THE NOTES

Section 2.01. Form and Dating.

          The Initial Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Exchange Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or Depository rule or usage. The form of the Notes and any notation, legend or endorsement on them shall be satisfactory to both the Company and the Trustee. Each Note shall be dated the date of its issuance and shall show the date of its authentication.

          The terms and provisions contained in the Notes, annexed hereto as Exhibits A and B, shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

          The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Notes (the “Global Notes”). Notes offered and sold (i) in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Rule 144A Global Note”), and (ii) in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent global Notes in registered form, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Regulation S Global Note”), and in each case shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount of any Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication.

          The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by two Officers of the Company or an Officer and the Secretary of the Company. Such signature may be either manual or facsimile. The Company’s seal may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or reproduced on the Notes and may be in facsimile form.

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

          A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee pigns the certificate of authentication on the Note. Such signature may be either manual or facsimile. Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

          The Trustee or an authentication agent (the “Authenticating Agent”) shall authenticate (i) Initial Notes for original issue from time to time in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes (plus accrued interest and any fees owing in respect thereof) exchanged for Initial Notes hereunder, (ii) Exchange Notes from time to time for issue only in exchange for a like principal amount of Initial Notes and (iii) Subsequent Notes issued hereunder, in each case upon written orders of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate amount issued pursuant to

-30-

clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence except as provided in Section 2.07. The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of Notes to be authenticated, the date on which the Notes are to be authenticated and the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding on the date of authentication, whether the Notes are to be Initial Notes, Exchange Notes or Subsequent Notes, and shall further specify the amount of such Notes to be issued as the Global Note or Certificated Notes.

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

          The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent to authenticate Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by a Trust Officer, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company. 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 Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same right as an Agent to deal with the Company and Affiliates of the Company.

          The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples thereof.

Section 2.03. Registrar and Paying Agent.

          The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Registrar shall provide the Company a current copy of such register from time to time upon request of the Company. The Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to any Holder.

          The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, or agent for service of notices and demands, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and agent for service of notices and demands in connection with the Notes.

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Assets in Trust.

          The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all assets held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Notes (whether such assets have been distributed to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any Default in making any such payment. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to distribute all assets held by it to the Trustee and account for any assets disbursed and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Payment Default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to forthwith distribute to the Trustee all assets so held in trust by such Paying Agent together with a complete accounting of such sums. Upon distribution to the Trustee of all

-31-

assets that shall have been delivered by the Company to the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for such assets.

Section 2.05. Noteholder Lists.

          The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish or cause the Registrar to 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 Holders which list may be conclusively relied on by the Trustee.

Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.

          Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16, when Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations of the same series, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar or co-Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge in connection therewith payable by the transferor of such Notes (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges or transfers pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.06, 4.13, 4.16 or 9.06, in which event the Company shall be responsible for the payment of such taxes).

          The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing and (ii) selected for redemption in whole or in part pursuant to Article 3, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

          Any Holder of a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Notes may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

Section 2.07. Replacement Notes.

          If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder presents evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note. An indemnity bond may be required by the Company or the Trustee that is sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. In every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or the theft of such Note and the ownership thereof. Each of the Company and the Trustee may charge for its expenses in replacing a

-32-

Note. In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become due and payable, the Company in their discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof. The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

          Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company.

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes.

          Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.

          If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding until the Company and the Trustee receive proof satisfactory to each of them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.07.

          If on a Redemption Date or the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds U.S. legal tender sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest due on the Notes payable on that date and is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders thereof pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Section 2.09. Treasury Notes.

          In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Notes owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be considered as though they are 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 which a Trust Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so considered. The Company shall notify the Trustee, in writing, when it or any of its Affiliates repurchases or otherwise acquires Notes, of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes so repurchased or otherwise acquired.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes.

          Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes upon receipt of a written order of the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate. The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Notes are to be authenticated. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate upon receipt of a written order of the Company pursuant to Section 2.02 definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Section 2.11. Cancellation.

          The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying

-33-

Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Company, dispose of and deliver evidence of such disposal of all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation. Subject to Section 2.07, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Section 2.11.

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest.

          The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal (including post-petition interest in a proceeding under Bankruptcy Law) at the rate of interest then borne by the Notes. The Company shall, to the extent lawful, pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) at the rate of interest then borne by the Notes.

          If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder, as of a recent date selected by the Company, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest, and interest payable on such defaulted interest, if any, to be paid.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in Section 6.01(b) shall be paid to Holders as of the Record Date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid.

Section 2.13. Deposit of Moneys.

          Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, Excess Proceeds Payment Date and Maturity Date, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds U.S. legal tender sufficient to make payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, Excess Proceeds Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Trustee to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Change of Control Payment Date, Excess Proceeds Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be. The principal and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole Holder of the Global Notes represented thereby. The principal and interest on Notes in certificated form shall be payable at the office of the Paying Agent.

Section 2.14. CUSIP Number.

          The Company in issuing the Notes may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP number.

          (a) The Global Notes initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.17.

          Members of, or participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depository or under the Global Note, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder.

          (b) Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged for Certificated Notes in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository and the provisions of Section 2.16. In addition, Certificated Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Notes if (i) the Depository (x) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for any Global Note or (y) has ceased to be a clearing company registered under the Exchange Act and, in each case, a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice or (ii) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a written request from the Depository to issue Certificated Notes.

          (c) In connection with the transfer of Global Notes as an entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Notes shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an authentication order from the Company in the form of an Officers’ Certificate, authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in writing in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Notes, an equal aggregate principal amount of Certificated Notes of authorized denominations.

          (d) Any Certificated Note constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Note pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.16, bear the Private Placement Legend.

If no Global Note representing Notes held by Qualified Institutional Buyers or Persons acquiring Notes in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S, as the case may be, is then outstanding, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an authentication order in the form of an Officers’ Certificate in accordance with Section 2.02, authenticate such a Global Note in the appropriate principal amount.

     (D) if such beneficial interest is being transferred to an Institutional Accredited Investor, delivery of certification (substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto), a transferee letter of representation in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto and, at the option of the Company, an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act; or

     (E) if such beneficial interest is being transferred in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act, delivery of a certification to that effect (substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto); or

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

          If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(h) or (i)) shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare to be immediately due and payable the entire principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of acceleration and the same (1) shall become immediately due and payable or (2) if there are any amounts outstanding under any Senior Credit Facility, shall become immediately due and payable upon the first to occur of an acceleration under any Senior Credit Facility or five Business Days after receipt by the Company and the representative under any Senior Credit Facility of a notice of acceleration; provided, however, that after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if

     (4) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(f) or (g), the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

-62-

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. In case an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(h) or (i) shall occur, the principal, premium and interest amount with respect to all of the Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture and may take any necessary action requested of it as Trustee to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a party.

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

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default.

          Subject to Sections 2.09, 6.02, 6.07 and 8.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have the right to waive past Defaults under this Indenture except a Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on any Note as specified in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 6.01 or in respect of a covenant or a provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Holders as provided for in Section 8.02. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the requisite percentage of Holders have consented to such waiver and attaching copies of such consents. In case of any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes, respectively. This paragraph of this Section 6.04 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA.

          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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

          Subject to Section 2.09, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder not taking part in such direction, and the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Trust Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed may involve it in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. In the event the Trustee takes any action or follows any direction pursuant

-63-

to this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss or expense caused by taking such action or following such direction. This Section 6.05 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA, and such Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture and the Notes, as permitted by the TIA.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

          Subject to Section 6.07, no Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or any remedy thereunder unless:

     (1) such Holder has previously given 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 have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

     (3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense which may be incurred in compliance with such request;

     (4) the Trustee fails to institute such proceeding within 60 calendar days after receipt of such notice and the offer of indemnity; and

     (5) the Trustee has not received directions inconsistent with such written request during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

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

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, or premium, if any, or accrued interest of any Note held by such Holder on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

          If an Event of Default 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 unpaid principal, premium and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue principal and interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate provided for in Section 4.01, and such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

-64-

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

          The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and 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 any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

          Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceedings.

Section 6.10. Priorities.

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

     FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

     SECOND: if the Holders are forced to proceed against the Company or any Guarantor directly without the Trustee, to Holders for their collection costs;

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

     FOURTH: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amounts from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

          The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

          In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) occurs, such expenses and the compensation for such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee.

          The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee.

Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company.

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

Section 8.01. Without Consent of Holders.

          The Company and the Guarantors, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees without notice to or consent of any Holder:

-70-

     (1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provided that such amendment or supplement does not, in the opinion of the Trustee, adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect;

     (2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of Certificated Notes;

     (3) to comply with Article 5;

     (4) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

     (6) to add to the covenants of the Company or a Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor;

     (7) to secure the Notes pursuant to the requirements of Section 4.15 or otherwise;

     (8) to reflect the release of a Guarantor from its obligations with respect to its Guarantee pursuant to Section 10.06 or to add a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.20; or

     (9) to make any other change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder under this Indenture.

