The Trustee shall authenticate (i) Initial Notes for original issue on the Issue Date in aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200,000,000 and (ii) Unrestricted Notes from time to time for issue only in exchange for a like principal amount of Initial Notes, in each case upon written orders of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. In each case, the Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated, the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding on the date of authentication and whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes or Unrestricted Notes and shall further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as a Global Note or Physical Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed $200,000,000, except as provided in Section 2.10.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Notes issued under this Indenture shall vote and consent together on all matters (as to which any of such Notes may vote or consent) as one class and no series of Notes will have the right to vote or consent as a separate class on any matter.

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent (the “AUTHENTICATING Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. Unless otherwise provided in the appointment, an Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes

27

authentication by such Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company, the Guarantors or with any of their respective Affiliates.

The Notes shall be issuable in fully registered form only, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency (which shall be located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York) (i) where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (subject to Sections 2.06, 2.08 and 2.09) (the “REGISTRAR”), (ii) where Notes may be presented for payment (the “PAYING AGENT”) and (iii) where notices to or upon the Company and the Guarantors in respect of the Notes or this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company may change the Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar with prior written notice to the Trustee. The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall notify the Holders of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture, and such agreement shall incorporate the provisions of the TIA and implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent.

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes. The Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar; provided, however, that neither the Company, any Guarantor nor any of their respective Affiliates may act as Paying Agent after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain a Registrar and/or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such, and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation in accordance with Section 7.07.

SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. By at least 12:00 noon (Eastern Standard Time) on the date on which any principal of or interest on any Note is due and payable, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal or interest when due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the Holders’ benefit or the Trustee all money the Paying Agent holds for the redemption or purchase of the Notes or for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in providing the Paying Agent with sufficient funds to redeem or purchase Notes or make any payment on the Notes as and to the extent required to be redeemed, purchased or paid under the terms of this Indenture. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require the Paying Agent to pay all money it holds to the

28

Trustee and account for any funds disbursed. The Company at any time may require the Paying Agent to pay all money it holds to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) shall have no further liability for the money it delivered to the Trustee. If the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the Holders’ benefit all money it holds as Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the TIA. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, at least seven (7) Business Days before each Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require that sets forth the names and addresses of, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by, each Holder, and the Company shall otherwise comply with Section 312(a) of the TIA.

SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Company appoints the Trustee as transfer and exchange agent for the purpose of any transfer or exchange of the Notes.

(b) Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption and ending on the date of such mailing or (iii) to register the transfer or exchange of a Note between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

(c) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Registrar may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.13, 3.06, 3.08 or 9.05, which the Company shall pay).

(d) Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Note to the Trustee, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on such Note made by anyone other than the Company, the Registrar, or any co-registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Note and for all other purposes, and notice to the contrary shall not affect the Trustee, any Agent or the Company.

29

(e) A Holder may transfer a Note only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and registration of the transfer by the Registrar. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein, the Company, the Trustee, and any Agent shall treat the person in whose name the Note is registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the Note shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any such Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. When Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations (including an exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes), the Registrar or co-registrar, as relevant, shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements for such transactions set forth herein are met; provided that no exchanges of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes shall occur until a Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission and provided further that any Initial Notes that are exchanged for Exchange Notes shall be canceled by the Trustee. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request.

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange of Notes shall be 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.

SECTION 2.07. Restrictive Legends. (a) Each Global Note and Physical Note that constitutes a Restricted Security or is sold in compliance with Regulation S shall bear the following legend (the “PRIVATE PLACEMENT LEGEND”) on the face thereof until after the second anniversary of the later of the Issue Date and the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Note (or any predecessor security) (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) (or such longer period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws in the opinion of counsel for the Company, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof):

THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE WILL NOT APPLY SUBSEQUENT TO THE RESALE RESTRICTION TERMINATION DATE.

31

(b) Each Global Note shall also bear the following legend on the face thereof:

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS IN WHOLE, BUT NOT IN PART, TO NOMINEES OF CEDE & CO. OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 2.06, 2.08 AND 2.09 OF THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE.

SECTION 2.08. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Notes. (a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of such Depository (the “GLOBAL NOTE HOLDER”), (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.07.

Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“AGENT MEMBERS”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Notes, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any Agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Notes for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

32

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

(b) Transfers of the Global Notes shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or, subject to Section 2.01, exchanged for Physical Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.09. In addition, Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Notes if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default of which the Trustee has actual notice has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a written request from the Depository to issue Physical Notes.

(d) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Note to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), such 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 Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Note, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes of authorized denominations.

(e) Any Physical Note constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b), (c) or (d) shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraphs (a)(i)(x) and (d) of Section 2.09, bear the Private Placement Legend.

(c) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note constituting a Restricted Security to a QIB (excluding transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):

(d) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the 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 Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) the circumstance contemplated by paragraph (a)(i)(x) of this Section 2.09 exist, (ii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee 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 or (iii) such Note has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

(e) 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 Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture. The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.08 or this Section 2.09. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies at its own expense of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to the compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depository participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence or to perform such other acts and make such determinations and inquiries as are required by, and to do so if and when required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine compliance as to form with the requirements hereof.

SECTION 2.10. Replacement Notes. Holders shall surrender mutilated Notes to the Trustee. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or if the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, a replacement Note if the

37

Trustee’s requirements are met, and each such replacement Note shall be an additional obligation of the Company. If the Trustee or the Company requires, the Holder must supply an indemnity bond that is sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee and the Company, to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent or any Authenticating Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge for its reasonable expenses in replacing a Note.

SECTION 2.11. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes the Trustee has authenticated except for those it has canceled, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.11 as not outstanding. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.10, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that a bona fide purchaser holds the replaced Note. If the entire principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue. Subject to Section 2.12, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates holds such Note.

SECTION 2.12. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates shall be considered as though they are not outstanding; provided, however, that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes for which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Company shall notify the Trustee, in writing in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, when it, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates repurchases or otherwise acquires Notes and of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes so repurchased or otherwise acquired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that the Company or any Affiliate of the Company offers to purchase or acquires pursuant to an exchange offer, tender offer or otherwise shall not be deemed to be owned by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company until legal title to such Notes passes to the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.13. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee on its behalf shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee on its behalf, upon receipt of a written order of the Company pursuant to Section 2.02, shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Notes.

38

SECTION 2.14. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, any co-registrar, the Paying Agent, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, replacement, payment (including all Notes called for redemption and all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to an Offer) or cancellation, and the Trustee shall cancel all such Notes and shall return all canceled Notes to the Company. Subject to Section 2.10, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace any Notes that have been canceled by the Trustee or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company acquires any Notes (other than by redemption pursuant to Section 3.07 or an Offer pursuant to Section 4.15 or 4.16), such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until such Notes are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.15. Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and Section 4.01. The Company shall, with the Trustee’s consent, fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, at the request of the Company, the Trustee in the name of, and at the expense of, the Company) shall mail a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.16. Record Date. The record date for purposes of determining the identity of holders of Notes entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted under this Indenture shall be determined as provided for in Section 316(c) of the TIA.

