If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity bond shall be posted, sufficient in the judgment of the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if such Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for the Company’s expenses in replacing such Note and the Trustee may charge the Company for the Trustee’s expenses in replacing such Note. Every replacement Note shall constitute an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

39

SECTION 2.8             Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for (a) those canceled by it, (b) those delivered to it for cancellation or (c) those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser in whose hands such Note is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company.

If the Paying Agent holds, in its capacity as such, on any Maturity Date or on any optional redemption date money sufficient to pay all accrued interest and principal with respect to such Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.9             Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any declaration of acceleration or notice of default or direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company or any Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent or any amendment, modification or other change to this Indenture, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. The Company shall notify the Trustee, in writing, when it or any of its Affiliates repurchases or otherwise acquires Notes, of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes so repurchased or otherwise acquired.

SECTION 2.10           Temporary Notes.

Until definitive Notes are prepared and ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes (together with related Guarantees executed by the Guarantors). Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company reasonably considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes (together with related Guarantees executed by the Guarantors) in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such exchange, such temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as the definitive Notes.

40

SECTION 2.11           Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall (subject to the record-retention requirements of the Exchange Act) dispose of canceled Notes unless the Company directs the Trustee to return such Notes to the Company. The Company may not reissue or resell, or issue new Notes to replace, Notes that the Company has redeemed or paid, or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.12           Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. Such record date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail (or cause to be mailed) to each Securityholder a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.1 (a) or (b) shall be paid to Holders of Notes as of the regular record date for the interest payment date for which interest has not been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may make payment of any defaulted interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange.

SECTION 2.13           CUSIP Number.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use a “CUSIP” number, and if so, such CUSIP number shall be included in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number 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 number.

41

(c)           In connection with the transfer of Global Securities as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Securities 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 Securities, an equal aggregate principal amount of U.S. Physical Securities (together with related Guarantees executed by the Guarantors) of authorized denominations.

The Company shall give each notice provided for in this Section 3.1 at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), together with an Officers’ Certificate stating that such redemption will comply with the conditions contained herein and in the Notes.

SECTION 3.2             Selection of Notes To Be Redeemed.

The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $1,000.

(b)  the redemption price to be paid;

(c)  the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(f)  if any Note is to be redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of such Note to be redeemed and that, on or after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued without charge to the Securityholder;

SECTION 3.4             Effect of Notice of Redemption.

SECTION 3.6             Notes Redeemed in Part.

Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Note (together with related Guarantees executed by the Guarantors) equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Net Proceeds Offer Amount is less than $20 million, the application of the Net Cash Proceeds constituting such Net Proceeds Offer Amount to a Net Proceeds Offer may be deferred until such time as such Net Proceeds Offer Amount plus the aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts arising subsequent to the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date relating to such initial Net Proceeds Offer Amount from all Asset Sales by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries aggregates at least $10 million, at which time the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply all Net Cash Proceeds constituting all Net Proceeds Offer Amounts that have been so deferred to make a Net Proceeds Offer (the first date the aggregate of all such deferred Net Proceeds Offer Amounts is equal to $20 million or more shall be deemed to be a Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date).

(c)           Notwithstanding paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.12, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be permitted to consummate an Asset Sale without complying with such paragraphs to the extent that:

(1)           at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale constitutes Productive Assets (and to the extent any of such Productive Assets constitutes an Investment, such Investment complies with Section 4.8); and

(2)           such Asset Sale is for at least fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors); provided that any consideration not constituting Productive Assets received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale permitted to be consummated under this paragraph shall constitute Net Cash Proceeds and shall be subject to the provisions of this covenant with respect to the application of Net Cash Proceeds; provided that at the time of entering into such transaction or immediately after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.

(d)           Within 25 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, the Company shall mail or cause the Trustee to mail (in the Company’s name and at its expense)

58

notice of a Net Proceeds Offer to the Holders of the Notes at their last registered addresses with a copy to the Trustee and the Paying Agent. The Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open from the time of mailing for at least 20 Business Days and until the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Net Proceeds Offer, shall state:

(i)            that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.12;

(ii)           the purchase price (including the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any) for each Note and the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date;

(iii)          that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms thereof;

(iv)          that any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date unless the Company shall fail to make payment therefor;

(v)           that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender their Notes to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date and must complete any form letter of transmittal proposed by the Company and acceptable to the Trustee and the Paying Agent;

(vi)          that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, a telex or facsimile transmission (confirmed by overnight delivery of the original thereof) or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes the Holder delivered for purchase, the Note certificate number (if any) and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased;

(vii)         that if Notes in a principal amount in excess of the Holders’ pro rata share of the Net Proceeds are tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, the Company shall purchase Notes on a pro rata basis among the Notes tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 shall be acquired);

59

(viii)        that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; and

(ix)           the instructions that Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes.

