(2) if since the beginning of such period, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any Asset Disposition, the Cash Flow for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Cash Flow (if positive) directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Asset Disposition for such period, or increased by an amount equal to the Cash Flow (if negative), directly attributable thereto for such period, and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with respect to the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Asset Dispositions for such period (or, if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Company and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such sale);

The Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company may reasonably deem appropriate and as may be required to comply with any law, with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto, with any rules of any securities exchange, automated quotation system or clearing agency or to conform to usage, as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officer executing the Notes, as evidenced by such officer’s execution of the Notes. Each Note under this Indenture will be offered and sold in accordance with the Appendix and in reliance on Rule 144A or Regulation S, as indicated by the legend on the Notes.

SECTION 2.02. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. Subject to Section 6.15, the Certificate of Authentication will be in the form included on Exhibit A.

SECTION 2.03. Notes in Global Form. Notes issued in global form shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. If any Note is issuable in global form, such Note may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Note in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee and in such manner as shall be specified in such Note. Any instructions by the Company with respect to a Note in global form, after its initial issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 1.02.

SECTION 2.04. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN or other identifying numbers (“Identifying Numbers”) and, if so, the Trustee shall use such Identifying Numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such Identifying Numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identifying numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, of any change in the Identifying Numbers.

ARTICLE III

The Notes

SECTION 3.01. Title; Payment and Terms. The Trustee shall authenticate Notes to be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date in an aggregate amount equal to $600,000,000 (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 3.05, 3.06, 9.05, 10.15, 10.16 or 11.07). The Trustee shall authenticate Additional Notes thereafter in unlimited amount

for original issue upon a written order of the Company in the form of an Officer’s Certificate in aggregate principal amount as specified in such order (so long as permitted by this Indenture, including Section 10.13). Any such Officer’s Certificate shall also specify the date on which the original issue of Notes is to be authenticated and shall certify that such issuance will not be prohibited by Section 10.13.

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate any Additional Notes, nor will it be liable for its refusal to authenticate any Additional Notes, if the issue of such Additional Notes will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Notes and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or may expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders or others.

SECTION 3.02. [Reserved]

SECTION 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, a Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, Chief Executive Officer or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.

Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee, in accordance with the Company Order, shall authenticate and deliver such Notes.

Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein manually or electronically executed by the Trustee or on its behalf pursuant to Section 6.15, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such Trustee, or any successor Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Notes.

Each Depositary for a Global Note in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation.

The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to existing Holders.

SECTION 3.04. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officer executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by the execution of the temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes will be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose pursuant to Section 10.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any temporary Notes the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Any temporary Notes so exchanged will be cancelled by the Trustee. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes will be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

SECTION 3.05. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.

The Notes shall be transferable only in compliance with the Appendix. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations, and of a like Stated Maturity and aggregate principal amount and with like terms and conditions.

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

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 9.05 and 11.07 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue or register the transfer of or exchange of Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption under Section 11.04 and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption

and (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption as a whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.05, the Company will not be required to exchange any Notes if, as a result of the exchange, the Company would suffer adverse consequences under any law or regulation.

SECTION 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and such Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or such Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note or in exchange for such mutilated Note, a new Note in a like principal amount and of a like Stated Maturity and with like terms and conditions.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of any of them of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and the ownership thereof.

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

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

SECTION 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so provided in such Note, be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment.

Unless otherwise provided with respect to the Notes, payment of interest may be made at the Corporate Trust Office or, at the option of the Company, may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder of $5,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes in definitive form, whether having identical or different terms and provisions, having the same Interest Payment Dates will, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments, other than at Maturity, by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee for the Notes at least 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Any wire instructions received by

the Trustee for the Notes shall remain in effect until revoked by the Holder. Notwithstanding the forgoing, payment of interest in respect of Notes represented by Global Notes should be made in accordance with procedures required by the Depositary.

Every permanent Global Note will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to each of Euroclear and Clearstream Banking with respect to that portion of such permanent Global Note held for its account by the Depositary. Each of Euroclear and Clearstream Banking will in such circumstances credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent Global Note to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with such Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to such Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon such Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not be more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by such Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. Such Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice is given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed manner of payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.05, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

SECTION 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

SECTION 3.09. Cancelation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or delivered in satisfaction of any sinking fund payment, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancelation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its standard procedures and a certificate of disposition evidencing such disposition of Notes shall be provided to the Company by the Trustee upon the written request of the Company. Permanent Global Notes shall not be disposed of until exchanged in full for definitive Notes or until payment thereon is made in full.

SECTION 3.10. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of 12 30-day months.

SECTION 3.11. Ranking. The Notes shall constitute the senior indebtedness of the Company and shall rank pari passu in right of payment among themselves and with all of the other existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company.

