(i)                                     interest on outstanding Indebtedness determined on a fluctuating basis as of the Transaction Date and which will continue to be so determined thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Indebtedness in effect (taking into account any Hedging Obligations or Swap Contract applicable to such Indebtedness) on the Transaction Date; and

SECTION 1.5  Limited Condition Acquisition.  In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Company, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has exercised its option under the first sentence of this Section 1.5, and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder.

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of:

(i)                                     determining compliance with any provision of this Indenture which requires the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Secured Leverage Ratio or Total Net Leverage Ratio; or

(ii)                                  testing baskets set forth in this Indenture (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets);

in each case, at the option of the Company (the Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date

47

the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the Company are available, the Company could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios, baskets or amounts for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, basket or amount, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets of the Company or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition or any applicable currency exchange rate, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, ratios or amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.  If the Company has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

The form of the Notes of such series, as set forth in Exhibit A or B as the case may be, may be modified to reflect such matters as so established in such Notes Supplemental Indenture.

Such matters may also be established in a Notes Supplemental Indenture for any Additional Notes issued hereunder that are to be of the same series as any Notes previously issued hereunder.  Notes that have the same terms described in the foregoing clauses (1) though (9) will be treated as the same series, unless otherwise designated by the Company.

SECTION 2.5  Denominations.  The Notes shall be issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 (the “Minimum Denomination”), and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 2.6  Execution, Authentication and Delivery and Dating.  The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one Officer thereof.  The signature of any such Officer on the Notes may be manual or by facsimile.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time an Officer of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such office at the date of such Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver (i) Initial Notes for original issue in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250.0 million, (ii) Additional Notes in one or more series (which may be of the same series as any Notes previously issued hereunder, or of a different series) from time to time for original issue in aggregate principal amounts specified by the Company and (iii) Exchange Notes from time to time for issue in exchange for a like principal amount of Initial Notes or Initial Additional Notes, in each case specified in clauses (i) through (iii) above, upon a written order of the Company in the form of a Company Order (an “Authentication Order”).  Such Company Order shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, the “CUSIP,” “ISIN,” “Common Code” or other similar identification numbers of such Notes, if any, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Additional Notes or Exchange Notes and whether the Notes are to be issued as one or more Global Notes or Physical Notes and such other information as the Company may include or the Trustee may reasonably request.

All Notes shall be dated the date of their authentication.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.7  Temporary Notes.  Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate

54

temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes.  If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company shall execute and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations.  Until so exchanged the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes of the same series and tenor.

SECTION 2.8  Registrar and Paying Agent.  The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes.  The Company may have one or more co-registrars.  The term “Note Registrar” includes any co-registrars.

The Company may have one or more additional paying agents, and the term “Paying Agent” shall include any additional Paying Agent.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as “Note Registrar” and “Paying Agent” in connection with the Notes, until such time as it has resigned or a successor has been appointed.  The Company may change the Paying Agent or Note Registrar for any series of Notes without prior notice to the Holders of Notes.  The Company may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Note Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture.  Any such agency agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent.  If the Company fails to appoint or maintain a Note Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.6.  The Company or any wholly owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may act as Paying Agent or Note Registrar.

Upon surrender for transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, in compliance with all applicable requirements of this Indenture and applicable law, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.

At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.  Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

55

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

Every Note presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration, transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company and/or Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, transfer or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption (or purchase) of Notes selected for redemption (or purchase) under Section 5.3(b) and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to transfer or exchange any Note so selected for redemption (or purchase) in whole or in part.

SECTION 2.9  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes.  If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Company or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Note Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Company or the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee.  If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Note Registrar from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 2.9, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.9 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

56

The provisions of this Section 2.9 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

SECTION 2.10  Payment of Interest Rights Preserved.  Interest on any Note that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest specified in Section 4 of the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture.

Unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 2.4, any interest on any Note that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at their election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:

(1)                                 The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.  The Company shall notify the Trustee and Paying Agent in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee or Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this clause (1).  Thereupon the Company shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee and the Paying Agent of the notice of the proposed payment.  The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be sent to each Holder at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Note Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so sent, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

(2)                                 The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee and the Paying Agent of

57

the proposed payment pursuant to this clause (2), such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note of the same series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Note of such series.

SECTION 2.11  Persons Deemed Owners.  The Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and (subject to Section 2.10) interest on, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent  nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

SECTION 2.12  Cancellation.  All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, exchange or conversion shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it.  The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee.  No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 2.12, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act).

SECTION 2.13  Computation of Interest.  Unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 2.4, interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

SECTION 2.14  CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc.  The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee may use the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes; that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes; and that any redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company should promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any change in any “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or “Common Code” number, but failure to so notify the Trustee shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default by the Company.

SECTION 2.15  Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes.

(a)                                 Each Global Note initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Note or the nominee of such Depositary, in each case for credit to the account of an Agent Member, and (ii) be delivered to the Notes Custodian.  None of the Company, the

58

Trustee nor any of their agents shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

(b)                                 Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Notes Custodian, or under such Global Notes.  The Depositary may be treated by the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee and any agent of any of them as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, any other obligor upon the Notes, the Trustee or any agent of any of them from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Note.  The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

The Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

(c)                                  Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees.  Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may not be transferred or exchanged for Physical Notes unless (i) the Company has consented thereto in writing, or such transfer or exchange is made pursuant to the next sentence, and (ii) such transfer or exchange is in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Sections 2.8 and 2.16.  Subject to the limitation on issuance of Physical Notes set forth in Section 2.16(3), Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the relevant Global Note, if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 120 days; (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a “Clearing Agency” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a successor depositary is not appointed within 120 days; (iii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause the issuance of Physical Notes; or (iv) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Notes and the Trustee has received a written request from the Depositary to issue Physical Notes.

(d)                                 In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Note to beneficial owners for Physical Notes pursuant to Section 2.15(c), the Note Registrar shall record on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and principal amount of authorized denominations.

59

(e)                                  In connection with a transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.15(c), the applicable Global Note shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary, in exchange for its beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Rule 144A Physical Notes (in the case of any Rule 144A Global Note), Regulation S Physical Notes (in the case of any Regulation S Global Note) or other applicable Physical Notes, as the case may be, of authorized denominations.

(f)                                   The transfer and exchange of a Global Note or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2.16) and the applicable rules and procedures therefor of the Depositary.  Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in a different Global Note will, upon transfer, 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 restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Note for as long as it remains such an interest.  A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver to the Note Registrar a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable rules and procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in the relevant Global Note (or shall otherwise comply with the then applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary).  Subject to Section 2.16, the Note Registrar shall, in accordance with such instructions, instruct the Depositary to credit to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in such Global Note and to debit the account of the Person making the transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.

(g)                                  Any Physical Note delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to Section 2.15(c) shall, unless such exchange is made on or after the Resale Restriction Termination Date applicable to such Note and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.3 and Section 2.16, bear the Private Placement Legend.

(h)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, through the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Regulation S Global Note may be held only through designated Agent Members holding on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream unless delivery is made in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.16.

SECTION 2.16  Special Transfer Provisions.

(1)                                 Transfers to Non-U.S. Persons.  The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note that is a Restricted Security (within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act) to any Non-U.S. Person:  The Note Registrar shall register such transfer if it complies with all other applicable requirements of this Indenture (including Section 2.8) and,

(a)                                 if (x) such transfer is after the relevant Resale Restriction Termination Date with respect to such Note or (y) the proposed transferor has delivered to the Note Registrar and the Company and the Trustee a Regulation S Certificate and, unless

60

otherwise agreed by the Company and the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel, certifications and other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee, and

(b)                                 if the proposed transferor is or is acting through an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in a Global Note, upon receipt by the Note Registrar and the Company and the Trustee of (x) the certificate, opinion, certifications and other information, if any, required by clause (a) above and (y) written instructions given in accordance with the procedures of the Note Registrar and of the Depositary;

whereupon (i) the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and (if the transfer does not involve a transfer of any Outstanding Physical Note) a decrease in the principal amount of the relevant Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the relevant Global Note to be transferred; and (ii) either (A) if the proposed transferee is or is acting through an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in a relevant Regulation S Global Note, the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of such Regulation S Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest being so transferred or (B) otherwise the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical Notes of like tenor and amount.

