(a)                                 Provisions relating to the Initial Notes and Additional Notes are set forth in Appendix A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture.  The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture.  The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, rules or agreements with national securities exchanges to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company).  Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.  The Notes shall be in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b)                                 The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited.

The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.  However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture shall govern and be controlling.

The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Company at the option of the Holders pursuant to an Offer to Purchase as provided in Section 4.11.  The Notes shall not be redeemable, other than as provided in Article 3.

Subject to Sections 4.07 and 4.09, Additional Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Company without notice to or the consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Initial Notes and shall have the same terms as to ranking, status, security, redemption or otherwise as the Initial Notes (other than issue price or the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of such Additional Notes except for the first payment of interest following the issue date of such Additional Notes); provided that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then the Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number.  Any Additional Notes shall be issued with the benefit of an indenture supplemental to this Indenture.

Section 2.02                             Execution and Authentication.

(a)                                 At least one Officer shall execute the Notes on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature.  If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note shall nevertheless be valid.

(b)                                 A Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose until authenticated substantially in the form of Exhibit A by the manual signature of the Trustee.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture.

(c)                                  On the Issue Date, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication Order”), authenticate and deliver Initial Notes bearing

22

the Restricted Notes Legend.  In addition, at any time, from time to time, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Authentication Order authenticate and deliver any Additional Notes for an aggregate principal amount specified in such Authentication Order for such Additional Notes issued hereunder.

(d)                                 The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.

Section 2.03                             Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a)                                 The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and at least one office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes (“Note Register”) and of their transfer and exchange.  The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.  The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.  The Company may rescind or change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to any Holder.  The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture.  If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(b)                                 The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.  The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

Section 2.04                             Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

The Company shall, no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each due date for the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on any of the Notes, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held in trust for the Holders entitled to the same, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.  The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and premium, if any, interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment.  While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further liability for the money.  If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent.  Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.  In the event that the Paying Agent receives funds in advance of any due date, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to invest such funds in the U.S. Bank Money Market Deposit Account or any substantially similar successor account, any earnings on which shall be for the account of the Company.

23

Section 2.05                             Holder Lists.

The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a).  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least five Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, and the Company shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 312(a).

Section 2.06                             Transfer and Exchange.

(a)                                 The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A.

(b)                                 To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 or at the Registrar’s request.

(c)                                  No service charge shall be made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange (other than pursuant to Section 2.07), but the Holders shall be required to pay any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 4.11 and 9.05).

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

(e)                                  Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required (1) to issue, to register the transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of sending of a notice of redemption of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02 or the making of an Offer to Purchase and ending at the close of business on the day of such sending, (2) to register the transfer of or to exchange any Note so selected for redemption or subject to purchase in an Offer to Purchase in whole or in part, except the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of any Note being redeemed or purchased in part or (3) if a redemption or purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase is to occur after a Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Note on or after the Record Date and before the date of redemption or purchase.

(f)                                   Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(g)                                  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail (or, in the case of Global Notes, cause to be transferred by book entry), in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more replacement Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount.

24

(h)                                 At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.  Whenever any Global Notes or Definitive Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail (or, in the case of Global Notes, cause to be transferred by book entry), the replacement Global Notes and Definitive Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02.

(i)                                     All certifications, certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar pursuant to this Section 2.06 and Appendix A to effect a registration of transfer or exchange may be submitted by mail or by facsimile or electronic transmission.

Section 2.07                             Replacement Notes.

If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if a Holder claims that its Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and loss, destruction or theft of such Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met.  An indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced.  The Company may charge the Holder for the expenses of the Company and the Trustee in replacing a Note.  Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08                             Outstanding Notes.

(a)                                 The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.  Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

(b)                                 If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the UCC in effect in the State of New York.

(c)                                  If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, from and after such date it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

(d)                                 If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09                             Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that

25

a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.  Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.

Section 2.10                             Temporary Notes.

Until Definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes.  Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.  Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.  Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

Section 2.11                             Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures (subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act).  The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12                             Defaulted Interest.

(a)                                 If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in an Officers’ Certificate of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee 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 the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12.  The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special record date.  At least 10 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) shall send, or cause to be sent to each Holder a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

(b)                                 Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, 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 interest, which were carried by such other Note.

26

Section 2.13                             CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and/or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange or in Offers to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or exchange of Offer to Purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Company shall as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee of any change that the Company is aware of in the CUSIP or ISIN numbers.

Section 2.14                             Notes Beneficially Owned by Company and its Affiliates.