SECTION 2.17. CUSIP and CINS Numbers. A “CUSIP” or “CINS” number will be printed on the Notes and the Trustee shall use CUSIP or CINS numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption, purchase 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 and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or CINS number, as the case may be.

39

ARTICLE 3

Redemptions and Offers to Purchase

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 15 but not more than 30 days before notice of any redemption is to be mailed to Holders (or such shorter time as may be satisfactory to the Trustee), (x) an Officers’ Certificate stating (i) that the Company has elected to redeem Notes pursuant to Section 3.07(a) or (b), as the case may be, (ii) the date notice of redemption is to be mailed to Holders, (iii) the redemption date, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, (v) the redemption price for such Notes and (vi) the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Notes as of the redemption date and (y) an Opinion of Counsel that the Company is entitled to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 3.07. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall, concurrently with delivery of its notice to the Trustee of a redemption, cause the Registrar to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (upon which the Trustee may rely) setting forth the name of, and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by, each Holder.

If the Company is required to offer to purchase Notes pursuant to Section 4.15 or 4.16, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least two Business Days before notice of the Offer is to be mailed to Holders, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth (i) that the Offer is being made pursuant to Section 4.15 or 4.16, as the case may be, (ii) the Purchase Date, (iii) the maximum principal amount of Notes the Company is offering to purchase pursuant to the Offer, (iv) the purchase price for such Notes and (v) the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Notes as of the Purchase Date.

The Company will also provide the Trustee with any additional information that the Trustee reasonably requests in connection with any redemption or Offer.

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased. If less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed or if less than all Notes tendered pursuant to an Offer are to be accepted for payment, the Trustee shall select the outstanding Notes to be redeemed or accepted for payment on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. If the Company elects to mail notice of a redemption to Holders, the Trustee shall (i) select the Notes to be redeemed from Notes outstanding not previously called for redemption in the manner specified by the Trustee and (ii) notify the Company of the names of each Holder of Notes selected for redemption, the principal amount of Notes held by each such Holder and the principal amount of such Holder’s Notes that are to be redeemed. If less than all Notes tendered pursuant to an Offer are to be accepted for payment, the Trustee shall select on or prior to the Purchase Date for such Offer the Notes to be accepted for payment. The Trustee shall select for redemption or purchase Notes or portions of Notes in principal amounts at maturity of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; except that if

40

all of the Notes of a Holder are selected for redemption or purchase, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder, even if not an integral multiple of $1,000, may be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or tendered pursuant to an Offer also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or tendered pursuant to an Offer. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption or selected for purchase.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. (a) With respect to any redemption of Notes, a notice of redemption shall identify the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed, including CUSIP or CINS numbers, and shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the redemption price for the Notes and the amount, if any, of unpaid and accrued interest on such Notes as of the date of redemption and the premium, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes as of the date of redemption; (3) the section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed; (4) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be issued; (5) the name and address of the Paying Agent; (6) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price for, and any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Notes as of the date of redemption; (7) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date; and (8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or CINS number (as applicable) listed in such notice and printed on the Notes.

(b) The Trustee shall (at the Company’s expense and in the Company’s name) give the notice of any redemption setting forth the information required by paragraph (a) to Holders at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the date of redemption and at least 15 days prior to the date that notice of the redemption is to be mailed to Holders, an Officers’ Certificate that (i) requests the Trustee to give notice of the redemption to Holders, (ii) sets forth the information to be provided to Holders in the notice of redemption, as set forth in the preceding paragraph, and (iii) sets forth the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and the amount, if any, of accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) thereon as of the date of redemption. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall, concurrently with any such request, cause the Registrar to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (upon which the Trustee may rely) setting forth the name of, the address of, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by, each Holder; provided further that any such Officers’ Certificate may be delivered to the Trustee on a date later than permitted under this Section 3.03(b) if such later date is acceptable to the Trustee.

41

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the price set forth in the Note.

SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. (a) Prior to 12:00 noon (Eastern Standard Time) on any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. Legal Tender sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and the amount, if any, of accrued interest and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on all Notes to be redeemed in immediately available funds as of the date of redemption. After any redemption date, the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money that the Company deposited with the Paying Agent in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and any accrued interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on all Notes to be redeemed.

(b) If the Company complies with the preceding paragraph, interest on the Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Notes on the applicable redemption date, whether or not such Notes are presented for payment. If a Note is redeemed on an Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on the related Record Date, and in all other circumstances, such interest shall be paid to the Holder of such Note. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest will be paid on the unpaid principal, premium, if any, and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) which has accrued to the redemption date and from the redemption date until such amounts are paid, at the rate of interest provided in the Notes and Section 4.01.

SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the Company’s expense a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

SECTION 3.07. Redemption Provisions. (a) The Notes will not be redeemed prior to November 1, 2003, but will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at time on or after November 1, 2003, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount), together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning November 1:

42

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to November 1, 2001, the Company may redeem at its option up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 111.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date; provided that (a) at least $130.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of any such redemption and (b) such redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of the closing of any such Equity Offering.

SECTION 3.08. Mandatory Offers. (a) If required by Section 4.15 or 4.16, the Company will mail to the Trustee (who shall mail to each Holder at the Company’s expense) a notice stating: (1) that an Offer is being made pursuant to Section 4.15 or 4.16, as the case may be, and describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control or Asset Sale, as the case may be, and the length of time the Offer shall remain open and the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes that the Company is offering to purchase pursuant to such Offer; (2) the purchase price for the Notes (as set forth in Section 4.15 or 4.16, as the case may be), the amount of accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on such Notes as of the Purchase Date, and the Purchase Date; (3) that any Note not accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer will cease to accrue interest after the relevant Purchase Date; (5) that Holders may tender all or any portion of the Notes registered in the name of such Holder and that any portion of a Note tendered must be tendered in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; (6) that Holders electing to tender any Note or portion thereof will be required to surrender their Note, with the form therein entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depository, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days prior to the Purchase Date; (7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election to tender Notes if the Company, the Depository or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the close of business on the last day of the relevant Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes delivered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased; and (8) that Holders

43

whose Notes are accepted for payment in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of Notes surrendered, provided that only Notes in a principal amount of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof will be accepted for payment in part.

(b) On the Purchase Date for any Offer, the Company will (i) to the extent lawful, (x) in the case of an Offer resulting from a Change of Control, accept for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to such Offer and (y) in the case of an Offer resulting from one or more Asset Sales, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Payment Amount of Notes or portions thereof pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, or if less than the Payment Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of Sections 3.08 and 4.16, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent by 12:00 noon (Eastern Standard Time) on the Purchase Date U.S. Legal Tender in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the aggregate purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment and any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on such Notes as of the Purchase Date, and (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee all Notes or portions thereof so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the name of each Holder that tendered Notes and the principal amount of the Notes, as the case may be, or portions thereof tendered by each such Holder.

(d) Promptly after consummation of an Offer, (i) the Paying Agent shall mail to each Holder of Notes or portions thereof accepted for payment an amount equal to the Change of Control Purchase Price or Offered Price, as the case may be, (ii) with respect to any tendered Note not accepted for payment in whole or in part, the Trustee shall return such Note to the Holder thereof, and (iii) with respect to any Note accepted for payment in part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail to each such Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the tendered Note.