(2)                                 Transfers to QIBs.  The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note that is a Restricted Security (within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act) to a QIB (excluding transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):  The Note Registrar shall register such transfer if it complies with all other applicable requirements of this Indenture (including Section 2.8) and,

(a)                                 if such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the form of such Note stating, or has otherwise certified to the Note Registrar and the Company and the Trustee in writing, that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the form of such Note stating, or has otherwise certified to Note Registrar and the Company and the Trustee in writing, that it is purchasing such Note for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and

(b)                                 if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Note to be transferred consists of a Physical Note that after transfer is to be evidenced by an interest in a Global Note or consists of a beneficial interest in a Global Note that after the transfer is to be evidenced by an interest in a different Global Note, upon receipt by the Note Registrar of written instructions given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Note Registrar’s procedures, whereupon the Note Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the transferee Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Physical Note or such beneficial interest

61

in such transferor Global Note to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical Note so transferred or reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such transferor Global Note, as the case may be.

(3)                                 Limitation on Issuance of Physical Notes.  No Physical Note shall be exchanged for a beneficial interest in any Global Note, except in accordance with Section 2.15 and this Section 2.16.

A beneficial owner of an interest in a Regulation S Global Note shall not be permitted to exchange such interest for a Physical Note (any such exchange being limited, in any case, to the circumstances set forth in Section 2.15(c)) or (in the case of such interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Note) an interest in a Permanent Regulation S Global Note until a date, which must be after the Distribution Compliance Date, on which the Company receives a certificate of beneficial ownership substantially in the form of Exhibit C from such beneficial owner (a “Certificate of Beneficial Ownership”).  Such date, as it relates to a Regulation S Global Note, is herein referred to as the “Regulation S Note Exchange Date.”

(4)                                 Private Placement Legend.  Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Note Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend.  Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Note Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer is after the relevant Resale Restriction Termination Date with respect to such Notes, (ii) upon written request of the Company after there is delivered to the Note Registrar an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion and counsel are satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act, (iii) with respect to a Regulation S Global Note (on or after the Resale Restriction Termination Date with respect to such Regulation S Global Note) or Regulation S Physical Note, in each case with the agreement of the Company, or (iv) such Notes are sold or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

(5)                                 Other Transfers.  The Note Registrar shall effect and register, upon receipt of a written request from the Company to do so, a transfer not otherwise permitted by this Section 2.16, such registration to be done in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of this Section 2.16, upon the furnishing by the proposed transferor or transferee of a written Opinion of Counsel (which opinion and counsel are satisfactory to the Company) to the effect that, and such other certifications or information as the Company or the Trustee may require (including, in the case of a transfer to an Accredited Investor (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act), a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F) to confirm that, the proposed transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

A Note that is a Restricted Security (within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act) may not be transferred other than as provided in this Section 2.16.  A beneficial interest in a Global Note that is a Restricted Security (within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act) may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Note other than through a transfer in compliance with this Section 2.16.

62

(6)                                 General.  By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture.

The Note Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.15 or this Section 2.16 (including all Notes received for transfer pursuant to this Section 2.16).  The Company shall have the right to require the Note Registrar to deliver to the Company, at the Company’s expense, copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Note Registrar.

In connection with any transfer of any Note, the Trustee, the Note Registrar and the Company shall be entitled to receive, shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in relying upon the certificates, opinions and other information referred to herein (or in the forms provided herein, attached hereto or to the Notes, or otherwise) received from any Holder and any transferee of any Note regarding the validity, legality and due authorization of any such transfer, the eligibility of the transferee to receive such Note and any other facts and circumstances related to such transfer.

(c)                                  Prior to any Interest Payment Date on which any such additional interest is payable, the Company shall give notice to the Trustee of the amount of any additional interest due on such Interest Payment Date.  The Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or verify the calculation of any additional interest that is payable as determined by the Company.

SECTION 2.18  Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.  The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes.  The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by such Paying Agent to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than either of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.  If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.

SECTION 3.1  Payment of Notes.  The Company shall promptly pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes and in this Indenture.  Principal, premium, if any, and interest shall be considered paid on the date due if by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance with this Indenture money sufficient to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due and the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified therefor in the Notes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Company may, to the extent they are required to do so by law, deduct or withhold income or other similar taxes imposed by the United States of America from principal or interest payments hereunder.

SECTION 3.2  Reports and Other Information.

(a)                                 So long as any Notes are outstanding notwithstanding that following the Issue Date the Company may not be required to be or remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will file with the SEC (unless such filing is not permitted under the Exchange Act or by the SEC), so long as the Notes are outstanding, the annual reports, information, documents and other reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) or would be so required to file if the Company were so subject (the “Required Filing Dates”); provided that at any time the Company is not required to be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the Company is not permitted by the Exchange Act or the SEC to file with the SEC the annual reports, information, documents and other reports that it would be required to file if it were subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will within 15 days of each Required Filing Date provide to the Trustee and, upon request, to Holders a copy of all of the information and reports (without exhibits) it would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) if it were so subject.

(b)                                 So long as any Notes are outstanding, within 10 Business Days either prior to or after furnishing or being deemed to have furnished to the Trustee annual reports, information, documents and other reports required by Section 3.2(a), the Company will hold a conference call to discuss such reports and the results of operations for the relevant reporting period (it being

64

understood that such conference call may be the same conference call as with the Company’s equity investors and analysts).

(c)                                  So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will hold quarterly conference calls for the Holders of the Notes to discuss financial information for the previous quarter (it being understood that such quarterly conference call may be the same conference call as with the Company’s equity investors and analysts). The conference call will be following the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company and not later than 10 Business Days from the time that the Company furnishes or is deemed to have furnished the financial information required by Section 3.2(a). Not fewer than two days prior to any annual or quarterly conference call, as applicable, the Company will issue a press release announcing the time and date of such conference call and providing instructions for Holders, securities analysts and prospective investors to obtain access to such call.

(d)                                 The Company will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 3.2(a) by furnishing financial information relating to any Parent Entity instead of the Company; provided that to the extent such information related to such Parent Entity, such information is accompanied by consolidating information, which may be unaudited, that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information of such Parent Entity, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand.

(e)                                  Delivery of reports, information and documents (including without limitation reports contemplated under this Section 3.2) to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

SECTION 3.3  Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

(a)                                 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided that the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, determined on a Pro Forma Basis, including as if any such Indebtedness (including any other Indebtedness being Incurred contemporaneously), and any other Indebtedness Incurred since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period (as defined below) had been Incurred and the proceeds thereof had been applied at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, and any other Indebtedness repaid since the beginning of the Four Quarter Period had been repaid at the beginning of the Four Quarter Period, would be equal to or greater than 2.00:1.00.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 3.3(a), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur Permitted Debt.

(c)                                  For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this Section 3.3, Guarantees or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Indebtedness

65

otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.3, (x) in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above, including categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.3(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, shall divide or classify, and from time to time may divide or reclassify, all or any portion of such item of Indebtedness; provided that Indebtedness Incurred under the Credit Facilities on the Issue Date shall at all times be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Debt”; provided, further that (if the Company shall so determine) any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to clauses (10) and (22) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” shall cease to be deemed outstanding for purposes of any such clause but shall instead be deemed Incurred for the purposes of Section 3.3(a) from and after the first date on which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary could have Incurred such Indebtedness under Section 3.3(a) without reliance on such clause; (y) if any Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance Indebtedness initially Incurred (or, Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance Indebtedness initially Incurred) in reliance on any provision of the definition of “Permitted Debt” measured by reference to a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets, and such Refinancing would cause the percentage of Consolidated Total Assets restriction to be exceeded if calculated based on the Consolidated Total Assets on the date of such Refinancing, such percentage of Consolidated Total Assets restriction shall not be deemed to be exceeded (and such newly Incurred Indebtedness shall be deemed permitted) to the extent the principal amount of such newly Incurred Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced, plus the Related Costs Incurred or payable in connection with such Refinancing; and (z) if any Indebtedness is Incurred to Refinance Indebtedness initially Incurred (or, Indebtedness Incurred to Refinance Indebtedness initially Incurred) in reliance on any provision of the definition of “Permitted Debt” measured by a dollar amount, such dollar amount shall not be deemed to be exceeded (and such newly Incurred Indebtedness shall be deemed permitted) to the extent the principal amount of such newly Incurred Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced, plus the Related Costs Incurred or payable in connection with such Refinancing. The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness or payment of dividends on Capital Interests in the forms of additional shares of Capital Interests with the same terms will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness.

