such Global Note equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (z) in the event that such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

(iv)          Certificated Note to Certificated Note.  If a Certificated Note is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Note, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Note being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Note (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Note, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Notes in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Note, registered in the name of the Holder thereof.

Section 2.10.  Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange.  (a) The transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section and Section 2.09 and, in the case of a Global Note (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary.  The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence.

(b)      Subject to paragraph (c), the transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a Note (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B below may only be made in compliance with the certification requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite in column C below.

39

40

exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, no certification is required and the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such exchange is permitted if the requested exchange involves a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note.

(c)        No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Note (or a beneficial interest therein)

(i)        after such Note is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor provision) without being subject to any conditions as provided in such Rule; provided, that the Issuer has provided the Trustee with a certificate to that effect, and the Issuer or the Trustee may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause (i) an opinion of counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate; or

(ii)       (A) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, filed pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise (B) which is validly tendered for exchange into an Exchange Note pursuant to an Exchange Offer.

Any Certificated Note delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not bear the Restricted Legend.

(d)        The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a Note (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Issuer will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee.

Section 2.11.  Regulation S Temporary Global Notes.  (a) Each Note originally sold by the Initial Purchasers in reliance upon Regulation S will be evidenced by one or more Regulation S Global Notes that bear the Regulation S Temporary Global Note Legend.

(b)        An owner of a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note (or a Person acting on behalf of such an owner) may provide to the Trustee (and the Trustee will accept) a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership at any time after the Restricted Period (it being understood that the Trustee will not accept any such certificate during the Restricted Period).  Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such beneficial interest to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation S

41

Global Note, and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Regulation S Temporary Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Regulation S Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest.

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note may be held through the Depositary only through Euroclear or Clearstream and their respective direct and indirect participants.

(d)        Notwithstanding paragraph (b), if after the Restricted Period any Initial Purchaser owns a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Temporary Global Note, such Initial Purchaser may, upon written request to the Trustee accompanied by a certification as to its status as an Initial Purchaser, exchange such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note, and the Trustee will comply with such request and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Regulation S Temporary Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Regulation S Global Note by the amount of such beneficial interest.

ARTICLE 3
REDEMPTION; OFFER TO PURCHASE

Section 3.01.  Optional Redemption.  At any time and from time to time on or after November 1, 2010, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the percentage of principal amount set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the applicable redemption date.

Section 3.02.  Redemption with Proceeds of Equity Offering.  At any time and from time to time prior to May 1, 2011, the Issuer may redeem Notes with the net cash proceeds received by the Issuer from any Equity Offering at a redemption price equal to 111.50% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, in an aggregate principal amount for all such redemptions not to exceed 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes, provided that:

42

(i)            in each case the redemption takes place not later than 60 days after the closing of the related Equity Offering, and

(ii)           not less than 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding immediately thereafter.

Section 3.03.  Sinking Fund; Mandatory Redemption.  There is no sinking fund for, or mandatory redemption of, the Notes.

Section 3.04.  Method and Effect of Redemption.  (a) If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes, it must notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed by delivering an Officers’ Certificate at least 45 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee).  If fewer than all of the Notes are being redeemed, the Officers’ Certificate must also specify a record date not less than 15 days after the date of the notice of redemption is given to the Trustee, and the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata, or as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to the procedures of DTC), unless such method is otherwise prohibited, in which case, by lot or by any other method the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate, in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  The Trustee will notify the Issuer promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption.  Notice of redemption must be sent by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer to Holders whose Notes are to be redeemed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date.  Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

(b)        The notice of redemption will identify the Notes to be redeemed and will include or state the following:

(i)                       the redemption date;

(ii)                    the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued interest or Additional Interest, if any;

(iii)                 the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for redemption (Notes called for redemption must be so surrendered in order to collect the redemption price);

(iv)                that on the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable on Notes called for redemption, and interest on Notes called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date;

43

(v)                   that if any Note is redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion will be issued; and

(vi)                if any Note contains a CUSIP or ISIN number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or ISIN number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

(c)                        Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, Notes called for redemption become due and payable at the redemption price on the redemption date, and upon surrender of the Notes called for redemption, the Issuer shall redeem such Notes at the redemption price.  Commencing on the redemption date, Notes redeemed will cease to accrue interest.  Upon surrender of any Note redeemed in part, the Holder will receive a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Note.

Section 3.05.  Offer to Purchase.  (a) An “Offer to Purchase” means an offer by the Issuer to purchase Notes as required by the Indenture.  An Offer to Purchase must be made by written offer (the “offer”) sent to the Holders.  The Issuer will notify the Trustee at least 15 days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to sending the offer to Holders of its obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the offer will be sent by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer.

(b)                       The offer must include or state the following as to the terms of the Offer to Purchase:

(i)                       the provision of the Indenture pursuant to which the Offer to Purchase is being made;

(ii)                    the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes offered to be purchased by the Issuer pursuant to the Offer to Purchase (including, if less than 100%, the manner by which such amount has been determined pursuant to the Indenture) (the “purchase amount”);

(iii)                 the purchase price, including the portion thereof representing accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any;

(iv)                an expiration date (the “expiration date”) not less than 30 days or more than 60 days after the date of the offer, and a settlement date for purchase (the “purchase date”) not more than five Business Days after the expiration date;

44

(v)                   information concerning the business of the Company, the Issuer and its Subsidiaries which the Issuer in good faith believes will enable the Holders to make an informed decision with respect to the Offer to Purchase, at a minimum to include:

(A)                    the most recent annual and quarterly financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the Company,

(B)                      a description of material developments in the Company’s business subsequent to the date of the latest of the financial statements (including a description of the events requiring the Issuer to make the Offer to Purchase), and

(C)                      if applicable, appropriate pro forma financial information concerning the Offer to Purchase and the events requiring the Issuer to make the Offer to Purchase;

(vi)                a Holder may tender all or any portion of its Notes, subject to the requirement that any portion of a Note tendered must be in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(vii)             the place or places where Notes are to be surrendered for tender pursuant to the Offer to Purchase;

(viii)          each Holder electing to tender a Note pursuant to the offer will be required to surrender such Note at the place or places specified in the offer prior to the close of business on the expiration date (such Note being, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, duly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed written instrument of transfer);

(ix)                  interest on any Note not tendered, or tendered but not purchased by the Issuer pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, will continue to accrue;

(x)                     on the purchase date the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date;

(xi)                  Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which must be received by the Issuer or the Trustee not later than the close of business on the expiration date, setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate number

45

of the tendered Notes and a statement that the Holder is withdrawing all or a portion of the tender;

(xii)               (A) if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than or equal to the purchase amount are duly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, the Issuer will purchase all such Notes, and (B) if the Offer to Purchase is for less than all of the outstanding Notes and Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the purchase amount are tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer, the Issuer will purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase amount on a pro rata basis, with adjustments so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000 principal amount and any multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof will be purchased;

(xiii)            if any Note is purchased in part, new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Note will be issued; and

(xiv)           if any Note contains a CUSIP or ISIN number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or ISIN number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the offer and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

(c)                        Prior to the purchase date, the Issuer will accept tendered Notes for purchase as required by the Offer to Purchase and deliver to the Trustee all Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate specifying which Notes have been accepted for purchase.  On the purchase date, the purchase price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase, and interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date.  The Trustee will promptly return to Holders any Notes not accepted for purchase and send to Holders new Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes accepted for purchase in part.

(d)                       The Issuer will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and all other applicable laws in making any Offer to Purchase, and the above procedures will be deemed modified as necessary to permit such compliance.

COVENANTS

Section 4.01.  Payment of Notes.   (a)  The Issuer agrees to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and the Indenture. 

46

The Issuer shall pay Additional Interest in the amounts set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.  Not later than 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the due date of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, any Notes, or any redemption or purchase price of the Notes, the Issuer will deposit with the Trustee (or Paying Agent) money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such amounts; provided, that if the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer is acting as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such amounts until paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in the Indenture.  In each case the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its compliance with this paragraph.