On or before the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment, on a pro rata basis among the Notes, Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer, (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money, in immediately available funds, in an amount sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered and accepted and (iii) deliver to the Paying Agent the Notes so accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Notes or portions thereof tendered to and accepted for payment by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or deliver to Holders of Notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Notes not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Net Proceeds Offer on the first Business Day following the Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date. The Paying Agent shall promptly deliver to the Company the balance of any moneys held by the Paying Agent after payment to the Holders of Notes as aforesaid.

(e)           To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may use any remaining Net Proceeds Offer Amount for general corporate purposes. Upon completion of any such Net Proceeds Offer, the Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset at zero.

(f)            In the event of the transfer of substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Article V, which transaction does not constitute a Change of Control, the successor Person shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this Section 4.12, and shall comply with the provisions of clause (a)(3) of this Section 4.12 respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale.

(g)           The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations (including Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act) in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.12, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.12 by virtue thereof.

that such unpaid fees and/or expenses shall be paid at such time as such Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

SECTION 4.14           Prohibition on Incurrence of Senior Subordinated Debt.

Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall incur Indebtedness that is senior in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee and subordinate in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

(2)                           (a) if any such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary is provided in respect of Senior Debt, the guarantee or other instrument provided by such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Senior Debt may be superior to such guarantee of the Notes pursuant to subordination provisions no less favorable to the Holders of the Notes than those contained in this Indenture and (b) if such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary is provided in respect of Indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes, the guarantee or other instrument provided by such Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Subordinated Obligation shall be subordinated to such guarantee at least to the same extent that the Notes are subordinated to Senior Debt.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Notes shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, upon:

(1)                           the unconditional release of such Restricted Subsidiary from its liability in respect of the Indebtedness in connection with which such Guarantee was executed and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph and all other Indebtedness which would require that a Guarantee be executed and delivered pursuant to the preceding paragraph;

(2)                           any sale or other disposition (by merger or otherwise) to any Person which is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of all of the Company’s Capital Stock in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (a) such sale or disposition of such Capital Stock or assets is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and (b) such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Restricted Subsidiary has been released by the holders of the other Indebtedness of the Company so guaranteed;

(b)           At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in the preceding paragraph, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and cancel, on behalf of all Holders, such declaration and its consequences:

(1)          if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

(2)          if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

(3)          to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

(4)          if the Company has paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and

(5)          in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.1(f) or (g), the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

72

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

In the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated pursuant to this Section 6.2, 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of payment shall become due and payable.

SECTION 6.3             Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 6.4             Waiver of Past Default.

Subject to Sections 6.7 and 9.2, prior to the declaration of acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, the Holder or Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee may waive on behalf of all the Holders any past default under this Indenture and its consequence, except a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note or a default with respect to any covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected pursuant to Section 9.2.

SECTION 6.5             Control by Majority.

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, including, without limitation, any remedies provided for in Section 6.3. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, the Notes or this Indenture, or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Securityholder or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

73

SECTION 6.6            Limitation on Suits.

A Securityholder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue a remedy;

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

(d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 30 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(e) during such 30-day period the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction which is inconsistent with the request.

A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Securityholder.

SECTION 6.7            Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.8            Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount of principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest overdue on principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the interest rate and 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.

74

SECTION 6.9            Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee shall be entitled and empowered to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Securityholder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.10          Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out such money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7;

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

Third: to the Company.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Article VI.

SECTION 6.11          Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the

75

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 6.7, or a suit by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

SECTION 6.12          Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 6.13          Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article VI or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.1            Duties of Trustee.

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

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

(i)        The Trustee need perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture or the TIA and no others and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.

76

(ii)       In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificate or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(c)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i)        This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 7.1.

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

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

(e)       Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 7.1.

(f)        The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

SECTION 7.2            Rights of Trustee.

Subject to Section 7.1:

(a)   The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been

77

signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

(b)   Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting with respect to any matter contemplated by this Indenture, it may require an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 13.5. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(c)   The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent (other than the negligence or willful misconduct of an agent who is an employee of the Trustee) appointed with due care.

(d)   The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith and without negligence which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture or the TIA.

(e)   The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.

(f)   The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

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

(h)   The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate,

78

including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

SECTION 7.3            Individual Rights of Trustee.

The Trustee in its individual capacity or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee is subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.4            Trustee’s Disclaimer.

The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, and it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture, or any statement in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.5            Notice of Defaults.