(d)                                 For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness (or any category of Permitted Liens described in the definition thereof), the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in another currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was first Incurred or Liens securing such Indebtedness were granted, in the case of term Indebtedness, or such Indebtedness was first committed or first Incurred or Liens securing such Indebtedness was granted, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred (or commitments established) as Refinancing Indebtedness to refinance Indebtedness (or unutilized commitments in respect of Indebtedness) denominated in another currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable provision of this Section 3.3 (or category of Permitted Liens) to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such provision of this Section 3.3 (or category of Permitted Liens) refinancing, shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such

66

Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) an amount equal to any unutilized commitment related to the Indebtedness being Refinanced, plus (iii) the Related Costs.

SECTION 3.4  Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(a)                                 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment unless, at the time of and after giving effect to the proposed Restricted Payment:

(i)                                     no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or will occur as a consequence thereof;

(ii)                                  after giving effect to such Restricted Payment on a Pro Forma Basis, the Company would be permitted to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 3.3(a); and

(iii)                               after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the aggregate amount for all Restricted Payments made on or after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xiv), (xv) and (xvi) of Section 3.4(b)) shall not exceed the sum (without duplication) of:

(1)                                 50% of the Consolidated Net Income (or, if Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit) of the Company accrued on a cumulative basis during the period (taken as one accounting period) from October 1, 2015 and ending on the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial information is available at the time of such Restricted Payment, plus

(2)                                 100% of the aggregate net proceeds (including the Fair Market Value of property other than cash) received by the Company subsequent to the Issue Date either (i) as a contribution to its common equity capital or (ii) from the issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary) of its Qualified Capital Interests, including Qualified Capital Interests issued upon the conversion or exchange of Indebtedness (including Redeemable Capital Interests) of the Company, and from the exercise of options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Qualified Capital Interests (other than, in each case, Capital Interests or Indebtedness issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Company), plus

(3)                                 100% of the net reduction in Restricted Investments, made by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary subsequent to the Issue Date, in any Person, resulting from (i) payments of interest on Indebtedness, dividends, repayments of loans or advances, or any sale or disposition of such Restricted Investments (but only to the extent such items are not included in the calculation of Consolidated Net Income), or (ii) the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (or the causing of a Person that is not a Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary),

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 3.4(a), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may take the following actions:

67

(i)                                     the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any redemption within 60 days after declaration thereof or the giving of such notice, as applicable, if, at the declaration date or notice thereof, such payment or redemption would have complied with this Section 3.4;

(ii)                                  the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement of any Capital Interests of the Company by conversion into, or by or in exchange for, Qualified Capital Interests, or out of net cash proceeds of the sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Qualified Capital Interests of the Company or a capital contribution to the Company; provided, however, that (x) the net cash proceeds from such sale of Qualified Capital Interests or such capital contribution will be excluded from Section 3.4(a)(iii)(2) to the extent applied to any such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement and (y) such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, or other acquisition or retirement shall occur within 60 days after the consummation of any such sale;

(iii)                               the redemption, defeasance, repurchase or acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Obligations out of the net cash proceeds of (x) Refinancing Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, Incurred in accordance with this Indenture or (y)  the issue and sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of Qualified Capital Interests of the Company; provided that such redemption, defeasance, repurchase or acquisition or retirement for value shall occur within 60 days after the consummation of any such issue and sale;

(iv)                              the purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition for value of Capital Interests in the Company or any Parent Entity (or any payments to a Parent Entity for the purposes of permitting any such repurchase) held by directors, officers, consultants, employees, former directors, former officers, former consultants or former employees of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or Parent Entity (or their Immediate Family Members, estates or beneficiaries under their estates) upon death, disability, retirement or termination of employment or service or alteration of employment or service status or pursuant to the terms of any agreement under which such Capital Interests were issued (including any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan or agreement, or any stock subscription or shareholder agreement) and, for the avoidance of doubt, including any principal and interest payable on any promissory notes issued by the Company or any Parent Entity in connection with such repurchase, retirement or other acquisition, including any Capital Interests rolled over by management of the Company in connection with the Transactions; provided that the aggregate cash consideration paid for such purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of such Capital Interests does not exceed $5.0 million in any calendar year; provided, further, that any unused amounts in any calendar year may be carried forward; provided, however, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed (A) the cash proceeds received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from the sale of Qualified Capital Interests of the Company or any direct or indirect Parent Entity of the Company (to the extent contributed to the Company) to employees or consultants of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that occurs after the Issue Date; provided, however, that

70

(xvi)                       the declaration and payment of dividends, other distributions or other amounts to, or the making of loans to, any Parent Entity, in the amount required for such Parent Entity to, if applicable:

(a)                                 pay amounts equal to the amounts required for any Parent Entity to pay fees and expenses (including Related Taxes), customary salary, bonus and other benefits payable to, and indemnities provided on behalf of, future, present or former officers, employees, directors, managers, consultants or independent contractors of any Parent Entity, if applicable, and general corporate operating (including, without limitation, expenses related to auditing and other accounting matters) and overhead costs and expenses of Parent Entity, if applicable, in each case to the extent such fees, expenses, salaries, bonuses, benefits and indemnities are attributable to the ownership or operation of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

(e)                                  finance, or to make payments to any other Parent Entity to finance, any Investment that, if consummated by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, would be a Permitted Investment; provided that (i) such Restricted Payment is made substantially concurrently with the closing of such Investment and (ii) promptly following the closing thereof, such Parent Entity causes (x) all property acquired (whether assets or Capital Interests) to be contributed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (y) the merger, consolidation or amalgamation (to the extent permitted by Section 4.1) of the Person formed or acquired into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in order to consummate such acquisition or Investment, in each case, in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.10.

(c)                                  If the Company makes a Restricted Payment which, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, in the good faith determination of the Company, would be permitted under the requirements of this Indenture, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to have been

71

made in compliance with this Indenture notwithstanding any subsequent adjustment made in good faith to the Company’s financial statements affecting Consolidated Net Income.

(e)                                  For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 3.4, in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment or Investment (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Restricted Payments described in Section 3.4(b)(i) through (xvi) and/or one or more of the clauses contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments,” or is entitled to be made pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Company will be entitled to divide or classify (or later divide, classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such Restricted Payment or Investment (or portion thereof) among such clauses (i) through (xvi) of Section 3.4(b) and such Section 3.4(a) and/or one or more of the clauses contained in the definition of “Permitted Investments,” in a manner that otherwise complies with this Section 3.4, except that the Company may not reclassify any Restricted Payment as being made under Section 3.4(b)(xiv) if originally made pursuant to one or more of clauses (i) through (xiii) or clause (xv) of Section 3.4(b) or pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(iii).

(a)                                 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create, Incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, unless all payments due under this Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured (or in the case of Subordinated Obligations, prior or senior thereto, with the same relative priority as the Notes shall have with respect to such Subordinated Obligations) until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

(b)                                 Any Lien which is granted to secure the Notes or such Guarantee pursuant to Section 3.5(a) shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien (other than a release following enforcement of remedies in respect of such Lien or the Obligations secured by such Lien) that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Notes or such Guarantee pursuant to Section 3.5(a).

SECTION 3.6  Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, cause or suffer to exist or become effective or enter into any encumbrance or restriction (other than pursuant to this Indenture or any law, rule, regulation or order) on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Interests to the Company or any Guarantor or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company

72

or any Guarantor, (ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any Guarantor or (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Guarantor.