SECTION 3.12. Issuance of Additional Notes. The Company shall be entitled to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have substantially identical terms as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto, if any. The Initial Notes issued on the date of this Indenture and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture. In the event that any of the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will be issued with a separate CUSIP, ISIN or other Identifying Number so that they are distinguishable from the Initial Notes.

With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:

(1) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Notes;

(2) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;

(3) the issue price and the issue date of such Additional Notes and the amount of interest payable on the first payment date applicable thereto; and

(4) the “CUSIP” or “ISIN” number of such Additional Notes.

All references to the Initial Notes shall be deemed to include any Additional Notes actually issued.

ARTICLE IV

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance; Satisfaction and Discharge

SECTION 4.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution, set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, at any time, with respect to the Notes, elect to have Section 4.02 be applied to all of the Outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article IV.

SECTION 4.02. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have its obligations discharged with respect to the Notes and this Indenture (“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Notes, except for:

(a) the rights of Holders of the Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust fund referred to below;

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

(d) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee under Article VII and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(e) the provisions of Article VI.

In addition, the Company at its option at any time may terminate its obligations under Sections 10.01, 10.02, 10.04, 10.05, 10.08 and 10.10 through 10.20 (other than with respect to the Company as described under Article VIII) (and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes), and the limitations contained in Section 8.01(c) (“Covenant Defeasance”). In the event that a Covenant Defeasance occurs, the events (not including non-payment and bankruptcy and insolvency events with respect to the Company) described under Section 5.01 will no longer constitute Events of Default with respect to the Notes.

The Company may exercise its Legal Defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its Covenant Defeasance option. If the Company exercises its Legal Defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto.

SECTION 4.03. [Reserved]

SECTION 4.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(a) the Company must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be irrevocably deposited, with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the report of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or a nationally recognized investment banking firm, to pay and discharge the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the applicable redemption or maturity date, as the case may be; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee on or prior to the redemption date; provided, further, that any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;

(b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that:

(i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel (which may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) shall confirm that, the Holders and the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal

income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders and the beneficial owners of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of 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 is a party or by which the Company is bound;

(f) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s 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 Officer’s 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) no event or condition shall exist that would prevent the Company from making payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes on the date of such deposit on the date of such deposit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 4.04(b) with respect to a Legal Defeasance need not be delivered if all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable or (2) will become due and payable on the maturity date within one year for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company.

If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when due, then the obligations of the Company under this Indenture will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.

SECTION 4.05. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture will be discharged with respect to the Notes and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving

rights of transfer or exchange of such Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) solely as to all Notes under this Indenture when with respect to such Notes:

(a) either:

(i) all Notes previously authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable whether on the Stated Maturity or on a Redemption Date by reasons of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, (ii) will become due and payable at the Stated Maturity within one year or (iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, 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; provided that the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the Stated Maturity or such Redemption Date together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(b) the Company has paid all other sums payable with respect to the Notes under this Indenture by the Company; and

(c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes have been complied with;

provided that, upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to be deposited with the Trustee or an agent of the Trustee on or prior to the redemption date; provided, further, that any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee under Section 4.05(a)(ii), the obligations of the Trustee under

Section 4.08 and Section 6.06 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge, in each case, with respect to the Notes.

SECTION 4.06. Survival of Certain Obligations. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and of the Notes referred to in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.04, or 4.05, the respective obligations of the Company and the Trustee for the Notes under Sections 3.03, 3.05, 3.09, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, and 5.08, Article VI, and Sections 7.01, 7.02, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04 and 10.05, shall survive with respect to Notes until the Notes are no longer outstanding, and thereafter the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, and 4.10 shall survive. Nothing contained in this Article IV shall abrogate any of the obligations or duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.

SECTION 4.07. Acknowledgment of Discharge by Trustee. Subject to Section 4.10, after (i) the conditions of Section 4.04 or 4.05 have been satisfied, (ii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company and (iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent referred to in clause (i) above relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee upon written request shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of all of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified in this Article IV.

SECTION 4.08. Application of Trust Moneys. All money and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04 or 4.05 in respect of the Notes shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of the Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.04 or 4.05 with respect to the Notes 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 outstanding Notes.

SECTION 4.09. Repayment to the Company; Unclaimed Money. The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall promptly pay or return to the Company upon Company Order any cash or Government Obligations held by them at any time that are not required for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Notes of that series for which cash or Government Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 4.04 or 4.05.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, has become due and payable shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be paid to the Company on Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trusts; and the Holder of the Note shall, thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of such Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment may give written notice to the Holder of such Note in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company, as the case may be.