Section 8.02. With Consent of Holders.

          Subject to Section 6.07, the Company, and the Guarantors, when each is authorized by a Board Resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes or the Guarantees with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Subject to Section 6.07, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive compliance by the Company, or any Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, or the Guarantees. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

     (1) reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, or consent to take any action under this Indenture or the Notes;

     (2) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest (including Additional Interest or defaulted interest) on any Note;

     (3) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or repurchase, or reduce the redemption or repurchase price therefor;

     (4) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note or changing the place of payment from New York, New York;

-71-

     (5) waive a Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium on, or any redemption payment with respect to, any Note (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders as provided in Section 6.02 and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

     (6) make any changes in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or this sentence of Section 8.02;

     (7) affect the subordination or ranking of the Notes or any Guarantee in a manner adverse to the Holders;

     (8) after such obligation has arisen, amend, change or modify in any material respect, any obligation of the Company to make and consummate a Change of Control Offer in the event of a Change of Control or make and consummate an Excess Proceeds Offer with respect to any Asset Sale that has been consummated or modify any of the provisions or definitions with respect thereto; or

     (9) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Guarantee or this Indenture otherwise than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

          After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 8.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

          Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

Section 8.03. Compliance with TIA.

          Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

Section 8.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

          Until an amendment, waiver or supplement becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. Subject to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holder’s Note or portion of such Note by notice to the Trustee or the Company received before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Holders of

-72-

the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver.

          The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

          After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (9) of Section 8.02, in which case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

Section 8.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

          If an amendment, supplement, or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may request the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determine, in exchange for the Note the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment supplement or waiver.

Section 8.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

          The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 8 is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment, supplement or waiver constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and any Guarantors, enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions). The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

After the Notes are no longer outstanding, the Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive.

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

respect to all outstanding Notes and the Guarantees on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and each Guarantor shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 9.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all their other respective obligations under such Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), and Holders and any amounts deposited under Section 9.04 hereof shall cease to be subject to any obligations to, or the rights of, any holder of Senior Indebtedness under Article 12 or otherwise or any holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness under Article 11 or otherwise, except for the following provisions, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 9.05 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (ii) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.07, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (iv) this Article 9. Subject to compliance with this Article 9, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 9.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03 with respect to the Notes.

Section 9.03. Covenant Defeasance.

          (a) The Company may, at its option by Board Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, at any time, elect to have this Section 9.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 9.04.

For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the Guarantees, the Company and each Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event or Default under Section 6.01(c), 6.01(d) or 6.01(e) hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture, and such Notes and the Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby.

ARTICLE 10

GUARANTEE

Section 10.01. Unconditional Guarantee.

          Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that the principal of, premium thereon (if any) and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on any overdue interest on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Notes will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 10.03. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that the Guarantee will not be discharged

-78-

except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, each Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between a Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purpose of each Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of each Guarantee.

          Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Article 10.

Section 10.02. Severability.

          In case any provision of this Article 10 shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.03. Limitation on Guarantor’s Liability; Contribution.

          Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof, each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee does not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar U.S. Federal or state or other applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Holder and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of a Guarantor under its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of such Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 10.03, result in the obligations of such Guarantor not constituting such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

          In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under a Guarantee such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount, based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor), determined in accordance with GAAP, subject to the first paragraph of this Section 10.03, for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by such Funding Guarantor in discharging the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes or any other Guarantor’s obligations under a Guarantee.

Section 10.04. Successors and Assigns.

          This Article 10 shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall ensure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

-79-

Section 10.05. No Waiver.

          Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article 10 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 10 at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 10.06. Release of Guarantor.

          A Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee if:

     (i) the Guarantor has sold all of its assets or the Company and its Subsidiaries have sold all of the Capital Stock of the Guarantor owned by them, in each case in a transaction in compliance with Section 4.13;

     (ii) the Guarantor merges with or into or consolidates with, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, the Company or another Guarantor in a transaction in compliance with Section 5.01; or

     (iii) such Guarantor is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with Section 4.11;

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

Section 10.07. Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors.

          Each Subsidiary which is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.20 shall, and the Company shall cause each such Subsidiary to, promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor under this Article 10 and shall guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Notes and this Indenture. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and that, subject to the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and to the principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity, the Guarantee of such Guarantor is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect

-80-

notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. If an Officer of a Guarantor whose signature is on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the Guarantee is endorsed, 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 each Guarantor.

Section 10.09. Subordination of Subrogation and Other Rights.

          Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any claim against the Company that arises from the payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, shall be subject and subordinate to, and no payment with respect to any such claim of such Guarantor shall be made before, the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Notes in accordance with the provisions provided therefor in this Indenture.

ARTICLE 11

Section 11.01. Guarantee Obligations Subordinated to Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

          Each Guarantor covenants and agrees, and the Trustee and each Holder, by its acceptance of the Notes, likewise covenants and agrees, that to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article 11, the Indebtedness represented by the Guarantee and the payment of all obligations on the Notes pursuant to the Guarantee by such Guarantor are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment as provided in this Article 11 to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor whether outstanding on the Issue Date or thereafter incurred.

          This Section 11.01 and the following Sections 11.02 through 11.11 shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of or continue to hold Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of any Guarantor; such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of each Guarantor; and such holders are made obligees hereunder and they or each of them may enforce such provisions.

Section 11.02. Payment Over of Proceeds upon Dissolution, etc.

          In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to any Guarantor or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of any Guarantor, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy or (c) any general assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets or liabilities of any Guarantor, then and in any such event:

     (1) the holders of all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full in cash of all amounts due on or in respect of all such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness before the Holders are entitled to receive, pursuant to the Guarantee of such Guarantor, any payment or distribution of any kind or character (other than a payment or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described in Section

-81-

9.01 or Section 9.04) by such Guarantor on account of any of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee;

     (2) any payment or distribution of assets of such Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, by set-off or otherwise, to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled but for the subordination provisions of this Article 11 (other than a payment or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described in Section 9.01 or Section 9.04) shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; and

     (3) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.02, the Trustee or any Holder shall have received any payment or distribution of assets of such Guarantor of any kind or character, whether in cash, Property or securities, including, without limitation, by way of set-off or otherwise, in respect of any of the obligations of any Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee (other than a payment or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described in Section 9.01 or Section 9.04) before all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor is indefeasibly paid in full, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of such Guarantor for application to the payment of all such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness in full in cash or, as acceptable to the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, any other manner, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

          The consolidation of a Guarantor with, or the merger of a Guarantor with or into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of a Guarantor following the conveyance, transfer or lease of its Properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article 5 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities of such Guarantor for the purposes of this Article 11 if the Person formed by such consolidation or the surviving entity of such merger or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease such Properties and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions set forth in Article 5.

          (a) Unless Section 11.02 shall be applicable, upon the occurrence of a Payment Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of any Guarantor no payment or distribution (other than a payment or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described in Section 9.01 or Section 9.04) of any assets or securities of a Guarantor of any kind or character (including, without limitation, cash, Property and any payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason

-82-

of the payment of any other Indebtedness of such Guarantor being subordinated to its obligations under its Guarantee) shall be made by such Guarantor, including, without limitation, by way of set-off or otherwise, for or on account of its obligations under its Guarantee, or for or on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of the Notes and neither the Trustee nor any Holder shall take or receive from any Guarantor, directly or indirectly in any manner, payment in respect of all or any portion of its obligations under its Guarantee commencing on the date of receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the representative of the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (the “Guarantor Representative”) of the occurrence of a Payment Default, and in any such event, such prohibition shall continue until such Payment Default is cured, waived in writing or otherwise ceases to exist. At such time as the prohibition set forth in the preceding sentence shall no longer be in effect, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph (b), such Guarantor shall resume making any and all required payments in respect of its obligations under its Guarantee, including any missed payments.