(b)        An installment of principal, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be considered paid on the date due if the Trustee (or Paying Agent, other than the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer) holds on that date money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment.  If the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer acts as Paying Agent, an installment of principal, premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be considered paid on the due date only if paid to the Holders.

(c)        The Issuer agrees to pay interest on overdue principal, and, to the extent lawful, overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest at the rate per annum specified in the Notes.

(d)        Payments in respect of the Notes represented by the Global Notes are to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders of the Global Notes. With respect to Certificated Notes, the Issuer will make all payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Holders thereof or, if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to each Holder’s registered address.

Section 4.02.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Company and the Issuer will maintain an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company and the Issuer in respect of the Notes and the Indenture may be served.  The Issuer and the Company hereby initially designate the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as such office of the Issuer and the Company.  The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency.  If at any time the Issuer and the Company fail to maintain any such required office or agency or fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served to the Trustee.

47

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be surrendered or presented for any of such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations.  The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

Section 4.03.  Existence.  The Company and the Issuer will each do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect their existence and the existence of each of the Restricted Subsidiaries in accordance with their respective organizational documents, and the material rights, licenses and franchises of the Company, the Issuer and each Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that the Company and the Issuer are not required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the existence of any Restricted Subsidiary, if the maintenance or preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole; and provided, further, that this Section not prohibit any transaction otherwise permitted by Section 4.10 or Section 4.14.

Section 4.04.  Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.  The Company will pay or discharge, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay or discharge before the same become delinquent (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or its income or profits or property, and (b) all material lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary, other than any such tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established.

Section 4.05.  Maintenance of Properties and Insurance. (a)  The Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, that nothing in this Section prevents the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the use, operation or maintenance of any of such properties or disposing of any of them, if such discontinuance or disposal is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(b)        The Company will provide or cause to be provided, for itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, insurance (including appropriate self-insurance) against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by corporations similarly situated and owning like properties, including, but not limited to, products liability insurance and public liability insurance, with reputable insurers, in such

48

amounts, with such deductibles and by such methods as are customary for corporations similarly situated in the industry in which the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are then conducting business.

Section 4.06.  Limitations on Indebtedness.  (a)  The Company and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to create, incur, assume, become liable for or guarantee the payment of (collectively, an “incurrence”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) unless, after giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio on the date thereof would be at least 2.0 to 1.0.

(b)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of the Indenture will not prevent the incurrence of:

(i)        Permitted Indebtedness,

(ii)       Refinancing Indebtedness,

(iii)      Non-Recourse Indebtedness,

(iv)     any Guarantee of Indebtedness represented by the Notes, and

(v)      any guarantee of Indebtedness incurred under Credit Facilities in compliance with the Indenture.

(c)        For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness may be incurred through the first paragraph of this covenant or by meeting the criteria of one or more of the types of Indebtedness described in the second paragraph of this covenant (or the definitions of the terms used therein), the Company, in its sole discretion,

(i)        may classify such item of Indebtedness under and comply with either of such paragraphs (or any of such definitions), as applicable,

(ii)       may classify and divide such item of Indebtedness into more than one of such paragraphs (or definitions), as applicable, and

(iii)      may elect to comply with such paragraphs (or definitions), as applicable, in any order.

(d)        The Company and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, in any event incur any Indebtedness that purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Company or of such

49

Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be, to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to such other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

Section 4.07.  Limitations on Restricted Payments.  (a) The Company and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment unless:

(i)       no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment;

(ii)      immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the Company could incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.06(a) hereof; and

(iii)     immediately after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments (including the Fair Market Value of any non-cash Restricted Payment) declared or made on or after the Issue Date does not exceed the sum of:

(A)       50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) from and including May 1, 2008 and ending on the last day of the Company’s fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of such Restricted Payment (or in the event such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus

(B)       100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds of and the Fair Market Value of Property received by the Company from (1) any capital contribution to the Company after the Issue Date or any issue or sale after the Issue Date of Qualified Stock (other than (x) to any Subsidiary of the Company or (y) any Excluded Contribution) and (2) the issue or sale after the Issue Date of any Indebtedness or other securities of the Company convertible into or exercisable for Qualified Stock of the Company that have been so converted or exercised, as the case may be, plus

(C)       in the case of the disposition or repayment of any Investment constituting a Restricted Payment (or if the Investment was made prior to the Issue Date, that would have constituted a Restricted Payment if made after the Issue Date, if such

50

disposition or repayment results in cash received by the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary), an amount (to the extent not included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income referred to in (A)) equal to the lesser of (x) the return of capital with respect to such Investment (including by dividend, distribution or sale of Capital Stock) and (y) the amount of such Investment that was treated (or would have been treated when made) as a Restricted Payment, in either case, less the cost of the disposition or repayment of such Investment (to the extent not included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income referred to in (A)), plus

(D)       with respect to any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, in accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (so long as the designation of such Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary was treated as a Restricted Payment made after the Issue Date, and only to the extent not included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income referred to in (A)), an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the proportionate interest of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in an amount equal to the excess of (I) the total assets of such Subsidiary, valued on an aggregate basis at the lesser of book value and Fair Market Value thereof, over (II) the total liabilities of such Subsidiary, determined in accordance with GAAP, and (y) the Designation Amount at the time of such Subsidiary’s designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(b)        clauses (ii) and (iii) of paragraph (a) will not prohibit:

(i)       the payment of any dividend within 60 days of its declaration if such dividend could have been made on the date of its declaration without violation of the provisions of the Indenture;

(ii)      the purchase, repayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or shares of Capital Stock of the Company in exchange for, or out of the net proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company or constituting an Excluded Contribution) of, other shares of Qualified Stock;

(iii)     (A) the purchase, repayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for, or out of proceeds of, Refinancing Indebtedness;

51

(B)         the purchase, repayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or the making of Restricted Investments in joint ventures:

(1)     in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million (after giving effect to all subsequent reductions in the amount of any Restricted Investment in a joint venture made pursuant to this clause (B)(1) as a result of the repayment or disposition thereof for cash, not to exceed the amount of such Restricted Investment previously made pursuant to this clause (B)(1)); or

(2)     in an aggregate amount made under this clause (B)(2) not to exceed Excluded Contributions (after giving effect to all subsequent reductions in the amount of any Restricted Investment in a joint venture made pursuant to this clause (B)(2) as a result of the repayment or disposition thereof for cash, not to exceed the amount of such Restricted Investment previously made pursuant to this clause (B)(2)); and

(C)         following receipt of a Qualified Collateral Appraisal (as defined below), the purchase, repayment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or the making of Restricted Investments in joint ventures (after giving effect to all subsequent reductions in the amount of any Restricted Investment in a joint venture made pursuant to this clause (C) as a result of the repayment or disposition thereof for cash, not to exceed the amount of such Restricted Investment previously made pursuant to this clause (C)), in an aggregate amount not to exceed $400.0 million less the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments previously made under clause (iii)(B)(1) above; provided that, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any such Restricted Payment, the aggregate fair market value of the Collateral (as determined in good faith by the Company’s chief financial officer) is equal to at least 200% of the aggregate principal amount of Collateralized Debt as of such date (or, in the case of a Restricted Investment in a joint venture, on the date the Company determines to make such Investment, so long as the Investment is completed within 120 days of such determination date), such fair market value to be determined by the most recent appraisal of the

52

Collateral required to be provided under the Revolving Credit Agreement;

(iv)        the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock and Disqualified Stock up to an aggregate amount of $10 million in any fiscal year; provided that immediately after giving effect to any declaration of such dividend, the Company could incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.06(a); and

(v)         the purchase, redemption or other acquisition, cancellation or retirement for value of Capital Stock, or options, warrants, equity appreciation rights or other rights to purchase or acquire Capital Stock, of the Company or any Subsidiary held by officers or employees or former officers or employees of the Company or any Subsidiary (or their estates or beneficiaries under their estates) not to exceed $10 million in the aggregate since the Issue Date;

provided, however, that each Restricted Payment described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence shall be taken into account for purposes of computing the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.07.