SECTION 4.10. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or Government Obligations, as applicable, in accordance with Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05 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 Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash or Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.02, 4.04 or 4.05; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on 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 cash or Government Obligations, as applicable, held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

(e) the failure by the Company to comply for 60 days after notice with its other covenants, obligations, warranties or agreements contained in this Indenture;

(f) Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is not paid within any applicable grace period after final maturity or is accelerated by the holders thereof because of a default and the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $60.0 million;

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

(i) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

(ii) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy Law;

(iii) consents to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

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

(h) any judgment or decree for the payment of money, the portion of which is not covered by insurance is in excess of $60.0 million, which is rendered against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary and is not discharged and either (A) an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree or (B) there is a period of 60 days following such judgment during which such judgment or decree is not discharged, waived or the execution thereof stayed (including pending appeal); or

(i) any Subsidiary Guarantee by a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect or becomes unenforceable or invalid or is declared null and void (other than in accordance with the terms of the Subsidiary Guarantee or this Indenture) or any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations

under its Subsidiary Guarantee.

However, a default under Section 5.01(d), (e) and (h) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes notify the Company of the default and the Company does not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.

If an Event of Default (other than the bankruptcy provisions relating to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the notes to be due and payable; provided, however, that no such declaration may occur with respect to any action taken, and publicly reported or reported to Holders, more than two years prior to such declaration. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.

Any notice of Default, notice of continuing Event of Default, notice of acceleration or instruction to the Trustee to provide a notice of Default, notice of continuing Event of Default, notice of acceleration or take any other action (a “Noteholder Direction”) provided by any one or more holders (each a “Directing Holder”) must be accompanied by a written representation from each Directing Holder to the Company and the Trustee that such Directing Holder is not (or, in the case such Directing Holder is DTC or its nominee, that such Directing Holder is being instructed solely by beneficial owners that have represented to such Holder that they are not) Net Short (a “Position Representation”), which Position Representation, in the case of a Noteholder Direction relating to a notice of Default shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or the Notes are accelerated. In addition, each Directing Holder must, at the time of providing a Noteholder Direction, covenant to provide the Company with such other information as the Company may reasonably request from time to time in order to verify the accuracy of such holder’s Position Representation within five Business Days of request therefor (a “Verification Covenant”). In any case in which the Directing Holder is DTC or its nominee, any Position Representation or Verification Covenant required hereunder shall be provided by the beneficial owner of the Notes in lieu of DTC or its nominee.

If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to the acceleration of the notes, the Company determines in good faith that there is a reasonable basis to believe a Directing Holder providing such Noteholder Direction was, at any relevant time, in breach of its Position Representation and provides to the Trustee evidence that the Company has filed papers with a court of competent jurisdiction seeking a determination that such Directing Holder was, at such time, in breach of its Position Representation, and seeking to invalidate any Default or Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending a final and non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction on such matter. If, following the delivery of a Noteholder Direction, but prior to acceleration of the Notes, the Company provides to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that a Directing Holder failed to satisfy its Verification Covenant, the cure period with respect to such Default shall be automatically stayed and the cure period with respect to such Event of Default that resulted from the applicable Noteholder Direction shall be automatically reinstituted and any remedy stayed pending

satisfaction of such Verification Covenant. Any breach of the Position Representation shall result in such Directing Holder’s participation in such Noteholder Direction being disregarded; and, if, without the participation of such Directing Holder, the percentage of Notes held by the remaining Directing Holders that provided such Noteholder Direction would have been insufficient to validly provide such Noteholder Direction, such Noteholder Direction shall be void ab initio, with the effect that such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed never to have occurred.

Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two paragraphs to the contrary, any Noteholder Direction delivered to the Trustee during the pendency of an Event of Default as the result of a bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall not require compliance with the foregoing paragraphs.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any Noteholder Direction delivered to it in accordance with this Indenture, shall have no duty to inquire as to or investigate the accuracy of any Position Representation, enforce compliance with any Verification Covenant, verify any statements in any Officer’s Certificate delivered to it, or otherwise make calculations, investigations or determinations with respect to Derivative Instruments, Net Shorts, Long Derivative Instruments, Short Derivative Instruments or otherwise. The Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility to the Company, any holder or any other Person in connection with any Noteholder Direction or to determine whether or not any holder has delivered a Position Representation or that such Position Representation conforms with this Indenture or any other agreement.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(f), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (including, without limitation, the declaration of acceleration of the notes) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the trustee or the holders of the notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, default, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default or acceleration that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after knowledge of the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any Event of Default under Section 5.01(f) or (h) and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under Section 5.01(d), (e) or (i), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 5.02. Acceleration of Maturity. (a) If an Event of Default (other than specified in Section 5.01(g) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may declare the

principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.