          (b) Unless Section 11.02 shall be applicable, upon the occurrence of a Non-Payment Event of Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness of any Guarantor, no payment or distribution (other than a payment or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described in Section 9.01 or Section 9.04) of any assets of such Guarantor of any kind or character (including, without limitation, cash, Property and any payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Indebtedness of such Guarantor being subordinated to its obligations under its Guarantee) shall be made by such Guarantor, including, without limitation, by way of set-off or otherwise, on account of any of its obligations under its Guarantee, or on account of the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition of the Notes and neither the Trustee nor any Holder shall take or receive from any Guarantor, directly or indirectly in any manner, payment in respect of all or any portion of its obligations under its Guarantee for a period (the “Guarantee Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date of receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Guarantor Representative of such Non-Payment Event of Default, unless and until (subject to any blockage of payments that may then be in effect under the preceding paragraph (a)) the earliest to occur of the following events: (w) more than 179 days shall have elapsed since the date of receipt of such written notice by the Trustee, (x) such Non-Payment Event of Default shall have been cured or waived in writing or shall have ceased to exist, (y) such Designated Senior Indebtedness shall have been discharged or indefeasibly paid in full in cash or (z) such Guarantee Payment Blockage Period shall have been terminated by written notice to such Guarantor or the Trustee from the Guarantor Representative initiating such Guarantee Payment Blockage Period, or the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of such issue of Designated Senior Indebtedness, after which, in the case of clause (w), (x), (y) or (z), such Guarantor shall resume making any and all required payments in respect of its obligations under its Guarantee, including any missed payments. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, no Non-Payment Event of Default with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Guarantee Payment Blockage Period initiated by the Guarantor Representative shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a second Guarantee Payment Blockage Period initiated by the Guarantor Representative unless such Non-Payment Event of Default shall have been waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days. In no event shall a Guarantee Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date of the receipt by the Trustee of the notice referred to in this Section 11.03(b) or, in the event of a Non-Payment Event of Default which formed the basis for a Payment Blockage Period under Section 12.03(b) hereof, 179 days from the date of the receipt by the Trustee of the notice referred to in Section 12.03(b) (the “Initial Guarantee Blockage Period”). Any number of additional Guarantee Payment Blockage Periods may be commenced during the Initial Guarantee Blockage Period; provided, however, that no such additional Guarantee Payment Blockage Period shall extend beyond the Initial Guarantee Blockage Period. After the expiration of the Initial Guarantee Blockage Period, no Guarantee Payment Blockage Period may be commenced under this Section 11.03(b) and no Payment Blockage

-83-

Period may be commenced under Section 12.03(b) until at least 360 consecutive days have elapsed from the day of commencement of the Initial Guarantee Blockage Period.

          (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee or any Holder shall have received any payment from a Guarantor prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.03, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Guarantor Representative initiating the Guarantee Payment Blockage Period, in trust for distribution to the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or, if no amounts are then due in respect of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, promptly returned to the Guarantor, or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

Section 11.04. Trustee’s Relation to Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

          The Trustee and any agent of any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 11 with respect to any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it in its individual or any other capacity to the same extent as any other holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or any such agent of any of its rights as such holder.

          With respect to the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 11, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness if it shall mistakenly pay over or deliver to Holders, such Guarantor or any other Person, moneys or assets to which any holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 11 or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 11.04 shall affect the obligation of any other such Person receiving such payment or distribution from the Trustee or any other Agent to hold such payment for the benefit of, and to pay such payment over to, the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

Section 11.05. Subrogation.

          Upon the payment in full of all amounts payable under or in respect of all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor, the Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities of such Guarantor made on such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness until all amounts due to be paid under the Guarantee shall be paid in full. For the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which Holders or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 11, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11 to holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness by Holders or the Trustee, shall, as among each Guarantor, its creditors other than holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by such Guarantor to or on account of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

          If any payment or distribution to which the Holders would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article 11 shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11, to the payment of all amounts payable under Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, then and in such case, the Holders shall be entitled to receive from the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding any payments or distributions received by such holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness in

-84-

excess of the amount sufficient to pay all amounts payable under or in respect of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.

Section 11.06. Guarantee Subordination Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

          The subordination provisions of this Article 11 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders on the one hand and the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article 11 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among each Guarantor, its creditors other than holders of its Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the obligation of such Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to make payments to the Holders in respect of its obligations under its Guarantee in accordance with its terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against such Guarantor of the Holders and creditors of such Guarantor other than the holders of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon a Default or an Event of Default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 11 of the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (1) in any case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding-up, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 11.02, to receive, pursuant to and in accordance with such Section, cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder, or (2) under the conditions specified in Section 11.03, to prevent any payment prohibited by such Section or enforce their rights pursuant to Section 11.03(c).

          The failure by any Guarantor to make a payment in respect of its obligations on its Guarantee by reason of any provision of this Article 11 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder.

Section 11.07. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

          Each Holder by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article 11 and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of a Guarantor whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership proceedings, or otherwise, the timely filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of the indebtedness of such Guarantor owing to such Holder in the form required in such proceedings.

Section 11.08. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

          (a) No right of any present or future holder of any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of a Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any non-compliance by such Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

          (b) Without limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section 11.08, the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 11 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Guarantor Senior

-85-

Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Guarantor Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; (3) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection or payment of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; and (4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against a Guarantor and any other Person; provided, however, that in no event shall any such actions limit the right of the Holders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the obligations under the Guarantees pursuant to Article 6 hereof or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable laws if the taking of such action does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

Section 11.09. Notice to Trustee.