If a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 60 days after it occurs or, if later, within 10 days after such Default or Event of Default becomes known to the Trustee, unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note, including an acceleration, and the failure to make payment when required by Sections 4.12 and 4.15, the Trustee may withhold the notice to the Holders if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders.

SECTION 7.6            Reports by Trustee to Holders.

Within 60 days after each November 15 beginning with November 15, 2003, the Trustee shall transmit to each Securityholder a report dated as of May 15 of the relevant year that complies with the requirements of TIA § 313(a). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b) and TIA § 313(c) and (d). A copy of such report at the time of its transmission to Securityholders shall be filed with the SEC, if required, with each stock exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed and with the Company.

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee if the Notes become listed on any stock exchange and the Trustee shall comply with TIA § 313(d).

79

SECTION 7.7            Compensation and Indemnity.

The Company shall pay to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar from time to time such compensation for their respective services rendered hereunder as agreed in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements, expenses and advances (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred or made by each of them in connection with the performance of its duties under this Indenture. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, reasonable out-of-pocket disbursements and reasonable expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and their agents, employees, officers, directors and shareholders against any and all claims, expenses, loss or liability incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the administration of its duties under this Indenture. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim asserted against it for which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim with counsel designated by the Company, who may be outside counsel to the Company, but shall in all events be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel; provided that the Company will not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes the Trustee’s defense and there is no conflict of interest between the Company and the Trustee in connection with such defense. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes and the Guarantees on all money or property held or collected by it in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Notes.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.l(f) or 6.1(g) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

This section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

80

SECTION 7.8            Replacement of Trustee.

The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Trustee. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

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

(b)  the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

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

(d)  the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee (subject to the lien provided in Section 7.7), 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. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Securityholder.

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 25% in principal amount of then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

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

Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

81

SECTION 7.9            Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee; provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VII.

SECTION 7.10          Eligibility; Disqualification.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA § 310(a)(l) and (2). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b); provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(l) any indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(l) are met. The provisions of TIA § 310 shall apply to the Company, as obligor of the Notes.

SECTION 7.11          Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 31l(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 31l(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311 (a) to the extent indicated therein.

ARTICLE VIII

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; DEFEASANCE

SECTION 8.1            Termination of the Company’s Obligations.

The Company may terminate its obligations under the Notes and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Guarantees, as the case may be, and this Indenture, except those obligations referred to in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 8.1, if all Notes previously authenticated and delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Notes which have been replaced or paid or Notes for whose payment U.S. Legal Tender has theretofore been deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company, as provided in Section 8.5) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Company has paid all sums payable by it hereunder, or if:

82

(a) either (i) pursuant to Article III, the Company shall have given notice to the Trustee and mailed a notice of redemption to each Holder of the redemption of all of the Notes under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of such notice or (ii) all Notes have otherwise become due and payable hereunder;

(b) the Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee, as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders for that purpose, U.S. Legal Tender in such amount as is sufficient without consideration of reinvestment of interest, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes to maturity or redemption; provided that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such U.S. Legal Tender to the payment of said principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes; and provided, further, that from and after the time of deposit, the money deposited shall not be subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of Article X and Article XII;

(c) no Default or Event of Default with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur immediately after giving effect to such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound;

(d) the Company shall have paid all other sums payable by it hereunder; and

(e) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent providing for or relating to the termination of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, as the case may be, and this Indenture have been complied with. Such Opinion of Counsel shall also state that such satisfaction and discharge does not result in a default under the Senior Credit Facility (if then in effect) or any other material agreement or material instrument then known to such counsel that binds or affects the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.10, 4.1, 4.2, 7.7, 8.5 and 8.6 shall survive until the Notes are no longer outstanding pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.8. After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.7, 8.5 and 8.6 shall survive.

After such delivery or irrevocable deposit, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, as the case may be, and this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.

83

SECTION 8.2            Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

(a)       The Company may, at its option by Board Resolution of the Board of Directors, at any time, elect to have either paragraph (b) or (c) below be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 8.3.

(b)       Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (b), each of the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.4 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), and Holders of the Notes and any amounts deposited under Section 8.3 hereof shall cease to be subject to any obligations to, or the rights of, any holder of Senior Debt under Article X or otherwise, except for the following provisions, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.4 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and interest on such Notes when and to the extent such payments are due, (ii) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article II and Section 4.2 hereof, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith, including Section 7.7 hereof and (iv) this Article VIII. Subject to compliance with this Article VIII, the Company may exercise its option under this paragraph (b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under paragraph (c) hereof.