(e) The Company will (i) publicly announce the results of the Offer to Holders on or as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, and (ii) comply with the applicable

44

tender offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to any Offer.

The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose within the City and State of New York or, at the option of the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds or, in the case of Physical Notes only, by mailing a check to the registered address of the Holder.

So long as the Global Note Holder is the registered owner of any Notes, the Global Note Holder will be considered the sole holder of outstanding Notes represented by such Global Notes under this Indenture. Payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest), if any, on any Notes registered in the name of the Global Note Holder on the applicable Record Date will be payable by the Trustee to or at the direction of such Global Note Holder in its capacity as the registered holder under this Indenture.

paid within the meaning of this Section 4.01 if U.S. Legal Tender intended to pay such principal, premium or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) is held by the Paying Agent for the benefit of holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Article 10. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company, no later than five days following the date of payment, any money that exceeds the amount then due and payable on the Notes.

SECTION 4.02. Reports. Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “COMMISSION”), so long as any Notes are outstanding, each of the Company and Pro-Fac will file with the Commission, to the extent such filings are accepted by the Commission, and will furnish (within 15 days after such filing) to the Trustee and the Holders of Notes all quarterly and annual reports and other information, documents and reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act if the Company or Pro-Fac, as the case may be, were required to file under such section. In addition, each of the Company and Pro-Fac will make such information available to prospective purchasers of the Notes, securities analysts and broker-dealers who request it in writing. Each of the Company and Pro-Fac has agreed that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, it will furnish to the Holders and beneficial holders of Notes and to prospective purchasers of Notes designated by the holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and to broker dealers, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. On and after consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger, only Pro-Fac, as successor corporation to the Company, shall be required to comply with this Section 4.02.

SECTION 4.03. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’ Certificate stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year without regard to any grace period has been made to determine whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled all of its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes, (ii) such review was supervised by the Officers of the Company signing such certificate, and (iii) that to the best knowledge of each Officer signing such certificate, (a) the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which each such Officer may have knowledge and what action the Company has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto), and (b) no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes are prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

So long as not contrary to the then current recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the annual financial statements delivered pursuant to

46

Section 4.02 shall be accompanied by a written statement of the Company’s independent public accountants (which shall be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Company has violated any provisions of Sections 4.01, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18 or Article 5 or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

The Company will, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, promptly after any Officer of the Company becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 4.04. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. Each of the Company and the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that might affect the covenants or the performance of their obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and Note Guarantees; and each of the Company and the Guarantors (to the extent they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

SECTION 4.05. Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any Restricted Payment (except as permitted below) if at the time of such Restricted Payment:

(i)   a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof;

(ii)  the Company would be unable to meet the Coverage Ratio Incurrence Condition; or

(iii) the amount of such Restricted Payment, when added to the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments (except as expressly provided in the second following paragraph) made on or after the first day of the last completed fiscal quarter of the Company ending immediately prior to the Issue Date, exceeds the sum of (A) 50% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Income (taken as one accounting period) from the first day of the last completed fiscal quarter of the Company ending immediately prior to the Issue Date to the end of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal

47

quarter for which financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such aggregate Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such aggregate deficit) plus (B) the net cash proceeds from the issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company or Pro-Fac) after the Issue Date of (1) the Company’s Capital Stock that is not Disqualified Capital Stock (excluding amounts contributed to the Company pursuant to clause (E) of this paragraph and excluding Capital Stock purchased with the proceeds of loans from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or (2) debt securities of the Company that have been converted into the Company’s Capital Stock that is not Disqualified Capital Stock and that is not held by a Subsidiary of the Company, plus (C) to the extent that any Restricted Investment that was made after the Issue Date is sold for cash or otherwise liquidated or repaid for cash, the lesser of (x) the cash return of capital with respect to such Restricted Investment (less the cost of disposition, if any) and (y) the initial amount of such Restricted Investment plus (D) the amount of Restricted Investment outstanding in an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company in accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” plus (E) 40% of the aggregate contributions by Pro-Fac to the Company pursuant to Section 4.18(a) subsequent to the Issue Date but prior to the consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger, plus (F) $7.5 million.

The foregoing provisions of clauses (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph will not prohibit (1) the payment of any dividend by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at said date of declaration such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Indenture; (2) the redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of any Capital Stock of the Company in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company or Pro-Fac) of other Capital Stock of the Company (other than any Disqualified Capital Stock); (3) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the substantially concurrent issue and sale of Capital Stock of the Company (other than (x) Disqualified Capital Stock, (y) Capital Stock sold to a Subsidiary of the Company or Pro-Fac and (z) Capital Stock purchased with the proceeds of loans from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); (4) the payment of amounts prior to consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger required to fund Pro-Fac’s reasonable operating expenses, not in excess of $250,000, as adjusted to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index between the Issue Date and the date of any such payment, in any fiscal year; (5) (x) the payments of dividends or distributions to Pro-Fac solely in amounts and at the times necessary to permit Pro-Fac, or (y) any payments to members of Pro-Fac or and after the consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger solely in amounts and at the times necessary, in each case to purchase, redeem, acquire, cancel or otherwise retire for value Capital Stock of Pro-Fac (i) held by officers, directors or employees or former officers, directors or employees (or their transferees, estates or beneficiaries under their estates), or a trust established for the benefit of

48

any of the foregoing, of Pro-Fac, the Company or its Subsidiaries, upon death, disability, retirement, severance or termination of employment or service or pursuant to any agreement under which such Capital Stock or related rights were issued or (ii) held by members or former members of Pro-Fac, upon the departure of such Persons as members of Pro-Fac or upon the discontinuance by any such Person of one or more crops; provided that the amount of such payments under this clause (5) does not exceed in the aggregate $2.0 million in any fiscal year; or (6) Restricted Investments the amount of which, together with the amount of all other Restricted Investments made pursuant to this clause (6) after the Issue Date, does not exceed $15.0 million.

Each Restricted Payment permitted pursuant to the preceding paragraph (other than the Restricted Payments referred to in clauses (2) and (3) thereof, and, to the extent deducted in determining Consolidated Net Income in any period, the Restricted Payments referred to in clause (5) thereof) shall be included once in calculating whether the conditions of clause (iii) of the second preceding paragraph have been met with respect to any subsequent Restricted Payments. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, in the event that a transaction meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Restricted Payments described in the clauses of the immediately preceding paragraph or of the exceptions in of the definition of “Restricted Payment,” the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such transaction and only be required to include the amount and type of such transaction in one of such clauses. If an issuance of Capital Stock of the Company is applied to make a Restricted Payment pursuant to clause (2) or (3) above, then, in calculating whether the conditions of clause (iii) of the second preceding paragraph have been met with respect to any subsequent Restricted Payments, the proceeds of any such issuance shall be included under such clause (iii) only to the extent such proceeds are not applied as so described in this sentence.

Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the calculations required by this Section 4.05 were computed, which calculations shall be based upon the Company’s latest available financial statements.