(c)        For purposes of determining the aggregate and permitted amounts of Restricted Payments made, the amount of any guarantee of any Investment in any Person that was initially treated as a Restricted Payment and which was subsequently terminated or expired, net of any amounts paid by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such guarantee, shall be deducted.

(d)        In determining the “Fair Market Value of Property” for purposes of clause (iii) of paragraph (a) of this Section 4.07, Property other than cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities shall be deemed to be equal in value to the “equity value” of the Capital Stock or other securities issued in exchange therefor.  The equity value of such Capital Stock or other securities shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of Common Equity issued in the transaction (or issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Capital Stock or other securities issued in the transaction) multiplied by the closing sale price of the Common Equity on its principal market on the date of the transaction (less, in the case of Capital Stock or other securities which require the payment of consideration at the time of conversion or exercise, the aggregate consideration payable thereupon) or (ii) if the Common Equity is not then traded on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market, or if the Capital Stock or other securities issued in the transaction do not consist of Common Equity (or Capital Stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Equity), the value (if more than $10 million) of such Capital Stock or other

53

securities as determined by a nationally recognized investment banking firm retained by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Solely for the purpose of permitting Restricted Payments under clause (iii)(C) of paragraph (b) of this Section 4.07, as soon as commercially reasonable, but in no event later than 180 days from Issue Date, the Company shall have received appraisals from an independent appraiser.  Such appraisal must establish that the Collateral includes at least $1.8 billion of market value of Collateral (an appraisal establishing such value, a “Qualified Collateral Appraisal”).  If the initial Qualified Collateral Appraisal does not establish such market value but the Company determines, at its option, to obtain additional appraisals from an independent appraiser at a later date that do establish such valuation, then from and after receipt of such new appraisals (which shall be deemed Qualified Collateral Appraisals), the Company shall be permitted to utilize clause (iii)(C) of paragraph (b) of this Section 4.07.

Section 4.08.  Limitations on Liens.  The Company and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens, other than Permitted Liens, on any of its Property, or on any shares of Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.09.  Limitations on Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.  The Company and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction (other than encumbrances or restrictions imposed by law or by judicial or regulatory action or by provisions of agreements that restrict the assignability thereof) on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(a)        pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock or any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, owned by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, or pay interest on or principal of any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary,

(b)        make loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, or

(c)        transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary,

except for:

(i)                       encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of applicable law,

54

(ii)                    contractual encumbrances or restrictions in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided, that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in such contractual encumbrances or restrictions, as in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date,

(iii)                 any restrictions or encumbrances arising under Acquired Indebtedness; provided, that such encumbrance or restriction applies only to either the assets that were subject to the restriction or encumbrance at the time of the acquisition or the obligor on such Indebtedness and its Subsidiaries prior to such acquisition,

(iv)                any restrictions or encumbrances arising in connection with Refinancing Indebtedness; provided, however, that any restrictions and encumbrances of the type described in this clause (iv) that arise under such Refinancing Indebtedness shall not be materially more restrictive or apply to additional assets than those under the agreement creating or evidencing the Indebtedness being refunded, refinanced, replaced or extended,

(v)                   any Permitted Lien, or any other agreement restricting the sale or other disposition of property, securing Indebtedness permitted by the Indenture if such Permitted Lien or agreement does not expressly restrict the ability of a Subsidiary of the Company to pay dividends or make or repay loans or advances prior to default thereunder,

(vi)                reasonable and customary borrowing base covenants set forth in agreements evidencing Indebtedness otherwise permitted by the Indenture,

(vii)             customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses, encumbrances, contracts or similar assets entered into or acquired in the ordinary course of business,

(viii)          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,

(ix)                  encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees,

55

(x)        purchase money obligations that impose restrictions on the property so acquired of the nature described in clause (c) of the preceding paragraph,

(xi)       Liens permitted under the Indenture securing Indebtedness that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Lien,

(xii)      provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture agreements, assets sale agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements,

(xiii)     customary provisions of any franchise, distribution or similar agreements,

(xiv)     restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business, and

(xv)      any encumbrance or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the first paragraph of this section imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, supplements, refinancings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (i) through (xiv) of this paragraph; provided, that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors, no more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing.

Section 4.10.  Limitations on Dispositions of Assets.  (a) The Company and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless: (x) the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the Fair Market Value thereof, and (y) not less than 70% of the consideration received by the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) is in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities (which must be pledged as Collateral if the assets disposed of constituted Collateral).

(b)        The amount of (i) any Indebtedness (other than any Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is actually assumed by the transferee in such Asset Disposition and (ii) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of any

56

property or assets (including Capital Stock of any Person that will be a Restricted Subsidiary following receipt thereof) received that are used or useful in a Real Estate Business (provided that (except as permitted by clause (c) under the definition of “Permitted Investment”) to the extent that the assets disposed of in such Asset Disposition were Collateral, such property or assets are pledged as Collateral under the Security Documents substantially simultaneously with such sale, with the Lien on such Collateral securing the Notes being of the same priority with respect to the Notes as the Lien on the assets disposed of), shall be deemed to be consideration required by clause (y) of Section 4.10(a) for purposes of determining the percentage of such consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries.

(c)        The Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Disposition shall, within one year, at the Company’s election, (1) be used by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to invest in assets (including Capital Stock of any Person that is or will be a Restricted Subsidiary following investment therein) used or useful in the business of the construction and sale of homes conducted by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (provided that (except as permitted by clause (c) under the definition of “Permitted Investment” to the extent that the assets disposed of in such Asset Disposition were Collateral, such assets are pledged as Collateral under the Security Documents with the Lien on such Collateral securing the Notes being of the same priority with respect to the Notes as the Lien on the assets disposed of), (2) be used to permanently prepay or permanently repay any (i) Indebtedness (or cash collateralize letters of credit) constituting First-Priority Lien Obligations, (ii) Indebtedness which had been secured by the assets sold in the relevant Asset Disposition, to the extent the assets sold were not Collateral or (iii) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, to the extent the assets sold were not Collateral, or (3) be applied to make an Offer to Purchase Notes and, if the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary elects or is required to do so and the assets disposed of were not Collateral repay, purchase or redeem any other unsubordinated Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis if the amount available for such repayment, purchase or redemption is less than the aggregate amount of (x) the principal amount of the Notes tendered in such Offer to Purchase and (y) the lesser of the principal amount, or accreted value, of such other unsubordinated Indebtedness, plus, in each case accrued interest to the date of repayment, purchase or redemption) at 100% of the principal amount or accreted value thereof, as the case may be, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase or repayment. Pending any such application under this Section 4.10(c), Net Cash Proceeds may be used to temporarily reduce Indebtedness or otherwise be invested in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture.

(d)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Company will not be required to apply such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with clauses (2) and (3) of the preceding paragraph except to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds, together with the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of prior Asset Dispositions (other

than those so used) which have not been applied in accordance with this provision and as to which no prior prepayments or repayments shall have been made and no Offer to Purchase shall have been made, exceed $25 million and (B) in connection with an Asset Disposition, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be required to comply with the requirements of clause (y) of Section 4.10(a) to the extent that the non-cash consideration received in connection with such Asset Disposition, together with the sum of all non-cash consideration received in connection with all prior Asset Dispositions that has not yet been converted into cash, Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities, does not exceed $25 million; provided, however, that when any non-cash consideration is converted into cash, Cash Equivalents or Marketable Securities, such cash shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds and be subject to the preceding sentence.

Section 4.11.  Guarantees by Restricted Subsidiaries.  Each existing Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Issuer (for so long as it remains the Issuer) and ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Poland, sp.zo.o.) will be a Guarantor. The Company is permitted to cause any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Guarantor.  If the Issuer, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, such Restricted Subsidiary shall execute a guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit A, execute a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B, and deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee to the effect that the supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the new Restricted Subsidiary and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the new Restricted Subsidiary, enforceable against the new Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions).

Section 4.12.  Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control.  (a) In the event that there shall occur a Change of Control, each Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Issuer to purchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes on a date (the “Repurchase Date”) that is no later than 90 days after notice of the Change of Control, at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the Repurchase Date.