(c)       Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), each of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Holdings, the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 hereof, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.8 through 4.15, Sections 4.18 and 4.19 and Article V hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes) and Holders of the Notes and any amounts deposited under Section 8.3 hereof shall cease to be subject to any obligations to, or the rights of, any holder of Senior Debt under Article X,

84

Article XII or otherwise. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company and its Subsidiaries may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event or Default under Section 6.1 (c) hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) hereof of the option applicable to this paragraph (c), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 hereof, Sections 6. l(c) and 6.1(e) shall not constitute Events of Default.

SECTION 8.3            Conditions to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.2(b) or 8.2(c) hereof to the outstanding Notes:

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(a)   the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment on the Notes, U.S. Legal Tender, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, of such principal or installment of principal of or interest on the Notes; provided that the Trustee shall have received an irrevocable written order from the Company instructing the Trustee to apply such U.S. Legal Tender or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments with respect to the Notes;

(b)   in the case of an election under Section 8.2(b) hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal

85

income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c)   in the case of an election under Section 8.2(c) hereof, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d)   no Default or Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Notes pursuant to this Article VIII concurrently with such incurrence) or insofar as Sections 6.1(f) and 6. l(g) hereof are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit;

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

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

(g)   the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

(h)   the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the trust funds will not be subject to any rights of any holders of Senior Debt, including, without limitation, those arising under this Indenture, and (ii) assuming no intervening bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company between the date of deposit and the 91st day following the deposit and that no Holder is an insider of the Company, after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable Bankruptcy Law.

86

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by clause (b) above of this Section 8.3 need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable on the Maturity Date within one year or (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

SECTION 8.4            Application of Trust Money.

The Trustee or Paying Agent shall hold in trust U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to this Article VIII, and shall apply the deposited U.S. Legal Tender and the money from U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to invest said U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations except as it may agree with the Company.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article VIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the Company’s request any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.3 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

SECTION 8.5            Repayment to the Company.

Subject to this Article VIII, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon request any excess U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time and thereupon shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such money. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years; provided that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any payment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each Holder entitled to such money notice that such money remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein which shall be at least 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing any

87

unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Holders entitled to such money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable law designates another Person.

SECTION 8.6            Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Article VIII; provided that if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

SECTION 9.1            Without Consent of Holders.

Without the consent of any Holders, the Company and the Guarantors, when authorized by resolutions of their respective Boards of Directors (copies of which shall be delivered to the Trustee), and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees without notice to any Holder for any of the following purposes:

(g) to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect; provided that in making such change, the Trustee may rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that such change does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect.

SECTION 9.2            With Consent of Holders.

Subject to Section 6.7 and the provisions of this Section 9.2, the Company and the Guarantors, when authorized by resolutions of their respective Boards of Directors (copies of which shall be delivered to the Trustee), and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Subject to Section 6.7 and the provisions of this Section 9.2, the Holders of, in the aggregate, at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes affected may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture without notice to any other Securityholder. However, without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.4 may not:

(a) reduce the percentage of principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes;

(b) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Note;

(d)       make the principal of, or any interest on, any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note;

(e)       make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default;

89

(f)        amend, change or modify any provisions of this Indenture or the related definitions affecting the Company’s obligation to make a Change of Control Offer in a manner which adversely affects the Holders;

(g)       after the Company’s obligation to purchase Notes arises thereunder, amend, change or modify in any material respect the obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Net Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale that has been consummated or, after such Asset Sale has been consummated, modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto;

(h)       modify or change any provision of this Indenture or the related definitions affecting the subordination or ranking of the Notes or any Guarantee in a manner which adversely affects the Holders; or

(i)        release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall modify any provision of Article X or Article XII of this Indenture without the consent of each holder of any then outstanding Designated Senior Debt.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders 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 supplemental indenture.

In connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver under this Article IX, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, offer to any Holder who consents to such amendment, supplement or waiver, or to all Holders, consideration for such Holder’s consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 9.3            Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

90

SECTION 9.4            Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Note or portion of that Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this paragraph shall impair the right of any Securityholder under § 316(b) of the TIA.

The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver which record date shall be at least 10 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the second and third sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. Such consent shall be effective only for actions taken within 90 days after such record date.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (a) through (1) of Section 9.2. In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Note who has consented to it.

SECTION 9.5            Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may (in accordance with the specific direction of the Company) request the Holder of the Note to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may (in accordance with the specific direction of the Company) place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note (together with related Guarantees of the Guarantors) that reflects the changed terms. 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 9.6            Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc.

The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect

91

the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested, an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor may sign an amendment until its Board of Directors approves it.

ARTICLE X

SUBORDINATION

SECTION 10.1          Notes Subordinated to Senior Debt.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company, for itself and its successors, and each Holder, by his acceptance of Notes, agrees that the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article X, to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of Senior Debt, of all Senior Debt Obligations (including the Senior Debt Obligations with respect to the Senior Credit Facility, whether outstanding on the Issue Date or thereafter incurred).