(b) If an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(g) relating to the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal of and interest on the Notes will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as set forth in Section 5.02(a), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes under this Indenture may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

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

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

(iii) 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; and

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

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

SECTION 5.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if:

(a) default is made in the payment of any interest upon any Notes when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days; or

(b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Note at its Maturity;

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal (and premium if any) and interest, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate borne by such Notes; and, in addition thereto, 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 and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding against the Company for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such

proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION 5.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relating to the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of any Note shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and to file such 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 all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07) and of the Holders of Notes allowed in such judicial proceeding;

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and

(c) any receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Notes 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 Holders of Notes, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Note any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee for the Notes to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other person performing similar functions.

SECTION 5.05. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by

the Trustee for the Notes without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, 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 and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

SECTION 5.06. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article V shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, upon presentation of the Notes, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due such Trustee under Section 6.07;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Notes for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, respectively; and

THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Company.

SECTION 5.07. Limitation on Suits. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(b) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

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

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

SECTION 5.08. Unconditional Right of Holders To Receive Principal (and Premium, If Any) and Interest, If Any. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any,

on such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a Note has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, 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 right and 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 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default with respect to the Notes 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 V 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 such Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with respect to the Notes or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes, provided that:

(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law, regulation or fiscal requirements, court order, or the rules, operating procedures or market practice of any relevant stock exchange or other market or clearing system or with this Indenture and could not involve the Trustee in personal liability; and

(b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction or which the Trustee regards as necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or fiscal requirements, court order, or the rules, operating procedures or market practice of any relevant stock exchange or other market or clearing system.

SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 5.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except:

(a) a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Notes; or

(b) a default with respect to a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee for the Notes, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Note for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Notes on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) 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 the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes 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 (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Company 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.

SECTION 6.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

(b) a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under the laws of a foreign government that is permitted to act as Trustee pursuant to a rule, regulation, or other order of the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or examination applicable to United States institutional trustee, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under the common control of the Company shall serve as Trustee. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereunder specified in this Article VI.

SECTION 6.11. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this

Article VI shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.12.

(b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.12 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. The costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee in connection with such petition shall be paid by the Company.

(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to such Trustee and to the Company.

(d) If at any time:

(i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (x) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee or (y) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any reason, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.12. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall have not been appointed by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.11, then a successor Trustee may be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.12, and if such Trustee to be replaced is still incapable of acting, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note for at least six months, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, or the retiring Trustee, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

SECTION 6.12. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. (a) Every such successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company

and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in Subsection (a) of this Section, as the case may be.

(c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article VI.

SECTION 6.13. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such entity shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee or Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Notes.

SECTION 6.14. [Reserved]

SECTION 6.15. Authenticating Agents. At any time when any of the Notes remain Outstanding, the Trustee may, subject to its sole discretion, appoint one or more Authenticating Agents, which may include the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, with power to act on the Trustee’s behalf and subject to its discretion in the authentication and delivery of Notes in connection with transfers and exchanges under Sections 3.05 and 11.07 as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections of this Indenture to authenticate and deliver Notes. For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Notes by an Authenticating Agent for such Notes pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee”. Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by U.S. federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined

capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

Any Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company in the manner set forth in Section 1.05. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.06. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

If an appointment with respect to the Notes is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certification of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

such provision reflects a verbatim recitation of a provision of such “Description of Notes”;

(i) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the Notes; provided, however, that any such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes in any material respect;

(j) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, as Trustee, and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts under this Indenture by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements thereunder;

(q) to provide for a reduction in the minimum denominations of the Notes; or

(r) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of the Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended may not result in the Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities laws and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes.

SECTION 9.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, this Indenture may be amended with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding voting as a single class (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes) and, subject to Sections 5.08 and 5.13, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture may also be waived with the consent of the

Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding voting as a single class (which consents may be obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes).

(i) make any change in any Subsidiary Guarantee that would adversely affect the Holders in any material respect.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no amendment to, or deletion of, any of the covenants set forth in Sections 10.10 through 10.20 shall be deemed to impair or affect any rights of Holders of Notes to receive payment of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes on or after the due dates therefor

After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective, the Company is required to send electronically or mail to Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment.

In determining whether any Restricted Payment is permitted by this Section 10.10, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may allocate all or any portion of such Restricted Payment among the categories described in Section 10.10(b)(i) through (b)(xvii) or among such categories and the types of Restricted Payments described in Section 10.10(a) (including categorization in whole or in part as a Permitted Investment); provided that, at the time of such allocation, all such Restricted Payments, or allocated portions thereof, would be permitted under the various provisions of this Section 10.10 and provided further that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may, consistent with the terms of this Section 10.10, reclassify all or a portion of such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in any manner that complies with this Section 10.10 (based on circumstances existing at the time of such reclassification), and following such reclassification such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment shall be treated as having been made pursuant to only this Section 10.10 to which such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment has been reclassified. For purposes of determining when a Restricted Payment is made in respect of a keepwell or other comfort letter arrangement or agreement by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary for the benefit of an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed made at such time as the amount of the obligation of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is quantifiable.