Subject to Section 4.16 and Article 5, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the respective organizational documents of each of its Subsidiaries and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any Subsidiary, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries

49

taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

SECTION 4.07. Limitations on Additional Indebtedness. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including without limitation Acquired Indebtedness); provided that (i) the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Permitted Indebtedness and (ii) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or as a consequence of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the Company may incur additional Indebtedness if, after giving effect thereto, the Company’s Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio on the date thereof would be at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis as if the incurrence of such additional Indebtedness, and the application of the net proceeds therefrom, had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter period used to calculate the Company’s Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio.

(b) The Company may make demand loans to Pro-Fac for working capital purposes in amounts not exceeding $40.0 million at any time outstanding, each such loan to bear interest at a rate equal to the rate in effect on the date of such loan under the Revolving Loan Facility. The loan balance must be reduced to zero for a period of not less than 15 consecutive days in each fiscal year. Except for the foregoing provision and except for (x) Pro-Fac’s Note Guarantee and (y) Pro-Fac’s Guarantee of the Obligations under the New Credit Facility, as long as Pro-Fac has the right to borrow under the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement Pro-Fac shall not incur any other Indebtedness. This paragraph (b) shall not apply on and after the consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger.

SECTION 4.08. Limitation on the Issuance of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to issue or sell any shares of its Capital Stock (including options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of such Capital Stock) except (i) to the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance or sale, such Restricted Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary or (iii) to the extent such shares represent directors’ qualifying shares or shares required by applicable law to be held by a Person other than the Company or a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary. The proceeds of any sale of Capital Stock permitted hereunder and referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above will be treated as Net Available Proceeds and must be applied in a manner consistent with Section 4.16.

SECTION 4.09. Limitations on Layering Debt. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor will incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness by its terms is pari passu with, or subordinated to, the Notes or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be.

SECTION 4.10. Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing, an “AFFILIATE TRANSACTION”), unless (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person and (ii) the Company delivers to the Trustee (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction (or series of related transactions) involving Pro-Fac (including, without limitation, any amendment to or waiver under the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement and any agreement for the purchase of crops entered into pursuant to the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement) prior to consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger or involving aggregate payments in excess of $1.0 million, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above and which sets forth and authenticates a resolution that has been adopted by a vote of a majority of the Disinterested Directors approving such Affiliate Transaction and (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction (or series of related transactions) involving aggregate payments in excess of $5.0 million (other than any Affiliate Transaction (for series of related transactions) occurring prior to consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger and relating to the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement or any agreement for the purchase of crops entered into pursuant to the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement), the Officers’ Certificate described in the preceding clause (a) and an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or such Subsidiary from a financial point of view of such Affiliate Transaction (or series of related transactions) issued by an Independent Financial Advisor; provided, however, that the following shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions: (i) transactions exclusively between or among (1) the Company and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (2) Restricted Subsidiaries, provided, in each case, that no Affiliate of the Company (other than another Restricted Subsidiary) owns Capital Stock of any such Restricted Subsidiary; (ii) transactions between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any qualified employee stock ownership plan established for the benefit of the Company’s employees, or the establishment or maintenance of any such plan; (iii) reasonable director, officer and employee compensation and other benefit and indemnification arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice; (iv) transactions permitted by Section 4.05 or excluded from the definition of “Restricted Payments;” (v) the pledge of Capital Stock of Unrestricted Subsidiaries to support the Indebtedness thereof; (vi) transactions between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that is a joint venture, provided that no direct or indirect holder of an equity interest in such joint venture (other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) is an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; and (vii) except as set forth in clause (a) above, the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement and any transaction effected pursuant thereto.

51

SECTION 4.11. Limitations on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur or permit to exist any Lien of any nature whatsoever on any property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), or any proceeds, income or profit therefrom, whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, which secures Indebtedness that is not Senior Indebtedness unless contemporaneously therewith effective provision is made to secure the Notes equally and ratably with (or if such Lien secures Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Notes, prior to) such Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness is secured by a Lien.

The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (i) Liens existing on the Issue Date securing Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date; (ii) Liens in favor of the Company; (iii) Liens to secure Non-Recourse Purchase Money Indebtedness; (iv) Liens securing Acquired Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this Indenture, provided that the Liens do not extend to property or assets not subject to such Lien at the time of acquisition (other than improvements thereon); (v) Liens on property of a Person existing at the time such Person is acquired or merged with or into or consolidated with the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary (and not created in anticipation or contemplation thereof); or (vi) Liens to secure Refinancing Indebtedness of Indebtedness secured by Liens referred to in the foregoing clauses (iv) and (v), provided that in each case such Liens do not extend to any additional property or assets (other than improvements thereon).

SECTION 4.12. Taxes. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all taxes, assessments and governmental levies the failure of which to pay could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for those taxes contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings properly initiated and diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves, to the extent required under GAAP, have been taken.

SECTION 4.13. Limitations on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Payment Restriction with respect to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except for (a) any such Payment Restriction in effect on the Issue Date under the New Credit Facility or any similar Payment Restriction under any similar credit facility, or any amendment, restatement, renewal, replacement or refinancing of any of the foregoing, provided that such similar Payment Restrictions are not, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive than the Payment Restrictions in effect on the Issue Date under the New Credit Facility; (b) any such Payment Restriction under any agreement evidencing any Acquired Indebtedness that was permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Indenture in effect at the time of such incurrence and not created in contemplation of such event, provided that such Payment Restriction is not extended to apply to any

52

of the assets of the entities not previously subject thereto; (c) any such Payment Restriction arising in connection with Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that any such Payment Restrictions that arise under such Refinancing Indebtedness are not, taken as a whole, materially more restrictive than those under the agreement creating or evidencing the Indebtedness being refunded or refinanced; (d) any such restriction by reason of customary provisions restricting assignments, subletting or other transfers contained in leases, licenses and similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business; and (e) Payment Restrictions arising under applicable law.

SECTION 4.14. Maintenance of Offices or Agencies. The Company will maintain an office or an agency in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York (which may be an office of any Agent) where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Company and the Guarantors in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office.

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

The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

SECTION 4.15. Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder of the Notes will have the right to require that the Company repurchase such Holder’s Notes, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount, for a cash purchase price (the “CHANGE OF CONTROL PURCHASE PRICE”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of repurchase, all in accordance with paragraph (b) below.

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail to the Trustee (who shall mail to each holder at the Company’s expense) a notice (i) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control, (ii) offering to repurchase, pursuant to the procedures required by Section 3.08 and described in such notice (a “CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER”), on a date specified in such notice (which shall be a business day not earlier than 30 days or later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) and for the Change of Control Purchase Price, all Notes properly tendered by such Holder pursuant to

53

such offer to purchase for the Change of Control Purchase Price and (iii) describing the procedures that holders must follow to accept the Change of Control Offer.

(c) The Change of Control Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days (or for such longer period as is required by law) following its commencement (the “CHANGE OF CONTROL OFFER PERIOD”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the change of Control Offer Period (the “CHANGE OF CONTROL PURCHASE DATE”), the Company will purchase all Notes tendered in response to the Change of Control Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer will be satisfied if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner and at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company in this Indenture and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

(e) The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer.