This Article X shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Debt, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions.

SECTION 10.2          Suspension of Payment When Senior Debt Is in Default.

(a)       If any default occurs and is continuing in the payment when due, whether at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise, of any principal of, interest on, unpaid drawings for letters of credit issued in respect of, or regularly accruing fees with respect to, any Senior Debt (including, without limitation, guarantees of the foregoing items which constitute Senior Debt) (a “Payment Default”), then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of the Company or any other Person on its or their behalf with respect to any Obligations or to acquire any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise until such Payment Default (and all other Payment Defaults) shall have been cured or waived in accordance with the terms of the documentation governing the respective Senior Debt or ceased to exist or all Senior Debt with respect to which any

92

Payment Default has occurred and is continuing shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents.

(b)       If any event of default (other than a Payment Default) occurs and is continuing with respect to any Designated Senior Debt (as such event of default is defined in the instrument creating or evidencing such Designated Senior Debt) permitting the holders of such Designated Senior Debt then outstanding to accelerate the maturity thereof (a “Non payment Default”), and if the Representative for the respective issue of Designated Senior Debt gives notice of the event of default to the Trustee stating that such notice is a payment blockage notice (a “Payment Blockage Notice”), then during the period (the “Payment Blockage Period”) beginning upon the delivery of such Payment Blockage Notice and ending on the earlier of the 180th day after such delivery and the date on which (x) all events of default with respect to all Designated Senior Debt have been cured or waived or cease to exist, (y) all Designated Senior Debt with respect to which any such event of default has occurred and is continuing is discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, or (z) the Trustee receives notice thereof from the Representative for the respective issue of Designated Senior Debt terminating the Payment Blockage Period, neither the Company nor any other Person on its behalf shall (i) make any payment of any kind or character with respect to any Obligations or (ii) acquire any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in no event will a Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 180 days from the date the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received by the Trustee and (y) only one such Payment Blockage Period may be commenced within any 360 consecutive days. For all purposes of this Section 10.2(b), no event of default which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Debt shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a second Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Debt whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days (it being acknowledged that any subsequent action, or any breach of any financial covenants for a period ending after the date of commencement of such Payment Blockage Period that, in either case, would give rise to an event of default pursuant to any provisions under which an event of default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new event of default for this purpose).

(c)       In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee, any Holder or any Paying Agent when such payment is prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, as their respective interests may appear. The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on information regarding amounts then due and owing on the Senior Debt, if any, received from the holders of Senior Debt (or their Representatives)

93

or, if such information is not received from such holders or their Representatives, from the Company and only amounts included in the information provided to the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be paid to the holders of Senior Debt.

Nothing contained in this Article X shall limit the right of the Trustee or the Holders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Notes and all other Obligations pursuant to Article VI or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder; provided that all Senior Debt thereafter due or declared to be due shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents before the Holders are entitled to receive any payment of any kind or character with respect to Obligations.

SECTION 10.3         Obligations Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior Debt on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of Company.

(a)       Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any total or partial liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets and liabilities of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding relating to the Company or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all Senior Debt Obligations due or to become due shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of Senior Debt, before any payment or distribution of any kind or character is made on account of any Obligations or for the acquisition of any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise. Upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled, except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders, the Trustee or any Paying Agent if received by them, directly to the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all such Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of Senior Debt.

(b)       To the extent any payment of Senior Debt (whether by or on behalf of the Company, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver,

94

trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then, if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person, the Senior Debt or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.

It is further agreed that any diminution (whether pursuant to court decree or otherwise, including without limitation for any of the reasons described in the preceding sentence) of the Company’s obligation to make any distribution or payment pursuant to any Senior Debt, except to the extent such diminution occurs by reason of the repayment (which has not been disgorged or returned) of such Senior Debt in cash or Cash Equivalents, shall have no force or effect for purposes of the subordination provisions contained in this Article X, with any turnover of payments as otherwise calculated pursuant to this Article X to be made as if no such diminution had occurred.

(c)       In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any Holder when such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Section 10.3, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all such Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Debt.

(d)       The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with or into, another corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, to another corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company upon the terms and conditions provided in Article V hereof and as long as permitted under the terms of the Senior Debt shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, assume the Company’s obligations hereunder in accordance with Article V hereof.