The Company and its Affiliates will not acquire any Notes or beneficial ownership thereof except in the form of a Definitive Note and will not retransfer any such Notes except in the form of a Definitive Note to the Company or its Affiliates.

(b)                                 The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased.  Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in minimum amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not $2,000 or an integral multiple of

27

$1,000 in excess thereof, shall be redeemed or purchased.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

(c)                                  After the redemption date, upon surrender of a Note to be redeemed in part only, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed shall be issued in the name of the Holder of the Notes upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate book entries shall be made to reflect such partial redemption).

Section 3.03                             Notice of Redemption.

(a)                                 The Company shall send, or cause to be sent (or, in the case of Notes held in book-entry form, by electronic transmission) notices of redemption of Notes at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed pursuant to this Article at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8.  Except as set forth in Section 3.07(c), notices of redemption may not be conditional.

(b)                                 The notice shall identify the Notes (including CUSIP numbers) to be redeemed and shall state:

(1)                                 the redemption date;

(2)                                 the Redemption Price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest;

(3)                                 if any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed;

(7)                                 the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;

(8)                                 that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and

(9)                                 if applicable, any condition to such redemption.

(c)                                  At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be sent or caused to be sent

28

to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter period shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.03(b).

Section 3.04                             Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Once notice of redemption is sent in accordance with Section 3.03, Notes called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the Redemption Price (except as provided for in Section 3.07(c)).  The notice, if sent in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.  In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.  Subject to Section 3.05, on and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 3.05                             Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

(b)                                 If the Company complies with the provisions of Section 3.05(a), on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase on and after such date.  If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption or purchase date shall be paid on the relevant Interest Payment Date to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date.  If any Note called for redemption or purchase shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 3.05(a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the redemption or purchase date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

Section 3.06                             Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to the Holder (or cause to be transferred by book entry) at the expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed or unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered representing the same Indebtedness to the extent not redeemed or purchased; provided that each new Note shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.  It is understood that, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officers’ Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

(a)                                 The Company covenants to file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the Company has filed the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may prescribe) that the Company may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (other than confidential filings, documents subject to confidential treatment and correspondence with the SEC); provided that in each case the delivery of materials to the Trustee by electronic means or filing of documents pursuant to the SEC’s “▇▇▇▇▇” system (or any successor electronic filing system) shall be deemed to be “filed” with the Trustee as of the time such documents are filed via the “▇▇▇▇▇” system (or such successor system) for purposes of this Section 4.03; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such information, documents or reports have been filed pursuant to the “▇▇▇▇▇” system (or its successor). Delivery of such information, documents and reports to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not

31

constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

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

Section 4.04                             Compliance Certificate.

(a)                                 The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 100 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the Issue Date, a certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

(b)                                 Upon the Company becoming aware of any Default that has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, the Company shall promptly (which shall be no more than five Business Days following the date on which the Company becomes aware of such Default) send to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying such event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.05                             Reserved.

Section 4.06                             Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

The Company and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefits or advantages of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Section 4.07                             Limitation on Subsidiary Debt.

(a)                                 The Company will not permit any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries to create, assume, incur, Guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness (any such Indebtedness or Guarantee, “Subsidiary Debt”), without causing such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary to provide a Secured Note Guarantee, until such time as such Indebtedness or Guarantee, as the case may be, is no longer outstanding or in effect.

32

(b)                                 Section 4.07(a) shall not apply to, and there shall be excluded from Subsidiary Debt in any computation under such restriction, Subsidiary Debt constituting:

(1)                                 Subsidiary Debt of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with or otherwise acquired by the Company or any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or otherwise becomes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (or arising thereafter pursuant to contractual commitments entered into prior to such Person becoming a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary) or at the time of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties and assets of such Person (or a division thereof) as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (or arising thereafter pursuant to contractual commitments entered into prior to such Person becoming a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary) and is assumed by such Subsidiary, other than any increase in the amount of such Subsidiary Debt (including any increase in the amount of such Subsidiary Debt arising pursuant to contractual commitments entered into prior to such acquisition) incurred in contemplation thereof; provided that any such Subsidiary Debt is not Guaranteed by any other Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than any Guarantee existing at the time of such merger, consolidation or sale, lease or other disposition of properties and assets and that was not issued in contemplation thereof);

(2)                                 Subsidiary Debt owed to the Company or any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary or under Guarantees of any such Subsidiary Debt;