However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to the following encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(a)                                 any encumbrance or restriction in existence on the Issue Date, including those under the Credit Agreement, and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided that the amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings, in the good faith judgment of the Company, are no more restrictive in any material respect, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend or other payment restrictions than those contained in these agreements on the Issue Date or refinancings thereof;

(b)                                 any encumbrance or restriction which exists with respect to an acquired property in existence at the time of such acquisition pursuant to an agreement, so long as the encumbrances or restrictions in any such agreement relate solely to the property so acquired (and are not or were not created in anticipation of or in connection with the acquisition thereof);

(c)                                  any encumbrance or restriction which exists with respect to a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or merges or amalgamates with or into a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on or after the Issue Date, which is in existence at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, but not created in connection with or in anticipation of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, and which is not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Person or the property or assets of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary;

(d)                                 any encumbrance or restriction under the terms of Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred to renew, refund, replace, refinance or extend any agreement containing any encumbrance or restriction referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), so long as the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such Refinancing Indebtedness are no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being renewed, refunded, replaced, refinanced, or extended, in the good faith judgment of the Company;

(e)                                  customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease, contract, or license of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or any rights thereunder;

(f)                                   any encumbrance or restriction by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(g)                                  any encumbrance or restriction under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees;

73

(h)                                 any encumbrance or restriction under a contract for the sale or other disposition of assets or Capital Interests, including, without limitation, any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Subsidiary, that restricts distributions of the applicable assets or Capital Interests to be issued or sold, or of any assets of a Subsidiary to be sold, pending such sale or other disposition;

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

(j)                                    customary provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of property or assets in joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, stock sale agreements (including underwriting agreements), sale leaseback agreements and other similar agreements;

(k)                                 any restriction with respect to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (or any of its property or assets) imposed by customary provisions in Hedging Obligations or Swap Contracts, in each case, not entered into for speculative purposes;

(l)                                     Purchase Money Indebtedness and Capital Lease Obligations permitted under this Indenture for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property so acquired of the nature described in clause (iii) of the first paragraph hereof;

(m)                             Liens securing Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred under this Indenture, including the provisions of Section 3.5; and

(n)                                 any other agreement governing Indebtedness entered into after the Issue Date that contains encumbrances and restrictions that (x) are not materially more restrictive with respect to any Restricted Subsidiary than those in effect on the Issue Date with respect to that Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to agreements in effect on the Issue Date (in each case, as determined by the Company in good faith) or (y) would not materially affect the Company’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes (as determined by the Company in good faith);

(o)                                 any encumbrance or restriction contained in Secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.5 to the extent limiting the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness; and

(p)                                 any encumbrance or restriction arising or agreed to in the ordinary course of business, not relating to any Indebtedness, and that, individually or in the aggregate, (x) do not detract from the value of the property or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any manner material to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or (y) do not materially affect the Company’s ability to make future principal or interest payments on the Notes, in each case under this clause (p), as determined by the Company in good faith.

74

Nothing contained in this Section 3.6 shall prevent the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from (i) creating, Incurring, assuming or suffering to exist any Liens otherwise permitted in Section 3.5 or (ii) restricting the sale or other disposition of property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that secure Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurred in accordance with Sections 3.3 and 3.5.

SECTION 3.7  Limitation on Asset Sales.

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

(i)                                     the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date a legally binding commitment for such Asset Sale was entered into) of the assets or Capital Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii)                                  at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Eligible Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this Section 3.7(a) (ii), each of the following will be deemed to be cash:

(a)                                 any liabilities, as shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary assignment and assumption agreement that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;

(b)                                 any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of their receipt to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

(c)                                  any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the date a legally binding commitment for the relevant Asset Sale (or, if later, for the payment of such item) was entered into), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $50.0 million and (y) 3.00% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time the applicable agreement was entered into, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time each applicable agreement was entered into without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; and

75

(d)                                 any Investment, stock, asset, property or capital expenditure of the kind referred to in clause (3), (4) or (5) of Section 3.7(b).

(b)                                 Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale (the “Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period”), the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Cash Proceeds at its option:

(1)                                 to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase any secured Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Obligations) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and cause such Indebtedness to be permanently retired and the related commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or repurchased;

(2)                                 to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase any unsecured Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Obligations) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and cause such Indebtedness to be permanently retired and the related commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or repurchased; provided that to the extent the Company (or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) repays any such Indebtedness other than the Notes, the Company shall offer to purchase an equal and ratable amount of the Notes as provided under Article V by making an Offer to Purchase (in accordance with the procedures set forth below relating to Asset Sales) to all Holders of Notes to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase;

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

(4)                                 to make a capital expenditure in or that is used or useful (as determined in the good faith judgment of the Company) in a Permitted Business or to make expenditures for maintenance, repair or improvement of existing properties and assets in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

(5)                                 to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful (as determined in the good faith judgment of the Company) in a Permitted Business; or

(6)                                 any combination of the foregoing;

provided that, (x) in the case of clause (3), (4) and (5) of this Section 3.7(b), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of the end of the Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and such Net Cash Proceeds are actually applied in such manner within the later of 365 days from the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale

76

and 540 days from the receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale where there is an Acceptable Commitment within 365 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Cash Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds to the extent the Asset Sale Proceeds Application Period has expired; and (y) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may elect to apply the Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale pursuant to clause (3), (4) or (5) of this Section 3.7(b)  prior to receiving Net Cash Proceeds attributable to any given Asset Sale (provided that such application shall be made no earlier than the earliest of notice to the Trustee of the relevant Asset Sale, execution of a definitive agreement for the relevant Asset Sale, and consummation of the relevant Asset Sale) and deem the amount so invested to be applied pursuant to and in accordance with any or all of such clauses with respect to such Asset Sale.

(c)                                  Any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 3.7(b) covenant will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds the greater of (x) 25.0 million and (y) 1.50% of Consolidated Total Assets, the Company will, within 30 days, make an Offer to Purchase to all Holders of Notes (on a pro rata basis to each series of Notes), and to all holders of other Indebtedness ranking pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to assets sales, in an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Offer to Purchase will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Offer to Purchase, the Company may use those funds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture and they will no longer constitute Excess Proceeds. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and other Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered into such Offer to Purchase exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee will select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis or by lot among each series; provided that Notes shall only be selected in the authorized denominations permitted herein and no Note shall remain that is below the minimum denomination of $2,000. Upon completion of each Offer to Purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.

(d)                                 Pending the final application of any Net Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 3.7(b) or (c), such Net Cash Proceeds may be applied temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or may otherwise be invested in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(e)                                  The Company will comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 3.7, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this Section 3.7 by virtue of such compliance.

(f)                                   The provisions of this Section 3.7 relating to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to purchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Sale, including the definition of “Asset Sale,” may be waived or modified at any time (including after Net Cash Proceeds have been

77

received) with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

SECTION 3.8  Transactions with Affiliates.

(a)                                 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of related transactions, contract, agreement, loan, advance or Guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company involving aggregate consideration in excess of $2.5 million (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(i)                                     such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary than those that could reasonably have been obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction by the Company or such Subsidiary with a Person who is not an Affiliate; and

(ii)                                  with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or any Parent Entity approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above.

(b)                                 For purposes of Section 3.8(a), any Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements set forth in Section 3.8(a) if such Affiliate Transaction is approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors.

(c)                                  Section 3.8(a) does not limit, and shall not apply to:

(1)                                 Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 3.4, Investments permitted pursuant to the definition of Permitted Investments (other than pursuant to clause (6) of such definition) and any transaction specifically excluded from the definition of the term “Restricted Payment”;

(2)                                 transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3)                                 any agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date and any amendment or modification thereto so long as such amendment or modification is no less favorable in any material respect to the Holders of the Notes;

(5)                                 transactions permitted by, and complying with, Section 4.1;

(6)                                 any transaction with a joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) that would constitute an

78

Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in such joint venture, partnership, limited liability company or other entity;

(7)                                 transactions with customers, distributors, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case, in the ordinary course of business and on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as determined in good faith by the Company, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company;

(8)                                 any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, equity purchase agreements, stock options, long term incentive plans and stock ownership plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Company;

(9)                                 any purchase of Capital Interests (other than Redeemable Capital Interests) of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or any contribution to the equity capital of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary;

(10)                          (i) payments by the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any tax sharing agreements among any of a Parent Entity, the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on customary terms that require each party to make payments when taxes are due or refunds received of amounts equal to the income tax liabilities and refunds generated by each such party and (ii) payments by any Parent Entity, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to any tax sharing agreements among such Parent Entity, the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on customary terms that require each party to make payments when taxes are due or refunds received of amounts equal to the income tax liabilities and refunds generated by each such party calculated on a separate return basis, and payments to the party generating tax benefits and credits of amounts equal to the value of such tax benefits and credits made available to the party making the payments;

(11)                          transactions in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from a nationally recognized investment bank or accounting or appraisal firm stating substantially to the effect that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s length basis;

(12)                          payments, loans, advances or guarantees (or cancellation of loans, advances or Guarantees) to future, present or former employees, officers, directors, managers, consultants or independent contractors of the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary or of any Parent Entity or Guarantees in respect thereof for bona fide business purposes or in the ordinary course of business;

79

(13)                          transactions between the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Person that would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because such Person is a director or such Person has a director which is also a director of the Company or any Parent Entity; provided, however, that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Company or such direct or indirect parent of the Company, as the case may be, on any matter involving such other Person;

SECTION 3.9  Change of Control.