SECTION 4.16. Limitations on Asset Sales. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate any Asset Sale unless (i) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets included in such Asset Sale (evidenced by the delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Asset Sale complies with this clause (i)), (ii) immediately after giving effect to such Asset Sale, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (iii) at least 80% of the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary therefor is in the form of cash paid at the closing thereof. The amount (without duplication) of any (x) Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly assumed by the transferee in such Asset Sale and with respect to which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released by the holder of such Indebtedness, and (y) any Cash Equivalents, or other notes, securities or items of property received from such transferee that are promptly (but in any event within 15 days) converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to cash (to the extent of the cash actually so received), shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of clause (iii) of the preceding sentence and, in the case of clause (x) above, shall also be deemed to constitute a repayment of, and a permanent reduction in, the amount of such Indebtedness for purposes of the following paragraph (b). If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset

54

Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 4.16. A transfer of assets by the Company to a Restricted Subsidiary or by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or to a Restricted Subsidiary will not be deemed to be an Asset Sale, and a transfer of assets that is excluded from the definition of “Restricted Payment” or that constitutes a Restricted Investment and that is permitted under Section 4.05 will not be deemed to be an Asset Sale.

(b) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 270 days after such Asset Sale (i) apply all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom to repay amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility or any other Senior Indebtedness; provided, in each case, that the related loan commitment (if any) of any Indebtedness constituting revolving credit debt is thereby permanently reduced by the amount of any such revolving credit debt so repaid; and/or (ii) invest all or any part of the Net Available Proceeds thereof in the purchase of fixed assets to be used by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in a Related Business (together with any short-term assets incidental thereto), or the making of a Related Business Investment. The amount of such Net Available Proceeds not applied or invested as provided in this paragraph will constitute “EXCESS PROCEEDS.”

(c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $10.0 million, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase, from all holders of the Notes, an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to the amount of such Excess Proceeds as follows:

(i) The Company will make an offer to purchase (a “NET PROCEEDS OFFER”) from all holders of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.08 the maximum principal amount (expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Notes that may be purchased out of the amount (the “PAYMENT AMOUNT”) of such Excess Proceeds.

(ii) The offer price for the Notes will be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date such Net Proceeds Offer is consummated (the “OFFERED PRICE”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.08. To the extent that the aggregate Offered Price of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Payment Amount relating thereto (such shortfall constituting a “NET PROCEEDS DEFICIENCY”), the Company may use such Net Proceeds Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for general corporate purposes, subject to the limitations of Section 4.05.

55

(iii) If the aggregate Offered Price of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Payment Amount, Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be appropriate so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral multiples thereof, will be purchased).

(iv) The Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days (or for such longer period as is required by law) following its commencement (the “NET PROCEEDS OFFER PERIOD”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “NET PROCEEDS PURCHASE DATE”), the Company will purchase the principal amount of Notes required to be purchased pursuant to this Section 4.16. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

(v) Upon completion of such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the amount of Excess Proceeds in respect of such Net Proceeds Offer shall be deemed to be zero.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any other Indebtedness of the Company which ranks pari passu with the Notes (the “OTHER Indebtedness”) requires an offer to purchase to be made to repurchase such Other Indebtedness upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company may apply the Excess Proceeds otherwise required to be applied to a Net Proceeds Offer to offer to purchase such Other Indebtedness and to a Net Proceeds Offer so long as the amount of such Excess Proceeds applied to purchase the Notes is not less than the Note Portion of Excess Proceeds. With respect to any Excess Proceeds, the Company shall make the Net Proceeds Offer in respect thereof at the same time as the analogous offer to purchase is made pursuant to any Other Indebtedness and the purchase date in respect of the Net Proceeds Offer shall be the same as the purchase date in respect of the offer to purchase pursuant to such Other Indebtedness.

For purposes of this Section 4.16, “NOTE PORTION OF EXCESS PROCEEDS,” in respect of a Net Proceeds Offer, means (1) if no Other Indebtedness is concurrently being offered to be purchased, the amount of the Excess Proceeds in respect of such Net Proceeds Offer and (2) if Other Indebtedness is concurrently being offered to be purchased, an amount equal to the product of (x) the Excess Proceeds in respect of such Net Proceeds Offer and (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the principal amount of all Notes tendered pursuant to such Net Proceeds Offer (the “NOTE AMOUNT”) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Note Amount and the lesser of the aggregate principal face amount or accreted value as of the relevant purchase date of all Other Indebtedness tendered pursuant to a concurrent offer to purchase such Other Indebtedness made at the time of such Net Proceeds Offer.

(e) The Company will not permit any Subsidiary to enter into or suffer to exist any agreement that would place any restriction of any kind (other than pursuant to law or

56

regulation) on the ability of the Company to make a Net Proceeds Offer following any Asset Sale.

(f) The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer.

SECTION 4.17. Additional Note Guarantees. (a) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall acquire or create another Subsidiary (other than (x) any Foreign Subsidiary so long as such Foreign Subsidiary is not a guarantor of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or (y) a Subsidiary that has been designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or (z) an Immaterial Subsidiary), then within 10 days after acquiring or creating such Subsidiary, the Company shall comply with paragraph (b) of this Section 4.17.

(b) Any Person required by paragraph (a) of this Section 4.17 to become, or that is at the option of the Company becoming, a Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, which subjects such Person to the provisions of this Indenture as a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of Article 11, and provide an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized and executed by such Person and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person (subject to customary assumptions and exceptions).

SECTION 4.18. Payments Pursuant to the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement; Reinvestments by Pro-Fac; Borrowings by Pro-Fac. (a) As promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten Business Days, after receipt from the Company of any payment made in excess of the Commercial Market Value for crops and other services pursuant to the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement, Pro-Fac will invest in cash as common equity interests (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) in the Company an amount equal to 70% of such excess. Without the consent of the Holders of at least 75% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), the Company will not: (a) amend the calculation of amounts payable to Pro-Fac under the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement in a manner which would increase the payments made to Pro-Fac, (b) amend the Pro-Fac Marketing Agreement to require that Affiliate Transactions involving Pro-Fac be approved by less than a majority of the Disinterested Directors or (c) amend this Section 4.18(a) or the definition of “Commercial Market Value” in this Indenture.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the preceding paragraph (a) shall not apply on and after the consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger. On and after the consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger, any payment to any member of Pro-Fac in cash or property (other than Capital Stock) for crops in excess of Commercial Market Value shall be deemed to be a Restricted Payment under Section 4.05. In addition, Pro-Fac will cause its certificate of incorporation and/or by-laws to be amended no later than the consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger to

57

require (i) that there shall be at least two Disinterested Directors on the Board of Directors of Pro-Fac at all times, (ii) the formation and maintenance of a committee of the Board of Directors of Pro-Fac to recommend Commercial Market Value, which committee shall include at least two Disinterested Directors at all times, (iii) approval by a majority of the Disinterested Directors of the annual profit plan of Pro-Fac (including the raw product section of the profit plan) and the final determination of Commercial Market Value, and (iv) precluding the further amendment of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of Pro-Fac concerning (i), (ii), and (iii) above without the consent of the Holders of at least 75% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Without the consent of the Holders of at least 75% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), the Company and Pro-Fac will not amend this Section 4.18(b) or the definition of “Commercial Market Value” in this Indenture.