(3)                                 Subsidiary Debt created, incurred, issued, assumed or Guaranteed to pay or finance the payment of all or any part of the purchase price or the cost of development, operation, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of property, assets or equipment acquired or developed, operated, constructed, altered, repaired or improved by a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, and any related transactional fees, costs and expenses, provided such Subsidiary Debt is created, incurred, issued, assumed or Guaranteed within 18 months (or in the case of any Subsidiary Debt supported by an export credit agency, 24 months) after the later of (i) the acquisition or the completion of any such development, operation, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of such property, assets or equipment, whichever is later, or (ii) the placing into commercial operation of such property after the acquisition or completion of any such development, operation, construction, alteration, repair or improvement (or, in each case, is incurred pursuant to firm commitment financing arrangements obtained within such period), and, provided further, that the outstanding amount of such Subsidiary Debt, without duplication, does not exceed 100% of the fair value of the property or equipment acquired or developed, operated, constructed, altered, repaired or improved at the time such Subsidiary Debt is incurred;

(4)                                 Subsidiary Debt permitted to be secured by Liens permitted by clauses (4) or (5) of the definition of Permitted Lien (whether or not such Subsidiary Debt is in fact secured by such Liens) and any Guarantees thereof; or

(5)                                 Subsidiary Debt outstanding on the date of this Indenture and any extension, renewal, substitution, replacement, refinancing or refunding of any Subsidiary Debt existing on the date of this Indenture or referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3) or (4); provided that any Subsidiary Debt incurred to so extend, renew, substitute, replace, refinance or refund shall be incurred within 12 months of the maturity, retirement or other repayment or prepayment (including any such repayment pursuant to amortization obligations with respect to such Subsidiary Debt) of the Subsidiary Debt referred to in this clause (5) or clauses (1), (2), (3) or (4) above and the outstanding amount of the Subsidiary Debt incurred to so extend, renew, substitute, replace, refinance or refund shall not exceed the outstanding amount of Subsidiary Debt being extended,

33

renewed, substituted, replaced, refinanced or refunded plus any premiums or fees (including tender premiums) or other reasonable amounts payable, plus the amount of fees, expenses and other costs incurred, in connection with any such extension, renewal, substitution, replacement, refinancing or refunding.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding Sections 4.07(a) and (b), any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may create, assume, incur, Guarantee or otherwise become liable for Indebtedness that would otherwise be subject to Section 4.07(a), without providing a Secured Note Guarantee, if after giving effect thereto, Aggregate Debt does not exceed an amount equal to the greatest of (1) $2.50 billion, (2) 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and (3) 1.75 times Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the Measurement Period immediately preceding the date of the creation or incurrence of the Subsidiary Debt. Any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary also may, without providing a Secured Note Guarantee, extend, renew, substitute, replace, refinance or refund any Subsidiary Debt permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided that any Subsidiary Debt incurred to so extend, renew, substitute, replace, refinance or refund shall be incurred within 12 months of the maturity, retirement or other repayment or prepayment (including any such repayment pursuant to amortization obligations with respect to such Subsidiary Debt) of the Subsidiary Debt being extended, renewed, substituted, replaced, refinanced or refunded and the outstanding amount of the Subsidiary Debt incurred to so extend, renew, substitute, replace, refinance or refund shall not exceed the outstanding amount of Subsidiary Debt being extended, renewed, substituted, replaced, refinanced or refunded plus any premiums or fees (including tender premiums) or other reasonable amounts payable, plus the amount of fees, expenses and other costs incurred, in connection with any such extension, renewal, substitution, replacement, refinancing or refunding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Guarantees of Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the New Credit Facility and under the Notes issued on the Issue Date shall be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under this Section 4.07(c).

(d)                                 For purposes of this Section 4.07, in the event that any Subsidiary Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Subsidiary Debt in such Section, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify, and may reclassify, such Subsidiary Debt and only be required to include the amount and type of such Subsidiary Debt in one of clauses (1) through (5) of Section 4.07(b) or Section 4.07(c), and Subsidiary Debt may be divided and classified and reclassified into more than one of the types of Subsidiary Debt described above. In addition, for purposes of calculating compliance with this Section 4.07, in no event will the amount of any Subsidiary Debt be required to be included more than once despite the fact more than one Person is or becomes liable with respect to any related Indebtedness (for example, and for avoidance of doubt, in the case where more than one Domestic Restricted Subsidiary incurs Subsidiary Debt or otherwise becomes liable for such Subsidiary Debt, the amount of such Subsidiary Debt shall only be included once for purposes of such calculations).