SECTION 10.11. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock or

(a) the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument as in effect on the Issue Date, and any amendments, restatements, renewals, replacements or refinancings thereof; provided, however, that such amendments, restatements, renewals, replacements or refinancings are no more materially restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in the Credit Agreement or such agreement (or, if more restrictive, than those contained in this Indenture) immediately prior to any such amendment, restatement, renewal, replacement or refinancing;

(b) applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order;

(c) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of an Acquired Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition); provided, however, that such restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Acquired Person;

(d) by reason of customary non-assignment provisions in leases or other agreements entered into the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices;

(e) Finance Lease Obligations and Purchase Money Indebtedness that only impose restrictions on the property so acquired;

(f) an agreement for the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such restriction is only applicable to such Restricted Subsidiary or assets, as applicable, and such sale or disposition otherwise is permitted under Section 10.16;

(g) Refinancing Indebtedness permitted under this Indenture; provided, however, that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Refinancing Indebtedness are no more materially restrictive in the aggregate than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced immediately prior to such refinancing;

(i) any encumbrance or restriction of (A) a Receivables Subsidiary effected in

(j) any Restricted Payment not prohibited by Section 10.10 and any Permitted Investment;

(k) Indebtedness secured by a Lien otherwise permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 10.13 and Section 10.17 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

(l) any agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date by Section 10.13 (A) if the encumbrance and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the holders of the Notes than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in this Indenture or the Credit Agreement in effect as of the Issue Date (as determined in good faith by the Company) or (B) the Company determines that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Company’s ability to make principal and interest payments on the Notes as and when they become due or (C) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or a financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness;

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither (a) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease entered into in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practice, nor (b) Liens permitted under this Indenture, shall in and of themselves be considered a restriction on the ability of the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to transfer such agreements or assets, as the case may be.

SECTION 10.12. Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into any transaction or series of similar transactions involving an amount in excess of $15.0 million (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any asset or property or the

rendering of any service) with any Affiliate of the Company (other than any employee stock ownership plan for the benefit of the Company’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s employees) unless the terms of such business, transaction or series of transactions are:

(i) not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary taken as a whole than terms that would be obtainable at the time for a comparable transaction or series of similar transactions in arms length dealings with an unrelated third Person; and

(ii) if such business, transaction or series of similar transactions involves an amount in excess of $50.0 million, the terms of such business, transaction or series of similar transactions shall be in writing and a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors shall have, by resolution, determined in good faith that such business or transaction or series of transactions meets the criteria set forth in (i) above.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 10.13, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of permitted Indebtedness set forth in Section 10.13(b)(i) through (b)(xxvi) or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to Section 10.13(a), the Company, in its sole discretion, will be entitled to classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this Section 10.13; provided, however, that all Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to Section 10.13(b)(i) and the Company shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date. The Company shall be required to include the amount and type of any Indebtedness or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in one or more of clauses (i) through (xxvi) of Section 10.13(b). At the time of Incurrence, the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 10.13(a) and (b) without giving pro forma effect to the Incurrence on the same date of any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 10.13(b) when calculating the amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to Section 10.13(a). To the extent any item of Indebtedness that is Guaranteed or secured by a Lien is reclassified, each of the Incurrence of the Indebtedness upon reclassification, the Incurrence of the Guarantee of such Indebtedness upon reclassification and the Incurrence of the Lien upon reclassification must be permitted under this Indenture in order for the Company to make such reclassification.

(e) For purposes of determining amounts of Indebtedness under Section 10.13, Indebtedness resulting from security interests granted with respect to Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of Indebtedness, and Guarantees (and security interests with respect thereof) of, or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting, Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of Indebtedness.

(g) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 10.13, the Incurrence of Indebtedness with respect to keepwell or other comfort letter arrangements or agreements given by the Company for the benefit of Unrestricted Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness at such time as the amount of the obligation of the Company thereunder is quantifiable.

(h) The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 10.13.

100

(i) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or incurred (whichever yields the lowest U.S. dollar-equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased. The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance.

SECTION 10.14. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property unless: (1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to (A) other than during the continuance of a Suspension Period, Incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 10.13 and (B) create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 10.17; provided, however, that whether or not the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary could create such a Lien as set forth in Section 10.14(1)(B), and in addition to any Permitted Liens, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be entitled to create Liens to secure Attributable Debt in respect of Sale/Leaseback Transactions in an aggregate principal amount at any one given time outstanding that does not exceed 2.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets as of the date of such Incurrence without equally and ratably securing the Notes; (2) the gross proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value of such property; and (3) to the extent that such Sale/Leaseback Transaction involves an Asset Disposition, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 10.16.