SECTION 4.19. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance; Books and Records; Compliance with Law. (a) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times cause all properties used in the conduct of its business to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (reasonably wear and tear excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment, and shall cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, in each case, in a manner customary for companies similarly situated.

(b) The Company shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain insurance with insurance companies or association with a rating of “A-” or better, as established by Best’s Rating Guide (or an equivalent rating with such other publication of a similar nature as shall be in current use) in such amounts and covering such risks as are usually and customarily carried with respect to companies similarly situated and similar facilities according to their respective locations.

(c) The Company shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to keep proper books of record and account, in which full and correct entries shall be made of all financial transactions and the assets and business of the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(d) The Company shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply with all statutes, laws, ordinances, or government rules and regulations to which it is subject, non-compliance with which would materially adversely affect the business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

58

(e) The Company and each Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee any information reasonably requested by the Trustee in connection with compliance by the Trustee or the Company with any of their respective duties or obligations hereunder or under the TIA.

(f) Upon the request of the Trustee, the Company and each Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

(g) The Company shall not and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any agreement or instrument that by its terms expressly prohibits the Company from making any payments on or in respect of the Notes in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Indenture.

SUCCESSORS

SECTION 5.01. Limitations on Mergers and Certain Other Transactions. (a) The Company will not, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, (i) consolidate or merge with or into (other than a merger with a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation to another State of the United States; provided that clauses (a) and (d) below are complied with), or sell, lease, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of or assign all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to do so if such transaction would result in the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), or assign any of its obligations under the Notes and this Indenture, to any Person or (ii) adopt a Plan of Liquidation unless, in either case: (a) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition or assignment shall be made (or, in the case of a Plan of Liquidation, any Person to which assets are transferred) (collectively, the “SUCCESSOR”), is a corporation or a cooperative corporation organized and existing under the laws of any State of the United States of America or the District of Columbia, and the Successor assumes by supplemental indenture in a form satisfactory to the Trustee all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture; (b) immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption of the obligations as set forth in clause (a) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, no Default or Event of

59

Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, however, that in the case of the Pro-Fac Merger, the foregoing clause (b) shall be deemed to be satisfied if immediately after giving effect to the Pro-Fac Merger and the assumption of the obligations set forth in clause (a) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (c) immediately after and giving effect to such transaction and the assumption of the obligations set forth in clause (a) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, and the use of any net proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, (x) in the case of the Pro-Fac Merger only, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio shall be at least equal to or greater than the Consolidated Coverage Ratio immediately prior to the consummation of the Pro-Fac Merger and the assumption of the obligations set forth in clause (a) above and the incurrence of any Indebtedness to be incurred in connection therewith, and (y) in the case of any other such transaction, the Company or the Successor, as the case may be, could meet the Coverage Ratio Incurrence Condition; and (d) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, shall have by amendment to its Note Guarantee confirmed that its Note Guarantee shall apply to the obligations of the Company or the Successor under the Notes and this Indenture. For purposes of this Section 5.01, any Indebtedness of the Successor which was not Indebtedness of the Company immediately prior to the transaction shall be deemed to have been incurred in connection with such transaction.

(b) No Guarantor (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor whose Note Guarantee is to be released in accordance with Section 11.08) may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person or entity whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless:

(i) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor and this Indenture pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee under the Notes and this Indenture;

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and

(iii) immediately after giving effect to any such transaction involving a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Coverage Ratio Incurrence Condition would be met;

provided, however, that the foregoing paragraph (b) of this Section 5.01 shall not apply to the Pro-Fac Merger (the Pro-Fac Merger being governed by Section 5.01(a)).

SECTION 5.02. Successor Corporation Substituted. In the event of any transaction described in and complying with the conditions listed in Section 5.01 in which the Company or a Guarantor, as the case may be, is not the surviving Person, such surviving Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, and the Company shall be discharged from

60

its Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes or such Guarantor shall be discharged from its Obligations under this Indenture and its Note Guarantee, as the case may be.

(v) failure by either the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to make any principal payment at final maturity after the expiration of any applicable grace period in respect of any Indebtedness of the Company or any of such Restricted Subsidiaries, or the acceleration of the maturity of such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, with an aggregate outstanding principal amount for all such Indebtedness under this clause (v) of $7.5 million or more;

(vi) one or more final, non-appealable judgments or orders that exceed $7.5 million in the aggregate for the payment of money have been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of

61

the Company and such judgment or judgments have not been satisfied, stayed, annulled or rescinded within 60 days of being entered;

(vii) if under any Bankruptcy Law, (A) the Company, Pro-Fac or any Significant Subsidiary commences a voluntary case, consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (B) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree, and such order or decree remains unstated and in effect for 60 days, that is for relief against the Company, Pro-Fac or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case, appoints a Custodian of the Company, Pro-Fac or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property of the Company, Pro-Fac or any Significant Subsidiary, or orders the liquidation of the Company, Pro-Fac or any Significant Subsidiary; and

(b) Any notice of default delivered to the Company by the Trustee or by Holders of Notes with a copy to the Trustee must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “NOTICE OF DEFAULT”.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a)(vii) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee, by written notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the aggregate principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the outstanding Notes shall immediately become due and payable.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, if an Event of Default arises under Section 6.01(a)(vii) with respect to the Company, the principal amount of and premium on, if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on all outstanding Notes shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may rescind any declaration of acceleration of such Notes and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 9.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all Holders waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under this Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, any Note (which may only be waived with the consent of each Holder affected). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; provided that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority of Holders. Subject to Section 7.01(e), the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it by this Indenture. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

SECTION 6.06. Limitations on Suits by Holders. A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes only if: (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (2) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and (5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding

63

Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes, except as provided herein.

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, but subject to Article 10, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, a Note, on or after a respective due date expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or (a)(ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company (or any Guarantor or other obligor under the Notes) for (i) principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes, (ii) interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent lawful, interest, and (iii) such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel (“TRUSTEE EXPENSES”).

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for Trustee Expenses and for amounts due under Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any Guarantor or other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute to Holders any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and each Holder authorizes any Custodian in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or other judicial proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and if the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders any such Custodian is hereby authorized to make such payments directly to the Holders, and to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it hereunder for Trustee Expenses, and any other amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 7.07; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be authorized to (i) consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder or (ii) vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or other judicial proceeding.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

64

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.06, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

SECTION 6.12. Willful Default. In the case of an Event of Default occurring by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to redeem the Notes under the provisions of Article 3 and under the Notes, an equivalent premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, upon the acceleration of the Notes. If an Event of Default occurs prior to November 1, 2003 by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company with the intention of avoiding the prohibition on redemption of the Notes prior to November 1, 2003, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, an additional premium shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by law, in an amount equal to 10.0%.

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default occurs (and has not been cured) the Trustee shall (i) exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and (ii) use the same degree of care and skill in exercising such rights and powers as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Trustee shall at all times comply with section 310(b) of the TIA as in effect from time to time. Each Agent shall have the same rights as the Trustee under this Section 7.03.

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes; it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital in this Indenture or any statement in the Notes or any other document executed in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

67

SECTION 7.05. Notice to Holders of Defaults and Events of Default. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 30 days after the occurrence thereof. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on any Note (including any failure to redeem Notes called for redemption or any failure to purchase Notes that are tendered pursuant to an Offer and that are required to be purchased by the terms of this Indenture), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers determines in good faith that withholding such notice is in the Holders’ interests.