(e)                                  Any Subsidiary of the Company required to provide a Secured Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.07(a) or that chooses to provide a Secured Note Guarantee shall (i) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit B or in such other form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall provide a Secured Note Guarantee, (ii) comply with Section 4.12, if applicable, and (iii) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel.  The execution by such Subsidiary of a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 4.07(e) shall evidence the Secured Note Guarantee by such Subsidiary, whether or not the person signing as an officer of such Subsidiary still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note.  The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication shall constitute due delivery of such Secured Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of such Subsidiary.

Section 4.08                             Limitation on Sale and Lease-back Transactions.

(a)                                 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries, to enter into any sale and lease-back transaction with respect to any Principal Property or Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, unless:

(1)                                 such transaction was entered into prior to the Issue Date;

(2)                                 such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Company or a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary by the Company or any Subsidiary of any Principal Property or Collateral;

(3)                                 such transaction involves a lease of Principal Property or Collateral executed by the time of or within 18 months (or in the case of any transaction supported by the credit of an export credit agency, 24 months) after the later of (i) the acquisition or the completion of any such development, operation, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of such property, assets or equipment or (ii) the placing into commercial operation of such Principal Property or Collateral after the acquisition or completion of any such development, operation, construction, alteration, repair or improvement;

(4)                                 such transaction involves a lease for not more than three years (or which may be terminated by the Company or the applicable Domestic Restricted Subsidiary within a period of not more than three years);

(5)                                 the Company or the applicable Domestic Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Indebtedness secured by a Lien on the property to be leased in an amount equal to Attributable Debt with respect to such sale and lease-back transaction pursuant to Section 4.09(a); or

(6)                                 the Company or the applicable Domestic Restricted Subsidiary applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of the Principal Property to the purchase of other Principal Property or to the retirement, repurchase or other repayment or prepayment of Notes or other Pari Passu Obligations within 365 calendar days before or after the effective date of any such sale and lease-back transaction; provided that in lieu of applying such amount to such retirement, repurchase, repayment or prepayment, the Company or any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation, such Notes to be credited at the cost thereof to the Company or such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 4.08(a), the Company and its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into any sale and lease-back transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions if after giving effect thereto and at the time of determination, Aggregate Debt does not exceed an amount equal to the greatest of (1) $2.50 billion, (2) 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and (3) 1.75 times Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the Measurement Period immediately preceding the closing date of the sale and lease-back transaction.

Section 4.09                             Limitation on Liens.

(a)                                 The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries, to create or incur any Lien on any Principal Property or on Collateral, in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in order to secure any Indebtedness, except, in each case, Permitted Liens.

35

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 4.09(a), the Company or any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company may create or incur Liens which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.09(a), if after giving effect thereto, Aggregate Debt does not exceed an amount equal to the greatest of (1) $2.50 billion, (2) 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company and (3) 1.75 times Consolidated EBITDA of the Company for the Measurement Period immediately preceding the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien; provided that any such Liens that are created or incurred in reliance on this Section 4.09(b) shall only secure Pari Passu Obligations. The Company or any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company also may create or incur Liens that extend, renew, substitute or replace (including successive extensions, renewals, substitutions or replacements), in whole or in part, any Lien created or incurred in reliance on this or the preceding sentence or that secure any extension, renewal, replacement, refinancing or refunding (including any successive extensions, renewals, replacements, refinancings or refundings) of any Indebtedness within 12 months of the maturity, retirement or other repayment or prepayment of the Indebtedness (including any such repayment pursuant to amortization obligations with respect to such Indebtedness) being extended, renewed, substituted, replaced, refinanced or refunded, which Indebtedness is secured by a Lien created or incurred in reliance on this or the preceding sentence.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the New Credit Facility and under the Notes issued on the Issue Date shall be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under this Section 4.09(b).

(c)                                  For purposes of this Section 4.09, (1) the creation of a Lien to secure Indebtedness which existed prior to the creation of such Lien will be deemed to involve Indebtedness in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the asset subjected to such Lien and (y) the principal amount secured by such Lien, and (2) in the event that a Lien meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Permitted Liens or Liens created or incurred in reliance on Section 4.09(b), the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify, and may reclassify, such Lien and only be required to include the amount and type of such Lien as a Permitted Lien or a Lien created or incurred in reliance on Section 4.09(b), and a Lien may be divided and classified and reclassified into more than one of such types of Liens. In addition, for purposes of calculating compliance with this Section 4.09, in no event will the amount of any Indebtedness or Liens securing any Indebtedness be required to be included more than once despite the fact more than one Person is or becomes liable with respect to such Indebtedness and despite the fact such Indebtedness is secured by the assets of more than one Person (for example, and for avoidance of doubt, in the case where there are Liens on assets of one or more of the Company and its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries securing any Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness secured shall only be included once for purposes of such calculations).