SECTION 10.4          Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution,

Nothing contained in this Article X or elsewhere in this Indenture shall prevent (i) the Company, except under the conditions described in Sections 10.2 and 10.3, from making payments at any time for the purpose of making payments of principal of and interest

95

on the Obligations, or from depositing with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, any monies for such payments, or (ii) in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee or any Paying Agent that a given payment would be prohibited by Section 10.2 or 10.3, the application by the Trustee and any Paying Agent of any monies deposited with them for the purpose of making such payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations to the Holders entitled thereto unless at least one Business Day prior to the date upon which such payment would otherwise become due and payable Trustee and any Paying Agent shall have actually received the written notice provided for in the first sentence of Section 10.2(b) (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders receiving any payments made in contravention of Section 10.2 and/or 10.3 (and the respective such payments) shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of Section 10.2 and Section 10.3). The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and any Paying Agent of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, although any delay or failure to give any such notice shall have no effect on the subordination provisions contained herein.

SECTION 10.5          Holders To Be Subrogated to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.

Subject to the payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Debt, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Debt until the Obligations shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt by or on behalf of the Company, or by or on behalf of the Holders by virtue of this Article X, which otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall, as between the Company and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Article X are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt, on the other hand.

SECTION 10.6          Obligations of the Company Unconditional.

Nothing contained in this Article X or elsewhere in this Indenture is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of and any interest on the Obligations 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 other than the holders of the Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder or the Trustee on its behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article X, of the holders of Senior Debt

96

in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

SECTION 10.7          Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article X, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article VII hereof, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or similar case or proceeding is pending, or upon a certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article X.

SECTION 10.8         Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of the Company or
Holders of Senior Debt.

No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article X or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of the Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.

97

SECTION 10.9          Holders Authorize Trustee To Effectuate Subordination of Obligations.

Each Holder authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, the subordination provided in this Article X, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of credits or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets of the Company, the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its Obligations and accrued interest in the form required in those proceedings.

If the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of the Senior Debt or their Representative are or is hereby authorized to have the right to file and are or is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 10.10        Amendments or Modifications to Article X.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, no amendment or modification to any provision of this Article X or the related definitions used herein (other than to cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake or inconsistency herein, so long as such amendment or modification does not adversely affect the rights of the holders of any Senior Debt then outstanding) shall be permitted without the consent of the “Required Lenders,” as such term is used in the Senior Credit Facility.

SECTION 10.11        Article X Not to Prevent Events of Default.

The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or interest on the securities by reason of any provision of this Article X shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.1.

98

SECTION 10.12        No Fiduciary Duty of Trustee to Holders of Senior Debt.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders of Notes or the Company or any other Person, cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article X or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 10.12 shall affect the obligation of any other such Person to hold such payment for the benefit of, and to pay such payment over to, the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative.

ARTICLE XI

GUARANTEE

SECTION 11.1          Unconditional Guarantee.

Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees (each such guarantee to be referred to herein as a “Guarantee”), subject to Article XII, to each of the Holders and to the Trustee and their respective successors and assigns that (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any interest, if any, to the extent lawful, of the Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Notes or of any such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set forth in Section 11.5. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any of the Holders with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a 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 this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and in this Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any

Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of this Guarantee, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

SECTION 11.2          Subordination of Guarantee.

The obligations of each Guarantor to the Holders and to the Trustee pursuant to the Guarantee of such Guarantor and this Indenture are expressly subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Guarantor Senior Debt of such Guarantor, to the extent and in the manner provided in Article XII.

SECTION 11.3          Severability.

In case any provision of this 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 11.4          Release of a Guarantor.

Upon (i) the release by the lenders under the Senior Credit Facility and related documents of all guarantees of a Guarantor and all Liens on the property and assets of such Guarantor relating to such Indebtedness, (ii) the unconditional release of a Guarantor from its liability in respect of the Indebtedness in connection with which such Guarantee was executed and delivered in accordance with the first paragraph of Section 4.17, (iii) any sale or other disposition (by merger or otherwise) to any Person which is not a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of all of the Company’s Capital Stock in, or all or substantially all of the assets of, a Guarantor; provided that (a) such sale or disposition of such Capital Stock or assets is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture and (b) such assumption, guarantee or other liability of such Guarantor has been released by the holders of the other Indebtedness of the Company so guaranteed, (iv) the Legal Defeasance of the Notes as described under Section 8.2, or (v) a Guarantor being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary as described under the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” such Guarantor shall be deemed released from all obligations under this Article XI without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder; provided that any such termination shall occur only to the extent that all obligations of such Guarantor under all of its guarantees of, and under all of its pledges of

100

assets or other security interests which secure, such Indebtedness of the Company shall also terminate upon such release, sale or transfer.

The Trustee shall promptly deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to the compliance with this Section 11.4. Any Guarantor not so released remains liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes as provided in this Article XI.