          (a) A Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to such Guarantor which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in respect of the Notes. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 11 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the obligations under the Guarantees, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from such Guarantor or a holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee, fiduciary or agent therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.09, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 11.09 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose under this Indenture (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any obligation under a Guarantee), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding but without limiting the rights and remedies of the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness or any trustee, fiduciary or agent therefor, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date; nor shall the Trustee be charged with knowledge of the curing of any such default or the elimination of the act or condition preventing any such payment unless and until the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate to such effect.

          (b) In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 11, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 11, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 11.10. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

          Upon any payment or distribution of assets of a Guarantor referred to in this Article 11, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of

-86-

ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 11.

Section 11.11. No Suspension of Remedies.

          Nothing contained in this Article 11 shall limit the right of the Trustee or the Holders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the obligations under the Guarantees pursuant to Article 6 or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable law, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 11 of the holders, from time to time, of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

     (1) the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to receive indefeasible payment in full in cash of all amounts due on or in respect of all Senior Indebtedness before the Holders are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character (other than a payment or distribution in the form of Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described in Section 9.01 or Section 9.04) on account of any obligations on the Notes;

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, no Non-Payment Event of Default with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness which existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period initiated by the Representative shall be, or be made, the basis for the commencement of a second Payment Blockage Period initiated by the Representative unless such event of default shall have been waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days. In no event shall a Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date of the receipt by the Trustee of the notice referred to in this Section 12.03(b) or in the event of a Non-Payment Event of Default which formed the basis of a Guarantee Payment Blockage Period under Section 11.03(b), 179 days from the default the receipt by the Trustee of the notice referred to in Section 11.03(b) (the “Initial Blockage Period”). Any number of additional Payment Blockage Periods may be commenced during the Initial Blockage Period; provided, however, that no such additional Payment Blockage Period shall extend beyond the Initial Blockage Period.

          (c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee or any Holder shall have received any payment prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.03, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Representative initiating the Payment Blockage Period, in trust for distribution to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or, if no amounts are then due in respect of Senior Indebtedness, promptly returned to the Company, or otherwise as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

Section 12.04. Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness.

          The Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it in its individual or any other capacity to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or any such agent of any of its rights as such holder.

-89-

          With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 12, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall mistakenly pay over or deliver to Holders, the Company or any other Person, moneys or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 12.04 shall affect the obligation of any other such Person receiving such payment or distribution from the Trustee or any other Agent to hold such payment for the benefit of, and to pay such payment over to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Section 12.05. Subrogation.

For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 12, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12 to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.

          If any payment or distribution to which the Holders would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article 12 shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12, to the payment of all amounts payable under the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, then and in such case the Holders shall be entitled to receive from the holders of such Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding any payments or distributions received by such holders of such Senior Indebtedness in excess of the amount sufficient to pay all amounts payable under or in respect of such Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.

Section 12.06. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

          The provisions of this Article 12 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders on the one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article 12 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon a Default or an Event of Default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 12 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness (1) in any case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding-up, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 12.02, to receive, pursuant to and in accordance with such Section, cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder, or (2) under the conditions specified in Section 12.03, to prevent any payment prohibited by such Section or enforce their rights pursuant to Section 12.03(c).

-90-

          The failure to make a payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes by reason of any provision of this Article 12 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default hereunder.

Section 12.07. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.

          Each Holder by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership proceedings, or otherwise, the timely filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of the indebtedness of the Company owing to such Holder in the form required in such proceedings.

Section 12.08. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.

          (b) Without limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section 12.08, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 12 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (3) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection or payment of Senior Indebtedness; and (4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person; provided, however, that in no event shall any such actions limit the right of the Holders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Article 6 hereof or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable laws if the taking of such action does not otherwise violate the terms of this Indenture.

Section 12.09. Notice to Trustee.

          (a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office in respect of the Notes. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 12 or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Notes, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee, fiduciary or agent therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.09, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 12.09 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose under this Indenture (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding but without limiting the rights and remedies of the holders of Senior

-91-

Indebtedness or any trustee, fiduciary or agent therefor, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date; nor shall the Trustee be charged with knowledge of the curing of any such default or the elimination of the act or condition preventing any such payment unless and until the Trustee shall have received an Officers’ Certificate to such effect.

          (b) In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 12, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 12.10. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

          Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 12, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 12.

Section 12.11. No Suspension of Remedies.

          Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall limit the right of the Trustee or the Holders to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Article 6 or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable law, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 12 of the holders, from time to time, of Senior Indebtedness.