Section 4.10                             Corporate Existence.

Subject to Article 5, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (1) its corporate existence and (2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company; provided that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise if the Company in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Section 4.11                             Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

(a)                                 An “Offer to Purchase” means an offer by the Company to purchase Notes as required by this Indenture.  An Offer to Purchase must be made by written offer (the “offer”) sent to the Holders.  The Company will notify the Trustee at least 5 days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to sending the offer to Holders of its obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the

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

(5)                                 that a Holder may tender all or any portion of its Notes pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, subject to the requirement that any portion of a Note tendered must be in a minimum denomination of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof;

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

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

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

(9)                                 that on the purchase date the Purchase Price will become due and payable on each Note accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, and, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price, interest on Notes purchased will cease to accrue on and after the purchase date;

(10)                          that Holders are entitled to withdraw Notes tendered by giving notice, which must be received by the Company, as applicable, or the Trustee not later than the close of business on the Offer Expiration Date, setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the tendered Notes, the certificate number of the tendered Notes and a statement that the Holder is withdrawing all or a portion of the tender;

(11)                          a statement that if Notes in an aggregate principal amount less than or equal to the purchase amount are duly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, the Company will purchase all such Notes;

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

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

44

either the Trustee or holders of at least of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given the Company written notice of the Default; and

(i)                                     except as permitted by this Indenture, any Secured Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary ceases, for any reason, to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with its terms), or any Significant Subsidiary that is a Guarantor denies or disaffirms in writing its obligations under its Secured Note Guarantee.

Section 6.02                             Acceleration.

(a)                                 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e) or Section 6.01(f) with respect to the Company), then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders); provided, however, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if such rescission and annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal of or interest on the Notes, have been cured or waived as provided in this Indenture.

(b)                                 If an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(e) or Section 6.01(f) with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest that is both accrued and unpaid on all the outstanding Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.

(c)                                  In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(g) has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(g) shall be remedied or cured, or waived by the holders of such Indebtedness, or the Pari Passu Obligations that gave rise to such Event of Default shall have been discharged in full, within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company so elects, the sole remedy of the Holders for a failure to comply with any obligations the Company may have or is deemed to have pursuant to Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or the Company’s failure to comply with Section 4.03 will for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such failure consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such failure.  The Additional Interest will accrue on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which such failure first occurs until such violation is cured or waived and shall be payable on each relevant Interest Payment Date to Holders of record on the regular Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date.  On the 181st day after such failure (if such violation is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), such failure will then constitute an Event of Default without any further notice or lapse of time and the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided above.  If the Company elects to pay Additional Interest pursuant to this clause (d), the Company will notify the Trustee at least three (3) Business Days before the Notes are eligible for acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02(a).

45

(e)                                  The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive all past defaults (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium or interest) and rescind any acceleration with respect to such defaults and its consequences if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03                             Other Remedies.

(a)                                 If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

(b)                                 The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding.  A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04                             Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing or past Default and its consequences hereunder, except:

(1)                                 a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder (including any Note which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an Offer to Purchase); and

(2)                                 a Default with respect to a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected,

provided, however, that, subject to Section 6.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration.  Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05                             Control by Majority.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.  However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder, is otherwise contrary to applicable law, or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense for which the Trustee has not received an indemnity or security against loss, liability or expense satisfactory to it, and the Trustee may take any other action it deems proper which is not inconsistent with any such direction received from the Holders.

46

Section 6.06                             Limitation on Suits.

(a)                                 No Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless (1) such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee, (3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if accepted, provide indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee, to institute such proceeding as Trustee, (4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity or security and (5) the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.  Such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of a Note directly (as opposed to through the Trustee) for enforcement of payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such Note on or after the date the payment is due.

(b)                                 A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).

Section 6.07                             Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on its Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note (including in connection with an Offer to Purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08                             Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of and premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid to but not including the date of payment on the Notes, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and their agents and counsel.

Section 6.09                             Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If the Trustee or any Holder 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, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceedings has been instituted.

Section 6.10                             Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, 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

47

remedy are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.11                             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 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 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.12                             Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee may file proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and is entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims.  Any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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, to pay to the Trustee and Collateral Agent any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and Collateral Agent and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and Collateral Agent under Section 7.07.  To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and Collateral Agent under Section 7.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.13                             Priorities.