(b)        On or before the thirtieth day after any Change of Control, the Issuer is obligated to mail, or cause to be mailed, to all Holders of record of Notes and the Trustee a notice regarding the Change of Control and the repurchase right. The notice shall state the Repurchase Date, the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised, the price for the Notes and the procedure which the Holder must follow to exercise such right.  Substantially simultaneously with mailing of the notice, the Issuer shall cause a copy of such notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.  To exercise such right, the Holder of such Note must deliver at least ten days prior to the Repurchase Date written notice to the Issuer (or an agent

58

designated by the Issuer for such purpose) of the Holder’s exercise of such right, together with the Note with respect to which the right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer; provided, however, that if mandated by applicable law, a Holder may be permitted to deliver such written notice nearer to the Repurchase Date than may be specified by the Issuer.

(c)        The Issuer will comply with applicable law, including Section 14(e) of Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder, if applicable, if the Issuer is required to give a notice of a right of repurchase as a result of a Change of Control.

Section 4.13.  Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.  (a) The Company and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any loan, advance, guarantee or capital contribution to, or for the benefit of, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any property or assets to or for the benefit of, or purchase or lease any property or assets from, or enter into or amend any contract, agreement or understanding with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company or any Affiliate of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any holder of 10% or more of the Common Equity of the Company (including any Affiliates of such holders), in a single transaction or series of related transactions (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), except for any Affiliate Transaction the terms of which are at least as favorable as the terms which could be obtained by the Company, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a comparable transaction made on an arm’s-length basis with Persons who are not such a holder, an Affiliate of such a holder or an Affiliate of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries.

(b)        In addition, the Company and the Issuer will not, and will not cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into an Affiliate Transaction unless:

(i)                           with respect to any such Affiliate Transaction involving or having a value of more than $1 million, the Company shall have (x) obtained the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company and (y) either obtained the approval of a majority of the Company’s disinterested directors or obtained an opinion of a qualified independent financial advisor to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair to the Company, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, and

(ii)                        with respect to any such Affiliate Transaction involving or having a value of more than $10 million, the Company shall have (x) obtained the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company and (y) delivered to the Trustee an opinion of a qualified independent financial advisor to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair to the Company, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view.

59

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affiliate Transaction will not include:

(i)                           any contract, agreement or understanding with, or for the benefit of, or plan for the benefit of, employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries generally (in their capacities as such) that has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company,

(ii)                        Capital Stock issuances to directors, officers and employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to plans approved by the stockholders of the Company,

(iii)                     any Restricted Payment otherwise permitted under Section 4.07 hereof,

(iv)                    any transaction between or among the Company and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between or among Restricted Subsidiaries (provided, however, no such transaction shall involve any other Affiliate of the Company (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent the applicable amount constitutes a Restricted Payment permitted by this Indenture)),

(v)                       any transaction between one or more Restricted Subsidiaries and one or more Unrestricted Subsidiaries where all of the payments to, or other benefits conferred upon, such Unrestricted Subsidiaries are substantially contemporaneously dividended, or otherwise distributed or transferred without charge, to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary,

(vi)                    issuances, sales or other transfers or dispositions of mortgages and collateralized mortgage obligations in the ordinary course of business between Restricted Subsidiaries and Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Company, and

(vii)                 the payment of reasonable and customary fees to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 4.14.  Limitations on Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets.  Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets (including, without limitation, by way of liquidation or dissolution), or assign any of its obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture (as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in one transaction or in a series of related transactions), to any Person (in each case other than in a transaction in which the

60

Company, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary is the survivor of a consolidation or merger, or the transferee in a sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition) unless:

(i)                           the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be), or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition or assignment will be made (collectively, the “Successor”), is a corporation or other legal entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor assumes by supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee all of the obligations of the Company, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Notes or a Guarantee, as the case may be, and the Indenture and the Security Documents,

(ii)                        immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and

(iii)                     immediately after giving effect to such transaction, the Company (or its Successor) could incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.06(a) hereof.

The foregoing provisions shall not apply to: (i) a transaction involving the sale or disposition of Capital Stock of a Guarantor, or the consolidation or merger of a Guarantor, or the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor, that in any such case results in such Guarantor being released from its Guarantee pursuant to Section 6.03, or (ii) a transaction the purpose of which is to change the state of incorporation of the Company, the Issuer or any Guarantor.

Section 4.15.  Reports to Holders of Notes.   (a)  The Company shall file with the Commission the annual reports and the information, documents and other reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company shall file with the Trustee and mail to each Holder of record of Notes such reports, information and documents within 15 days after it files them with the Commission.  In the event that the Company is no longer subject to these periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, it will nonetheless continue to file reports with the Commission and the Trustee and mail such reports to each Holder of Notes as if it were subject to such reporting requirements.  Regardless of whether the Company is required to furnish such reports to its stockholders pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Company will cause its consolidated financial statements and a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” written report, similar to those that would have been required to appear in annual or quarterly reports, to be delivered to Holders of Notes.

61

(b)        For so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144, the Company will furnish to the Holders of Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(c)        All “obligors,” as that term is defined under the Trust Indenture Act, on the Notes, including the Issuer and the Guarantors, will comply with Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.

(d)        Delivery of these reports and information to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of them will not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s and/or the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Section 4.16.  Reports to Trustee.  (a) The Company will deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year a written statement by the Company’s independent public accountants stating (i) that their audit examination has included a review of the terms of this Indenture and the Notes as they relate to accounting matters, and (ii) whether, in connection with their audit examination, any Default has come to their attention and, if a Default has come to their attention, specifying the nature and period of the existence thereof.

(b)        The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, on or prior to each Interest Payment Date, an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the amount of Additional Interest, if any, the Issuer is required to pay on that Interest Payment Date.  If no Additional Interest are required to be paid on a given Interest Payment Date, no such Officer’s Certificate is required to be delivered to the Trustee for that Interest Payment Date.

(c)        All “obligors,” as that term is defined under the Trust Indenture Act, on the Notes, including the Issuer and the Guarantors, will comply with Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.  The Company will notify the Trustee when any Notes are listed on any national securities exchange and of any delisting.

Section 4.17.  Notice of Other Defaults.  In the event that any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor is declared due and payable before its maturity because of the occurrence of any default under such Indebtedness, the Issuer or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, shall promptly deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating such declaration; provided, that the term “Indebtedness” as used in this Section 4.17 shall not include Non-Recourse Indebtedness.

62

Section 4.18.  Further Assurances; Costs.

(a)        If the Issuer or any of the Guarantors at any time grants, assumes, perfects or becomes subject to any Lien upon any of its property (other than Excluded Property of the type referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof) then owned or thereafter acquired as security for any First-Priority Lien Obligation, the Issuer will, or will cause such Guarantor to, as promptly as practical (subject to the requirements of the Intercreditor Agreement):

(i)         ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇ on such property to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of Second-Priority Lien Obligations and, to the extent such grant would require the execution and delivery of a Security Document, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall execute and deliver a Security Document on substantially the same terms as the agreement or instrument executed and delivered to secure the First-Priority Lien Obligations, with changes to reflect the subordination of the Liens securing the Second-Priority Lien Obligations, including the changes made to the Security Documents executed and delivered on the Issue Date (as compared to the comparable security documents securing First-Priority Lien Obligations entered into or in existence on the Issue Date); and

(ii)        cause the Lien granted in such Security Document to be duly perfected in any manner permitted by law to the same extent as the Liens granted for the benefit of the First-Priority Lien Obligations are perfected (but junior to such Lien pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement).

If the Issuer or such Guarantor delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the holders of First-Priority Lien Obligations in respect of the validity, perfection or priority of any ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ referred to in this clause (a), the Issuer or such Guarantor shall also deliver an Opinion of Counsel (of no greater scope) with respect to such matters to the Trustee and Collateral Agent.