(a)                                 Prior to or within 30 days following a Change of Control with respect to any series of Notes, the Company will make an Offer to Purchase all of the outstanding Notes of such series at a purchase price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101.0% of the principal amount tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record of such series on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling prior to or on the Purchase Date), except to the extent the Company has previously elected to redeem all of the Notes of such series pursuant to Article V.  For purposes of the foregoing, an Offer to Purchase shall be deemed to have been made if (i) within 30 days following a Change of Control, the Company commences an Offer to Purchase for all outstanding Notes at the Purchase Price and (ii) all Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase are purchased on the terms of such Offer to Purchase.

(b)                                 In connection with any Offer to Purchase made pursuant to Section 3.9(a), the Company shall deliver a notice (a “Change of Control Notice”; together with the related Offer to Purchase, a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the applicable series with a copy to the Trustee, describing:

(i)                                     that a Change of Control has occurred or may occur;

(ii)                                  the transaction or transactions that constitute or are expected to constitute such Change of Control;

(iii)                               the Purchase Date (which shall be no earlier than 10 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is given, except that such notice may be given more than 60 days prior to the Purchase Date if the Purchase Date is delayed as provided in Section 3.9(b)(ix)) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(iv)                              that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(v)                                 [reserved];

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

(vii)                           that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the expiration time of the Change of Control Offer, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, e-mail or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;

(viii)                        [reserved];

81

(ix)                              if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and that the Change of Control Payment Date may, in the Company’s discretion, be delayed until such time as the Change of Control has occurred; and

(x)                                 the other instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this covenant and the definition of “Offer to Purchase”, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

(c)                                  [Reserved].

(d)                                 [Reserved].

(e)                                  [Reserved].

(f)                                   Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.9, the Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(g)                                  A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control.

(h)                                 If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of any series validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company pursuant to Section 3.9(f), purchases all of the Notes of such series validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, to redeem all Notes of such series that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the date of the redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record of such series on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling prior to or on the date of redemption).

(i)                                     The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 3.9.  To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 3.9, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 3.9 by virtue of such compliance.

82

(j)                                    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law,

(i)                                     accept for payment all Notes issued by the Company or portions thereof validly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

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

(iii)                               deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Company.

(k)                                 The provisions of this Indenture relating to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to purchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control, including the definition of “Change of Control,” may be waived or modified at any time (including after a Change of Control) with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

SECTION 3.10  Additional Note Guarantees.

(a)                                 After the Issue Date, the Company will cause each of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries that is a borrower under, or Guarantees any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries Incurred under, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Facility with any aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of $50.0 million, in each case within 25 Business Days of the date that such Indebtedness has been Incurred or has been guaranteed, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor under this Indenture governing the Notes providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary.  A form of a Guarantor Supplemental Indenture for such purposes is attached as Exhibit E hereto.

(b)                                 Each Note Guarantee will state that it will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be Guaranteed by that Restricted Subsidiary without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Restricted Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(c)                                  Each Guarantee will be released in accordance with Section 10.2.

SECTION 3.11  [Reserved].

SECTION 3.12  Compliance Certificate; Statement by Officers as to Default.  The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the Issue Date, an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that to the best knowledge of the signer thereof on behalf of the Company, the Company is or is not in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company (through its own action or omission or through the action or omission of any Guarantor as applicable) shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of

83

which such signer may have knowledge.  Following qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, (i) each Guarantor shall, to the extent required by the TIA, comply with TIA § 314(a)(4), and (ii) the individual signing any certificate given by any Person pursuant to this Section 3.12 shall be the principal executive, financial or accounting officer of such Person, in compliance with TIA § 314(a)(4).

So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 3.13  [Reserved].

SECTION 3.14  Limitation on Creation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

After the Issue Date, the Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Company to be an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” as provided below, in which event such Subsidiary and each other Person that is then or thereafter becomes a Subsidiary of such Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

The Company may designate any Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary or a Person becoming a Subsidiary through merger, amalgamation or consolidation or Investment therein) to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date only if:

(i)                                     neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries:

(A)                               provides credit support for, or Guarantee of, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness);

(B)                               is directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of such Subsidiary; or

(C)                               has any obligation to maintain or preserve such Subsidiary’s financial condition or to cause such Subsidiary to achieve any specified levels of operating results, including by way of subscription for additional Capital Interests of such Subsidiary; and such Subsidiary does not own any Capital Interests of, or own or hold any Lien on any property of, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and

(ii)                                  either:

(A)                               the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $1,000 or less; or

(B)                               the Company could make a Restricted Payment or Investment at the time of designation in an amount equal to the greater of the Fair Market Value or net book value of such Subsidiary pursuant to Section 3.4 (and, if

84

applicable, such amount is thereafter treated as a Restricted Payment for the purpose of calculating the amount available for Restricted Payments thereunder) or the definition of “Permitted Investments.”

An Unrestricted Subsidiary may be designated as a Restricted Subsidiary if (i) all the Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be Incurred under Section 3.3 and (ii) all the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could be Incurred pursuant to Section 3.5.

Nothing in this Indenture shall prevent the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary from pledging the Capital Interests of any Unrestricted Subsidiary so long as such transaction otherwise complies with the provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 3.15  Covenant Suspension.

(a)                                 During any period of time  (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the Guarantees will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged and the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10 and  4.1(iii) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”), and during a Suspension Period but prior to the repayment, repurchase, retirement or redemption of all of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture governing the Notes (collectively, the “Satisfaction of the Notes”), the Company may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries unless the Company could have designated such Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in compliance with this Indenture assuming the Suspended Covenants have not been suspended.

(b)                                 In the event that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to the Notes for any Suspension Period and subsequently the Company obtains actual knowledge that either one or both Rating Agencies withdraws its rating or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes below the required Investment Grade Rating, and such event occurs prior to the Satisfaction of the Notes (such date of withdrawal or downgrade, a “Reinstatement Date”), then the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will after the Reinstatement Date again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events for the benefit of the Notes (unless and until a Suspension Event again exists) until the Satisfaction of the Notes.

(c)                                  The period of time between the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event and the Reinstatement Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Cash Proceeds shall be reset at zero. With respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reinstatement Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though Section 3.4 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period. All Indebtedness Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred or issued pursuant to clause (4) of the definition of “Permitted Debt.” In addition, for purposes of Section 3.8, all agreements and

85

arrangements entered into by the Company and any Restricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate of the Company during the Suspension Period prior to such Reinstatement Date will be deemed to have been entered into on or prior to the Issue Date and for purposes of Section 3.6, all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reinstatement Date that contain any of the restrictions contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been existing on the Issue Date.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding that the Suspended Covenants may be reinstated, no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred as a result of any actions taken by the Company or any Subsidiary (including for the avoidance of doubt any failure to comply with the Suspended Covenants) or other events that occurred during any Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Suspension Period or after that time arising out of events that occurred or actions taken during the Suspension Period) and the Company and any Subsidiary will be permitted, without causing a Default or Event of Default or breach of any kind under this Indenture, to honor, comply with or otherwise perform any contractual commitments or obligations entered into during a Suspension Period following a Reinstatement Date and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

(e)                                  The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Company and its Subsidiaries’ future compliance with their covenants or (iii) notify the Holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reinstatement Date. The Company should give the Trustee written notice of any Covenant Suspension Event and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such Covenant Suspension Event has occurred, but failure to so notify the Trustee shall not invalidate any Covenant Suspension Event and shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default by the Company. In the absence of such notice, the Trustee may assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect. The Company should give the Trustee written notice of any occurrence of a Reinstatement Date not later than five (5) Business Days after such Reinstatement Date, but failure to so notify the Trustee shall not invalidate the occurrence of the Reinstatement Date and shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default by the Company. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reinstatement Date, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect.