If the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

(a)                                 first, to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and their agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;

(c)                                  third, to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct, if applicable.

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

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

Section 7.05                             Notice of Defaults.

(a)                                 Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity upon redemption, purchase pursuant to an offer to purchase, acceleration or otherwise) of all Notes Obligations.  Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b)                                 Without limiting the generality of anything herein, or in any other Security Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum liability and all other liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of such Guarantor that are relevant under applicable Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws, fraudulent conveyance or transfer laws, or similar such laws, result in the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable Federal or state laws (after giving effect to all rights of subrogation, contribution or reimbursement, subject to Section 10.03).

(c)                                  Each Guarantor agrees that the Notes Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Article 10 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party hereunder.

(d)                                 Each Guarantor’s guarantee contained in this Article 10 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all Notes Obligations guaranteed hereby or the release of such Guarantor’s guarantee in accordance with Section 10.09.

(e)                                  No payment made by the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Collateral Agent or any Notes Secured Party from the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Notes Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the

61

liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Notes Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Notes Obligations), remain liable for the Notes Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby or the release of such Guarantors guarantee in accordance with Section 10.

Section 10.02                      Right of Contribution.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.  Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10.03.  The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 10.03                      No Subrogation.

Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders, no Guarantor shall be entitled to seek or enforce its right to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Holders for the payment of the Notes Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until payment in full of all Notes Obligations guaranteed hereby or the release of such Guarantor’s guarantee in accordance with Section 10.09.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Notes Obligations shall not have been paid in full or such payment is otherwise prohibited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Trustee for the benefit of itself, the Collateral Agent and the Holders in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Trustee, if required), to be applied against the Notes Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Trustee may determine in accordance with this Indenture.

Section 10.04                      Amendments, etc. with respect to the Notes Obligations.

Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Notes Obligations made by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder may be rescinded by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder and any of the Notes Obligations may be continued, and the Notes Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released in accordance with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, from time to time, in accordance with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents.  None of the Collateral Agent, Trustee nor any Notes Secured Party shall have any

62

obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Notes Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Article 10 or any property subject thereto.

Section 10.05                      Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Notes Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder upon the guarantee contained in this Article 10 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article 10; the Notes Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article 10; and all dealings between the Company and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article 10.  Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Company or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Notes Obligations.  Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Article 10 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of any Security Documents, any of the Notes Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company or any other Person against the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company, such Guarantor or any other Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company or any other obligor for the Notes Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article 10, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.  When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as they may have against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Notes Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or the Holders against any Guarantor.  For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

Section 10.06                      Reinstatement.

The guarantee contained in this Article 10 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Notes Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

63

Section 10.07                      Payments.

Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid in U.S. dollars without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 10.08                      Execution and Delivery.

To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its authorized officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.

If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

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

If required by Section 4.07, the Company shall cause any newly created or acquired Domestic Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.07, Section 4.12 and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.09                      Release of Guarantees.

The Secured Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released (and thereupon shall terminate and be discharged and be of no further force and effect) upon:

(a)                                 the release or discharge of the Indebtedness of or Guarantee by such Subsidiary that resulted in the creation of such Secured Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.07(a) (or would have resulted in the creation of a Secured Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.07(a) had such Secured Note Guarantee not already been in place) other than a discharge of (1) a Guarantee as a result of payment under such Guarantee or (2) Indebtedness as a result of the acceleration of such Indebtedness due to a default or event of default under the terms thereof;

(b)                                 a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary such that such Subsidiary is no longer a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, if such sale or other disposition is not prohibited by the terms of this Indenture;

(c)                                  if such Subsidiary was not required to create a Secured Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.07(a) but did so at its option, upon the request by such Subsidiary of release at any time; provided that after giving effect to such release, the Company would be in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 4.07;

(d)                                 upon the Company exercising the legal defeasance option, or the Company’s obligations under the Indenture being discharged, in accordance with Article 8; or

(e)                                  upon payment in full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on all Notes then outstanding and all other Notes Obligations (other than contingent liabilities for which no claim has been asserted).

64

Upon written direction of the Company and delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company in order to evidence or effect the release of any Subsidiary from its obligations under its Secured Note Guarantee. Upon any release of a Subsidiary from its Secured Note Guarantee, such Subsidiary shall also be released, without any further action by such Subsidiary or the Company, from its Notes Obligations under the Security Documents.

ARTICLE 11

SECURITY

Section 11.01                      Collateral and Security Documents.