SECTION 10.15. Change of Control. (a) Upon a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date).

101

(b) Not later than 15 Business Days following any Change of Control, except to the extent we have elected to redeem the Notes as described under Section 11.08, the Company shall send electronically or by mail a notice to the Trustee and each Holder (or otherwise provide notice to each Holder in accordance with the procedures of DTC, with a copy to the Trustee) stating:

(i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date);

(ii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control;

(iii) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, except in the case of a conditional Change of Control offer made in advance of a Change of Control as described below);

(iv) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and

(v) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 10.15, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

(c) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time two Business Days prior to the date required for participation, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased.

(d) On the purchase date, all Notes purchased by the Company under this Section 10.15 shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall pay or cause to be paid the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto.

(e) At the time the Company delivers Notes to the Trustee which are to be accepted for purchase, the Company shall also deliver an Officer’s Certificate, upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely, stating that such Notes are to be accepted by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.15. A Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Trustee, directly or through an agent, mails or delivers payment therefor to the surrendering Holder.

102

(f) The Company shall comply in all material respects, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 10.15. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 10.15, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 10.15 by virtue of the Company’s compliance thereof.

(g) The Company may make a Change of Control offer in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of the making of the Change of Control offer and the Change of Control payment date may be extended automatically until such Change of Control occurs.

(h) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control offer following a Change of Control if (1) a third party (including any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries) makes the Change of Control offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control offer, or (2) a notice of redemption has previously been given for all of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture as described above under Section 11.08 unless and until there is a default in the payment of the applicable redemption price.

SECTION 10.16. Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any Asset Disposition unless:

(i) The Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value, as determined in good faith by the Company (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition and at least 75% of the consideration thereof received, together with all other Asset Dispositions since the Existing Notes Issue Date (on a cumulative basis), by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided, however, that in the case of an Asset Disposition (x) involving the disposition of non-core assets (as determined by the Company in its good faith judgment) acquired as part of any acquisition after the Issue Date or (y) for aggregate consideration of less than $100.0 million, only 50% of the consideration therefor must be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided further that:

(A) any promissory notes, securities or other obligations or amounts received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 360 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received) shall be deemed to be cash solely for purposes of this Section 10.16(a)(i), and

(B) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate

103

Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 10.16(a)(i)(B) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $150.0 million and (y) 6.0% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) shall be deemed to be cash solely for purposes of this Section 10.16(a)(i);

(ii) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be), at its option except as described below:

(A) (x) to the extent the Company elects (or is required by the terms of any Senior Indebtedness or any Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary), to prepay, repay or purchase Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary of the Company within 365 days of such Asset Disposition, (y) at the Company’s election to the investment by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in assets to replace the assets that were the subject of such Asset Disposition or assets that (as determined in good faith by the Company) are directly related to the business of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries existing on the Issue Date, in each case within 365 days from the date of such Asset Disposition, or (z) a combination of the foregoing purposes within such 365-day period;

(B) to make a pro rata offer to purchase Notes at par (and, to the extent required by the instrument governing such Indebtedness, any other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of a non-Guarantor Subsidiary designated by the Company, at a price no greater than par) plus accrued and unpaid interest, which offer can be made at the Company’s election at any time during the 365-day period set forth in Section 10.16(a)(ii)(A) or within 10 Business Days after such period, and

(C) to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with Sections 10.16(a)(ii)(A) and 10.16(a)(ii)(B), for general corporate purposes otherwise permitted under this Indenture;

provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment, repayment or purchase of Indebtedness pursuant to Sections 10.16(a)(ii)(A) and 10.16(a)(ii)(B), the Company or such Subsidiary shall retire such Indebtedness and cause the related loan commitment (if any) to be permanently reduced in an amount equal to the principal amount so prepaid, repaid or purchased.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.16, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash in accordance with this Section 10.16 except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset

104

Dispositions (including any Asset Dispositions made since the Issue Date) which are not applied in accordance with this Section 10.16 exceeds $50.0 million.

For the purposes of this Section 10.16, the following is deemed to be cash or Cash Equivalents: the express assumption of Indebtedness (other than any Indebtedness that is by its terms subordinated to the Notes or to any Subordinated Obligation) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and for which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary has been validly released by all creditors in writing.