(ii)                                  immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness Incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom;

(iii)                               immediately after giving effect to any such transaction or series of transactions on a Pro Forma Basis (including, without limitation, any Indebtedness Incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction or series of transactions and the use of proceeds thereof) as if such transaction or series of transactions had occurred on the first day of the determination period, the Company (or the Surviving Entity if the Company is not continuing) (a) could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under Section 3.3(a) or (b) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be equal to or greater than immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions; and

(iv)                              the Company delivers, or causes to be delivered, to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, assignment, transfer, lease or other disposition complies with the requirements of this Indenture; provided that (x) in giving such opinion such counsel may rely on an Officer’s Certificate as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) and as to matters of fact, and (y) no Opinion of Counsel will be required for a transaction described in clause (b) below.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to satisfy the requirements of the preceding clauses (ii) and (iii) will not prohibit:

(a)                                 a merger between the Company and a Restricted Subsidiary that is a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or a merger of any Restricted Subsidiary into the Company; or

(b)                                 a merger between the Company and an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of converting the Company into a Person organized under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision or state or territory thereof (other than its then

▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or political subdivision of organization) or for the purpose of changing its form of organization; so long as, in each case, the amount of Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby or the Company is otherwise in compliance with the conditions and covenants under this Indenture.

SECTION 4.2  Surviving Entity Substituted

Upon any transaction or series of transactions that are of the type described in, and are effected in accordance with, the conditions described in Section 4.1:

(a)                                 the Surviving Entity (if other than the Company) shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company, under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as the Company therein; provided that, in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all such obligations; and

(b)                                 Subsidiaries of any Surviving Entity will, upon such transaction or series of transactions, become Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries as provided pursuant to this Indenture and all Indebtedness, and all Liens on property or assets, of the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries deemed to be Restricted Subsidiaries that was not Indebtedness, or were not Liens on property or assets, of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions shall be deemed to have been Incurred upon such transaction or series of transactions.

ARTICLE V

SECTION 5.1  Applicability of Article.  Notes of or within any series that are redeemable in whole or in part before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 2.4) in accordance with this Article V.

SECTION 5.2  Right of Redemption.

(a)                                 Notes of any series may be redeemed, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, subject to the conditions and at the Redemption Prices set forth in Paragraph 6 of the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, which are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Indenture, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.

(b)                                 In connection with any tender for any series of the Notes, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Company, or any third party making such a tender offer in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Notes of such series validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company or such third party will have the right upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following

(c)                                  In connection with any redemption of Notes (including with the net cash proceeds of a Qualified Equity Offering), any such redemption or notice thereof may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Company in its sole discretion) of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, consummation of any related Qualified Equity Offering or Change of Control. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice may state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or, waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been (or, in the Company’s sole determination, may not be) satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

(j)                                    the Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes are to be redeemed.

SECTION 5.5  Deposit of Redemption Price.  Prior to 12:00 p.m. New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.18) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.

SECTION 5.6  Notes Payable on Redemption Date.  Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Notes so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified (together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date) such Notes shall cease to bear interest.  Upon surrender of any such Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date).

If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Notes.

If a Redemption Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no further interest shall be payable to Holders whose Notes shall be subject to redemption by the Company.

SECTION 5.7  Notes Redeemed in Part.  Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 2.8 (with, if the Company so requires

91

due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of an Authentication Order shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered; provided that each such new Note shall be in the Minimum Denomination and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 5.8  Offer to Repurchase.  In the event that, pursuant to Section 3.7, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase the Notes (an “Offer to Repurchase”), it shall follow the procedures specified below.

(a)                                 The Offer to Repurchase shall remain open for the period provided for in the definition of “Offer to Purchase” (the “Offer Period”).  No later than the Purchase Date, the Company shall apply all Excess Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds, as applicable (the “Offer Amount”), to the purchase of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any (in each instance, on a pro rata basis, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Offer to Repurchase.  Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made pursuant to Section 3.1.

(b)                                 If the Purchase Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase.

(c)                                  Upon the commencement of an Offer to Repurchase, the Company shall send a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders.  The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase.  The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Offer to Repurchase, shall state:

(i)                                     that the Offer to Repurchase is being made pursuant to this Section 5.8 and Section 3.7, and the length of time the Offer to Repurchase shall remain open;

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

(iii)                               that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest;

(iv)                              that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(v)                                 that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Offer to Repurchase may elect to have Notes purchased in the Minimum Denomination or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof only;

92

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

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

(viii)                        that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if applicable, Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any, surrendered by Holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes and, if applicable, the Company shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased or prepaid, on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness, if any, surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in the Minimum Denomination, or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, shall be purchased); and

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

(d)                                 On or before the Purchase Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.8.  The Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, shall authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered.  Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof.  The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Offer to Repurchase on the Purchase Date.

ARTICLE VI

Defaults and Remedies

SECTION 6.1  Events of Default.  Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1)                                 default in the payment in respect of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note when due and payable (whether at Stated Maturity or upon repurchase, acceleration, optional redemption or otherwise);

(2)                                 default in the payment of any interest upon any Note when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

(3)                                 except as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary required to be a Guarantor pursuant to this Indenture (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries required to be Guarantors pursuant to this Indenture that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), shall for any reason cease to be, or it shall be asserted by any such Guarantor or the Company not to be, in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms and such Default continues for 10 Business Days;

(4)                                 default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement (including the Company’s obligations described under Section 3.9) of the Company or any Guarantor in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement a default in whose performance or whose breach is specifically addressed in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 6.1), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which contain such Defaults);

(5)                                 a default or defaults under any bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of Indebtedness (other than the Notes) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary having, individually or in the aggregate, a principal or similar amount outstanding of at least $35.0 million, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default or defaults (A) shall have resulted in the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity or (B) shall constitute a failure to pay principal of at least $35.0 million on such Indebtedness when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto;

(6)                                 the entry against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary of a final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $35.0 million, by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction, which judgments remain undischarged, unwaived, unstayed, unbonded or unsatisfied for a period of 60 consecutive days;

94

(7)                                 the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(i)                                     commences a voluntary case;

(ii)                                  consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in any voluntary case;

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

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

or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency; or

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

(i)                                     is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

(ii)                                  appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property; or

(iii)                               orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary;

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

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

The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes unless a written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have been given to a Trust Officer of the Trustee by the Company or any Holder of Notes.

SECTION 6.2  Acceleration.  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.1 with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 2.4, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of outstanding Notes (which contain such defaults) by written notice to the Company (and the Trustee if given by the Holders) may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable.  Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately.  If an Event of Default arising from clause (7)

95

or (8) of Section 6.1, with respect to the Company, occurs and is continuing, unless otherwise specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, as contemplated by Section 2.4, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Notes (which contain such defaults) will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

SECTION 6.3  Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes (which contain such defaults) or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture (including sums owed to the Trustee and its agents and counsel) and the Guarantees.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes (which contain such defaults) or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy.  All available remedies are cumulative.

SECTION 6.4  Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (which contain such defaults) by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes (which contain such defaults), waive, rescind or cancel any declaration of an existing or past Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture if such waiver, rescission or cancellation would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of and interest on the applicable Notes (other than such nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due as a result of such acceleration).  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

In the event of any Event of Default arising from Section 6.1(5), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if prior to 20 days after such Event of Default arose, the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or Guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the requisite number of holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has otherwise been cured.