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with May 15, 1999, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with section 313(a) of the TIA (but if no event described in section 313(a) of the TIA has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with section 313(b)(2) of the TIA. The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by section 313(c) of the TIA.

Commencing at the time this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, a copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed. The Company shall notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange.

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services hereunder 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 disbursements, advances and expenses it incurs or makes in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements, advances, collection costs and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee for, from and against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) the Trustee incurs arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture (including any expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its duties under Section 6.08), except as set forth below. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity; provided, however, that failure by the Trustee to provide the Company with any such notice shall not relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Section 7.07 except to the extent that the Company has been prejudiced by such failure. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense of any such claim. If, in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee’s counsel, the

68

Trustee has an interest adverse to the Company or a potential conflict of interest exists between the Trustee and the Company, the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability the Trustee incurs through the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith.

To secure payment of the Company’s obligations under this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property the Trustee holds or collects, except that held in trust to pay principal of, and premium, if any, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. The Trustee’s right to receive payments due under this Section 7.07 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(vii) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute administrative expenses under any Bankruptcy Law without any need to demonstrate substantial contribution under Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

The Trustee may resign and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10; (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; (iii) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of performing the services of the Trustee hereunder.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee; provided that within one year after such appointment the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace any successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

69

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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 appointment to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property it holds as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to its rights under Section 7.07 and provided that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the retiring Trustee’s benefit with respect to expenses and liabilities relating to the retiring Trustee’s activities prior to being replaced.

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, subject to Section 7.10, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times (i) be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, of any state thereof, or the District of Columbia authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, (ii) be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition, and (iv) satisfy the requirements of sections 310(a) and 310(b) of the TIA.

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

as provided in Article 10), or otherwise affect the ranking of the Notes or the Note Guarantees; or (ix) release any Guarantor from any of its payment obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise in accordance with this Indenture.

(b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to each Holder affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with TIA. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. (a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same Indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on such Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

(b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Notes entitled to consent to any amendment or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of Notes at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders of Notes after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Notes required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.

(c) After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in clause (C) of Section 9.02(a), in which case the amendment or waiver shall only bind each Holder that consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note.

76

SECTION 9.05. Notation or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.06. Trustee Protected. The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Sections 12.04 and 12.05 as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor may sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors of the Company approves it.

ARTICLE 10

SUBORDINATION

SECTION 10.01. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company and each Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the payment by the Company of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes, and by each Guarantor of such amounts under its Note Guarantee (collectively, the “NOTE INDEBTEDNESS”), are subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash when due of the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on and all other amounts owing in respect of all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Company and of such Guarantor, as the case may be.

SECTION 10.02. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution to creditors of the Company or any Guarantor of the assets of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, of any kind or character in a total or partial liquidation or dissolution of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, whether voluntary or involuntary (including any assignment for the benefit of creditors and proceedings for marshaling of assets and liabilities of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be) (an “INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDING”), the holders of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case

77

may be, then outstanding will be entitled to payment in full in cash (including interest accruing subsequent to the filing of petition of bankruptcy or insolvency at the rate specified in the document relating to the applicable Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim enforceable against the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, under applicable law) before the Holders of Notes are entitled to receive any payment on or with respect to the Note Indebtedness from the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, and until all Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, receives payment in full in cash, any distribution to which the Holders of Notes would be entitled will be made to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

SECTION 10.03. No Payment on Notes in Certain Circumstances. (a) Upon the occurrence of any default in the payment of any principal of or interest on or other amounts due on any Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor (a “PAYMENT DEFAULT”), no payment of any kind or character shall be made by the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, (or by any other Person on its or their behalf) with respect to the Note Indebtedness unless and until (i) such Payment Default shall have been cured or waived in accordance with the instruments governing such Designated Senior Indebtedness or shall have ceased to exist, (ii) such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or paid in full in cash in accordance with the instruments governing such Designated Senior Indebtedness, or (iii) the benefits of this sentence have been waived by the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or their Representative immediately after which the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, must resume making any and all required payments, including missed payments, in respect of its obligations under the Notes.

(b) Upon (i) the occurrence and continuance of an event of default (other than a Payment Default) relating to Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, as such event of default is defined therein or in the instrument or agreement under which such Designated Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, which event of default, pursuant to the instruments governing such Designated Senior Indebtedness, entitles the holders (or a specified portion of the holders) of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or their designated representative to immediately accelerate without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace period the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness (whether or not such acceleration has actually occurred) (a “NON-PAYMENT DEFAULT”) and (ii) the receipt by the Trustee and the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, from the trustee or other Representative of holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of written notice (a “PAYMENT BLOCKAGE NOTICE”) of such occurrence, no payment is permitted to be made by the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, (or by any other Person on its or their behalf) in respect of the Note Indebtedness for a period (a “PAYMENT BLOCKAGE PERIOD”) commencing on the date of receipt by the Trustee of such Payment Blockage Notice and ending on the earliest to occur of the following

78

events (subject to any blockage of payments that may then be in effect due to a Payment Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness): (w) such Non-payment Default has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist; (x) a 179-consecutive-day period commencing on the date such Payment Blockage Notice is received by the Trustee has elapsed; (y) such Payment Blockage Period has been terminated by written notice to the Trustee from the trustee or other representative of holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such Non-payment Default has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist; and (z) such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or paid in full in cash, immediately after which, in the case of clause (w), (x), (y) or (z), the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, must resume making any and all required payments, including missed payments, in respect of its obligations under the Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) not more than one Payment Blockage Period may be commenced in any period of 360 consecutive days and (B) no default or event of default with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, that was the subject of a Payment Blockage Notice which existed or was continuing on the date of the giving of any Payment Blockage Notice shall be or serve as the basis for the giving of a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of at least 90 consecutive days after such date. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, in no event may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods are in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any 360 day consecutive period.

SECTION 10.04. Acceleration of Notes. If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify each holder of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor of the acceleration.

SECTION 10.05. When Distributions Must Be Paid Over. In the event that any payment or distribution of assets of the Company or any Guarantor, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of Notes at a time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Article 10, such payment or distribution shall be segregated from other funds or assets and held in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, and shall be paid or delivered by the Trustee or such Holders, as the case may be, to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, remaining unpaid or unprovided for or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, held or represented by each, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay or to provide for the payment in full in

79

cash of all such Senior Indebtedness after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on its part as are specifically set forth in this Article 10, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to any holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor and shall not be liable to any holders of such Senior Indebtedness if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to, or on behalf of, Holders or the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of such Senior Indebtedness are entitled pursuant to this Article 10, except if such payment is made at a time when a Trust Officer has knowledge that the terms of this Article 10 prohibit such payment.

SECTION 10.06. Notice. Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall at any time be charged with the knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee or Paying Agent under this Article 10, unless and until the Trustee or Paying Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or such Guarantor or one or more holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, or a Representative of any holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall be entitled to assume conclusively that no such facts exist. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of written notice by a Person representing itself to be a holder of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor (or a Representative thereof) to establish that such notice has been given.