(a)                                 The Notes Obligations shall be secured as provided in the Security Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure the Notes Obligations, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  The Company and the Guarantors will comply with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, to the extent required under the Security Documents and subject to the limitations therein, do or cause to be done all things (including the filing of UCC financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto) which are necessary to confirm that the Collateral Agent holds a Lien in the Collateral, including property that becomes Collateral after the Issue Date.

Section 11.02                      Release of Liens on Collateral.

(a)                                 The Liens on the Collateral will be released with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable:

(1)                                 in whole, upon payment in full of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any, on all Notes then outstanding and all other Notes Obligations (other than contingent liabilities for which no claim has been asserted);

(2)                                 in whole, upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Section 8.01;

(3)                                 in whole, upon a legal defeasance or a covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, respectively;

(4)                                 as set forth under Sections 9.01 and 9.02;

(5)                                 with respect to assets of a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its Secured Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 10.09; and

(6)                                 as to any asset constituting Collateral (A) that is sold or otherwise disposed of by the Company or any Guarantor (to a person that is not the Company or a Guarantor) in a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture and the Security Documents (to the extent of the interest sold or disposed of, including as a result of any investments of Collateral in non-Guarantor Subsidiaries to the extent not prohibited by this Indenture and the Security Documents) or (B) that is otherwise released in accordance with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents (including in connection with the grant of a Permitted Prior Lien); provided in each case that if any such transaction is a sale, transfer or other disposition (whether in the form of an exclusive license or otherwise) of all or substantially all of the Material

65

Intellectual Property to any person (in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions), unless such transaction or series of related transactions is pursuant to a Change of Control not prohibited by Article 5 or a sale, transfer or other disposition to a Guarantor or a Person that becomes a Guarantor in connection with such transaction, this Indenture and the Security Documents provide that the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any such action requested by the Company to effect the release of any Collateral if and only if each of the following additional conditions are satisfied: (x) there is no Default or Event of Default immediately prior to or after giving effect to such transaction(s) (as certified to the Collateral Agent in the Officers’ Certificate referred to in the following clause (y)), and (y) the Company shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate certifying that (1) the Company has determined that such conveyances and/or transfers are necessary or desirable in connection with a reorganization, restructuring, optimization or other similar event/action in furtherance of the business interests of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (2) each transferee in such transaction or series of transactions is a Restricted Subsidiary, and (3) the Company has or will receive consideration for such Material Intellectual Property that constitutes Fair Market Value of such Material Intellectual Property as determined by the Company in a commercially reasonable manner.

(b)                                 Upon compliance by the Company or any Guarantor, as the case may be, with the conditions precedent required by this Indenture, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall promptly cause to be released and reconveyed to the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, the released Collateral.

Section 11.03                      Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security Documents.

Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents.  Such funds shall be held on deposit by the Trustee without investment, and the Trustee shall have no liability for interest or other compensation thereon.

Section 11.04                      Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Collateral Agent.

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 11 upon the Company or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Company or such Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 11; and if the Collateral shall be in the possession of the Collateral Agent under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Collateral Agent.

Section 11.05                      Appointment and Authorization of U.S. Bank National Association as Collateral Agent.

(a)                                 The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental

66

thereto.  The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such and agrees to act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and the Trustee with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral on the express conditions contained in this Section 11.05.  The provisions of this Section 11.05 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee, any of the Holders nor the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained in this Section 11.05 other than as expressly provided in Section 11.02.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.  The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act. The obligations of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral shall be governed exclusively by the express terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and not by the UCC except to the extent required by applicable law.  Neither duties of, nor any adverse consequence to, a secured party under the UCC shall be read into this Indenture or the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement as obligations against the Collateral Agent to the extent such obligations are not reflected in the express terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b)                                 The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement by or through agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or through its related Persons and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c)                                  None of the Collateral Agent, nor any of its respective related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by any of them in good faith and reasonably believed by them to be authorized or within the discretion or rights of powers under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any Guarantor, officer or related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture or any other indenture, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture or any other indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture or any other indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or for any failure of the Company, any Guarantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  None of the Collateral Agent or any of its related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this or any other Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Company or any Guarantor.

67

(d)                                 The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, or telephone message, statement, or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company or any Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture or any other indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture or any other indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with a request or consent of the Trustee and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(e)                                  The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company or a Guarantor referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 (subject to this Section 11.05).