(b) In the event of an Asset Disposition that results in an offer to purchase the Notes (and other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary) pursuant to Section 10.16(a)(ii)(B), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall purchase Notes tendered pursuant to an offer by the Company for the Notes (and, to the extent required, other Senior Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount (without premium) plus accrued but unpaid interest (or, in respect of such other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary, as applicable) in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in this Indenture which shall include, among other things, that the offer shall remain open for 20 Business Days following its commencement. If the aggregate purchase price of Notes (and, to the extent required, any other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary) tendered pursuant to such offer is less than the Net Available Cash allotted to the purchase thereof, the Company shall be entitled to apply the remaining Net Available Cash in accordance with Section 10.16(a)(ii)(A) or (C). The Company shall not be required to make such an offer to purchase Notes (and other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary) pursuant to this Section 10.16 if the Net Available Cash available therefor is less than $50.0 million (which lesser amount shall be carried forward for purposes of determining whether such an offer is required with respect to any subsequent Asset Disposition). The Company shall not be required to make such an offer to purchase Notes (and other Senior Indebtedness or Indebtedness of any non-Guarantor Subsidiary) pursuant to this Section 10.16 if a third party (including any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries) makes the offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to such an offer by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such offer. Upon completion of any such offer by the Company for Notes, the amount of Net Available Cash related to such Asset Disposition shall be reset to zero, and during the pendency of an offer by the Company for Notes being effected in advance of being required to do so by this Indenture, the amount of Net Available Cash the Company is offering to apply in such offer shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of Net Available Cash in respect of subsequent Asset Dispositions.

Pending the final application of any Net Available Cash pursuant to Section 10.16(a)(ii), the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply such Net Available Cash temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in Cash Equivalents or Investment Grade Securities.

105

(c) 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 in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 10.16. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 10.16, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 10.16(c) by virtue thereof.

SECTION 10.17. Limitation on Liens. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or Incur any Lien (the “Initial Lien”), other than Permitted Liens, upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries), whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after that date, which Lien secures any Indebtedness, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Lien effective provision is made to secure the Indebtedness due with respect to the Notes or, with respect to Liens on any Restricted Subsidiary's property or assets, any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Restricted Subsidiary, equally and ratably with (or prior to in the case of Liens with respect to Subordinated Obligations) the Indebtedness secured by such Lien for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured. Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged (a) upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien, (b) upon the sale or other disposition of the assets subject to such Initial Lien (or the sale or other disposition of the Person that owns such assets) in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, (c) upon the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary whose property or assets secure such Initial Lien as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or (d) upon the effectiveness of any defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes as specified in this Indenture.

SECTION 10.18. Limitation on Designations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Company shall be entitled to designate any Subsidiary of the Company (including any existing Subsidiary and any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Designation”) only if:

(a) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or after giving effect to such Designation; and

(b) either (x) the Company’s Investment in such Subsidiary does not exceed $1,000 or (y) the Company would be permitted to make an Investment under Section 10.10 at the time of Designation (assuming the effectiveness of such Designation) in an amount (the “Designation Amount”) equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Investment in such Subsidiary on such date.

In the event of any such Designation, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment constituting a Restricted Payment pursuant to Section 10.10 in the Designation Amount. Further, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, at any time:

106

(1) provide credit support for, or a guarantee of, any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any undertaking, agreement or instrument evidencing such Indebtedness);

(2) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

(3) be directly or indirectly liable for any Indebtedness which provides that the holder thereof may (upon notice, lapse of time or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its final scheduled maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Indebtedness of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary),

except, in the case of clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 10.18, to the extent permitted under Section 10.10 and Section 10.13; provided, however, that with respect to entering into keepwell or other comfort letter arrangements, such arrangements and agreements shall be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or a Restricted Payment at such time as the amount of the obligation of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with respect thereto is quantifiable. Standard Securitization Undertakings with respect to (x) a Qualified Receivables Financing of a Receivables Subsidiary are not prohibited by clauses (1), (2) and (3) above and (y) a Qualified Equipment Financing of an Equipment Subsidiary are not prohibited by clauses (1), (2) and (3) above.

The Company shall be entitled to revoke any Designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (a “Revocation”) if:

(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of and after giving effect to such Revocation; and

(2) all Liens and Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary outstanding immediately following such Revocation would, if Incurred at such time, have been permitted to be Incurred and shall be deemed to have been Incurred at such time.

All Designations and Revocations must be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the trustee attaching a certified copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors giving effect to such Designation or Revocation, as applicable, and certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions.

SECTION 10.19. Future Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company shall not permit any Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Notes (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) to Guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under the Credit Agreement unless such Wholly Owned Subsidiary executes a supplemental indenture to this Indenture providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Notes by such Wholly Owned Subsidiary in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Indenture within 30 days of such Guarantee of other Indebtedness.

107

SECTION 10.20. Suspended Covenants. (a) During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture (the occurrence of the events set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”) then, the covenants in Sections 8.01(c), 10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.16, 10.18 and 10.19 will not be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).