(b)        In addition, if the Issuer or any Guarantor at any time after the Issue Date acquires any new property (other than Excluded Property) that is not automatically subject to a Lien under the Security Documents, or a Restricted Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor, the Issuer will, or will cause such Guarantor, subject to the requirements of the Security Documents, to as soon as practical after such property’s acquisition or it no longer being Excluded Property:

(i)         ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇ on such property (or, in the case of a new Guarantor, all of its assets except Excluded Property) to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of Second-Priority Lien Obligations (and, to the extent such grant would require the execution and delivery of a Security Document, the Issuer or such Guarantor shall execute and

63

deliver a Security Document on substantially the same terms as the Security Documents executed and delivered on the Issue Date); and

(ii)        cause the Lien granted in such Security Document to be duly perfected in any manner permitted by law to the same extent as the Liens granted on the Issue Date are perfected.

The Issuer or such Guarantor shall deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee in respect of the validity, perfection or priority of any ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ referred to in this clause (b), addressing customary matters (and containing customary exceptions) consistent with the Opinion of Counsel delivered on the Issue Date in respect of such matters.  For the avoidance of doubt, while the First-Priority Lien Obligations are outstanding and the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect:  (i) any waiver or other determination by the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations (or the Administrative Agent if so permitted) with respect to an obligation to grant Liens on any assets subject to this Section 4.18(b) shall also be applicable to the Second-Priority Lien Obligations, and if applicable, to the extent provided by the Intercreditor Agreement (ii) any such Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee shall only be required to the extent that an Opinion of Counsel is delivered to the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations (and shall be of no greater scope).

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in clause (a) or elsewhere in this Indenture or any Security Document:

(i)         any mortgages (and any related Security Documents) required to be granted pursuant to clause (a) on the Issue Date with respect to real property that is securing First-Priority Lien Obligations on the Issue Date shall be granted as soon as commercially reasonable following the Issue Date, but in no event later than 45 days following the Issue Date, and with respect to any real property that is not securing First-Priority Lien Obligations on the Issue Date, mortgages shall be provided by July 31, 2008, which date may be extended for up to 60 days by the Administrative Agent; and

(ii)        in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act requires or would 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 Commission of separate financial statements of a Guarantor that are not otherwise required to be filed, then the capital stock or other securities of such Guarantor need not be pledged pursuant to clauses (a) or (d) of this Section 4.18 and shall automatically be deemed released and to not be and to not have been part of the Collateral, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement. In such event, the Security Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, to the extent necessary to evidence the

64

release of Liens securing the Second-Priority Lien Obligations on the shares of capital stock or other securities that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral.

(d)        If, after the Collateral is released in full as contemplated by Section 5.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement and, thereafter, the Issuer subsequently incurs Obligations under a new Credit Facility or other First-Priority Lien Obligations that are secured by Liens on assets of the Issuer or any Guarantor of the type constituting Collateral, then the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be required to secure the Notes and the Guarantees at such time by a Second-Priority Lien on the collateral securing such Obligations under the new Credit Facility or other First-Priority Lien Obligations to the same extent provided by clause (a) above on the terms and conditions of the security documents relating to the new Credit Facility or such other First-Priority Lien Obligations, with the Liens on the Collateral granted in favor either of the administrative agent under such new Credit Facility or a collateral agent designated by the Issuer to hold the Liens for the benefit of the holders of Second-Priority Lien Obligations and subject to an intercreditor agreement that provides the administrative agent under such new Credit Facility substantially the same rights and powers as afforded under the Security Documents entered into on the Issue Date.

(e)        The Issuer will bear and pay all legal expenses, collateral audit and valuation costs, filing fees, insurance premiums and other costs associated with the performance of the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors set forth in this Section 4.18 and will also pay or reimburse the Trustee and Collateral Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee and Collateral Agent in connection therewith, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee and Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel.

(f)         Neither the Issuer nor any of the Guarantors will be permitted to take any action, or knowingly or negligently omit to take any action, which action or omission might or would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes.

ARTICLE 5
REMEDIES

Section 5.01.  Events of Default.  “Event of Default” means any one or more of the following events:

(i)         the failure by the Company, the Issuer and the Guarantors to pay interest on, or Additional Interest, if any, with respect to, any Note

65

when the same becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for a period of 30 days;

(ii)        the failure by the Company, the Issuer and the Guarantors to pay the principal or premium of any Note when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise;

(iii)       the failure by the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with any of its agreements or covenants in, or provisions of, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture and such failure continues for the period and after the notice specified below (except in the case of a default under Section 4.12 and 4.14, which will constitute Events of Default with notice but without passage of time);

(iv)       the acceleration of any Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that has an outstanding principal amount of $10 million or more, individually or in the aggregate, and such acceleration does not cease to exist, or such Indebtedness is not satisfied, in either case within 30 days after such acceleration;

(v)        the failure by the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to make any principal or interest payment in an amount of $10 million or more, individually or in the aggregate, in respect of Indebtedness (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days of such principal or interest becoming due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period set forth in the documents governing such Indebtedness);

(vi)       a final judgment or judgments that exceed $10 million or more, individually or in the aggregate, for the payment of money having been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and such judgment or judgments is not satisfied, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 60 days of being entered;

(vii)      the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary 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,

66

(C)       consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or

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

(viii)     a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(A)       is for relief against the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case,

(B)       appoints a Custodian of the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary, or

(C)       orders the liquidation of the Company, the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary,

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days;

(ix)       any Guarantee of a Guarantor which is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee and this Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or found to be invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Guarantee); or

(x)        the Liens created by the Security Documents shall at any time not constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the Collateral intended to be covered thereby (to the extent perfection by filing, registration, recordation or possession is required by this Indenture or the Security Documents) other than in accordance with the terms of the relevant Security Document and this Indenture and other than the satisfaction in full of all Obligations under this Indenture or the release or amendment of any such Lien in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or the Security Documents, or, except for expiration in accordance with its terms or amendment, modification, waiver, termination or release in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the relevant Security Document, any of the Security Documents shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to be in full force and effect, if in

67

either case, such default continues for 30 days after notice, or the enforceability thereof shall be contested by the Issuer or any Guarantor.

A Default as described in subclause (iii) above will not be deemed an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25 percent in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 4.12 and 4.14 hereof) the Company does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” If such a Default is cured within such time period, it ceases.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company or the Issuer resulting from subclauses (vii) or (viii) above), shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25 percent in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Upon such declaration of acceleration, the amounts due and payable on the Notes will be due and payable immediately.  If an Event of Default with respect to the Company or the Issuer specified in subclauses (vii) or (viii) above occurs, such an amount will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee and the Company or any Holder.  This provision, however, is subject to the condition that, if at any time after the unpaid principal amount (or such specified amount) of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Issuer shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, upon all of the Notes and the principal of all the Notes which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law and on such principal at the rate borne by the Notes to the date of such payment or deposit) and the reasonable compensation, disbursements, expenses and advances of the Trustee and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07, and any and all defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of such portion of the principal amount of and accrued interest and Additional Interest, if any, on Notes which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured or shall have been waived in accordance with Section 5.03 or provision deemed by the Trustee to be adequate shall have been made therefor, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, no waiver

68

shall be effective against any Holder for any Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default with respect to any covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby, unless all such affected Holders agree, in writing, to waive such Event of Default or other event.

If the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any reason or shall have been determined to be adverse to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

Except with respect to an Event of Default pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 5.01, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to the Trustee by the Issuer, a Paying Agent or any Holder.

Section 5.02.  Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue, in its own name or as trustee of an express trust, any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or the 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.

Section 5.03.  Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders.  By written notice to the Trustee and the Company, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default in the payment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes.  Upon any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.  Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 5.03, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing.

Section 5.04.  Direction of Proceedings.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy

69

available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (subject to the provisions of Section 7.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee shall determine upon advice of counsel that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, its executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers or both shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 5.05.  Application of Moneys Collected by Trustee.  Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article (including any proceeds from Collateral received pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents) with respect to outstanding Notes shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the Notes and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07 except as a result of its negligence or bad faith;

SECOND: If the principal of the Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest or Additional Interest, if any, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes, such payment to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;

THIRD: If the principal of the Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal, interest and Additional Interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes, and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal and interest and Additional Interest, if any, without preference or priority of principal over interest or Additional Interest, if any, or of interest or Additional

70

Interest, if any, over principal, or of interest over Additional Interest, if any, or of any installment of interest, if any, or Additional Interest, if any, over any other installment of interest or Additional Interest, if any, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any; and

Notice to Holders under this Section shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c).