SECTION 6.5  Control by Majority.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (which contain such defaults) may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.  The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holders or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless such

96

Holders have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.  Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to security or indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

SECTION 6.6  Limitation on Suits.  In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have provided the Trustee with indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.  Except to institute suit for the enforcement of payment of principal and interest on any Note of such Holder or after the respective Stated Maturity for such principal or interest payment dates for such interest expressed in such Note, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(i)                                     such Holder (which holds Notes containing such default) has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(ii)                                  Holders of at least 25.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (which contain such defaults, or such other percentage of principal of outstanding Notes containing such default as specified for Notes of any series in the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture) have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii)                               such Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it in respect of any loss, liability or expense;

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

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

SECTION 6.7  [Reserved].

SECTION 6.8  Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.1 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.6.

SECTION 6.9  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective creditors or properties and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders

97

(pursuant to the written direction of Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes) in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10  Priorities.  The Trustee shall pay out any money or property received by it in the following order:

First:  to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.6;

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

Third:  to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee receives any amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.  At least 15 days before such record date, the Company (or the Trustee) shall send to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 6.11  Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

ARTICLE VII

Trustee

SECTION 7.1  Duties of Trustee.

(a)                                 If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its

98

exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered the Trustee indemnity, security or prefunding satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion against any loss, liability or expense it may incur.

(b)                                 Except during the continuance of an Event of Default of which a Trust Officer has actual knowledge, the Trustee:

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

(ii)                                  in the absence of gross negligence or bad faith on its part, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable.  However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees as the case may be (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

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

(i)                                     this Section 7.1(c) does not limit the effect of Section 7.1(b);

(ii)                                  the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer or Trust Officers unless it is proved in a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

99

(g)                                  Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1.

(h)                                 The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security, prefunding or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

SECTION 7.2  Rights of Trustee.

(a)                                 The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or any other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person or Persons.  The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in such document.

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

(d)                                 The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, provided that such conduct does not constitute willful misconduct or negligence as determined in a final non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

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

(f)                                   The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into any statement, warranty or representation, or the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond or other paper or document made or in connection with this Indenture; moreover, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into (i) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (ii) the occurrence of any default, or the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Indenture or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (iii) the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall

100

determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g)                                  [Reserved].

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

(i)                                     The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(k)                                 The Trustee shall not have any duty (i) to see to any recording, filing, or depositing of this Indenture or any agreement referred to herein, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any rerecording, re-filing or redepositing of any thereof or (ii) to see to any insurance.

(l)                                     The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty.

SECTION 7.3  Individual Rights of Trustee.

(a)                                 Subject to the TIA (if this Indenture is then qualified under the TIA) each of the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, the Guarantors or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  Any Paying Agent, Note Registrar, co-registrar or co-Paying Agent may do the same with like rights.  However, the Trustee must comply with Section 7.9.

(b)                                 In addition, the Trustee shall be permitted to engage in transactions with the Company; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest the Trustee must (i) eliminate such conflict within 90 days of acquiring such conflicting interest, (ii) apply to the SEC for permission to continue acting as Trustee or (iii) resign.

(c)                                  (i) Prior to the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, to the extent permitted by applicable law and (ii) following the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, to the extent permitted by the TIA, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Initial Notes and Additional Notes, or a trustee under any other indenture between the Company and the Trustee.

101

SECTION 7.4  Disclaimer.  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the Notes or the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication or for the use or application of any funds received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee.

SECTION 7.5  Notice of Defaults.  If a Default occurs and is continuing and a Trust Officer of the Trustee has received written notice thereof, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder notice of the Default within 90 days after it is known to the Trustee.  Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and to the extent a committee of its Authorized Officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

SECTION 7.6  Compensation and Indemnity.  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including, but not limited to, costs of collection, costs of preparing and reviewing reports, certificates and other documents, costs of preparation and mailing of notices to Holders and reasonable costs of counsel, in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts.  The Company shall indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including Paying Agent and Note Registrar), and each of their officers, directors, employees, counsel and agents, against any and all loss, liability or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the performance of their duties hereunder and under the Notes and the Guarantees, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture (including this Section 7.6), the Notes and the Guarantees and of defending itself against any claims (whether asserted by any Holder, the Company or otherwise).  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity, provided that failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder.  The Company shall defend such claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee as a result of its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.6, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes.  The right of the Trustee to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.6 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company.

The Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.6 and any lien arising hereunder shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the

102

Trustee.  When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in clause (7) or (8) of Section 6.1 with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Pursuant to Section 10.1, the obligations of the Company hereunder are jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantors.

SECTION 7.7  Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign at any time upon at least 30 days’ notice by so notifying the Company in writing.  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee.  The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(i)                                     the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9;

(ii)                                  the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

(iv)                              the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

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

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders.  The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.6.  All costs reasonably incurred in connection with any such resignation or removal hereunder shall be borne by the Company.

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

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.9, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.7, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.6 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

103

SECTION 7.8  Successor Trustee by Merger.  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

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

SECTION 7.9  Eligibility; Disqualification.  The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent filed annual report of condition.

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

SECTION 7.10  Limitation on Duty of Trustee.  The Trustee shall not have any duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees by the Company, the Guarantors or any other Person.

SECTION 7.11  Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company.  Following the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA, (i) the Trustee shall be subject to TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b), and (ii) a Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

SECTION 7.12  Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Notes.  Within 60 days after each November 1, beginning with November 1, 2016, the Trustee shall send to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).  The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b), and the Trustee shall transmit all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).

The Company should promptly notify the Trustee in writing when any Notes are listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof, but failure to so notify the Trustee shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default by the Company.

(a)                                 either (i) all the Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes which have been replaced or paid pursuant to Section 2.9 and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all of the Notes not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (a) have become due and payable, (b) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (c) have been called for redemption or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable), redemption or their Stated Maturity, as the case may be;

(b)                                 the Company and/or the Guarantors have paid all other sums payable under this Indenture; and

(c)                                  the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; provided that any such counsel may rely on any Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (a) and (b)).

The Notes of any applicable series will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes of such series, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) when:

(a)                                 either (i) all the Notes of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Notes pursuant to Section 2.9 which have been replaced or paid and Notes of such series for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all of the Notes of such series not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (a) have become due and payable, (b) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (c) have been called for redemption or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes of such series to the date of deposit (in the case of Notes that have become due and payable), redemption or their Stated Maturity, as the case may be; and

105

(b)                                 the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the applicable series of Notes have been complied with; provided that any such counsel may rely on any Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact (including as to compliance with the foregoing clause (a)).

Subject to Sections 8.1(c) and 8.2, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture and have each Guarantor’s obligation discharged with respect to its Guarantee and cure any then-existing Events of Default (“legal defeasance option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.14 and the operation of Section 4.1 (other than Sections 4.1(a)(i), (ii) and (vi)) and Sections 6.1(iii) (with respect to any Default under Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.14), 6.1(iv), 6.1(v) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.1(vi) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.1(vii) and 6.1(viii) (“covenant defeasance option”).  The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.  In the event that the Company terminates all of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (with respect to such Notes) by exercising its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of such Notes shall be terminated simultaneously with the termination of such obligations.

If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto.  If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes so defeased may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(4) (with respect to any Default by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with any of its obligations under Article III other than Section 3.1), 6.1(5), 6.1(7) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.1(8) (with respect to Significant Subsidiaries of the Company only), 6.1(6) or 6.1(3).

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

(c)                                  Notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.15, 2.16, 2.18, 2.19, 7.6, 7.7 and in this Article VIII shall survive until the Notes have been paid in full.  Thereafter, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.6, 8.5 and 8.6 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

SECTION 8.2  Conditions to Defeasance.

(a)                                 The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option only if:

(i)                                     the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations (sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized certified

106

public accounting firm) for the payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the applicable issue of Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be (provided that if such redemption is pursuant to Section 6(b) of the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture, (x) the amount of money or U.S. Government Obligations that the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited shall be determined using an assumed Applicable Premium for the applicable series of Notes calculated as of the date of such deposit, as calculated by the Company in good faith, and (y) the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited additional money in trust on the Redemption Date, as required by Section 5.5, as necessary to pay the Applicable Premium for the Notes as determined as of the date of the applicable redemption notice);

(ii)                                  the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment shall provide cash at such times and in such amounts as shall be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(iii)                               91 days pass after the deposit is made and during the 91-day period no Default specified in Section 6.1(7) or (8) with respect to the Company occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;

(iv)                              the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement binding on the Company;

(v)                                 the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment advisor under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(vi)                              in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred;

(vii)                           in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and

107

(viii)                        the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article VIII have been complied with.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by Sections 8.2(a)(vi) and (vii) need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable, (y) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within the same calendar year or (z) have been called for redemption within the same calendar year.