SECTION 11.5          Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability.

Each Guarantor and by its acceptance hereof each of the Holders hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (including, but not limited to, the Guarantor Senior Debt of such Guarantor) and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to Section 11.7, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 11.6          Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets.

Upon any consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance of a Guarantor as permitted by Article V, the Guarantee of such Guarantor set forth in this Article XI, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by such Guarantor, shall be expressly assumed (in the event that the Company, the Guarantor or another Guarantor is not the surviving corporation in the merger), by an agreement or supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee, by the corporation formed by such consolidation, or into which the Guarantor shall have merged, or by the corporation that shall have acquired such property. In the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by an agreement or supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee of the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor.

101

SECTION 11.7          Contribution.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under its Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to the Obligations. “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of (x) the amount by which the fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date (other than liabilities of such Guarantor under Subordinated Obligation)), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee, of such Guarantor at such date and (y) the amount by which the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Guarantor on its debts including, without limitation, Guarantor Senior Debt (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any Subsidiary of such Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Subsidiary under the Guarantee), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.

SECTION 11.8          Waiver of Subrogation.

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. 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 be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders, and shall, subject to the provisions of Article X, Section 11.2 and Article XII, 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 the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by

102

this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.8 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 11.9          Evidence of Guarantee.

To evidence their guarantees to the Holders set forth in this Article XI, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees to execute the notation of Guarantee in substantially the form included in Exhibit E. Each such notation of Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by an Officer or an assistant Secretary.

SECTION 11.10        Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws.

Each Guarantor covenants that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive such Guarantor from performing its Guarantee as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE XII

SUBORDINATION OF GUARANTEE OBLIGATIONS

SECTION 12.1         Guarantee Obligations Subordinated to Guarantor Senior Debt.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Guarantors, for itself and its successors, and each Holder by his acceptance of Notes agrees that the payment of all Guarantee Obligations of such Guarantor are subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article XII, to the prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, of all Guarantor Senior Debt Obligations of such Guarantor (including Guarantor Senior Debt Obligations with respect to the Senior Credit Facility, whether outstanding on the Issue Date or thereafter incurred).

This Article XII shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who become holders of, or continue to hold, Guarantor Senior Debt, and such provisions are made for the

103

benefit of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt and such holders are made obligees hereunder and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions.

SECTION 12.2          Suspension of Guarantee Obligations When Guarantor Senior Debt Is in Default.

(a)       If any default occurs and is continuing in the payment when due, whether at maturity, upon any redemption, by declaration or otherwise, of any principal of, interest on, unpaid drawings for letters of credit issued in respect of, or regularly accruing fees with respect to, any Guarantor Senior Debt (including, without limitation, guarantees of the foregoing items which constitute Guarantor Senior Debt), then no payment or distribution of any kind or character shall be made by or on behalf of such Guarantor or any other Person on its or their behalf with respect to any Guarantee Obligations or to acquire any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise until such Payment Default (and all other Payment Defaults) shall have been cured or waived in accordance with the terms of the documentation governing the respective Guarantor Senior Debt or ceased to exist or all Guarantor Senior Debt with respect to which any Payment Default has occurred and is continuing shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents.

(b)       During any Payment Blockage Period (as determined in accordance with Section 10.2(b), including the limitations set forth therein), neither any Guarantor nor any other Person on any Guarantor’s behalf shall (i) make any payment of any kind or character with respect to any Guarantee Obligations or (ii) acquire any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise.

(c)       In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Holder when such payment is prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.2, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Guarantor Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, as their respective interests may appear. The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on information regarding amounts then due and owing on the Guarantor Senior Debt, if any, received from the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (or their Representatives) or, if such information is not received from such holders or their Representatives, from a Guarantor and only amounts included in the information provided to the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be paid to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

104

(a)       Upon any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any total or partial liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of assets of such Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding relating to such Guarantor or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary, all Guarantor Senior Debt Obligations due or to become due shall first be paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, or such payment duly provided for to the satisfaction of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, before the Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character on account of any Guarantee Obligations or for the acquisition of any of the Notes for cash or property or otherwise. Upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding, any payment or distribution of assets of such Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled, except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid by such Guarantor or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by the Holders or by the Trustee if received by them, directly to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Guarantor Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Guarantor Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Guarantor Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all such Guarantor Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

(b)       To the extent any payment of Guarantor Senior Debt (whether by or on behalf of a Guarantor, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then, if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person, the Guarantor Senior Debt or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.