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of any facts it knows that would cause a payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on, the Notes or any other Obligation in respect of the Notes to violate this Article 10, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor provided in this Article 10 or the rights of holders of such Senior Indebtedness under this Article 10.

SECTION 10.07. Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor has been paid in full in cash and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to such Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to Holders have been applied to the payment of such Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article 10 to holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company or such Guarantor, as the

80

case may be, and Holders, a payment by the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, on its Senior Indebtedness.

SECTION 10.08. Relative Rights. This Article 10 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor. Nothing in this Indenture shall: (1) impair, as between the Company or a Guarantor, as the case may be, and Holders, the Obligations of the Company or any Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes in accordance with their terms; (2) affect the relative rights of Holders and the creditors of the Company or any Guarantor other than their rights in relation to holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor; or (3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders.

Nothing contained in this Article 10 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, any Guarantor and the Holders, the Obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Company and the Guarantors other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon Default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 10 of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, or interest on the Notes by reason of any provision of this Article 10 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01.

SECTION 10.09. The Company, Guarantors and Holders May Not Impair Subordination. (a) No right of any holder of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor to enforce the subordination as provided in this Article 10 shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Guarantor or by any noncompliance by the Company or any Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture or the Notes or any other agreement regardless of any knowledge thereof with which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged.

(b) Without in any way limiting Section 10.09(a), the holders of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor may, at any time and from time to time to the extent not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture, without the consent of or notice to any

81

Holders, without incurring any liabilities to any Holder and without impairing or releasing the subordination and other benefits provided in this Indenture or the Holders’ obligations to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, even if any Holder’s right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby, do any one or more of the following: (i) amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify, increase or supplement (to the extent permitted under this Indenture) in any manner such Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing or guaranteeing or securing such Senior Indebtedness or any agreement under which such Senior Indebtedness is outstanding (including, but not limited to, changing the manner, place or terms of payment or changing or extending the time of payment of, or renewing, exchanging, amending, increasing or altering (to the extent permitted under this Indenture), (x) the terms of such Senior Indebtedness, (y) any security for, or any Guarantee of, such Senior Indebtedness, (z) any liability of any obligor on such Senior Indebtedness (including any guarantor) or any liability incurred in respect of such Senior Indebtedness); (ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior Indebtedness or any liability of any obligor thereon, to such holder, or any liability incurred in respect thereof; (iii) settle or compromise any such Senior Indebtedness or any other liability of any obligor of such Senior Indebtedness to such holder or any security therefor or any liability incurred in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including, without limitation, payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness) in any manner or order; and (iv) fail to take or to record or otherwise perfect, for any reason or for no reason, any lien or security interest securing such Senior Indebtedness by whomsoever granted, exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against any obligor or any guarantor or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with any obligor and any security for such Senior Indebtedness or any liability of any obligor to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or any liability incurred in respect of such Senior Indebtedness.

SECTION 10.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made, or a notice given, to holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative, if any. If any payment or distribution of the Company’s assets is required to be made to holders of any of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, or upon any certificate of a Representative of such Senior Indebtedness or a Custodian, in ascertaining the holders of such Senior Indebtedness entitled to participate in any such payment or distribution, the amount to be paid or distributed to holders of such Senior Indebtedness and all other facts pertinent to such payment or distribution or to this Article 10.

82

SECTION 10.11. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. The Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes unless prior to any payment date it has received written notice of facts that would cause a payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes to violate this Article 10. Only the Company, a Guarantor, a Representative of Senior Indebtedness, or a holder of Senior Indebtedness that has no Representative may give such notice.

To the extent permitted by the TIA, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor (including Senior Indebtedness) with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

SECTION 10.12. Trust Moneys Not Subordinated; Permitted Junior Securities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (x) payments of U.S. Legal Tender or the proceeds of Government Securities held in trust under Article 8 by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 10 and (y) Holders of Notes may receive and retain Permitted Junior Securities, and no such receipt or retention will be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness or subject to the restrictions described in this Article 10, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any Guarantor, any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor or any other creditor of the Company or any Guarantor.

SECTION 10.13. Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Holder of a Note by its acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 10, and appoints the Trustee as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes (including, without limitation, the timely filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of the Note that such Holder holds in the form required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and causing such claim to be approved).

If a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding is not filed by or on behalf of all Holders prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claims or proofs, then the holders or a Representative of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor are hereby authorized, and shall have the right (without any duty), to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders.

83

ARTICLE 11

GUARANTEE

SECTION 11.01. Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees (each a “NOTE GUARANTEE”) to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee that: (i) the principal of, premium and interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption, upon an Offer or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest (including Additional Interest, if any), and premium, if any, on the Notes, if any, to the extent lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture and the Notes will be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

Each Guarantor hereby further agrees that its Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall, subject to Section 11.05, be unconditional, regardless of the validity, legality or enforceability of this Indenture or the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce this Indenture or the Notes, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions this Indenture or the Notes, any modification or amendment of, or supplement of, this Indenture or the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce any such judgment, or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance by the Company of such Obligations. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, such Guarantor or a Custodian of the Company or such Guarantor any amount paid by the Company or such Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, its Note Guarantee shall, to the extent previously discharged as a result of any such payment, be immediately reinstated and be in full force and effect. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Company’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for purposes of its Note Guarantee notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of the Company’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes as provided in Article 6, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purpose of its Note Guarantee.

84

SECTION 11.02. Trustee to Include Paying Agent. In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article 11 shall (unless the context shall otherwise require) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully and for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article 11 in place of the Trustee.

SECTION 11.03. Subordination of Guarantee. Each Guarantor’s Obligations under its Note Guarantee shall be junior and subordinated in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor in the same manner and to the same extent as the Notes are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company pursuant to Article 10.

SECTION 11.04. Limits of Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 11, the aggregate amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Indenture by each Guarantor shall be limited in amount to the maximum amount that would not render such Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any applicable state law.

SECTION 11.05. Severability.  In case any provision of this Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 11.06. Subrogation. Upon making any payment with respect to the Company hereunder, each Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such payment; provided that no Guarantor shall enforce any payment by way of subrogation or contribution until all Obligations of the Company under this Indenture have been paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 11.03, forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.06 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 11.07. Execution of Guarantee. To evidence their Note Guarantee to the Noteholders specified in Section 11.01, the Guarantors hereby agree to execute the Note Guarantee in substantially the form of EXHIBIT E, which shall be endorsed on each Note ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding

85

any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee. Each such Note Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by two Officers, or an Officer and an Assistant Secretary or one Officer shall sign and one Officer or an Assistant Secretary (each of whom shall, in each case, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall attest to such Note Guarantee prior to the authentication of the Note on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Note Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such signatures upon the Note Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Note Guarantee, and in case any such officer who shall have signed the Note Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the Note on which such Note Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed the Note Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer of the Guarantor.

SECTION 11.08. Release of Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee if:

(i) all of the assets or Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor have been sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction in compliance with the terms of this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 4.16); or

(ii) the Subsidiary Guarantor is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the terms of this Indenture (including Section 4.05);

and in each such case, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release is authorized and permitted hereunder.

The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee endorsed on the Notes and under this Article 11.

ARTICLE 12