Section 5.11.  Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.  The Company, the Issuer and each Guarantor covenants, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it will 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 or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company, the Issuer or the Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture.  The Company, the Issuer and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.12.  Trustee May File Proof of Claim.  The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee hereunder) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relating to the Company, the Issuer or any Guarantor or their respective creditors or property, and is entitled and empowered

Section 5.13.  Payment of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor.  The Issuer covenants that (a) if default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest and Additional Interest, if any, upon the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (b) if default shall be made in the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, on the Notes as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at maturity of the Notes or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Issuer will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Notes for principal, and premium, if any, or interest and Additional Interest, if any, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon the overdue installments of interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agent, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

ARTICLE 6
GUARANTEES; RELEASE OF GUARANTOR

Section 6.01.  Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors hereby unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to each Holder and to

75

the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:  (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, whether at maturity or on an interest payment date, by acceleration, pursuant to an Offer to Purchase or otherwise, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full when due, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, including all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof, and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

If the Issuer fails to make any payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, to pay the same immediately.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be continuing, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder or the Trustee with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Guarantor.  If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Article 6, to the extent theretofore discharged with respect to any Guarantee, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.  Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby by such Guarantor until payment in full of all such obligations.  Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 hereof for the purposes of such Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (ii) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 5 hereof such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, for the purpose of this Article 6.  In addition, without limiting the foregoing, upon the effectiveness of an acceleration under Article 5, the Trustee may make a demand for payment on the Notes under any Guarantee provided hereunder and not discharged.

76

The Guarantee set forth in this Section 6.01 shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to a Note until the certificate of authentication on such Note shall have been signed by the Trustee or any duly appointed agent.

Section 6.02.  Obligations of each Guarantor Unconditional.  Nothing contained in this Article 6 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any Note is intended to or shall impair, as between each Guarantor and the Holders, the obligations of such Guarantor which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the provisions of their Guarantee or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of such Guarantor, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon any Default under this Indenture in respect of cash, property or securities of such Guarantor received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

Upon any distribution of assets of a Guarantor referred to in this Article 6 the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article 7, the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee or to such Holders for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of other indebtedness of such Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 6.

Section 6.03.  Release of a Guarantor.  (a) If all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor other than the Company or all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor other than the Company is sold (including by consolidation, merger, issuance or otherwise) or disposed of (including by liquidation, dissolution or otherwise) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or, unless the Company elects otherwise, if any Guarantor other than the Company is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor or a designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or the Person acquiring such assets (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from any of its obligations under the Indenture without any further action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of Notes.

77

(b)           An Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under its Guarantee upon notice from the Company to the Trustee to such effect, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

Section 6.04.  Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.  The execution by each Guarantor of the Indenture (or a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B) together with an executed guarantee substantially in the form included in Exhibit A evidences the Guarantee of such Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of the Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note.  The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Guarantee on behalf of each Guarantor.

Section 6.05.  Limitation on Guarantor Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 6, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of a Note, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.  To effectuate that intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law.

Section 6.06.  Article 6 not to Prevent Events of Default.  The failure to make a payment on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes by reason of any provision in this Article 6 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 5.01.

Section 6.07.  Waiver by the Guarantors.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand of performance, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency of bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, the benefit of discussion, protest, notice and all demand whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, in this Indenture and in this Article 6.

Section 6.08.  Subrogation and Contribution.   Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Issuer under this Article, the Guarantor making such payment will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Issuer with respect to such obligation; provided, that the Guarantor may not

78

enforce either any right of subrogation, or any right to receive payment in the nature of contribution, or otherwise, from any other Guarantor, with respect to such payment so long as any amount payable by the Issuer hereunder or under the Notes remains unpaid.

Section 6.09.  Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Issuer under the Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Indenture are nonetheless payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders.

Section 6.10.  Guarantors as “obligors” for Provisions Included in the Indenture Pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act.  Each provision included in the Indenture which is required to be included by any of Sections 310 to 317 of the Trust Indenture Act, inclusive, or is deemed applicable to the Indenture by virtue of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, and which applies to an “obligor,” as that term is defined under the Trust Indenture Act, shall apply to each of the Guarantors; provided that in each case the provisions of TIA §314(b) and §314(d) shall only apply following qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

Section 8.01.  Legal Defeasance and Discharge.  The Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their respective obligations with respect to the Notes, the Guarantees and under the Security Documents and cause the release of all Liens on the Collateral granted under the Security Documents, on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be outstanding only for the purposes of Section 8.04 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) through (f) below, and the Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have satisfied all of their respective obligations under the Notes, the Guarantees, this Indenture and the Security Documents (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments delivered to it by the Issuer acknowledging the same), except of the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below; (b) the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust; (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; (d) the Legal Defeasance provisions of this Indenture; (e) the rights of registration of transfer and exchange of the Notes; and (f) the rights of Holders that are beneficiaries with respect to property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them.

Section 8.02.  Covenant Defeasance.  The Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, be released from their obligations with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees under the covenants contained in Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, clause (iii) of Section 4.14, 4.18 and Article 6 (except for Sections 6.03 and 6.10) and each Guarantor’s obligation under its Guarantee, on and after the date that the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 are satisfied and the Liens on the Collateral granted under the Security Documents will be released (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), 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).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with

84

respect to the Notes and the Guarantees, the Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors 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 to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Notes shall be unaffected thereby.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 hereof, Sections 5.01(iii) (with respect to the covenants so defeased), 5.01(iv), 5.01(v), 5.01(vi), 5.01(ix) and 5.01(x) shall not constitute Events of Default or Defaults hereunder.

Section 8.03.  Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.  The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 hereof to the Notes:

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(a)      the Issuer must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Obligations, 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, without reinvestment, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes on the stated maturity thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Issuer must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(b)      in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law after the date of this Indenture, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance, and will be subject to United States 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;

(c)      in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance, and such Holders will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts,

85

in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d)      no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91^st day after the date of deposit;

(e)      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 the Indenture) to which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound;

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

(g)      the Issuer must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, each stating that the conditions precedent provided for or relating to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, in the case of the Officer’s Certificate, in clauses (a) through (f) and, in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, in clauses (b) and (c) of this paragraph, have been complied with.

Section 8.04.  Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.  Subject to Section 8.05 hereof, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively, and solely for purposes of this Section 8.04, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.08 hereof in respect of the Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or indirectly or through any paying agent (including the Issuer acting as paying agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.03 or Section 8.08 hereof or the principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any,

86

received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Notes.

Subject to the preceding paragraph and Section 7.07 herein, anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay, solely to the extent available in such trust, to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.03 or Section 8.08 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.03(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.05.  Repayment to Issuer.  Any money deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such paying agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such paying agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national editions), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

Section 8.06.  Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or paying agent is unable to apply any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.08 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.08 hereof until such time as the Trustee or paying agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.08 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Note following 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 held by the Trustee or paying agent.

87

Section 8.07.  Survival.  The Trustee’s rights under Article 7 and this Article 8 shall survive termination of this Indenture.

Section 8.08.  Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.  If at any time (a) (i) the Issuer shall have paid or caused to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on all the outstanding Notes (other than Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.04) as and when the same shall have become due and payable, or (ii) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.04), or (b) (i) the Notes mature within one year, or all of them are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for giving the notice of redemption, (ii) the Issuer irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee, as trust funds solely for the benefit of the Holders, money or U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certificate delivered to the Trustee, without consideration of any reinvestment, to pay principal of and premium, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder, (iii) no Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit, (iv) the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is bound, and (v) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with; and if, in any such case, the Issuer shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer (including all amounts, payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07), then, (x) after satisfying the conditions in clause (a), only the Company’s obligations under Sections 7.07 and 8.04 will survive or (y) after satisfying the conditions in clause (b), only the Issuer’s or the Company’s, as applicable, obligations in Article 2 and Sections 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06 will survive, and, in either case, the Trustee, on demand of the Issuer accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge contemplated by this provision have been complied with, and at the cost and expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction and discharging of this Indenture and the Security Documents and cause the release of all Liens on the Collateral granted under the Security Documents.  The Issuer agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred, and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered, by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Notes.