It is further agreed that any diminution (whether pursuant to court decree or otherwise, including without limitation for any of the reasons described in the preceding sentence) of any Guarantor’s obligation to make any distribution or payment pursuant to any

105

Guarantor Senior Debt, except to the extent such diminution occurs by reason of the repayment (which has not been disgorged or returned) of such Guarantor Senior Debt in cash or Cash Equivalents, shall have no force or effect for purposes of the subordination provisions contained in this Article XII, with any turnover of payments as otherwise calculated pursuant to this Article XII to be made as if no such diminution had occurred.

(c)       In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of any Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any Holder when such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Section 12.3, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amount of Guarantor Senior Debt held by such holders) or their respective Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Guarantor Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of Guarantor Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all such Guarantor Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or Cash Equivalents, after giving effect to any concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt.

(d)       The consolidation of any Guarantor with, or the merger of any Guarantor with or into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of a Guarantor following the conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided in Article V and as long as permitted under the terms of the Guarantor Senior Debt shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, assume the Guarantee of such Guarantor hereunder in accordance with Article V.

SECTION 12.4          Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution.

Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture shall prevent (i) any Guarantor, except under the conditions described in Sections 12.2 and 12.3, from making payments at any time for the purpose of making payments on Guarantee Obligations, or from depositing with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, any monies for such payments, or (ii) in the absence of actual knowledge by the Trustee or any Paying Agent that a given payment would be prohibited by Section 12.2 or 12.3, the application by the Trustee and any Paying Agent of any monies deposited with them for the purpose of making such payments on Guarantee Obligations to the Holders entitled thereto unless at least one Business Day prior to the date upon which such payment would otherwise become due and payable the Trustee and any Paying Agent shall have actually received the written notice provided for in the first sentence of Section 10.2(b) (provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders

106

receiving any payments made in contravention of Sections 12.2 and/or 12.3 (and the respective such payments) shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of Section 12.2 and Section 12.3). Each Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and any Paying Agent of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of such Guarantor, although any delay or failure to give any such notice shall have no effect on the subordination provisions contained herein.

SECTION 12.5          Holders To Be Subrogated to Rights of Lenders of Guarantor Senior Debt.

Subject to the payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guarantor Senior Debt, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt of such Guarantor to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of such Guarantor applicable to such Guarantor Senior Debt until all amounts owing on or in respect of the Guarantee Obligations shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no such payments or distributions to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Debt by or on behalf of such Guarantor, or by or on behalf of the Holders by virtue of this Article XII, which otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall, as between such Guarantor and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by such Guarantor to or on account of such Guarantor Senior Debt, it being understood that the provisions of this Article XII are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, on the other hand.

SECTION 12.6          Guarantee Obligations of the Guarantors Unconditional.

Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Guarantees is intended to or shall impair, as among the Guarantors, their creditors other than the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, and the Holders, the obligation of the Guarantors, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders all amounts due and payable under the Guarantees 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 Guarantors other than the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent any Holder or the Trustee on its behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII of the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the Guarantors received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

SECTION 12.7          Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of a Guarantor referred to in this Article XIII, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Article VII hereof, and the Holders shall

107

be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or similar case or proceeding is pending, or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XII.

No right of any present or future holders of any Guarantor Senior Debt to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by any Guarantor with the terms of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee, without incurring responsibility to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article XII or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Guarantor Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Guarantor Senior Debt, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Guarantor Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Guarantor Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Guarantor Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Guarantors and any other Person.

SECTION 12.9          Holders Authorize Trustee To Effectuate Subordination of Guarantee Obligations.

Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Guarantee Obligations, authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt and the Holders, the subordination provided in this Article XII, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of any Guarantor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,

108

reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of credits or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets of any Guarantor, the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance under its Guarantee Obligations and accrued interest in the form required in those proceedings.

If the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of the Guarantor Senior Debt or their Representative are or is hereby authorized to have the right to file and are or is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt or their Representative to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Guarantee Obligations or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt or their Representative to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 12.10        This Article XII Not To Prevent Events of Default.

The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or interest on the Guarantee Obligations by reason of any provision of this Article XII will not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.

SECTION 12.11        Amendments or Modifications to Article XII.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, no amendment or modification to any provision of this Article XII or the related definitions used herein (other than to cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake or inconsistency herein, so long as such amendment or modification does not adversely affect the rights of the holders of any Guarantor Senior Debt then outstanding) shall be permitted without the consent of the “Required Lenders,” as such term is used in the Senior Credit Facility.

SECTION 12.12        No Fiduciary Duty of Trustee to Holders of Senior Debt.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders of Notes or the Company or any other Person, cash, property or securities to which any holders of Guarantor Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 12.12 shall affect the obligation of any other such Person to hold such payment for the benefit of, and to pay such payment over to, the holders of Guarantor Senior Debt or their Representative.

109