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

SECTION 8.3  Application of Trust Money.  The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII.  It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes.

SECTION 8.4  Repayment to the Company.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Order any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in this Article VIII which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable; provided that the Trustee shall not be required to liquidate any U.S. Government Obligations in order to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.4.

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

SECTION 8.5  Indemnity for U.S. Government Obligations.  The Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against deposited U.S. Government Obligations or the principal and interest received on such U.S. Government Obligations.

SECTION 8.6  Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company and each Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however, that, if any of the Company or the Guarantors has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the

108

reinstatement of its obligations, the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

Amendments

SECTION 9.1  Without Consent of Holders.  Notwithstanding Section 9.2 hereof, this Indenture, the Notes and Guarantees may be amended or supplemented by the Company, any Guarantor (with respect to its Guarantee of the Notes) and the Trustee without notice to or consent of any Holder:

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

(2)                                 with respect to any Additional Notes and any supplemental indenture or other instrument pursuant to which such Additional Notes are issued, to the “Description of Notes” relating to the issuance of such Additional Notes solely to the extent that such “Description of Notes” provides for terms of such Additional Notes that differ from the terms of the Initial Notes, in accordance with Section 2.4;

(3)                                 to comply with Section 4.1;

(4)                                 to provide for the assumption by a successor Person of the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under this Indenture and the Notes or Note Guarantee, as the case may be;

(14)                          to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee; provided that the successor Trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of this Indenture; or

(15)                          to provide for or confirm the issuance of Initial Notes, Additional Notes or Exchange Notes.

SECTION 9.2  With Consent of Holders.

(a)                                 Subject to certain exceptions identified in this Indenture, this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees may be amended or supplemented by the Company, any Guarantor (with respect to its Guarantee of the Notes) and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and any existing or past Default or compliance with any provisions of such documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, in each case, other than Notes beneficially owned by the Company or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes); provided that (x) if any such amendment or waiver will only affect one series of Notes (or less than all series of Notes) then outstanding under this Indenture, then only the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) shall be required, and (y) if any such amendment or waiver by its terms will affect a series of Notes in a manner different and materially adverse relative to the manner such amendment or waiver affects other series of Notes, then the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) shall be required.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 9.2(a), without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Notes held by Affiliates), no amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Indenture may:

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

(2)                                 reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(3)                                 reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any Note;

110

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

(5)                                 reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed as described in Section 6 of the applicable Notes Supplemental Indenture;

(6)                                 make any Note payable in money other than that stated in such Note;

(7)                                 modify the legal right of any Holder of any Note to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the respective Stated Maturity for such principal or interest payment dates for such interest expressed in such Note, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective Stated Maturity or interest payment dates; or

(8)                                 make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions of this Indenture that require each Holder’s consent, as described in clauses (1) through (7) of this sentence.

(c)                                  (c)                                  It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof

SECTION 9.3  Effect of Consents and Waivers.  A consent to an amendment or a waiver by a Holder of a Note shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of the Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent or waiver is not made on the Note.  After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change described in clauses (1) through (8) of Section 9.2(b), in which case the amendment or waiver or other action shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Notes.  An amendment or waiver made pursuant to Section 9.2 shall become effective upon receipt by the Trustee of the requisite number of written consents.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to give their consent or take any other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to this Indenture.  If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to take any such action, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.

SECTION 9.4  Notation on or Exchange of Notes.  If an amendment changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee at the direction of the Company may require the Holder of such Note to deliver it to the Trustee.  The Trustee at the direction of the Company may place an appropriate notation on the Note regarding the changed terms and return it to the Holder.  Alternatively, if the

111

Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.  Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Note shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

SECTION 9.5  Trustee to Sign Amendments.  The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not, in the sole determination of the Trustee, adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.  If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it.  In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article IX, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by or complies with this Indenture, that all conditions precedent to such amendment required by this Indenture have been complied with and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Opinion of Counsel will be required for the Trustee to execute any amendment or supplement adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel shall be required for the execution of any Notes Supplemental Indenture pursuant to this Section 9.5 on the Issue Date, supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 4.1(b) or Guarantor Supplemental Indenture.

ARTICLE X

Guarantees

SECTION 10.1  Guarantees.

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions of this Article X, each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, irrevocably, fully and unconditionally Guarantees, as guarantor and not as a surety, with each other Guarantor, to each Holder of the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the Trustee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other Obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to the Company, or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding and the obligations under Section 7.6) (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guarantor Obligations”).  Each Guarantor agrees (to the extent lawful) that the Guarantor Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Article X, notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guarantor Obligation.

(b)                                 Each Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guarantor Obligations and also waives (to the extent lawful) notice of protest for nonpayment.  Each Guarantor waives (to the extent lawful) notice of any default under the Notes or the Guarantor Obligations.

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

(d)                                 Except as set forth in Section 10.2 and Article VIII, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not (to the extent lawful) be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guarantor Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor herein shall not (to the extent lawful) be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any Holder for the Guarantor Obligations or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor; (f) any change in the ownership of the Company; (g) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guarantor Obligations; or (h) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(e)                                  Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guarantor Obligations or such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee in compliance with Section 4.1, Section 10.2 and Article VIII, as applicable.  Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(f)                                   In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guarantor Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Company or any Guarantor whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding).

(g)                                  Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed

113

hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for the purposes of its Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

(h)                                 Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.1.

(i)                                     Neither the Company nor the Guarantors shall be required to make a notation on the Notes to reflect any Guarantee or any release, termination or discharge thereof and any such notation shall not be a condition to the validity of any Guarantee.

SECTION 10.2  Limitation on Liability; Termination, Release and Discharge.

(a)                                 Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law and not otherwise being void or voidable under any similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(b)                                 A Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and each Guarantor and its obligations under the Guarantee and this Indenture shall be released and discharged upon:

(1)                                 the sale, exchange or other transfer or disposition (including by way of merger, consolidation, arrangement or amalgamation) of Capital Interests in any Guarantor to any Person in compliance with the terms of this Indenture or the occurrence of any other transaction permissible under this Indenture, in each case, pursuant to which such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary;

(2)                                 the sale or other transfer of all or substantially all the assets of a Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation, arrangement or amalgamation) to a Person that is not a Subsidiary in compliance with the terms of this Indenture;

(3)                                 the designation of a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, the merger, consolidation or amalgamation of any Guarantor with and into the Company, another Guarantor or a Person that will become a Guarantor substantially upon the consummation of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation;

114

(4)                                 the release of a Guarantor of all of its Guarantee obligations in respect of the Credit Facilities (or, if such release occurs substantially concurrently with the release of the Guarantee of such Guarantor or will occur as a result of the Guarantee of such Guarantor); or

(5)                                 the election of the Company to have its obligations satisfied and discharged with respect to any outstanding Notes in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, or exercise of the legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option by the Company, or the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event.

(c)                                  The Company will have the right, upon 10 days’ written notice to the Trustee (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Trustee), to cause any Guarantor that has not guaranteed any Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or any Certain Capital Markets Debt to be unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under its Guarantee, and such Guarantee shall thereupon automatically and unconditionally terminate and be discharged and of no further force or effect.

(d)                                 If any Guarantor is released from its Guarantee, any of its Subsidiaries that are Guarantors shall be released from their Guarantees, if any.

(e)                                  If the Company requests, at its option, confirmation from the Trustee of a release pursuant to Section 10.2(b), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.

SECTION 10.3  Right of Contribution.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that any such Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made on the obligations under its Guarantee, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against the Company or any other Guarantor who has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.  The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to the Trustee and the Holders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 10.4  No Subrogation.  Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by each Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Trustee or any Holder against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or Guarantee or right of offset held by the Trustee or any Holder for the payment of the Guarantor Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Trustee and the Holders by the Company on account of the Guarantor Obligations are paid in full.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form

115

received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Guarantor Obligations.