Transportation Technologies Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of the original issuance of the Notes.

The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on March 15 or September 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not such day is a Business Day) even if the Notes are cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such Record Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Payments of principal and premium, if any, will be made (on presentation of such Notes if in certificated form) in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that the Company may pay principal, premium, if any, and interest by check payable in such money; provided, further, that the Company may elect at its option to pay up to one-half (1/2) of the interest payment due on the September 30, 2004 Interest Payment Date through the issuance of additional Notes in a principal amount equal to the amount of such interest (“Subsequent Notes”) and, if the Company so elects, the Company shall give notice to Holders on or prior to (but no earlier than 20 days before) the Interest Payment Date stating such election and the amount of the interest payment to be satisfied through the issuance of Subsequent Notes. The Company may deliver any interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder at the Holder’s registered address.

          4. Indenture. The Company issued this Note under an Indenture, dated as of May 21, 2004 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Initial Notes of the Company designated as its 12.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”). The Notes are limited in aggregate principal amount to the principal amount of the Existing Notes (plus accrued interest and any fees owing in respect thereof) exchanged into Initial Notes under the Indenture plus the amount of Subsequent Notes issued under the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes, the Subsequent Notes and the Exchange

A-3

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes include all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company.

          5. Subordination. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed. Each Holder by his acceptance hereof agrees to be bound by such provisions and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee, on his behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided for in the Indenture and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purposes.

          6. Guarantee. The obligations of the Company hereunder are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by the Guarantors. Each Guarantee by a Guarantor is subordinated in right of payment to all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor to the same extent that the Notes are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company.

          7. Optional Redemption.

          On or after the Issue Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on March 31 of each year set forth below plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption:

          8. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption under paragraph 7 of this Note will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address.

     Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the redemption of the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent for redemption on such Redemption Date, then, unless the Company defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, the Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest from and after such Redemption

A-4

Date and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any.

          9. Offers to Purchase. The Indenture provides that, after certain Asset Sales (as defined in the Indenture) and upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Company will make an offer to purchase certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

          10. Registration Rights. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders of Initial Notes named therein, the Company will be obligated to consummate an exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Note shall have the right to exchange this Note for the Company’s Series B 12.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the “Exchange Notes”), which have been registered under the Securities Act, in like principal amount and having terms identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes. The Holders of the Initial Notes shall be entitled to receive certain Additional Interest payments in the event such exchange offer is not consummated and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

          11. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption.

          12. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered holder of a Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

          13. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company. After that, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another person.

          14. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. If the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee U.S. legal tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity and complies with the other provisions of the Indenture relating to defeasance, the Company will be discharged from certain provisions of the Indenture and the Notes (including certain covenants, but excluding its obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes).

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness, make payments in respect of its Capital Stock, enter into transactions with Affiliates, create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries, sell assets, create liens, issue capital stock, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make certain Investments, merge or consolidate with any other Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets.

          18. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(h) or (i) of the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may declare to be immediately due and payable the entire principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding plus accrued interest to the date of acceleration; provided, however, that after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. In case an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) of the Indenture occurs, such principal amount, together with premium, if any, and interest with respect to all of the Notes, shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders.

          19. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company, and may otherwise deal with the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

          20. No Recourse Against Others. As more fully described in the Indenture, no director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

          21. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note.

12.5% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE 2010, SERIES B

     1. Interest. Transportation Technologies Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of the original issuance of the Notes. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing September 30, 2004. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

     The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes.

     2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on March 15 or September 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not such day is a Business Day) even if the Notes are cancelled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such Record Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Payments of principal and premium, if any, will be made (on presentation of such Notes if in certificated form) in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that the Company may pay principal, premium, if any, and interest by check payable in such money; provided, further, that the Company may elect at its option to pay up to one-half (1/2) of the interest payment due on the September 30, 2004 Interest Payment Date through the issuance of additional Notes in a principal amount equal to the amount of such interest (“Subsequent Notes”) and, if the Company so elects, the Company shall give notice to Holders on or prior to (but no earlier than 20 days before) the Interest Payment Date stating such election and the amount of the interest payment to be satisfied through the issuance of Subsequent Notes. The Company may deliver any interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder at the Holder’s registered address.

     3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may act as Paying Agent but may act as Registrar or co-Registrar.