ARTICLE 9
AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

Section 9.01.  Amendments Without Consent of Holders.  The Company, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, Wilmington Trust Company and the Administrative Agent (with respect to the Security Documents) may amend, supplement or waive the Indenture, the Notes or the Security Documents without notice to or the consent of any Holder:

(a)      to evidence the succession of another Person to the Issuer or the Company or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor Person of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Issuer or the Company herein and in the Notes or the Guarantees;

(b)      to add to the covenants of the Issuer or the Company such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the Holders of Notes, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer or the Company, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions such amendment, supplemented indenture or waiver may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes to waive such an Event of Default;

(c)      to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents;

(d)      to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(e)      to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor or replacement Trustee or under the Security Documents of a successor or replacement Collateral Agent;

(f)       to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to, or in place of, Certificated Notes;

(g)      to provide for any Guarantee of the Notes, to add security to or for the benefit of the Notes and, in the case of the Security Documents, to or for the

89

benefit of the other secured parties named therein, or to confirm and evidence the release, termination or discharge of any Guarantee of or Lien securing the Notes when such release, termination or discharge is permitted by the Indenture and the Security Documents;

(h)      to evidence compliance with Section 4.14;

(i)       to make any other change that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder; or

(j)       to conform any provision of the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents to the ‘‘Description of Notes’’ contained in the Issuer’s Confidential Offering Circular dated May 16, 2008 to the extent that the ‘‘Description of Notes’’ was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision in the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents.

In addition, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, Wilmington Trust Company and the Trustee (as applicable) may amend the Security Documents to add additional secured parties to the extent Liens securing Obligations held by such parties are permitted under the Indenture, including that after so securing any such additional secured parties, the amount of First-Priority Lien Obligations does not exceed the amount set forth under clause (i)(b) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.”

Section 9.02.  Amendments with Consent of Holders.  (a) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.01, 5.03 and 5.06 or paragraph (b), the Company, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, Wilmington Trust Company, the Administrative Agent (with respect to the Security Documents) may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer), and the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by the Company, the Issuer and the Guarantors with any provision of the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents (which may include waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer).

(b)      Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a), without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:

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

90

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

(iii)     reduce principal of, or change the fixed maturity of, any Note or alter the provisions (including related definitions) with respect to redemptions described under Article 3 or with respect to mandatory offers to repurchase Notes described under Section 4.10 and Section 4.12,

(iv)     make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note,

(v)      modify the ranking or priority of the Notes or any Guarantee,

(vi)     make any change in Sections 5.03 or 5.06,

(vii)    release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or the Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the Indenture,

(viii)   waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes, or

(ix)     effect a release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents or as otherwise permitted under this Indenture.

(c)        It is not necessary for Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but is sufficient if their consent approves the substance thereof.

(d)        An amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section will become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.  After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Issuer (or the Trustee at the request and expense of the Issuer) will send to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver.  The Issuer will send supplemental indentures to Holders upon request.  Any failure of the Issuer to send such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver.

Section 9.03.  Effect of Consent.  (a) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected.  If the amendment, supplement or

91

waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder.

(b)        If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note that reflects the changed terms.  The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated.  However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver shall not be affected or impaired by any failure to annotate or exchange Notes in this fashion.

Section 9.04.  Trustee’s Rights and Obligations.  The Trustee is entitled to receive, and will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating (i) that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by the Indenture and (ii) in the case of an amendment, supplement or waiver in connection with Section 9.01(i) that such amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the legal rights of any Holder of Notes affected by such change.  If the Trustee has received such an Opinion of Counsel, it shall sign the amendment, supplement or waiver so long as the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee.  The Trustee may, but is not obligated to, execute any amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture.

Section 9.05.  Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.  Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 9.06.  Payments for Consents.  Neither the Issuer, the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid or agreed to be paid to all Holders of Notes that consent, waive or agree to amend such term or provision within the time period set forth in the solicitation documents relating to the consent, waiver or amendment.

92

ARTICLE 10
RANKING OF LIENS

Section 10.01.  Agreement for the Benefit of Holders of First-Priority Liens.  The Trustee and the Collateral Agent agree, and each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note agrees, that:

(a)      the Liens securing the Second-Priority Lien Obligations upon any and all Collateral are, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, subordinate in ranking to all present and future First-Priority Liens; and

(b)      the agreements as to the ranking of the Second-Priority Liens set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement:

(1)           are enforceable by the holders of First-Priority Liens, for the benefit of the holders of First-Priority Lien Obligations secured thereby; and

(2)           will remain enforceable by the holders of First-Priority Liens until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).

(c)      without the necessity of any consent of, or notice to, the Trustee or any holder of Second-Priority Lien Obligations, the Issuer, the Restricted Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent may amend, modify, supplement or terminate any Security Document, subject to the limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement;  provided that the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of any such amendment, modification, supplement or termination (but the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the applicability, validity or enforceability of such amendment);

(d)      as among the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the holders of Second-Priority Lien Obligations and the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations, the holders of the First-Priority Lien Obligations and the Administrative Agent will have the sole ability to control and obtain remedies with respect to all Collateral without the necessity of any consent of or notice to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any such holder, as set forth in more detail in the Intercreditor Agreement;

(e)      any or all Liens as set forth in, and granted under the Security Documents for the benefit of the Holders will be automatically and unconditionally released, without the necessity of any consent of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Holders, upon a release of the First-Priority Liens on

93

such Collateral, but will not be so released upon payment in full of the First-Priority Lien Obligations, subject, in each case, to the exceptions set forth in Section 5.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement; and

(f)       the Indenture, Notes, Guarantees and Security Documents are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 10.02.  Notes, Guarantees and Other Second-Priority Lien Obligations not Subordinated.  The provisions of this Article 10 are intended solely to set forth the relative ranking, as Liens, of the Second-Priority Liens as against the First-Priority Liens.  The Notes and Guarantees are senior non-subordinated obligations of the Issuer and Guarantors.  Neither the Notes, the Guarantees and other Second-Priority Lien Obligations nor the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy for the payment or collection thereof (other than the exercise of rights and remedies of a secured party, which are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) are intended to be, or will ever be by reason of the provisions of this Article 10, in any respect subordinated, deferred, postponed, restricted or prejudiced.

Section 10.03.  Relative Rights.  The Intercreditor Agreement defines the relative rights, as lienholders, of holders of Second-Priority Liens and holders of First-Priority Liens.  Nothing in this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement will:

(a)      impair, as between the Issuer and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms or to perform any other obligation of the Issuer or any other obligor under the Indenture, Notes, Guarantees and Security Documents;

(b)      restrict the right of any Holder of Notes to ▇▇▇ for payments that are then due and owing;

(c)      prevent the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder of Notes from exercising against the Issuer or any other obligor any of its other available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default (other than its rights as a secured party, which are subject to the Intercreditor Agreement); or

(d)      restrict the right of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder of Notes:

(1)           to file and prosecute a petition seeking an order for relief in an involuntary bankruptcy case as to any obligor or otherwise to commence, or seek relief commencing, any insolvency or liquidation proceeding involuntarily against any obligor;

94

(2)           to make, support or oppose any request for an order for dismissal, abstention or conversion in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding;

(3)           to make, support or oppose, in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding, any request for an order extending or terminating any period during which the debtor (or any other Person) has the exclusive right to propose a plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring or liquidation plan therein;

(4)           to seek the creation of, or appointment to, any official committee representing creditors (or certain of the creditors) in any insolvency or liquidation proceedings and, if appointed, to serve and act as a member of such committee without being in any respect restricted or bound by, or liable for, any of the obligations under this Article 10;

(5)           to seek or object to the appointment of any professional person to serve in any capacity in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding or to support or object to any request for compensation made by any professional person or others therein;

(6)           to make, support or oppose any request for order appointing a trustee or examiner in any insolvency or liquidation proceedings; or

(7)           otherwise to make, support or oppose any request for relief in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding that it is permitted by law to make, support or oppose:

(x)            if it were a holder of unsecured claims; or

(y)           as to any matter relating to any plan of reorganization or other restructuring or liquidation plan or as to any matter relating to the administration of the estate or the disposition of the case or proceeding;

in each case, except as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

(a)      Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document, as originally in effect on the Issue Date and as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms or the terms of this Indenture, authorizes and directs the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the Security Documents to which it is a party and authorizes and empowers the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to bind the Holders of Notes and other holders of Second-Priority Lien Obligations as set forth in the Security Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and powers thereunder.