(b) In the event that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of Section 10.20(a), and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the suspension date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period”. Any Subsidiary Guarantees granted by the Subsidiary Guarantors prior to any Suspension Period shall be suspended during the Suspension Period. Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions (including Asset Dispositions made since the Issue Date) which are not applied in accordance with Section 10.16 shall be reset to zero.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to the Reversion Date shall give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided that (1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though Section 10.10 had been in effect prior to and during the Suspension Period; (2) all Indebtedness incurred or issued, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period shall be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 10.13(b)(v); (3) to the extent any Indebtedness is incurred or issued during the Suspension Period that would have required the Restricted Subsidiaries to become Subsidiary Guarantors and such Indebtedness is outstanding on the Reversion Date, such requirement shall become effective on the Reversion Date; (4) to the extent that any Liens are incurred during the Suspension Period such Liens shall be classified to have been incurred pursuant to clause (11) of the definition of Permitted Liens in Section 1.01 and (5) the applicable Subsidiary Guarantees shall be reinstated to the extent required by Section 10.19.

(d) The Company shall deliver promptly to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of the Company notifying it of any event set forth under this Section 10.20.

SECTION 10.21. Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under this Indenture for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or government charges if and to the extent so required by applicable law, in which event the Company or Trustee, as applicable, shall make such payment after such withholding or deduction has been made and shall account to the relevant authorities for the amount so withheld or deducted.

108

SECTION 10.22. Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Acquisitions. When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under this Indenture, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition (including, without limitation, any Incurrence of Indebtedness to finance such Limited Condition Acquisition), the date of calculation of such basket or ratio and determination as to whether any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing may, at the option of the Company, be the date the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition is entered into and, if the Company so elects, such baskets or ratios shall be calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period for purposes of determining the ability to consummate any such Limited Condition Acquisition, and, for the avoidance of doubt, (a) if any of such baskets or ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such basket or ratio (including due to fluctuations in Cash Flow of the Company or the target company) subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (b) such baskets or ratios need not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions; provided, however, that if the Company elects to have such calculation and determination occur at the time of entry into such definitive documentation, any such transactions (including any Incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive documentation is entered into for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios under this Indenture after the date of such documentation and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or, if applicable, the date that the definitive documentation with respect to such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition.

ARTICLE XI

Redemption of Notes

SECTION 11.01. Applicability of this Article. Redemption of Notes (whether by operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) as permitted or required by any form of Note issued pursuant to this Indenture shall be made in accordance with such form of Note and this Article XI; provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of Note shall conflict with any provision of this Article XI, the provision of such form of Note shall govern.

SECTION 11.02. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to redeem any Notes shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Notes, the Company shall, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) notify Trustee by Company Request of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed and shall deliver to such Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable such Trustee to select the Notes to be redeemed pursuant to Section 11.09.

If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, any notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

112

(c) Any redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of an Equity Offering, other offering, Change of Control or other corporate transaction or event. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption date may be delayed (including more than 60 days after the date the notice of redemption was sent or mailed) without any specified notice requirement until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another person.

ARTICLE XII

Subsidiary Guarantees

SECTION 12.01. Subsidiary Guarantee Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor and that such Subsidiary Guarantor will remain bound under this Article XII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any Default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, to the fullest extent permitted by law,

113

by (1) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; or (3) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other Subsidiary Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection).

Except as expressly set forth in Sections 4.02, 10.20 and 12.02, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any Default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, and (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law).

Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article V for the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay,

114

injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article V, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.

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

SECTION 12.02. Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 12.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article XII shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

SECTION 12.04. No Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XII shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XII at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 12.05. Modification. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XII, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 12.06. Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

115

SECTION 12.07. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by one of its Officers. If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless.

The deliver of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantees set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

The Subsidiary Guarantees shall be enforceable whether or not the Subsidiary Guarantors have executed a counterpart to the Note, and no signatures by the Subsidiary Guarantors on the Note shall be required.

SECTION 12.08. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 12.09. Release of Subsidiary Guarantees. (a) A Subsidiary Guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee is required for the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee, upon the occurrence of both of the following:

(i) One of the following events:

(A) any sale, exchange or transfer (by merger or otherwise) of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor after which the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, if such sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with Section 10.16(a)(i);

(B) the release and discharge of the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor of the Credit Agreement and any guarantee which resulted from the creation of the Subsidiary Guarantee after the Issue Date pursuant to Section 10.19, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee;

(D) the Company exercising its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article IV or the Company’s obligations

116

under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

(F) the merger or consolidation of a Subsidiary Guarantor with and into the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor; and

(ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the transaction permitting the release of such Subsidiary Guarantee have been complied with.

A Registered Note may not be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Note or a Regulation S Global Note except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Registered Note, duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

(i) certification, in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note, that such Registered Note is either (A) being transferred to a QIB in accordance with Rule 144A or (B) being transferred after expiration of the Restricted Period by a Person who initially purchased such Note in reliance on Regulation S to a buyer who elects to hold its interest in such Note in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note; and