(f)                                   U.S. Bank National Association and its Affiliates (and any successor Collateral Agent and its affiliates) may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with the Company or any Guarantor and its Affiliates as though it was not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Trustee.  The Trustee and the Holders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, U.S. Bank National Association or its Affiliates (and any successor Collateral Agent and its affiliates) may receive information regarding the Company or any Guarantor or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company, such Guarantor or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to the Trustee or the Holders.  Nothing herein shall impose or imply any obligation on the part of U.S. Bank National Association (or any successor Collateral Agent) to advance funds.

(g)                                  The Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee and the Company and the Guarantors, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent.  If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent.  If no successor Collateral Agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Trustee, subject to the consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor Collateral Agent.  If no successor Collateral Agent is appointed and consented to by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated.  After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder,

68

the provisions of this Section 11.05 (and Sections 7.07 and 11.06) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture.  U.S. Bank National Association shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion.  Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.  The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(h)                                 The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Trustee or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.  If the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Trustee or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Trustee or Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and security or indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. The Company and the Guarantors recognize and agree that the interest in the Collateral is vested in the Collateral Agent, and that the Collateral Agent shall be designated as secured party for UCC purposes pursuant to the requirements of the Holders of the Notes for the express purpose of providing security on the Notes Obligations, and not for the purpose of advancing any personal interests of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee therein. Consequently, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9-210 of the UCC, the Company and each Guarantor agrees that any request for issuance of an estoppel certificate, request for accounting, list of Collateral, or status of the account in any manner relating to the existence or perfection of any portion of the Collateral shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and to the Holders of the Notes. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or obligation to the Notes Secured Parties under any provision of the UCC with respect to any request for issuance of an estoppel certificate, request for accounting, list of Collateral, or status of the account in any manner relating to the existence or perfection of any portion of the Collateral, including but not limited to any obligation under Sections 9-210 of the UCC, and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be obligated to respond to any such request only upon receipt of a written direction to do so signed by Holders representing not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding.

(i)                                     If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations secured by the Security Documents arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent.

(j)                                    The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly

69

or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, including without limitation, any duty to file or record any financing statements, continuation statement or other documents to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest, or to determine whether all of the Company’s or Guarantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral and that the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing.

(ii)                                  written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Custodian to make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Note to reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Global Note, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Definitive Note and cause, or direct the Custodian to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by the Global Note to be increased by the aggregate principal amount of the Definitive Note to be exchanged and shall credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Note equal to the principal amount of the Definitive Note so canceled.  If no Global Notes are then outstanding and the Global Note has not been previously exchanged for certificated securities pursuant to Section 2.4, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, a new Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

(c)                                  Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.  (i)  The transfer and exchange of Global Notes or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the Indenture (including applicable restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.  A transferor of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall deliver a written order given in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depositary to be credited with a beneficial interest in such Global Note or another Global Note and such account shall be credited in accordance with such order with a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Note being transferred.  Transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Regulation S Global Note, whether before or after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, shall be made only upon receipt by the Trustee of a certification in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Notes from the transferor to the effect that such transfer is being made in accordance with Regulation S or (if available) Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that, if such transfer is being made prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, the interest transferred shall be held immediately thereafter through Euroclear or Clearstream.

(ii)                                  If the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global Note to a beneficial interest in another Global Note, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of the Global Note to which such interest is being transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Note from which such interest is being transferred.

4

(iii)                               Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in Section 2.4), a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

(iv)                              In the event that a Global Note is exchanged for Definitive Notes pursuant to Section 2.4, such Notes may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3 (including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the Initial Notes intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A, Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

(d)                                 Restrictions on Transfer of Regulation S Global Note.  (i) Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream.  During the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note may only be sold, pledged or transferred through Euroclear or Clearstream in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and only (1) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (2) so long as such security is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person whom the selling holder reasonably believes is a QIB that purchases for its own account or for the account of a QIB to whom notice is given that the resale, pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (3) in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S, (4) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 144 (if applicable) under the Securities Act or another available exemption, (5) to an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount of Notes of $250,000 or (6) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States of America.  Prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers by an owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Note to a transferee who takes delivery of such interest through the Rule 144A Global Note shall be made only in accordance with Applicable Procedures and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written certification from the transferor of the beneficial interest in the form provided on the reverse of the Initial Notes to the effect that such transfer is being made to (1) a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A or (2) an IAI purchasing for its own account, or for the account of such an IAI, in a minimum principal amount of the Notes of $250,000 (in which case the transferee must furnish a signed letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Trustee).  Such written certification shall no longer be required after the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period.

(ii)                                  Upon the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial ownership interests in the Regulation S Global Note shall be transferable in accordance with applicable law and the other terms of the Indenture.

(e)                                  Legends.