(b)      The Collateral Agent and the Trustee are authorized and empowered to receive for the benefit of the Holders of Notes any funds collected or distributed under the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent or Trustee is a party and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture.

(c)      Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, Section 7.02, Article 10 and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders of Notes, direct, on behalf of the Holders of Notes, the Collateral Agent to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

Section 11.04.  Release of Second-Priority Liens.

(a)      The Second-Priority Liens will be released, with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees:

(1)           in whole, in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement;

(5)           in part, as to any property constituting Collateral that (a) is sold or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or one of the Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person other than the Company, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (but excluding any transaction subject to Section 4.14 where the recipient is required to become the obligor on the Notes or

98

a Guarantee) in a transaction permitted by this Indenture, at the time of such sale or disposition, to the extent of the interest sold or disposed of, (b) is to be released, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement, (c) is owned or at any time acquired by a Restricted Subsidiary that has been released from its Guarantee under this Indenture, concurrently with the release of such Guarantee, or (d) consists of securities of a Guarantor of the Issuer to be released as contemplated by Section 4.18(c); or

(6)           In accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article 9, with the consent of Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes or each Holder affected if required by Section 9.02(b)(ix) (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer).

(b)      If an instrument confirming the release of the Second-Priority Liens pursuant to Section 11.04(a) is requested by the Issuer or a Guarantor, then upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate requesting execution of such an instrument, accompanied by:

(1)           an Opinion of Counsel confirming that such release is permitted by Section 11.04(a);

(2)           all instruments requested by the Issuer to effectuate or confirm such release; and

(3)           such other certificates and documents as the Trustee or Collateral Agent may reasonably request to confirm the matters set forth in Section 11.04(a) that are required by this Indenture or the Security Documents,

the Trustee will, if such instruments and documents are reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and Collateral Agent, instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, and the Collateral Agent will promptly execute and deliver, such instruments.

(c)      All instruments effectuating or confirming any release of any Second-Priority Liens will have the effect solely of releasing such Second-Priority Liens as to the Collateral described therein, on customary terms and without any recourse, representation, warranty or liability whatsoever.

(d)      The Issuer will bear and pay all costs and expenses associated with any release of Second-Priority Liens pursuant to this Section 11.04, including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys or representatives acting for the Trustee or for the Collateral Agent.

99

Section 11.05.  Filing, Recording and Opinions.

(a)      The Issuer will comply with the provisions of TIA §314(b) and §314(d), in each case following qualification of this Indenture pursuant to the TIA.  Any certificate or opinion required by TIA §314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Issuer except in cases where TIA §314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert, who shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Issuer and the Guarantors will not be required to comply with all or any portion of TIA §314(d) if they determine, in good faith based on advice of counsel (which may be internal counsel), that under the terms of that section and/or any interpretation or guidance as to the meaning thereof of the Commission and its staff, including ‘‘no action’’ letters or exemptive orders, all or any portion of TIA §314(d) is inapplicable to the released Collateral.  Following the qualification of this Indenture pursuant to the TIA, to the extent the Issuer is required to furnish to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to TIA §314(b)(2), the Issuer will furnish such opinion prior to each May 27.

Any release of Collateral permitted by Section 11.04 hereof or the Security Documents will be deemed not to impair the Liens under the Indenture and the Security Documents in contravention thereof and any person that is required to deliver a certificate or opinion pursuant to Section 314(d) of the TIA or otherwise under this Indenture or the Security Documents, shall be entitled to rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate or opinion.  The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Section 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained in such documents and opinion.

(b)      If any Collateral is released in accordance with this Indenture or any Security Document at a time when the Trustee is not itself also the Collateral Agent and if the Issuer has delivered the certificates and documents required by the Security Documents and permitted to be delivered by Section 11.04 (if any), the Trustee will determine whether it has received all documentation required by TIA §314(d) in connection with such release and, based on such determination and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 11.04, if any, will, upon request, deliver a certificate to the Collateral Agent setting forth such determination.

ARTICLE 12
RELEASE OF ISSUER AND GUARANTORS

100

obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Notes, by supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, (2) the Company delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee to the effect that Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such release and such Holders will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such release had not occurred and (3) the Issuer shall (w) become a Guarantor subject to the provisions of Article 6 and Section 4.11 hereof, (x) execute a Guarantee, (y) execute a supplemental indenture evidencing its Guarantee and (z) deliver an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee to the effect that the supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions).

ARTICLE 13
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.01.  Trust Indenture Act of 1939.  The Indenture shall incorporate and be governed by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Notes and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture will control; provided however that provisions of TIA §314(b) and §314(d), in each case, shall not apply until qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

Section 13.02.  Holder Communications; Holder Actions.  (a) The rights of Holders to communicate with other Holders with respect to the Indenture or the Notes are as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and the Company and the Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a).  Neither the Company, the Issuer nor the Trustee will be held accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act.

(b)        (i)          any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent to amendment, supplement or waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a Holder (an “act”) may be evidenced by an instrument signed by the Holder delivered to the Trustee.  The fact and date of the

101

execution of the instrument, or the authority of the person executing it, may be proved in any manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.

(ii)         The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders, which will be binding on all the Holders.

(c)        Any act by the Holder of any Note binds that Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the acting Holder, even if no notation thereof appears on the Note.  Subject to paragraph (d), a Holder may revoke an act as to its Notes, but only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver or other consequence of the act becomes effective.

(d)        The Issuer may, but is not obligated to, fix a record date (which need not be within the time limits otherwise prescribed by Trust Indenture Act Section 316(c)) for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to act with respect to any amendment or waiver or in any other regard, except that during the continuance of an Event of Default, only the Trustee may set a record date as to notices of Default, any declaration or acceleration or any other remedies or other consequences of the Event of Default.  If a record date is fixed, those Persons that were Holders at such record date and only those Persons will be entitled to act, or to revoke any previous act, whether or not those Persons continue to be Holders after the record date.  No act will be valid or effective for more than 90 days after the record date.

Section 13.03.  Notices.  (a) Any notice or communication to the Issuer or the Company will be deemed given if in writing (i) when delivered in person or (ii) five days after mailing when mailed by first class mail or (iii) when sent by facsimile transmission, with transmission confirmed.  Notices or communications to a Guarantor will be deemed given if given to the Company.  Any notice to the Trustee will be effective only upon receipt.  In each case the notice or communication should be addressed as follows:

(c)        Where the Indenture provides for notice, the notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and the waiver will be the equivalent of the notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders must be filed with the Trustee, but such filing is not a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waivers.

Section 13.04.  Certificate and Opinion as to Conditions Precedent.  Upon any request or application by the Issuer or the Company to the Trustee to take any action under the Indenture, the Issuer or the Company will furnish to the Trustee:

104

upon which such certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

Section 13.07.  Governing Law.  The Indenture, the Guarantees and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Section 13.08.  No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.  The Indenture may not be used to interpret another indenture or loan or debt agreement of the Issuer, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and no such indenture or loan or debt agreement may be used to interpret the Indenture.

Section 13.13.  No Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Partners, Incorporators and Stockholders.  No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, or in the Notes, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, as such or against any past, present or future stockholder, officer, director or employee, as such, of the Issuer, the Company or the Guarantors or any partner of the Issuer, the Company or the Guarantors or of any successor, either directly or through the Issuer, the Company or the Guarantors or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Notes by the Holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes.

Section 13.14.  Provisions of Indenture for the Sole Benefit of Parties and Holders of Notes.  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and the Holders of Notes, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and of the Holders of Notes.