     4. Indenture. The Company issued this Note under an Indenture, dated as of May 21, 2004 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its Series B 12.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the “Exchange Notes”) issued in exchange for the initial 12.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (the “Initial Notes” and, together with the Exchange Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes are limited in aggregate principal amount to the principal amount of the Existing Notes (plus accrued interest and any fees owing in respect thereof) exchanged into Initial Notes under

B-3

the Indenture plus the amount of Subsequent Notes issued under the Indenture. The Notes include the Initial Notes, the Subsequent Notes and the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture. The Initial Notes, the Subsequent Notes and the Exchange Notes are treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date of the Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes include all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company.

     5. Subordination. The Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Indenture, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, whether outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed. Each Holder by his acceptance hereof agrees to be bound by such provisions and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee, on his behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided for in the Indenture and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purposes.

     6. Guarantee. The obligations of the Company hereunder are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by the Guarantors. Each Guarantee by a Guarantor is subordinated in right of payment to all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor to the same extent that the Notes are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company.

     7. Optional Redemption.

     On or after the Issue Date, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on March 31 of each year set forth below plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption:

     8. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption under paragraph 7 of this Note will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address.

     Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the redemption of the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent for redemption on such Redemption Date, then, unless the Company defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any, the Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest from and after such Redemption Date and the only right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued interest, if any.

B-4

     9. Offers to Purchase. The Indenture provides that, after certain Asset Sales (as defined in the Indenture) and upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), and subject to further limitations contained therein, the Company will make an offer to purchase certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

     10. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption.

     11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered holder of a Note shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

     12. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company. After that, Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an “abandoned property” law designates another person.

     13. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. If the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee U.S. legal tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity and complies with the other provisions of the Indenture relating to defeasance, the Company will be discharged from certain provisions of the Indenture and the Notes (including certain covenants, but excluding its obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes).

     14. Amendments, Supplements, and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes or make any other change that does not adversely affect in any material respect the rights of any Holder.

     15. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness, make payments in respect of its Capital Stock, enter into transactions with Affiliates, create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries, sell assets, create liens, issue capital stock, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make certain Investments, merge or consolidate with any other Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

B-5

     16. Successor Entity. When a successor entity assumes, in accordance with the Indenture, all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the Indenture, and immediately before and thereafter no Default or Event of Default exists and certain other conditions are satisfied, the predecessor entity will be released from those obligations.

     17. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the Indenture. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6.01(h) or (i) of the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may declare to be immediately due and payable the entire principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding plus accrued interest to the date of acceleration; provided, however, that after such acceleration but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto. In case an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) of the Indenture occurs, such principal amount, together with premium, if any, and interest with respect to all of the Notes, shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders.

     18. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company, and may otherwise deal with the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

     19. No Recourse Against Others. As more fully described in the Indenture, no director, officer, employee, stockholder or incorporator, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. Such waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

Attention: Corporate Trust Division

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $   principal amount of the 12.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010, Series A, of Transportation Technologies Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) and any guarantee thereof (the “Notes”). Upon transfer, the Notes would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:

     1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”)) purchasing Notes for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” and we are acquiring the Notes not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risk of our investment in the Notes and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Notes in the normal course of our business. We and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

     2. We acknowledge that we have had access to such financial and other information, and have been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions of representatives of the Company and receive answers thereto, as we deem necessary.

     3. We understand that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Notes that we will not prior to the date (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) that is two years after the later of the original issuance of the Notes and the last date on which the Company or any affiliate of the Company was the owner of such Notes (or any predecessor thereto) offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Notes except (a) to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (b) inside the United States to a “qualified institutional buyer” in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (c) inside the United States to an “institutional accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to the Trustee a signed letter substantially in the form of this letter,(d) outside the United States in an offshore transaction in compliance with Rule 904 under the Securities Act, (e) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (f) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. We acknowledge that the Company and the Trustee reserve the right prior to any offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the applicable Notes pursuant to clause (c) or (e) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee.

D-1

     We understand that the Trustee will not be required to accept for registration of transfer any Notes acquired by us, except upon presentation of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee that the foregoing restrictions on transfer have been complied with. We further understand that any Notes purchased by us will be in the form of definitive physical certificates and that such certificates will bear a legend reflecting the substance of paragraph 3 of this letter. We further agree to provide to any person acquiring any of the Notes from us a notice advising such person that transfers of such Notes are restricted as stated herein and that certificates representing such Notes will bear a legend to that effect.

     We represent that the Company and the Trustee and others are entitled to rely upon the truth and accuracy of our acknowledgments, representations and agreements set forth herein, and we agree to notify you promptly in writing if any of our acknowledgments, representations or agreements herein cease to be accurate and complete.
